ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Innovex designs, manufactures, sells and rents mission critical engineered products to the global oil and natural gas industry. Our vision has been to create a global leader in well-centric products and technologies through organic, customer-linked innovations and disciplined acquisitions to drive leading returns for our investors.

On September 6, 2024, the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), between Innovex Downhole Solutions, Inc. (“Legacy Innovex”) and Dril-Quip, Inc. (“Dril-Quip”) (the “Merger”) were consummated. Following the Merger, Legacy Innovex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dril-Quip, and the name “Dril-Quip, Inc.” was changed to “Innovex International, Inc.”. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Legacy Innovex (the “Legacy Innovex Common Stock”) were converted into the right to receive 32,183,966 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of Company Common Stock received for each share of Legacy Innovex Common Stock by the Legacy Innovex stockholders was equal to 2.0125.

On November 29, 2024, we acquired 80% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Downhole Well Solutions, LLC (“DWS”). The acquisition was completed simultaneously with the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement on November 29, 2024. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition consisted of $75.1 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and 1,918,558 shares of Company Common Stock. The remaining 20% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of DWS were previously owned by Legacy Innovex, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On February 7, 2025, we acquired SCF Machining Corporation (“SCF”) in exchange for $17.7 million of cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. SCF is a Canadian-domiciled entity and parent company to SCF Machining Corporation Vietnam Company Limited, a Vietnam-based company that was established to grow Innovex’s low-cost country supply chain by establishing an exclusive manufacturing vendor to provide Innovex with high quality, low price machined goods.

On May 30, 2025, we acquired Citadel Casing Solutions, LLC ("Citadel") for $69.7 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, resulting in Citadel becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovex. Citadel is a leading provider of differentiated downhole technologies, which are designed to improve its customers’ economics by driving reduced cycle times through improved operational efficiencies and production of high-quality, reliable tools that are used globally in the oil and gas sector.

Refer to Note 3. Mergers and Acquisitions of our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information with respect to our recent acquisitions.

Our products are used across the lifecycle of the well (during the construction, completion, production and intervention phases) and are typically utilized downhole and consumable in nature. Our products perform a critical well function, and we believe they are chosen due to their reliability and capacity to save our customers time and lower costs during the well lifecycle. We believe that our products have a significant impact on a well’s performance and economic profile relative to the price we charge, creating a “Big Impact, Small Ticket” value proposition. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we estimate that our total addressable market for our applicable products (or "TAM") was approximately $8.0 billion, consisting of a $3.5 billion TAM for our onshore U.S. and Canadian (“NAM”) market and a $4.5 billion TAM across International and Offshore regions. Refer to “Business—Market Share Capture” for an explanation of how we calculate our TAM. Many of our products can be used in a significant portion of our customers’ wells globally, with our most advanced products providing mission critical solutions for some of the most challenging and complex wells in the world. We have a track record of developing proprietary products to address our customers’ evolving needs, and we maintain an active pipeline of potential new products across various stages of development.

The NAM market made up approximately 52% of our 2025 revenue, while the International and Offshore markets constituted 48%. Within the NAM market, we have a strong presence in the United States and a growing presence in Canada. Revenue is based on the location where services are provided and products are sold.

We make available, free of charge on our website, our Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (in both HTML and iXBRL formats), current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports, including related exhibits and supplemental schedules, filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file such reports with, or furnish them to, the SEC. Our website address is www.innovex-inc.com. Documents and information on our website, or on any other website, are not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report. The SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports we have filed with the SEC.

Overview and Industry Outlook

The NAM market is core to us, and we maintain a robust sales and distribution infrastructure across the region. Our products have broad applicability in this market, particularly for horizontal or unconventional wells that have become prevalent methods of oil and natural gas development across the region. We are focused on significantly increasing our revenue in the International and Offshore markets as these regions are typically subject to long-cycle investment horizons and exhibit relatively less cyclicality than the NAM market. We operate across the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Gulf of America, among other regions. To enhance our global reach, we have complemented our locations across these markets with a network of strategic distribution, sales and manufacturing partners.

We are an innovator and have a development process and culture focused on creating proprietary products for our customers. We seek to work with our customers to solve their operational challenges. We believe that these collaborations have been a source of growth as they have allowed us to develop new products with anchor customers that have served as an initial revenue base from which to scale. We have a unique culture that we view as having been critical to our success in the commercialization of new products. We define our culture as “No Barriers.” Our goal is to remove internal barriers that slow the pace of innovation and empower our employees to be responsive to our customers’ needs, while maintaining a focus on returns for the Company.

Our organic growth has been complemented by a disciplined acquisition strategy. We view acquisitions as a core competency and have identified a rich opportunity set of acquisition targets that we believe are seeking to transact. We aim to execute a disciplined acquisition strategy for high-quality opportunities that meet our stringent investment criteria, as evidenced by the Merger with Dril-Quip and our acquisitions carried out in recent years.

