PART I
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K and other statements we make contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors, including incorrect or changed assumptions. For a discussion of known material factors that could affect our results, please refer to “Part I, Item 1. Business,” “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.
You can typically identify “forward-looking statements” by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast,” “proposed,” “should,” “seek,” and other similar words. Such statements may relate to our future financial position, budgets, capital expenditures, projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations and possible future strategic transactions. Actual results frequently differ from assumed facts and such differences can be material, depending upon the circumstances.
While we believe we are providing forward-looking statements expressed in good faith and on a reasonable basis, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from such forward-looking statements. The following are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, us:

Recent Developments
Increased capital investments by our offshore and international customers, together with internal cost reduction and strict capital discipline measures and other corporate actions, have resulted in improvements to our consolidated operating results in 2023, as shown below (in thousands).

The favorable impact of continued growth in offshore and international project activity and backlog conversion in 2023 was partially offset by the impact of an industry-wide decline in U.S. well completions (the U.S. year-end rig count declined 20% from December 2022) – triggered by weaker commodity prices. Additionally, improvements in operating results have been tempered by the willingness of operators to invest in U.S. land-based drilling, completion and production activities given regulatory and market pressures around environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations.
In February 2023, we repaid the $17.3 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, outstanding under our 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Additionally, our Board authorized a $25.0 million stock repurchase plan, which extends through February 2025. During 2023, $6.9 million of share repurchases were made under this authorization. On February 16, 2024, we amended our senior secured credit facility, which provides for a $125.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL Facility”), to extend its maturity date from February 10, 2025 to February 16, 2028.
Our Industry
We provide a broad range of products and services to our customers through each of our business segments. See Note 14, “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, 2023. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and natural gas industry, particularly upon the willingness of our customers 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 well as regulatory and market pressures around ESG considerations. As a result, demand for our products and services is largely sensitive to expectations regarding future crude oil and natural gas prices.
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. The level of capital spending in recent years by oil and gas companies for exploration and production activities has improved from the lows observed during 2020 and 2021, which resulted from the economic downturn associated with the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As discussed previously, we saw continued growth and recovery in offshore and international project activity in 2023, partially offset by a decline in U.S. well completion activity due to a decline in commodity prices from 2022 levels. 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.”
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, to a lesser extent, changes in land-based drilling and completion activity. In this regard, exploration and production companies generally evaluate their capital expenditure commitments for
-5-


offshore (particularly deepwater) and international projects based on the longer-term outlook for commodity prices since they are expensive to drill and complete and have long lead times to first production. Conversely, near-term variations in crude oil and natural gas prices affect land-based drilling and completion activity, particularly in the United States. Bidding and quoting activity, along with customer orders, for offshore and international projects continued to increase in 2023, following improvements in recent years in the longer-term outlook for crude oil prices and associated increases in customer spending commitments. With these market improvements, we grew our backlog and related project-driven revenues in 2023.
Demand for 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 West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices, given the shorter lead times for investment and 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 and, to a lesser extent, internationally. The primary driver for this activity is the price of crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas. In past years, operator spending in our industry has been particularly focused on crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development in the U.S. shale plays utilizing enhanced horizontal drilling and completion techniques.
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment generated 52% to 56% 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, military and other energy applications, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. Products and services used primarily in deepwater producing regions include our FlexJoint® technology, advanced connector systems, high-pressure riser systems, managed pressure drilling 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, subsea mineral gathering systems, valves and sound and vibration dampening products used in military applications. We have facilities globally that support our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.
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, on-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 the United States.
Products and Services
In operation for over 80 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 other industries. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment is dependent in part on the industry’s continuing innovation and creative applications of existing technologies. To that end, we are investing in research, have been awarded select contracts and are bidding on additional projects that facilitate the development of alternative energy sources, including offshore wind and deepsea mineral gathering opportunities. We own various patents covering some of our technology, particularly in our connector and valve product lines.
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 $333 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $308 million as of December 31, 2022 and $260 million as of December 31, 2021. We expect approximately 70% of our backlog as of December 31, 2023 to be recognized as revenue during 2024. In some instances, these purchase
-6-


orders are cancellable 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, material cancellations may occur in the future. We believe 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. 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, 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 end-users, engineering and design companies, prime contractors, and at times, our competitors through outsourcing arrangements. No customer in this segment represented more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue in any period presented. Our main competitors in this segment include Baker Hughes Company, Hutchinson Group (a subsidiary of Total S.A.), NOV Inc., Oceaneering International, Inc., OneSubsea (a joint venture between SLB, Aker Solutions and Subsea 7), Sparrows Offshore Group Limited, TenarisHydril (a division of Tenaris S.A.) and W-Industries LLC.
Well Site Services
Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our Well Site Services segment generated 30% to 31% 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. Our completion equipment and services are used in both onshore and offshore applications throughout the drilling, completion and production phases of a well’s life cycle.
Market, Services, Customers and Competitors
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.
Our Well Site 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 pressure control, flowback and well testing, downhole and extended-reach, and drilling services.
As of December 31, 2023, we provided completion and drilling services through approximately 20 locations serving our customers in the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, and international markets. Employees in our Well Site Services segment typically rig up and operate our equipment on the well site for our customers. Our equipment is primarily used during the completion and production stages of a well. We provide our services and equipment based on daily rates which vary depending on the type of equipment and the length of the job. We own patents or have patents pending covering some of our technology, particularly in our wellhead frac stack equipment and downhole extended-reach technology product lines. Our customers in this segment include major, independent and private oil and gas companies and other large oilfield service companies. No customer in this segment represented more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue in any period presented. Competition in the Well Site Services segment is widespread and includes many smaller companies, although we also compete with the larger oilfield service companies for certain equipment and services.

Downhole Technologies
Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our Downhole Technologies segment contributed 13% to 18% 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.
Market
Similar to our Well Site Services segment, 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 drivers for this activity are 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 development.
Products
Product and service offerings for this segment utilize innovations in perforation technology through patented and proprietary systems combined with advanced modeling and analysis tools. Our 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.
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.
Seasonality of Operations
Our operations are directly impacted by customer budgets and seasonal weather conditions in certain areas in which we operate, most notably in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast regions of the United States, where severe winter weather conditions can restrict access to work areas. In addition, summer and fall completion and 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, full-year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters.
Human Capital
Employees
As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of 2,752 full-time employees – with 61% in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, 26% in our Well Site Services segment, 10% in our Downhole Technologies segment and 3% in our corporate headquarters. We were party to collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 350 employees located outside the United States as of December 31, 2023. We believe we have good labor relations with our employees.
Safety
The health and safety of our employees, contractors, business partners, visitors and the communities where we work is a cornerstone of our culture, “Safety Focus from the Top.” We are transparent in our communications about our health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) commitment to employees, contractors, vendors, suppliers and customers. We solicit input to improve our programs and employee participation is a vital element in our success.
We establish global targets in an effort to promote HSE improvement and monitor our performance through real-time reporting. Executive management and operations personnel review incidents and loss trends on a weekly basis and we update our Board no less than monthly.
-8-


We seek to encourage our employees to actively participate in HSE initiatives through safety committees, behavior-based observations, and employees stopping work if at-risk conditions are observed, among other aspects of our safety management system. We monitor global compliance with our internal policies and procedures, internationally recognized/certified management systems and all applicable national, state, local and international laws and regulations.
Our focus on safety was recognized with the 2023 NOIA Safety in Seas Culture of Safety Award, which recognizes overall organizational immersion in, and commitment to, safety through measurable and sustained safety performance over a prolonged period of time.
Diversity
We recognize that our employees are critical to our long-term success. Our operations are global and demand a diverse workforce, which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage and allows us to better understand and communicate with a diverse population of constituents. Our strong focus on innovation necessitates an equally strong focus on technical skills and training programs, which we believe creates high performing teams that can arrive at better solutions to problems. We strive to cultivate a culture and work environment that enables us to attract, train, promote and retain a diverse group of skilled individuals who collectively enable us to safely provide quality, innovative solutions to our customers while remaining considerate of the environment and of our communities.
We strive to align our national and cultural diversity with our global operations. For example, 65% of our full-time employee base was in the United States where we generated 76% of our revenues in 2023. We have and continue to remain focused on improving gender balance across our field and manufacturing operations, technical, business and management roles. As of December 31, 2023, women made up 19% of our global workforce. Additionally, 20% of our executive and senior management roles in 2023 were held by women, including our Chief Executive Officer and President who has served in this role and as a member of our Board since 2007.
As of December 31, 2023, three (43%) of our seven Board members are women and one (14%) of our Board members is Hispanic.
Hiring, Training and Development of our Workforce
Our employee hiring, training, career development and retention practices are key to our success. We recruit and train our workforce while providing competitive wages and benefits. Our industry is cyclical, leading to varying headcount needs during industry cycles. We prioritize recalling our experienced employees for manufacturing and field positions to the extent possible as conditions improve following an industry downturn.
We invest in ongoing training and development of our employees through technical and non-technical courses and programs, which are regularly refreshed to meet the requirements of an evolving business landscape. Employee training and development includes course work as well as on the job mentoring – emphasizing, among others matters, safety, ethical behavior, compliance with our internal policies and laws and regulations, protection of the environment, cyber and other security threats, and skills and competencies necessary for a specific position. In addition to internal training and development, we also value the benefits of continuing formal education and maintain an educational assistance program that reimburses eligible expenses from accredited institutions.
Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters
Our business operations are subject to stringent 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. Numerous governmental entities, including domestically the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”), a law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Justice, 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 well site 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.
-9-