We have a broad customer base, ranging from the largest international oil companies (“IOCs”), national oil companies (“NOCs”) and exploration and production (“E&P”) companies to multinational and regional oilfield service companies. Once a new product has been commercialized or acquired, our global sales and distribution infrastructure enables us to scale and drive customer adoption quickly.

We believe that we can create value for our stockholders across the industry cycle and view our through-cycle playbook as having helped us outperform in all market environments. We prioritize protecting the long-term health of the Company through investments in research and development (“R&D”) and sustaining engineering in our existing portfolio in all market environments. We seek to maintain a conservative balance sheet to preserve operational and financial flexibility through the industry cycle.

We generate our revenue from three primary sources: sales of products and other associated revenues with product sales, such as freight; rentals of tools that are used to deploy our consumable products or to provide a critical well function; and services that are typically connected to the well-site deployment of our engineered products.

Of our 2025 revenue, approximately 70% was generated from product sales, approximately 17% was generated from rental tools and approximately 13% was generated from services.

We believe that demand for our products is primarily activity-driven (i.e., correlated with global spending on exploration and production of oil and natural gas and with general industry activity), and we are not exposed to the highly cyclical capital equipment build cycle for the oil and natural gas industry. Global spending on oil and natural gas can be measured by the number of wells drilled and oil and natural gas production volumes. According to the global energy consulting firm Rystad Energy, global upstream capital spending (excluding Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia and China) is expected to rise slightly by 0.5% in 2026 relative to 2025. We believe that our diverse product portfolio, operating track record and global footprint position us well to continue gaining market share.

In the NAM market, Rystad Energy is forecasting a slight decline in upstream investments of approximately 8% in 2026 relative to 2025. NAM unconventional resources have emerged as a flexible, short-cycle source of oil and natural gas production for E&P operators and a critical component of the global hydrocarbon supply mix. This is a core market for us as our products have broad applicability, and we maintain a robust sales presence as well as service and distribution infrastructure across the region. We view the NAM market as relatively service intensive and believe E&P operators are prone to adopt the latest technologies.

In the International and Offshore markets, Rystad Energy is forecasting upstream investments to grow modestly by approximately 5% in 2026 relative to 2025. We are focused on continually increasing our market presence in these regions as they are typically subject to long-cycle investment horizons and exhibit relatively less cyclicality than the NAM market. In addition, we believe that we can benefit from higher barriers to entry that exist for product and service companies that support the primary end users in our International and Offshore markets, IOCs and NOCs, relative to the NAM market.

We continue to monitor the current global economic environment, specifically including inflationary pressures, the ability and/or desire of OPEC+ and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices, and the macroeconomic impact of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and any resulting impacts on our financial position and results of operations. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information.

Market Share Capture

We believe that we are well positioned to capture market share across our applicable markets.

We calculate TAM by multiplying the number of applicable wells (as provided by Rystad Energy) in each geography by an illustrative price per applicable product. In markets where well data is unavailable, we provide an estimated market size for each such geography.

vi

We estimate that our TAM for applicable products across the NAM market in 2025 was approximately $3.5 billion and we generated $511.2 million in revenue, implying a market share of approximately 15%. Over time, our dedicated sales force, innovative engineering organization and responsive service culture have enabled us to capture more of our customers’ spend on oil and natural gas well development, defined as “wallet share,” while also attracting new customers.

Across both the United States and Canada, we believe that there are many opportunities to cross sell our products throughout our diverse customer base and enhance our presence in select oil and natural gas basins.

Within the International and Offshore markets, we have well established sales and distribution channels across our geographic markets, such as the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Gulf of America and throughout other global regions. We estimate that our TAM for our applicable products across these regions in 2025 was approximately $4.5 billion and we generated $467.1 million in revenue, implying a market share of approximately 10%. We estimate that we have grown our market share since inception and believe we have the potential to grow our market share by utilizing our sales and distribution channels to capture wallet share and push further into geographies where we were underrepresented.

Our Technology Development Process and Product Portfolio

We view our new technology development and ongoing product advancement initiatives as key to our strategy and believe that we have a repeatable process to drive organic product innovation to meet our customers’ well design needs. We maintain an engineering team that is focused on R&D as well as ongoing product enhancements. The engineering team is based in Houston, Texas and has representatives that sit across our global offices. Having a presence near our customers enables us to better understand their challenges, which helps identify and prioritize our market opportunities and maximizes the value of our engineering resources. Our products are used across the lifecycle of our customers’ wells. We believe that we are not dependent on any single technology. We are a single point of contact for many of our customers’ needs. Our product offerings position us to support our customers in solving a range of well-site challenges and diversify our revenue base.

Across the NAM market, we are pursuing various initiatives related to new product development, including specialty, high-margin products that complement our existing product families, among others. These products have applicability across various International and Offshore markets, and we will seek to leverage our global infrastructure and customer relationships to drive sales outside of the NAM market once full commercialization has been achieved.

Within the International and Offshore markets, we are in active conversations with IOCs and NOCs regarding several newly developed products for the global deepwater and offshore markets. Historically, our customer collaborations have been a source of growth as they have allowed us to develop new products to meet customer needs and have provided us with an initial revenue base from which to scale market adoption.

We believe that we have curated a portfolio of product families and brands that in aggregate has created brand equity in Innovex.

We define the well lifecycle phases and describe how our curated portfolio of principal product families are used below:

Drilling Enhancement Our drilling enhancement tools are designed to optimize drilling performance, increase rate of penetration, and mitigate downhole challenges (including high weight-on-bit and stick-slip) typically faced by our customers in horizontal, extended reach, and other complex drilling applications.

Fishing & Intervention Our fishing and intervention portfolio supports workover, intervention, drilling and completion activities, including operations to recover tools and debris from the wellbore, release stuck drill strings, and perform remedial and repair activities. We manufacture and sell products including external catch tools, internal catch tools, and other related fishing and remedial tools.

Production Solutions Our well production solutions portfolio consists of products and services that enable artificial lift in wells. We provide artificial lift accessory products and services primarily focused on enabling electric submersible pump or "ESP" applications. Our primary product families include wellhead penetrators, tubing hangers and adapters, ESP cable management, and spooling services.

Service, Mileage & Other This category consists primarily of field and other service activities associated with the deployment and support of our products, as well as freight, mileage, environmental, and safety-related charges billed to customers.

Subsea Solutions We provide subsea equipment and engineered systems for offshore applications, including subsea wellheads, subsea connectors, casing connectors, deepwater centralization solutions, and diverter systems. In July 2025, we completed the divestment of our subsea tree product line and have since focused our subsea portfolio on our core product lines.

Surface Wellheads We provide a comprehensive range of surface wellhead systems designed for drilling, production, and specialized applications (including thermal and artificial lift), as well as related frac and surface systems.

Well Completion Our well completion portfolio consists of products used to enable a well to be stimulated and put on production. Our primary completion product families include liner hanger systems, toe initiation products (including toe sleeves), frac plugs, completion packers, casing flotation products, and related completion accessories.

Well Construction Our well construction portfolio consists of products designed to ensure the structural integrity of the wellbore. We provide products utilized to support effective cement placement between the wellbore and casing, including centralizers, float equipment, inflatable casing packers, stage cementing tools, and related well construction products.

Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets

We rely on a combination of patents, licensing agreements, trade secrets protections, trademarks, copyrights and contractual restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. We undertake a strategic intellectual property effort focused on building a leading and defensible portfolio.

We have created a large portfolio of patent properties. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 769 U.S. and international patents. Our patent properties cover our inventions related to our products and other technologies.

We complement our intellectual property portfolio with trade secrets. We are focused on solving our customers’ challenges through direct interface and customized solutions. This process is enhanced by our team’s deep experience in the markets in which they operate as well as their extensive knowledge base of product designs, run history and configurations.

The term of individual patents depends on the legal term for patents in the countries in which they are granted. In most countries, including the United States, the patent term is generally 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date of a nonprovisional patent application in the applicable country. Once a patent expires, the protection ends, and the claimed invention enters the public domain; that is, anyone can commercially exploit the invention without infringing the patent.

We also rely upon trademarks to build and maintain the integrity of our brand. We have trademarks registered in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

We protect our proprietary rights through a variety of methods, including confidentiality and assignment agreements with suppliers, employees, consultants and others who may have access to our proprietary information.

Marketing and Sales

We principally sell or market directly to the ultimate end user of our products, the E&P operator. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 1,719 and 1,376, respectively, unique customers that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, or active customers. In 2025, our top ten accounts constituted 26% of revenue. Our top ten customer list includes: NOCs such as Saudi Aramco (our largest end-user in 2025) and Kuwait Oil Company; IOCs such as Petrobras, Chevron, BP and Shell; leading independent E&P operators such as Occidental Petroleum and Woodside Energy; and multinational oilfield service companies such as Schlumberger and Baker Hughes. When we sell to service companies, it is typically to fill a gap in their product portfolio or because they have been directed by the E&P operator to utilize our products. Our goal is to develop products that exhibit clear value creation upside for our customers, including the ultimate end user of our products, typically by saving time and costs during the well lifecycle, while also reducing operational risks. We operate an integrated business model, whereby we design, engineer, manufacture, sell, rent and supervise the onsite deployment of our products.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

We acquire component parts, services and raw materials from various suppliers, including machining service providers. The prices we pay for our raw materials may be affected by, among other things, energy, steel and other commodity prices, tariffs and duties on imported materials and foreign currency exchange rates. Most of the raw materials we use in our manufacturing operations, such as steel in various forms, magnesium and composite materials/elastomers, are available from many sources. Although our relationships with our existing vendors are important to us, we do not believe that we are substantially dependent on any individual vendor to supply our required materials or services. The materials and services essential to our business are normally readily available and, where we use one or a few vendors as a source of any particular materials or services, we believe that we can, within a reasonable period of time, make satisfactory alternative arrangements in the event of an interruption of supply from any vendor. We believe that our materials and services vendors have the capacity to meet additional demand, should we require it.