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 (“CWA”), 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 (“DOI”) 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 liabilities for pollution damages;
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on generators, transporters, disposers 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 (“ESA”), 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 DOI, 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;
the U.S. 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, 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.
Additionally, there exist regional, state, tribal and local jurisdictions in the United States where we operate that also have, or 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 issuance of injunctions restricting or prohibiting some or all of our activities in a
-10-


particular area. 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 well site 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 such as CERCLA and RCRA, we could incur strict joint and several liability due to damages to natural resources or for remediating hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators. Moreover, an accidental release of materials into the environment during the course of our operations may cause us to incur significant costs and liabilities. 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. 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:
Hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions, but 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. At the federal level, the EPA asserted federal regulatory authority under the SDWA over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel fuels and published permitting guidance for such activities. Additionally, the EPA issued a final regulation under the CWA prohibiting discharges to publicly owned treatment works of wastewater from onshore unconventional oil and gas extraction facilities. In late 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. The Biden Administration has also called for revisions and restrictions to the leasing and permitting programs for oil and gas development on federal lands and, for a time, suspended federal oil and gas leasing activities. Future actions taken by the federal government to limit the availability of new oil and gas leases would adversely impact the oil and gas industry and impact demand for our products and services. Separately, the DOI released a report on the federal oil and gas leasing program in November 2021, following a review of  the onshore and offshore federal oil and gas program. The report states an intent to modernize the federal oil and gas leasing program, and recommends reforms including, among other items: raising royalty rates and current minimum levels for bids, rentals, royalties, and bonds; revising bidding practices to avoid leasing of low potential lands; and performing more meaningful public and tribal consultations regarding the leasing and permitting processes. Several of the report recommendations require action by Congress and cannot be implemented unilaterally by the Biden Administration and, thus, the extent to which this administration will act upon the report’s recommendations cannot be predicted at this time; however, any revisions to the federal leasing or permitting process that make it more difficult for our customers to pursue operations on federal lands or waters may adversely impact demand for our products and services. Moreover, further or different constraints may be adopted by the Biden Administration in the future, including but not limited to a delay in permitting procedures, which may reduce the desirability or viability of projects on federal lands or waters. For example, in November 2022, the federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) proposed a rule that would limit flaring from well sites on federal lands, as well as allow an increase in the costs associated with federal oil and gas leasing and the delay or denial of permits if the BLM finds that an operator’s methane waste minimization plan is insufficient. Additionally, in July 2023, the BLM proposed a rule to update the fiscal terms of federal oil and gas leases, increasing fees, rents, royalties, and bonding requirements. The rule would also add new criteria for the BLM to consider when determining whether to lease nominated land, including the presence of important habitats or wetlands, the presence of historical properties or sacred sites, and recreational use of the land. The BLM anticipates final action on this proposal in spring 2024. At the state level, many states have adopted legal requirements that have imposed new or more stringent permitting, public disclosure or well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities, including states where our oil and gas exploration and production customers operate. States could also elect to place prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing and 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.

Induced seismicity. 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, with research suggesting that the link between seismic events and wastewater disposal may vary by region and local geology. The U.S. geological survey has in the recent past identified six states with the most significant hazards from induced seismicity: Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Arkansas. In response to these concerns, regulators in some of the states in which our oil and gas exploration and production customers operate have adopted additional requirements related to seismicity and its potential association with hydraulic fracturing. For example, 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 and Texas have also issued orders, from time to time, for certain wells where seismic incidents have occurred to restrict or suspend disposal well operations. In this regard, the Texas Railroad Commission has pursued several regulatory initiatives during the latter half of 2021 as a result of recent seismic activity in an area of the Midland Basin from northeast Ector County to southwest Martin County known as the Gardendale Seismic Response Area (“SRA”), including voluntary reductions in produced water disposals from injection wells in the Gardendale SRA, suspending injection operations of certain deep disposal wells within the Gardendale SRA, and suspending all disposal well permits to inject oil and gas waste into deep strata within the boundaries of the Gardendale SRA. In response to a December 31, 2021 earthquake approximately 25 miles northeast of Midland, Texas, the Texas Railroad Commission established the Stanton SRA in January 2022, resulting in a May 2022 Operator-Led Response Plan to coordinate future industry-led actions to reduce the seismic hazard in this SRA. In December 2023, the Northern Culberson-Reeves SRA was established, resulting in the suspension of 23 deep disposal permits in the area. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has similarly suspended certain deep disposal well operations in the recent past following earthquakes of certain magnitudes in Oklahoma. 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 or our customers conduct operations, there may exist similar governmental restrictions or controls over well disposal activities in an effort to limit the occurrence of induced seismicity.
Offshore marine safety. In the United States, President Biden previously placed a moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases on federal lands and waters, including the federal Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”). In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”) contains provisions requiring particular offshore oil and gas lease sales under the 2017 – 2022 leasing program to proceed and the DOI has reinstated or announced plans for those sales. In 2023, the DOI published a final offshore leasing program for 2024-2029. Although leasing has resumed, the areas offered for leasing in the 2024-2029 program are the smallest since federal offshore leasing for oil and gas development began. The Biden Administration may pursue further regulatory initiatives, executive actions and legislation in support of his regulatory agenda. Additionally, regulatory agencies under the Biden Administration may issue new or amended rulemakings regarding deepwater leasing, permitting or drilling that could result in more stringent or costly restrictions, delays or cancellations to our oil and gas exploration and production customers with respect to their offshore operations or significantly increase financial assurances of operators for decommissioning of offshore facilities on the OCS. Our customers compliance with such new, more stringent legal requirements may result in increased costs for our customers and could adversely affect, delay or curtail new or ongoing drilling and development efforts by our customers. Outside of the United States, there are countries and provincial, regional, tribal or local jurisdictions therein where our 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, which could significantly restrict, delay or cancel the leasing, permitting, development or expansion of an offshore energy project or substantially increase the cost of doing business offshore.
Ground-level ozone standards. In 2015, the EPA under the Obama Administration issued a final rule under the CAA, making the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“NAAQS”) for ground-level ozone more stringent. 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 and, more recently, in December 2020, the EPA (under the Trump Administration) published a final action that, upon conducting a periodic review of the ozone standard in accord with CAA requirements, elected to retain the 2015 ozone NAAQS without revision on a going-forward basis. However, several groups have filed litigation over this December 2020 decision, and the EPA’s consideration is still ongoing. State implementation of a 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.

Waters of the United States. There continues to be uncertainty on the federal government’s applicable jurisdictional reach under the Clean Water Act over waters of the United States, including wetlands as the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) under the Obama, Trump and Biden Administrations have pursued multiple rulemakings since 2015 in an attempt to determine the scope of such reach. Following legal actions on a 2020 rule, the EPA and the Corps announced a final rule (published in January 2023) defining “waters of the United States” according to the broader pre-2015 standards that includes updates to incorporate then-existing Supreme Court decisions. The January 2023 rule was subject to legal action, and is currently enjoined in 27 states. Subsequently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Sackett v. EPA, finding that the “continuous surface connection” test was the proper legal test to apply to wetlands to determine whether they are waters of the United States. The agencies published a rule in September 2023 to incorporate this decision, but did not define the term “continuous surface connection.” Further, the injunction on the January 2023 rule continues to apply. Therefore, implementation of the rule is currently split by jurisdiction: for the 27 states subject to the injunction, the agencies are implementing the pre-2015 rule and the changes made by the Sackett decision; in the remaining 23 states, the agencies are implementing their September 2023 rule. Therefore, the implementation of this rule and its impacts on the scope of the CWA remain uncertain at this time. To the extent that any action further expands the scope of the CWA’s jurisdiction in areas where our customers conduct operations, such developments could delay, restrict or halt permitting or development of projects, result in longer permitting timelines, or increased compliance expenditures or mitigation costs for our customers’ operations, which may reduce the rate of production from operators.
Climate change. In the United States, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented at the federal level. However, President Biden has made action on climate change a priority of his administration’s agenda, and certain federal laws, such as the IRA 2022, were enacted to advance numerous climate-related objectives. Moreover, 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, and impose new standards reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations through limitations on venting and flaring and the implementation of enhanced emission leak detection and repair requirements. In recent years, there has been considerable uncertainty surrounding regulation of methane emissions. While the Trump Administration took a number of actions to revise federal regulation of methane from the oil and natural gas sector, these actions were subsequently reversed by both the Biden Administration and Congress. In December 2023, the EPA published a final rule that established the so-called Quad Ob new source and Quad Oc first-time existing source standards of performance under applicable agency regulations established at 40 C.F.R. Part 60 for methane and volatile organic compound emissions for the crude oil and natural gas source category. Owners or operators of affected emission units or processes will have to comply with specific standards of performance that may include leak detecting using optical gas imaging and subsequent repair requirements, reduction of regulated emissions through capture and control systems, zero-emission requirements for certain equipment or processes, operations and maintenance requirements and requirements for “green well” completions. The rules also impose expanded inspection, monitoring and emissions control requirements on oil and gas sites, as well as strengthen requirements related to emissions from equipment and routine flaring, as well as establish a “Super Emitter Response Program” that would trigger certain operator investigation and repair requirements in response to emissions events exceeding 200 pounds per hour, as detected by regulatory authorities or qualified third parties. It is likely that the rule will be subject to legal challenges. As a result, we cannot predict the scope of any final methane regulatory requirements, or the expected cost to comply with such requirements, but any such increase in regulatory scope and oversight may increase compliance expenditures or mitigation costs for our or our customers’ operations. 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 greenhouse gas 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 requires nations to submit non-binding GHG emissions reduction goals every five years after 2020. President Biden recommitted the United States to the Paris Agreement and, in April 2021, announced a GHG emissions reduction goal for the United States of 50% to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030. In addition, the 26th Conference of the Parties (“COP26”), resulted in multiple announcements, including a call for parties to eliminate certain fossil fuel subsidies and pursue further action on non-carbon dioxide GHGs. Relatedly, the United States and European Union jointly announced at COP26 the launch of the Global Methane Pledge, an initiative which over 100 countries joined, committing to a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030, including “all feasible reductions” in the energy sector. These goals were reaffirmed at the 27th Conference of the Parties (“COP27”) in November 2022. At the 28th Conference of the Parties in December 2023 (“COP28”), the parties agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems and increase renewable energy capacity, though no timeline for doing so was set. While non-binding, the agreements coming out of COP28 could result in increased
-13-


pressure among financial institutions and various stakeholders to reduce or otherwise impose more stringent limitations on funding for and increase potential opposition to the production and use of fossil fuels. While the degree and manner in which countries may implement these voluntary international climate commitments is uncertain at this time, there is increasing political risk regarding climate change. In the United States, President Biden has issued several executive orders calling for more expansive action to address climate change and limit new oil and gas operations on federal lands or waters. See “Part I, Item 1. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters – Hydraulic fracturing” for more information. Other actions that may be pursued by the Biden Administration may include the imposition of more restrictive requirements for the establishment of pipeline infrastructure or the permitting of LNG export facilities, as well as more restrictive GHG emissions limitations for oil and gas facilities. Additionally, the IRA 2022 was signed into law in August 2022, which contains hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions. These incentives could further accelerate the transition of the U.S. economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or zero-carbon emissions alternatives. The IRA 2022 also imposes the first-ever federal fee on the emissions of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. The regulations to implement such a charge were proposed in January 2024 and will be subject to public comment. Litigation risks are also increasing, as a number of states, municipalities and other plaintiffs have sought to bring suit against oil and natural gas 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 or alleging that the companies have been aware of the adverse effects of climate change for some time but defrauded their investors or customers by failing to adequately disclose those impacts. Additionally, our access to capital may be impacted by climate change policies as stockholders and bondholders currently invested in carbon-intensive 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 carbon-intensive energy companies also have become more attentive to sustainable lending and investment practices that favor “clean” power sources such as wind and solar, making those sources more attractive, and some of them may elect not to provide funding for fossil fuel energy companies. Many of the largest U.S. banks have made “net zero” carbon emission commitments and have announced that they will be assessing their portfolios and taking steps to quantify and reduce funding to companies with carbon emissions. At COP26, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (“GFANZ”) announced that commitments from over 450 firms across 45 countries had resulted in over $130 trillion in capital committed to net zero goals. The various sub-alliance of GFANZ generally require participants to set short-term, sector-specific targets to transition their financing, investing, and/or underwriting activities to net zero by 2050. Additionally, there is the possibility that financial institutions will be pressured or required to adopt policies that limit funding for fossil fuel energy companies. President Biden signed an executive order calling for the development of a climate finance plan and, separately, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced that it has joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (“NGFS”), a consortium of financial regulators focused on addressing climate-related risks in the financial sector. More recently, in November 2021, the U.S. Federal Reserve issued a statement in support of the efforts of the NGFS to identify key issues and potential solutions for the climate-related challenges most relevant to central banks and supervisory authorities. In addition, the SEC has proposed a rule that would require registrants to make certain climate-related disclosures in registration statements and annual reports, including their governance of climate-related risks, material climate-related impacts on strategy, outlook and business model, climate risk management, Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and Scope 3 GHG emissions under certain circumstances, and if the registrant has set them, climate-related targets and goals. Several states have also enacted or are considering enhanced climate-related disclosure requirements. Such enhanced disclosure could increase our operating costs and may also lead to reputational or other harm with customers, regulators or other stakeholders. These changes could also increase our litigation risks relating to alleged climate-related damages resulting from our operations, statements alleged to have been made by us or others in our industry regarding climate-change risks, or in connection with any future disclosures we may make regarding reported emissions, particularly given the inherent uncertainties and estimation with respect to calculation and reporting GHG emissions. The SEC has also, from time to time, focused additional scrutiny on existing climate-change related disclosures in public filings, increasing the potential for enforcement if the SEC were to allege that an issuer’s existing climate disclosures were misleading or deficient. Such public and private sector efforts have made and may continue to make it more difficult for certain of our customers’ to secure financing for their projects, which in turn may reduce the demand for our products and services. Finally, increasing concentrations of GHG in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, floods, rising sea levels and other climatic events, as well as chronic shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns. For more information, see our risk factor titled “Climatic impacts could adversely impact our operations or those of our customers or suppliers.”

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.
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.
Business and Operating Risks
Demand for the majority of our products and services is substantially dependent on the levels of expenditures by companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry. Ongoing uncertainties related to future crude oil demand and the willingness of operators to invest in U.S. land-based drilling, completion and production activities given regulatory pressures has reduced the demand, and the prices we are able to charge, for our products and services. This has had and may in the future 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 capital expenditures invested in the oil and natural gas industry. Ongoing uncertainties related to future crude oil demand and the willingness of operators to invest in U.S. land-based drilling, completion and production activities given regulatory pressures have resulted in an oversupply of many of our services and products and reduced the prices we could charge our customers for these services and products. A worsening of these conditions may result in a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The level of capital expenditures by companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry could remain highly volatile and have adverse effects on our business and operations due to numerous factors, including:
worldwide demand for and supply of oil and natural gas;
crude oil and natural gas prices;
inflation in wages, materials, parts, equipment and other costs;
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;
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, suspend or cancel 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;
global weather conditions and natural disasters;
worldwide economic activity including growth in developing countries;
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;
stockholder activism or activities by non-governmental organizations to limit or cease certain sources of funding for the energy sector or restrict the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas;
the impact of military actions, including, but not limited to: energy market disruptions, supply chain disruptions and increased costs, government sanctions, and delays or potential cancellation of planned customer projects;
-15-


rapid technological change and the timing and extent of development of energy sources, including LNG as well as solar, wind and other renewable energy sources;
environmental and other governmental laws, regulations and executive actions; and
U.S. and foreign tax policies, including those regarding tariffs, duties and global minimum tax rates.
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 have an adverse effect on 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.
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 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 products and services, or to acquire additional business opportunities, which 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 is undergoing rapid consolidation, which 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. As a result, industry consolidation may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect industry consolidations may have on the pricing of our products and services, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customer and suppliers.
Disruption of our supply chain could adversely impact our ability to manufacture, transport and sell our products.
We and our suppliers use multiple forms of transportation to bring our products to market, including truck, ocean and air-cargo shipments. Disruption to the timely supply of raw materials, parts and finished goods or increases in the cost of transportation services, including due to general inflationary pressures, cost of fuel and labor, labor disputes, governmental regulation or governmental restrictions limiting specific forms of transportation, could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture, transport and sell our products, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
We might be unable to employ and retain a sufficient number of key personnel.
We believe that our success depends upon our ability to employ and retain key personnel with both technical and business expertise. 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 such personnel 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 skilled personnel to migrate to other industries. Other opportunities in our industry and market interest in ESG and alternative energy sources may also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain employees who may feel it necessary to exit our business in favor of such other opportunities. The loss of key personnel to competitors or companies in other industries could adversely affect us.
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
-16-


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 multi-national 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. Additionally, the development and commercialization of new products and services requires substantial 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.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by security threats, including cybersecurity threats and other disruptions.
Our information and operational technology systems, and those of our vendors, suppliers, customers and other business partners, may experience various security threats, including cybersecurity threats designed to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or to render data or systems unusable; threats to the safety of our employees, threats to our infrastructure, or third-party infrastructure; and terrorist attacks or related threats. Cybersecurity attacks in particular are evolving and have increased in frequency. Cybersecurity attacks are becoming more sophisticated and include, but are not limited to, ransomware attacks, credential stuffing, phishing, social engineering, use of deepfakes (i.e., highly realistic synthetic media generated by artificial intelligence) and other attempts to gain unauthorized access to data for purposes of extortion or other malfeasance. Although we devote resources to protect the systems and data we rely on in our business, our information and operational technology systems may still be subject to cyberattacks or security breaches, including as a result of employee error, malfeasance or other threat vectors. Any one of these threat vectors could lead to the corruption, loss, or disclosure of proprietary and sensitive data, misdirected wire transfers, and an inability to: perform services for our customers; complete or settle transactions; maintain our books and records; prevent environmental damage; and maintain communications or operations. While we utilize various procedures and controls to monitor these security threats and mitigate our exposure to such threats and other disruptions, there can be no assurance that these procedures and controls will be sufficient in preventing security threats from materializing. No security measure is infallible. If any of these events were to materialize, they would lead to the loss, disclosure, or hindrance of sensitive information (including our intellectual property, and employee and customer data), critical infrastructure, personnel or capabilities essential to our operations. In addition, a cyberattack or security breach could result in liability resulting from data privacy or cybersecurity claims, liquidated or other contractual damages, regulatory penalties, damage to our reputation, significant negative press coverage, long-lasting loss of confidence in us, or additional costs for remediation and modification or enhancement of our information systems to prevent future occurrences, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
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.
While no customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues in 2023, 2022 or 2021, 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 accounts receivables.
As a result of our industry 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. 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.
The ongoing military actions in Europe and the Middle East could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The ongoing military conflicts in Europe and the Middle East could cause market and other disruptions that could adversely affect us, such as: volatility in crude oil and natural gas prices, which can adversely affect demand for our products and services; further supply chain constraints and disruptions, or increased prices for certain raw materials and component parts, such as steel and forgings, that are used in products we manufacture and other products needed by our customers in connection with their ongoing operations; instability in financial markets; higher inflation; delays or cancellations of planned
-17-


projects by our customers due to rising costs; changes in currency rates; and increases in cyberattacks and espionage. In addition, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Such sanctions, and other measures, as well as existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, could exacerbate the foregoing risks. Any of these developments could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Climate events could adversely impact our operations or those of our customers or suppliers.
Severe weather events in the areas in which we or our customers or suppliers operate, such as hurricanes, floods and prolonged periods of cold weather, whether from climate change or otherwise, can cause disruptions and, in some cases, delays in, or suspension of, our operations and those of our customers or suppliers. Seasonal differences in weather in the areas in which we operate, most notably in the Rocky Mountain and Northeast regions of the United States, where severe winter weather conditions occur, can also restrict our operations and those of our customers or suppliers. In addition, summer and fall completion and 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.
Many forecasters also believe that potential climate changes may have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events, as well as chronic shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns, which could have an adverse effect on our or our customers’ or suppliers’ operations. These climatic developments have the potential to also cause physical damage to our assets or delays to our supply chains, which may have an adverse effect on our operations.
Any unusual or prolonged severe weather or increased frequency thereof in our or 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. Adverse climate events could also affect our third-party suppliers, which could limit their ability to provide us with the necessary products or raw materials to maintain operations of our facilities or services. 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. Additionally, changing meteorological conditions, particularly temperature, may result in changes to the amount, timing or location of demand for energy or the products our customer produce, which may impact demand for our products and services.
Our inability to control the inherent risks of identifying and integrating businesses that we have or may acquire, including any related increases in debt or issuances of equity securities, could adversely affect our operations.
From time to time, we review complementary acquisition opportunities and we may 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 have in the past and may in the future incur indebtedness to finance acquisitions and also may issue equity securities in connection with such acquisitions, which could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition and 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. However, these transactions, and the successful integration and operation of acquired businesses, involve numerous risks. 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 our stockholders may not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial, and other relevant information that we will consider in evaluating future acquisitions.
Financial Risks
We may be unable to access the capital and credit markets or borrow on affordable terms to obtain additional capital that we may require.
We rely on our liquidity to pay our operating and capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on debt, taxes and other similar costs. Historically, we have sought to finance the operation of our business primarily with cash on-hand and cash provided by operating activities, but we have also relied on the bank and capital markets. A recession or long-term market correction could negatively impact the value of our common stock, our access to capital or our liquidity or ability to generate cash from operations in the near and long-term. If we are unable to access the bank and capital markets on favorable terms, or if we are not successful in raising capital at an attractive cost within the time period required or at all, we may not be able to grow
-18-


or maintain our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about such events or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to acute or market-wide liquidity problems. In addition, if any of our customers, suppliers or other business counterparties are unable to access funds held by such a financial institution, such parties' ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected.
We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.
Inflation in wages, materials, parts, equipment and other costs has the potential to adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers for our products and services. In addition, the existence of inflation in the economy has and may continue to result in higher interest rates, which could result in higher borrowing costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates and other similar effects.
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.
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, if commodity prices decline, we may incur additional cancellations or experience material declines in our backlog.
We may assume contractual risks in developing, manufacturing and delivering products in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.
Many of our products from our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment are ordered by customers under frame agreements or project-specific contracts. In many 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 expected contract economics for various reasons, including but not limited to:
errors or omissions in estimates or bidding;
changes in availability and cost of materials and labor, including from price inflation and supply chain disruptions;
failures of our suppliers to deliver 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, there are other risks and liabilities associated with these contracts, such as consequential damages payable (generally as a result of our gross negligence or willful misconduct), unforeseen technical or logistical challenges in fulfilling the contracts, or warranty claims, any of which could result in our not being fully or properly compensated for the cost to develop, design, and manufacture the final product and resulting in a significant impact on our reported operating results as we progress towards completion of major jobs.

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.
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, 2023, goodwill and other intangible assets represented 8% and 15%, 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 (Offshore/Manufactured Products, Completion Services and Downhole Technologies) 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.
While no provisions for impairment were recognized during 2023, 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 as the result of many possible factors, including, but not limited to, increased or unanticipated competition, lack of technological development, reductions in customer capital spending plans, loss of key personnel or customers, adverse legal or regulatory judgment(s), future operating losses at a reporting unit, downward forecast revisions, or restructuring plans;
costs of equity or debt capital increase further;
laws, executive actions or regulatory initiatives are imposed, which significantly restrict, delay or otherwise reduce the drilling, completion and production of oil and natural gas wells;
U.S. and/or foreign income tax rates increase, or regulations change;
valuations for comparable public companies or comparable acquisition valuations deteriorate; or
our stock price experiences a sustained decline.
Legal or Regulatory Risks
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 and global minimum taxation regulations;
tariffs and duties on imported and exported goods;
-20-


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 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 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.
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 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.
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 segment operations include the licensing, storage and handling of explosive materials that are subject to regulation by the ATF and analogous state and international agencies. 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 any applicable existing or newly
-21-


established requirements, or the occurrence of an explosive incident, may also result in the loss of our ATF or analogous state and international license to store and handle explosives, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 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, fines and penalties imposed for failure to comply with applicable law, terrorist attacks or acts of war;
we may face difficulties obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage to the extent we do not meet the ESG-related conditions or requirements of our insurers;
the counterparties to our insurance contracts may pose credit risks; and
we may incur losses from interruption of our business or cybersecurity attacks that exceed our insurance coverage.
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 and proprietary rights relating to our FlexJoint®, Merlin®, Active Seat Gate Valves, Evolv® 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. 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. 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. 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, adversely affecting our competitive position.
In addition, 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 us 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.

Laws, regulations and other executive actions or 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 operations support many of our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers in such activities. There exists federal regulatory initiatives and various state laws and regulations that have increased, and have the potential to further increase, the regulatory burden imposed on hydraulic fracturing. Moreover, there also exists, under the Biden Administration, the potential for new or amended laws, regulations, executive actions and other regulatory initiatives that could impose more stringent restrictions on hydraulic fracturing, including potential restrictions on hydraulic fracturing on federal lands. The Biden Administration has taken several actions intended to suspend or limit oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters, though these actions have been subject to legal challenge. Additionally, the BLM has recently proposed rules to update the terms of federal oil and gas leases, including increasing the associated costs and fees. Moreover, further or different constraints may be adopted by the Biden Administration in the future, including but not limited to a delay in permitting procedures, which may reduce the desirability or viability of projects on federals lands or waters. See “Part I, Item 1. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters – Hydraulic Fracturing” for more discussion on these matters. The occurrence of any one or more of these developments with respect to hydraulic fracturing in areas where our oil and natural gas exploration and production customers operate could result in potentially significant added costs to comply with requirements relating to permitting, construction, financial assurance, monitoring, recordkeeping and/or plugging and abandonment. In addition, they could experience restrictions, delays or cancellations in the pursuit of production or development activities. Any of the foregoing could reduce demand for the products and services of one or more 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 restrictions, delays or cancellations in the permitting or pursuit of their operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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. In response, regulators in states in which our customers operate have adopted additional requirements related to seismicity and its potential association with hydraulic fracturing. See “Part I, Item 1. Business–Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters” for more discussion on these seismicity matters. The introduction of new environmental laws and regulations related to the disposal of wastes associated with the exploration or production of hydrocarbons could limit or prohibit the ability of our customers to utilize underground injection wells. As a result, our customers may have to limit disposal well volumes, disposal rates or locations and, in some instances those customers, or third-party disposal well operators that are used by those customers to dispose of the customers’ wastewater, may be obligated 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.
Imposition of laws, executive actions or regulatory initiatives to restrict, delay or cancel leasing, permitting or drilling activities in deepwaters of the United States or foreign countries 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 and in other countries. To a lesser extent, our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments also provide equipment and services to customers operating offshore in the deepwaters of the United States and in other countries. President Biden has issued an executive order that commits to substantial action on climate change, calling for, among other things, the elimination of subsidies provided to the fossil fuel industry and an increased emphasis on climate-related risks across government agencies and economic sectors. President Biden may pursue additional executive orders, new legislation and regulatory initiatives to further implement his
-23-


regulatory agenda beyond the IRA 2022. For example, on January 26, 2024, the Biden Administration announced a temporary pause pending Department of Energy review on decisions on new exports of LNG to countries with which the United States does not have free trade agreements. Additionally, regulatory agencies under the Biden Administration may issue new or amended rulemakings regarding deepwater leasing, permitting or drilling that could result in more stringent or costly restrictions, delays or cancellations in offshore oil and natural gas exploration and production activities, such as the Biden Administration’s suspension of the issuance of authorizations for oil and gas activities. See “Part I, Item 1. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters” for more discussion on deepwater regulatory matters.
Any new legislation, executive actions or regulatory initiatives, whether in the United States or in other countries, that impose increased costs, more stringent operational standards or result in significant delays, cancellations or disruptions in our customers’ operations, increase the risk of losing leasing or permitting opportunities, expired leases due to the time required to develop new technology, increased supplemental bonding costs, or cause our customers to incur penalties, fines, or shut-in production at one or more of their facilities, any or all of which could reduce demand for our products and services. 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, executive actions or regulatory initiatives on our customers’ drilling operations or the opportunity to pursue such 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.
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
Our operations and those of our customers in the United States and in foreign countries are subject to stringent federal, state and local legal requirements governing environmental protection. These requirements may take the form of laws, regulations, executive actions and various other legal initiatives. See “Part I, Item 1. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters” for more discussion on these matters.
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 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, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 wastewater 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 Offshore Manufactured Products, Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies business segments. In addition, the OSHA 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 are also subject to OSHA Process Safety Management regulations, which are designed
-24-


to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. See “Part I. Item I. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters” for more discussion on these matters.
We have incurred and will continue to incur operating and capital expenditures to comply with occupational health and safety laws and regulations. Historically these 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, financial condition and results of operation.
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. See “Part I, Item 1. Business – Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters” for more discussion on these risks.
The adoption and implementation of new or more stringent international, federal or state executive actions, legislation, regulations or 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 result in increased costs of compliance or costs of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for oil and natural gas, which could reduce demand for our services and products. Additionally, political, financial, reputational 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. Moreover, the increased competitiveness of alternative energy sources (such as wind, solar, geothermal, tidal and biofuels), and government grants, incentives and subsidies such as those contained in the IRA 2022, could reduce demand for hydrocarbons, and therefore demand for our products and services, which would have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
The ESA, 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 ESA and comparable state laws were established to protect endangered and threatened species. Under the ESA, 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 (“MBTA”). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) under former President Trump issued a final rule on January 7, 2021, which notably clarifies that criminal liability under the MBTA will apply only to actions “directed at” migratory birds, their nests, or their eggs; however, in October 2021, the FWS under the Biden Administration revoked the Trump Administration’s rule on incidental take and published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking to codify a general prohibition on incidental take while establishing a process to regulate or permit exceptions to such a prohibition. Oil and natural gas operations in our operating areas may be adversely affected by seasonal or permanent restrictions on drilling and completion 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 and completion activities in certain areas or require the implementation of expensive mitigation measures.
Moreover, the FWS may make determinations on the listing of numerous species as endangered or threatened under the ESA. For example, the FWS recently published a rule listing two distinct population segments of the lesser prairie-chicken under the ESA, a species found in some states where we operate, including Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. The dunes sagebrush lizard, located in west Texas and New Mexico, has also recently been proposed for listing as endangered under the ESA. Further, agencies may also enact protections related to critical habitats of listed species, which require federal agencies to ensure their actions are not likely to destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat. For example, in September 2023 the National Marine Fisheries Service proposed to designate certain waters in the Gulf of Mexico as critical habitat for the Rice’s whale under the ESA. The designation of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species or their critical habitats
-25-


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.
Increasing attention to ESG matters may impact our business.
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny from stakeholders related to their ESG practices. Companies which do not adapt to or comply with investor or stakeholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or which are perceived to have not responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, may suffer from reputational damage and the business, financial condition, and/or stock price of such a company could be materially and adversely affected. Increasing attention to climate change, increasing societal expectations on companies to address climate change, and potential consumer use of substitutes to energy commodities may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our customers’ hydrocarbon products and our products and services, reduced profits, increased investigations and litigation, and negative impacts on our stock price and access to capital markets, or ability to attract and retain a talented workforce. Increasing attention to climate change, for example, may result in demand shifts for our customers’ hydrocarbon products and additional governmental investigations and private litigation against those customers.
Our Board’s Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for overseeing and managing our ESG initiatives. Committee members review the implementation and effectiveness of our ESG programs and policies. During 2023, we have sought to strengthen our ESG performance through certain voluntary operational strategies, including, for example (i) pursuing a goal to reduce GHG emissions generated by us; (ii) seeking to co-locate certain of our facilities and common processes, where feasible, to minimize our GHG emission impacts; (iii) pursuing the implementation of alternative energy systems (for example, solar power) at certain of our facilities, where applicable; (iv) seeking to identify and select low-impact energy providers, where geographically available; (v) evaluating the addition of an onboard system for our trucks that would link to integral vehicle systems to reduce vehicle idling time on work locations; and (vi) purchasing alternative fueled vehicles to reduce carbon-based emissions and improved technology offerings, as fleet replacements occur from time to time, among others. Despite our governance, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement any of the opportunities we may review or explore, or, for any opportunities we do choose to implement, to implement them within a specific timeframe or across all operational assets. Moreover, we note that even with our governance oversight in place, we may not be able to adequately identify or manage ESG-related risks and opportunities, which may include failing to achieve ESG-related strategies and goals. Also, despite these aspirational goals, we may receive pressure from investors, lenders or other groups to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related goals, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to implement such goals because of changes in activity levels, potential costs or technical or operational obstacles. In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Currently, there are no universal standards for such scores or ratings, but the importance of sustainability evaluations is becoming more broadly accepted by investors and stockholders. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Additionally, certain investors use these scores to benchmark companies against their peers and if a company is perceived as lagging, these investors may engage with companies to require improved ESG disclosure or performance. Moreover, certain members of the broader investment community may consider a company’s sustainability score as a reputational or other factor in making an investment decision. Consequently, a low sustainability score could result in exclusion of our stock from consideration by certain investment funds, engagement by investors seeking to improve such scores and a negative perception of our operations by certain investors.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy and could impose new costs on our customers’ operations.
In August 2022, President Biden signed the IRA 2022 into law. The IRA 2022 contains hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration, amongst other provisions. These incentives could further accelerate the transition of the economy away from the use of fossil fuels towards lower- or zero-carbon emissions alternatives, which could decrease demand for oil and gas and consequently adversely affect the business of our customers, thereby reducing demand for our products and services. In addition, the IRA 2022 imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of greenhouse gases through a methane emissions charge. The IRA 2022 amends the federal CAA to impose a fee on the emission of methane from sources required to report their GHG emissions to the EPA, including those sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. The methane emissions charge starts in 2024 at $900 per ton of methane, increases to $1,200 in 2025, and increases to $1,500 for 2026 and each year after. Regulations to implement the methane emissions charge were proposed in January 2024 and are subject to public comment. Calculation of the fee is based on certain thresholds established in the IRA 2022. The methane emissions charge could increase our customers’ operating costs and adversely affect their businesses, thereby reducing demand for our products and services.

Changes to applicable tax laws and regulations may result in our incurring additional income tax liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to various complex and evolving U.S. federal, state and local and foreign taxes. U.S. federal, state and local and foreign tax laws, policies, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be implemented, interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, in each case, possibly with retroactive effect. For example, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, an international association of 38 countries that includes the United States, has adopted a set of international tax model rules known as the “Pillar Two” framework, a central component of which is the imposition of a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. Once we reach the Pillar Two applicable revenue thresholds, which we expect to occur no earlier than 2026, the Pillar Two rules could increase tax compliance complexity and uncertainty and result in additional administrative costs and income tax liabilities in those taxing jurisdictions where we operate that have implemented Pillar Two rules. Further, absent U.S. congressional action, the U.S. federal tax rate applicable to certain income earned by our non-U.S. subsidiaries will increase for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and certain taxpayer beneficial provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will expire. All of the above contemplated and non-contemplated changes in the applicable tax rules may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We are subject to numerous cybersecurity threats which could result in equipment or network failures, loss of information (including sensitive personal information of customers or employees or proprietary information) as well as disruptions to our or our customers’, suppliers’ or vendors’ operations. Cybersecurity risks we face include threats from entities and persons that may seek to target our information technology (“IT”) infrastructure or use malware, computer viruses, denial of services attacks, ransomware attacks, credential harvesting, social engineering and other means to obtain unauthorized access to or disrupt the operation of our networks, systems and those of our suppliers, vendors and other service providers. In addition, we may face cyber threats from parties that seek to target us through our customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders with whom we do business. Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex, increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them.
Risk Management Process
We strive to follow the guidelines set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework to manage information assets, protect sensitive data and mitigate security risks. To address risks from cybersecurity threats, we maintain an information security team, automated monitoring and detection services, and policies and procedures for managing risk to our information systems. As part of our information security program, our operations strive to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity threat risks by:
identifying cybersecurity threats and critical information assets;
implementing cybersecurity prevention, detection and response controls;
incorporating cyber risk assessment practices into program activities; and
integrating cyber risk management into our business risk governance practices.
Additionally, we periodically review and update our cybersecurity policies, procedures, practices, and response plans considering evolving threats, changes in federal government compliance standards, and emerging commercial best practices, as applicable. We conduct employee training programs on cybersecurity as part of our efforts to mitigate persistent and continuously evolving cybersecurity threats. We have implemented processes requiring that material cybersecurity events, or losses of customer or personal data, are reported to affected parties, applicable regulatory authorities and management, as appropriate.
The above cybersecurity risk management processes are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management process.
Governance
Management is responsible for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Board is responsible for risk oversight and utilizes an enterprise risk management process to assist in fulfilling its oversight
-27-


responsibilities. The Board has delegated responsibility for overseeing the monitoring and assessment of risks related to cybersecurity to the Audit Committee.
We monitor the effectiveness of our information security program in protecting information assets and sensitive data, and mitigating security risks by periodically performing both internal and external audits, leveraging third-party commercial tools for assessing cybersecurity health, monitoring and addressing newly defined security vulnerabilities, and conducting annual third-party cyber penetration testing. Such tests are designed to emulate techniques used by advanced cyber threat adversaries. We also recognize that third-party service providers may introduce cybersecurity risks and, in an effort to mitigate these risks, we have sought to implement a process to assess and oversee the cybersecurity practices of third-party service providers. Before engaging with a third-party service provider, we conduct due diligence to evaluate their cybersecurity capabilities. Additionally, we endeavor to include cybersecurity requirements in our contracts with third-party service providers and endeavor to require them to adhere to specific security standards and protocols.
Our Chief Information Officer is responsible for timely informing management regarding cybersecurity incidents, including prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation activities. Our Chief Information Officer and Director of Cybersecurity communicate at least annually with the Board on matters such as data protection and cybersecurity. We maintain cybersecurity incident response plans, which address defined actions to be taken in response to cyber incidents. In the event of a material cybersecurity incident, the Chief Information Officer must notify both management and the Board.
Impact of Risks from Cybersecurity Threats
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any previous cybersecurity incidents or current cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us. Despite the cybersecurity and risk management measures that we have implemented and any additional measures we may implement or adopt in the future, our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party service providers, have been and are vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, scams, burglary, human errors, acts of vandalism, misdirected wire transfers, or other malicious or criminal activities. These threats and incidents originate from a variety of sources, including hackers, cybercriminals, nation-states, insiders, or other third parties. These threats and incidents target our network, our operational technology or other systems, our data and information, our employees, our customers, our partners, or our third-party service providers and vendors. Some of our third-party service providers have experienced security breaches. Should we be unable to successfully detect and defend against cybersecurity threats in the future, we may experience significant expenses, potential investigations and legal liability, liquidated contractual damages, a loss of current or future customers, and reputational damage. See “Risk Factors” for additional information about the risks to our business associated with a breach or compromise to our IT systems.

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 should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing in “Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K generally discusses 2023 and 2022 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2023 and 2022. Discussions of 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K can be found in “Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion 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 our 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 in order to understand factors, such as business combinations, charges and credit and financing transactions, which may impact comparability from period to period.
We provide a broad range of manufactured products and services to customers in the energy, industrial and military sectors through our Offshore/Manufactured Products, Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies 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, making demand for our products and services sensitive to expectations regarding future crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as economic growth, commodity demand and estimates of resource production and regulatory pressures related to ESG considerations.

On February 9, 2024, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices closed at $83.58 per barrel, $77.26 per barrel and $1.74 per MMBtu, respectively. Additionally, the U.S. drilling rig count reported on February 9, 2024 was 623 rigs – comparable to the fourth quarter 2023 average.
In February 2023, we repaid the $17.3 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, outstanding under our 2023 Notes. Additionally, our Board authorized a $25.0 million stock repurchase plan, which extends through February 2025. During 2023, $6.9 million of share repurchases were made under this authorization. On February 16, 2024, we amended our ABL Facility to extend its maturity date from February 10, 2025 to February 16, 2028.
Overview
Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude oil and natural gas and inflationary cost increases, along with expectations regarding the regulatory environment in the regions in which we operate, are factors that will continue to influence our customers’ willingness to invest capital in their businesses. 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.
Crude oil prices and levels of demand for crude oil are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including: geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, along with associated international tensions; the perceived risk of a global economic recession; domestic or international crude oil production; changes in governmental rules and regulations; sanctions; the willingness of operators to invest capital in the exploration for and development of resources; use of alternative fuels; improved vehicle fuel efficiency; timing of capital investments in alternative energy sources; a more sustained movement to electric vehicles; and the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances.
U.S. drilling, completion and production activity and, in turn, our financial results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of our U.S. operations.
Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has moderated over the last ten years due to technological advancements that have led to significant amounts of natural gas being produced from prolific basins in the Northeastern United States and from associated gas produced from the drilling and completion of unconventional oil wells in the United States.
Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and natural gas production systems and facilities globally, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. This segment also produces a variety of products for use in industrial, military and other applications outside the traditional energy industry. Additionally, we are investing in research and product development related to, and have been awarded select contracts and are bidding on additional projects that facilitate, the development of alternative energy sources, including offshore wind and deepsea mineral gathering opportunities. This segment is particularly influenced by global spending on deepwater drilling and production, which is primarily driven by our customers’ longer-term commodity demand forecasts and outlook for crude oil and natural gas prices. Approximately 69% of Offshore/Manufactured Products segment sales in 2023 were driven by our customers’ capital spending for products and services used in exploratory and developmental drilling, greenfield offshore production infrastructure, and subsea pipeline tie-in and repair
-32-


system applications, along with upgraded equipment for existing offshore drilling rigs and other vessels (referred to herein as “project-driven products and services”). Deepwater oil 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 and state-run national oil companies) 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 generally less susceptible to change based on short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas.
Backlog reported by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment increased to $333 million as of December 31, 2023 from $308 million as of December 31, 2022. Bookings totaled $472 million in 2023, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x. The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

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 internationally. 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. We primarily supply equipment and service personnel utilized in the completion of, and initial production from, new and recompleted wells in our U.S. operations, which are dependent primarily upon the level and complexity of drilling, completion and workover activity in our areas of operations. Well intensity and complexity have 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.
Our Downhole Technologies 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 frac plug and toe valve 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 completion-related products and services within each of our segments 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 U.S. drilling rig count, as measured by Baker Hughes Company, as of and for the periods indicated.

The U.S. energy industry is primarily focused 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, 2023, oil-directed drilling accounted for 80% of the total U.S. rig count – with the balance largely natural gas related.
We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. The United States has 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. In addition, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,
-33-


governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. The effect of these sanctions and 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 and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows 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 (including disruptions in the banking sector); competitive pricing pressures; public health crises; natural disasters; labor market constraints; supply chain disruptions; inflation in wages, materials, parts, equipment and other costs; climate-related and other regulatory changes; geopolitical conflicts and tensions; 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, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022
We reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $12.9 million, or $0.20 per share, which included facility consolidation charges of $2.5 million ($2.0 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) and patent defense costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share). These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $9.5 million, or $0.15 per share, which included a gain of $6.1 million ($4.6 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share) recognized in connection with the settlement of a litigation matter.
Increased capital investments by our offshore and international customers, together with our internal cost control and strict capital discipline measures and other corporate actions, resulted in improvements in our consolidated results in 2023. The favorable impact of continued growth in offshore and international project activity and associated backlog conversion was partially offset by the impact of an industry-wide decline in U.S. well completions (the U.S. year-end rig count declined 20% from December 2022) – triggered by weaker commodity prices.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2023 increased $44.6 million, or 6%, from 2022.
Consolidated product revenues in 2023 increased $33.0 million, or 9%, from 2022, driven primarily by higher customer demand for project-driven production facility and connector products. Consolidated service revenues in 2023 increased $11.6 million, or 3%, from 2022 due primarily to increased customer project spending internationally.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) increased $28.3 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022.
Consolidated product costs in 2023 increased $21.4 million, or 7%, compared to 2022 due primarily to the reported revenue growth as well as higher material, transportation, labor and other costs. Consolidated service costs in 2023 increased $6.9 million, or 3%, compared to 2022, due primarily to the impact of higher revenue levels and increased labor and other costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $94.2 million in 2023, which included $0.6 million of legal and other costs associated with enforcing certain of our patents. Excluding these patent defense costs, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, from 2022, due primarily to reductions in short-term incentive and bad debt expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.6 million, or 10%, in 2023 compared to the prior-year period, due to certain intangible assets reaching the end of their economic life coupled with reduced capital investments made in our Well Site Services segment in recent years. Note 14, “Segments and Related Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.

Other Operating Income, Net. In 2023, other operating income, net included gains on disposals of assets totaling $4.1 million, partially offset by charges of $2.5 million recognized in connection with our ongoing consolidation of certain manufacturing and service locations within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. Other operating income, net for 2022 included a gain of $6.1 million recognized in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation against certain service providers within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.
Operating Income. Our consolidated operating income was $23.2 million in 2023, which included the $2.5 million in facility consolidation charges reported within other operating income, net and the $0.6 million in patent defense costs reported within selling, general and administrative expense. This compares to a consolidated operating income of $2.9 million in 2022, which included the $6.1 million gain (discussed above) recognized within other operating income, net. Excluding these charges and prior-year litigation gain, operating income increased $29.4 million year-over-year.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense totaled $8.2 million in 2023, which compares to $10.3 million in 2022. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 7% in 2023, compared to 6% in 2022.
Income Tax. For 2023, our income tax provision was $2.9 million on pre-tax income of $15.8 million, which included certain non-deductible expenses, discrete tax items and reductions in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets. This compares to an income tax provision of $5.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million for 2022, which included certain non-deductible expenses and discrete tax items.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of reported net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income was $9.0 million in 2023 compared to a comprehensive loss of $12.9 million in 2022 due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our operating segments. For 2023 and 2022, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 2023, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. In 2022, the exchange rate for the British pound weakened compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Segment Operating Results
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $59.5 million, or 16%, in 2023 compared to 2022 due primarily to increased demand for international and offshore-project driven products and services.
Operating Income. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $65.3 million in 2023, which included the $2.5 million in facility consolidation charges. This compares to operating income of $45.3 million in 2022, which included a $6.1 million gain recognized in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation. Excluding the facility consolidation charges and prior-year litigation gain, operating income increased $28.6 million year-over-year due primarily to the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment’s reported revenue growth and lower bad debt expense, partially offset by the impact of higher material, transportation, labor and other costs.
Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment totaled $333 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $308 million as of December 31, 2022. Bookings during 2023 totaled $472 million, yielding a year-to-date book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x.
Well Site Services
Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $11.4 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022, driven primarily by higher U.S. customer activity levels during the first half of 2023.
Operating Income. Our Well Site Services segment reported operating income of $13.9 million in 2023, compared to operating income of $4.9 million in 2022. Excluding the 2023 patent defense costs, the Well Site Services segment’s operating results improved $9.6 million from the prior-year period, due to the reported revenue growth and a $3.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increased labor, material and other costs.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $26.4 million, or 21%, in 2023 from 2022 due primarily to lower U.S. customer demand for perforating and completion products.
-38-


Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $14.9 million in 2023, compared to an operating loss of $6.7 million reported in 2022. This year-over-year increase in operating loss is due primarily to the reported decrease in the Downhole Technologies segment’s revenue, $1.1 million in incremental non-cash provisions for excess and obsolete inventory as well as higher labor, material and other costs.
Corporate
Operating Loss. Corporate expenses in 2023 increased $0.6 million, or 1%, from 2022, with the impact of higher personnel and marketing costs partially offset by lower short-term incentive and professional service expenses.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund operating and capital expenditures, new product development and general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to fund strategic business acquisitions, repay debt and fund share repurchases. Our primary sources of funds are cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under our credit facilities and, less frequently, capital markets transactions.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations totaled $56.6 million during 2023, compared to $32.9 million provided by operations during 2022.
During 2023, $21.0 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to increases in inventories as well as decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. During 2022, $34.7 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during 2023 totaled $25.6 million, compared to $22.7 million used in investing activities during 2022.
Capital expenditures totaled $30.7 million and $20.3 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively. These investments were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $5.3 million and $5.9 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In 2022, we acquired E-Flow Control Holdings Limited, a global provider of fully integrated handling, control, monitoring and instrumentation solutions. The purchase price of $8.1 million (net of cash acquired) was funded with cash on-hand.
Within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, we completed the consolidation of certain facilities in Houston, Texas during 2023 and are in the process of strategically relocating our Asian manufacturing and service operations from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. With these consolidations, two facilities are classified as held-for-sale assets within prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2023.
Including the planned construction of a new facility in Batam, we expect to invest approximately $40 million in capital expenditures during 2024. In 2024, we also expect to sell the two held-for-sale facilities (in Singapore and Houston), with expected proceeds ranging between $35 million and $40 million. We plan to fund our capital expenditures with available cash, internally generated funds and, if necessary, borrowings under our ABL Facility discussed below.
Financing Activities
During 2023, net cash of $26.7 million was used in financing activities, which included the repayment of the $17.3 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes and the repurchases of $6.9 million of our common stock. This compares to $20.3 million of cash used in financing activities during 2022, which included a cash payment of $10.0 million related to the settlement of a promissory note to the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. (discussed below) and the purchase of $8.7 million principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes.
On June 28, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement with the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. (acquired in 2018), which provided for the full and final settlement of all amounts due under a promissory note to the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on July 1, 2022, we paid the seller $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $47.1 million, which compared to $42.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes (as defined below) outstanding and other debt of $3.1 million. Our reported interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million during 2023. For 2023, our contractual cash interest expense was $7.8 million, or approximately 5% of the average principal balance of debt outstanding.

We believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity available under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional capital. 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 banking and financial markets, stakeholder scrutiny of ESG matters and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In this regard, the effect of multiple U.S. bank failures in 2023 resulted in significant disruptions to global banking and financial markets. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, these disruptions negatively impacted the value of our common stock and may reduce our ability to access capital in the bank and capital markets or result in such capital being available on less favorable terms, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity.
On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related information and risks. A final rule is expected to be released in the first half of 2024, but we cannot predict the final form and substance of the rule and its requirements at this time. The ultimate impact on our business is uncertain but, upon finalization, we and our customers may incur increased compliance costs related to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks. We may also face increased litigation risks related to disclosures made pursuant to the rule if finalized as proposed. In addition, enhanced climate disclosure requirements could accelerate the trend of certain stakeholders and lenders in restricting access to capital or seeking more stringent conditions with respect to their investments in us, our customers and other companies like ours that support the energy industry. For more information on our risks related to climate change, see the risk factors in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled, “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 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy and could impose new costs on our customers’ operations” and “Increasing attention to ESG matters may impact our business.”
Stock Repurchase Program. On February 16, 2023, the Board authorized $25.0 million for the repurchases of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, through February 2025. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2023, $6.9 million of share repurchases have been made under this authorization.
Revolving Credit Facility. On February 10, 2021, we entered into a senior secured credit facility, which provides for a $125.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL Facility”) under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation. On February 16, 2024, we amended the ABL Facility to extend the maturity date to February 16, 2028.
The ABL Facility is governed by a credit agreement, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “ABL Agreement”). The ABL Agreement, as amended, matures on February 16, 2028 with a springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of any outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $17.5 million. 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 ABL Agreement.
As of December 31, 2023, we had $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, but no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Agreement. The total amount available to be drawn as of December 31, 2023 was $76.1 million, calculated based on the then-current borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit.
2026 Notes. We issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “2026 Indenture”), between us and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee. The 2026 Notes will mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The 2026 Indenture contains certain events of default, including certain defaults by us with respect to other indebtedness of at least $40.0 million. 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 2026 Notes. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the 2026 Notes, had been met.
2023 Notes. On February 15, 2023, our 2023 Notes matured and the outstanding $17.3 million in principal amount was repaid in full.
Our total debt represented 16% and 18% of our combined total debt and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Contractual Obligations. As discussed above, we believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. The following summarizes our more significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2023, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

Contingencies and Other Obligations. We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters.
See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Availability and Cost of Products. We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. The United States has 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 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 as a result of tariffs, supply chain disruptions or other events, or if the prices we have to pay for these products increase and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows 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.
Tax Matters. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 10, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information with respect to tax matters.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of December 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
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 we 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 our 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.

Revenue and Cost Recognition
Our revenue contracts may include one or more promises to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, which is referred to 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.
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%, 35% and 35% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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%, 65% and 65% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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. We believe 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.
Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
Our long-lived tangible assets totaled $302.4 million, representing 29% of our total assets as of December 31, 2023, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $153.0 million, representing 15% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.
-43-


An assessment for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is conducted at the asset group level whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset group may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. 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 amount of impairment is determined based on the excess of carrying value over fair value of the asset group, using quoted market prices, if available, or our judgment as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their estimated useful lives.
With the decline in operating results reported by the Downhole Technologies segment in 2023, we assessed the carrying value of the segment’s long-lived tangible and intangible assets by comparing management’s estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. This assessment indicated that the segment’s long-lived assets were recoverable. No other indicators of impairment were identified in 2023 that would indicate that the carrying values of our other long-lived tangible and intangible assets were not recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment losses were recorded. However, management actions, competitive market conditions or industry cyclicality and downturns may result in future changes to our estimates of projected cash flows, or their timing, and could potentially cause future impairment to the values of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. We believe 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 losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency 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, 2023, we had no floating-rate obligations outstanding under our ABL Facility. The use of floating-rate obligations would expose us to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.
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 2023, our reported foreign currency exchange losses were $0.8 million and are included in “other operating income, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, primarily relates to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar as used to translate certain of the international operations of our operating segments. Our accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $9.0 million from $78.9 million as of December 31, 2022 to $70.0 million as of December 31, 2023, due to changes in currency exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened by 6% and 8%, respectively, compared to the U.S. dollar.

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, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level.
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, 2023 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, 2023, our 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, 2023 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, our independent registered public accounting firm, on our internal control over financial reporting is set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K on page 55 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, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, no director or executive officer adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as each is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) related to securities of our company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the 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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with 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, 2023, 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, 2024 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.

Product revenues recognized over-time on project-driven contracts
Description of the Matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes product revenue over time for certain project-driven contracts using an input method such as the percentage of costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion for each contract (cost-to-cost method).
Auditing management’s calculation of product revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost method was complex and subjective due to the significant estimation required in determining the estimated costs remaining on the project. In particular, the estimates of remaining costs associated with materials and labor are sensitive and may be impacted by factors outside of the Company’s control.

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 process for recognizing product revenues over-time on project-driven contracts, including management’s review of the estimated costs to complete and associated revenues.
To test the Company’s estimate of the progress towards completion of its projects, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, testing the significant assumptions discussed above to develop the estimated cost to complete and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data. To assess management’s estimated costs, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, agreeing the estimates to supporting documentation; conducting interviews with project personnel; observing selected project review meetings; performing observations of select projects to observe progress; and performing lookback analyses to historical actual costs to assess management’s ability to estimate.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the 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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes, and our report dated February 21, 2024 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.

The presentation of certain prior-year amounts in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been conformed to the current-year presentation.
The Company operates through three business segments – Offshore/Manufactured Products, Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies – and, through its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of specialty products and services to oil and gas and industrial companies around the world. The Company operates in a substantial number of the world’s active resource intensive regions, including: onshore and offshore United States, West Africa, the North Sea, the Middle East, South America and Southeast and Central Asia.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue and income recognized over time, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets, reserves on inventory, allowances for doubtful accounts, settlement of litigation 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 classified as cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, payables and debt instruments. The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments, other than the 2026 Notes (as defined below), on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes as of December 31, 2023 was $136.3 million based on quoted market prices (a Level 2 fair value measurement), which compares to the principal amount of $135.0 million.
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. 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, condition, expected near-term utility and market pricing of the goods.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded 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 a finance lease, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after allowing for estimated salvage value where applicable. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

(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
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price for acquired businesses over the allocated fair value of related net assets, reduced by historical impairments. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather assesses goodwill for impairment annually (as of December 1) and when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Following the goodwill impairments recognized by the Company in 2020, only the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment has remaining goodwill. The Company’s December 1, 2023 qualitative assessment identified no events or changes in circumstances which indicated that, more likely than not, the $79.9 million carrying value of goodwill on the balance sheet of the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment was recoverable. The Company’s December 1, 2022 and 2021 quantitative assessments of goodwill for impairment indicated that the fair value of the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount at each date and no impairments were required in either period.
When a quantitative assessment of goodwill is necessary, each reporting unit with goodwill on its balance sheet is assessed separately using relevant events and circumstances. 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 based on the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company amortizes the cost of long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, over their estimated useful life. The recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets is assessed at the asset group level 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 undiscounted future cash flows. If this assessment indicates that the carrying values will not be recoverable, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset group is recognized. 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 5, “Details of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts,” and Note 8, “Operating Leases,” the Company recognized non-cash asset impairment charges totaling $4.2 million in 2021 to reduce the carrying value of certain equipment and facilities (owned and leased) to their estimated realizable value. No additional impairment losses were recorded during 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. 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. 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.

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 lives 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 expenses totaled $4.5 million, $3.5 million and $4.4 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are reported within cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Loss
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, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward purchase contracts.
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, net” as incurred and were not material during the periods presented.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
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 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%, 35% and 35% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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%, 65% and 65% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 consumes the services. In addition, the Company manufactures certain products to individual customer
-63-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
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 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.
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.
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.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $216.8 million of remaining backlog related to contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Approximately 54% of this remaining backlog is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2024 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 of December 31, 2023, the Company’s total investment in foreign subsidiaries (except for its Canadian and Cyprus operations) is considered to be permanently 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 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to valuation allowances primarily with respect to foreign and U.S. state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards as well as U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves assessing uncertainties regarding the application of complex tax regulations. 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,
-64-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. 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 14, “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 significant customers’ financial condition and, generally, the Company does not require significant collateral from its customers.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. Determination of the collectability of amounts due from customers requires management to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for doubtful accounts are established through an assessment of the Company’s portfolio on an individual customer and consolidated 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 customer accounts, and financial condition of the Company’s customers as well as political and economic factors in countries of operations and other customer-specific factors. Based on a review of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts allowances for trade and unbilled receivables as well as contract assets. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate further, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If a customer receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, the receivable is charged-off against allowance for doubtful accounts.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) 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 in the numerator excludes the impact, if any, of dilutive common stock equivalents.
Diluted EPS includes 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 EPS 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 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.
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 Compensation.” 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. Performance-based award expense, and ultimate vesting, is recognized in an amount that depends on the Company’s probable 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, 2023, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these guarantee agreements (letters of credit) was $15.2 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 and contractual claims and obligations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. 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 August 2020, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity (referred to as “ASU 2020-06”). This guidance eliminated the requirement that the carrying value of convertible debt instruments, such as the Company’s 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), be allocated between debt and equity components. As permitted under the standard, the Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective transition method. Adoption of the standard resulted in a $12.2 million increase in the net carrying value of the 2023 Notes, a $2.7 million decrease in deferred income taxes and a $9.5 million net decrease in stockholders’ equity. The effective interest rate associated with the 2023 Notes after adoption decreased from approximately 6% to approximately 2%, which compares to the contractual interest rate of 1.50%. As further discussed in Note 7, “Long-term Debt,” the 2023 Notes matured and were repaid in full on February 15, 2023.
3.    Acquisition
On April 14, 2022, the Company acquired E-Flow Control Holdings Limited (“E-Flow”), a U.K.-based global provider of fully integrated handling, control, monitoring and instrumentation solutions. The purchase price of $8.1 million (net of cash acquired) was funded with cash-on-hand. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company may be entitled to indemnification for certain matters occurring prior to the acquisition.
The E-Flow transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, based on the Company’s estimates of the fair value of assets acquired (primarily long-lived intangible assets and goodwill) and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. E-Flow’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and have been reported within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment subsequent to the closing of the acquisition.

As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable, net in the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore represented 66%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of the total. No other country or single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023. A summary of activity in allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is provided in Note 16, “Valuation Allowances.”
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, 2023 and 2022 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, 2023, the $4.1 million net increase in contract assets was primarily attributable to $44.3 million in revenue recognized during the period, which was partially offset by $40.2 million transferred to accounts receivable. Deferred revenue (contract liabilities) decreased by $8.0 million in 2023, primarily reflecting the recognition of $17.6 million of revenue that was deferred at the beginning of the period, partially offset by $9.3 million in new customer billings which were not recognized as revenue during the period.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the $2.8 million net increase in contract assets was primarily attributable to $34.8 million in revenue recognized during the year, which was partially offset by $31.7 million transferred to accounts receivable. Deferred revenue (contract liabilities) increased by $1.6 million in 2022, primarily reflecting $19.0 million in new customer billings which were not recognized as revenue during the year, partially offset by the recognition of $17.2 million of revenue that was deferred at the beginning of the period.

Revolving Credit Facility
On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility, which provides for a $125.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL Facility”), under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation.
The ABL Facility is governed by a credit agreement, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “ABL Agreement”). On February 16, 2024, the Company amended the ABL Facility to extend the maturity date to February 16, 2028 with a springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of any outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $17.5 million.
The ABL Agreement provides funding based on a borrowing base calculation that includes eligible U.S. customer accounts receivable and inventory and provides for a $50.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the ABL Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets (other than real property) and the stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.
Since December 13, 2022, borrowings under the ABL Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (subject to a floor rate of 0%) plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.25%, or at a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, in each case based on average borrowing availability. Quarterly, the Company must also pay a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on unused commitments under the ABL Agreement.
The ABL Agreement places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, pay dividends or make distributions on equity interests, dispose of assets, make investments, repay other indebtedness (including the 2026 Notes discussed below), engage in mergers, and other matters, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The ABL Agreement contains customary default provisions, which, if triggered, could result in acceleration of repayment of all amounts then outstanding. The ABL Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 (i) in the event that availability under the ABL Agreement is less than the greater of (a) 15% of the borrowing base and (b) $14.1 million; (ii) to complete certain specified transactions; or (iii) if an event of default has occurred and is continuing.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. The total amount available to be drawn as of December 31, 2023 was $76.1 million, calculated based on the current borrowing base less outstanding borrowings, if any, and letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the ABL Agreement.
2026 Notes
The Company issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “2026 Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee.
The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year and will mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Additional interest and special interest may accrue on the 2026 Notes under certain circumstances as described in the 2026 Indenture. The initial

conversion rate is 95.3516 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.49 per share of common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, may be adjusted under certain circumstances as described in the 2026 Indenture. The Company’s intent is to repay the principal amount of the 2026 Notes in cash and settle the conversion feature (if any) in shares of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the 2026 Notes, had been met.
2023 Notes
On January 30, 2018, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2018. The 2023 Notes bore interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, and matured and were repaid in full on February 15, 2023.

Prior to settlement on July 1, 2022, the carrying amount of the GEO Note was $17.5 million, which was the Company’s then-current best estimate of what was owed after set-off for certain indemnification matters. On July 1, 2022, the Company paid $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of its common stock (having a market value of $10.3 million) to extinguish the GEO Note along with accrued interest of $2.2 million.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, primarily relates to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar as used to translate certain of the international operations of the Company’s operating segments. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased from $78.9 million at December 31, 2022 to $70.0 million at December 31, 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil.
During 2023, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened by 6% and 8%, respectively, compared to the U.S. dollar, contributing to other comprehensive income of $9.0 million. During 2022, the exchange rate for the British pound weakened by 11% compared to the U.S. dollar while the Brazilian real strengthened by 6% compared to the U.S. dollar, contributing to other comprehensive loss of $12.9 million.

market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. 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 expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 totaled $7.0 million, $6.9 million and $7.9 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 based on the Company’s cumulative EBITDA over a three-year period.
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 a three-year term.
The following table presents changes in restricted stock awards and related information for the year ended December 31, 2023 (shares in thousands):

The total fair value of restricted stock awards that vested in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $4.7 million, $5.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was $7.0 million of total compensation costs related to unvested restricted stock awards not yet recognized, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.2 years.

Stock Options
No options were awarded or exercised in 2023, 2022 or 2021. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 158 thousand stock options outstanding and exercisable, with exercise prices ranging from $42.29 to $58.54 and a weighted-average contractual life of 7 months.
Long-Term Cash Incentive Awards
The Company issued conditional long-term cash incentive awards (“Cash Awards”) totaling $1.5 million in both 2023 and 2022. 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 ultimate dollar amount to be awarded for each annual grant ranges from zero to a maximum of $3.1 million, but is limited to the targeted award value if the Company’s total stockholder return is negative over the respective performance period. Obligations related to these Cash Awards are classified as liabilities and recognized over the vesting period.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans, including a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Participation in these plans is available to substantially all employees. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company resumed matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan (defined below) – which were suspended in 2020 in response to the significant decline in industry activity levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company recognized expenses of $7.0 million, $3.4 million and $0.8 million primarily related to matching contributions under its various defined contribution plans during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company also maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) that permits eligible directors and employees to elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of their directors’ fees or salary and annual bonuses. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits the Company to make discretionary contributions to an employee’s account. Since inception of the plan, this discretionary contribution provision has been limited to a matching of the employee’s contributions on a basis equivalent to matching permitted under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, but not subject to the IRS limitations on match-eligible compensation. The vesting of Company contributions to participant accounts is equivalent to the vesting requirements of the Company’s 401(k) Plan. 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 made by the Company, in a selection of funds consistent with those in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan are made in cash based upon the participants’ specific deferral payment elections. As of December 31, 2023, Trust assets and amounts payable to plan participants totaled $17.3 million, which are classified as “other noncurrent assets” and “other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the investments held by the Trust was based on quoted market prices in active markets (a Level 1 fair value measurement).
14.    Segments and Related Information
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 acquisition of GEODynamics, 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 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, managed pressure drilling 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, alternative energy 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.
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.