Manufacturing

To support our global operations, we operate a flexible manufacturing and supply chain model that balances responsiveness with cost and efficiency. We maintain internal manufacturing and production facilities in Humble, Texas; Houston, Texas; Mineral Wells, Texas; Amelia, Louisiana; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Macae, Brazil; Edmonton, Canada; Bac Ninh, Vietnam; and Dammam, Saudi Arabia. These facilities are co-located with our engineering teams, where deemed appropriate, to enable rapid prototyping, testing and designing iterations of new products and enhancing our existing products. We supplement our internal manufacturing with a responsive network of third-party machining resources in the United States to enhance our capital efficiency. We also maintain strategic relationships with multiple, low-cost manufacturing partners outside of the United States.

viii

Competition

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. To be successful, we must provide services and products that meet the specific needs of our customers at competitive prices. We compete in all areas of our operations with a number of companies, some of which have financial and other resources greater than or comparable to ours. Our major competitors across our product lines include Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Schlumberger, TechnipFMC, Weatherford International, Aker Solutions, and NOV.

We believe that the most significant factors influencing our customers’ decision to utilize our products and services are our technology, service quality, safety track record and price. While we must remain competitive in our pricing, we believe our customers select our products and services based on the technical attributes of our products and equipment, the level of technical and operational service we provide before, during and after the job and the know-how derived from our extensive operational track record.

Cyclicality

We are substantially dependent on conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, including the level of exploration, development and production activity of, and the corresponding capital spending by, E&P operators. The level of exploration, development and production activity is directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices, which historically have been volatile. Declines, as well as anticipated declines, in oil and natural gas prices could negatively affect the level of these activities and capital spending, which could adversely affect demand for our products and services and, in certain instances, result in the cancellation, modification or rescheduling of existing and expected orders and the ability of our customers to pay us for our products and services. These factors could have an adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.

Human Capital Management

Our employees are a critical asset which are key to our innovative culture and overall success. We are focused on our high-performance culture through attracting, engaging, developing, retaining and rewarding top talent. We strive to enhance the economic and social well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive environment for our workforce. As a global company, we seek to hire locally and employ a workforce that is representative of the end markets in which we operate. We believe that we have been successful in part due to our No Barriers culture as we believe our culture attracts and retains top industry talent and has been a key ingredient in the success we have achieved. We promote a culture of innovation and seek to incentivize our employees to create value for our organization. We believe that our culture is unique for the oil and natural gas industry, and we will seek to remain an employer of choice for top talent.

As of December 31, 2025, we had a total of 2,160 employees. Substantially all of our employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and we consider our employee relations to be good. The health, safety, and well-being of our employees is of the utmost importance.

We provide employees the option to participate in health and welfare plans, including medical, dental, life, accidental death and dismemberment and short-term and long-term disability insurance plans.

Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation

Our operations and those of our customers are subject to domestic (including U.S. federal, state and local) and international laws and regulations with regard to air, land and water quality and other environmental matters. Numerous federal, state and local governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), issue laws and regulations that often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for non-compliance. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before commencing operations, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with our operations, limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically or seismically sensitive areas and other protected areas, require action to prevent or remediate pollution from current or former operations, result in the suspension or revocation of necessary permits, licenses and authorizations, require that additional pollution controls be installed and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations or related to our owned or operated facilities. Liability under such laws and regulations is often strict (i.e., no showing of “fault” is required) and can be joint and several. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances, hydrocarbons or other waste products into the environment. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially adversely affect our operations and financial position, as well as those of our customers and the oil and natural gas industry in general. We have not experienced any material adverse effects from compliance with these requirements. This trend, however, may not continue in the future. Changes in standards of enforcement of existing laws and regulations, as well as the enactment and enforcement of new legislation, may require us and our customers to modify, supplement or replace equipment or facilities or to change or discontinue present methods of operation. Our environmental compliance expenditures, our capital costs for environmental control equipment and the market for our products may change accordingly.

ix

Employee Health and Safety—We are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including OSHA and comparable state statutes, establishing requirements to protect the health and safety of workers. 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 the public. Substantial fines and penalties can be imposed and orders or injunctions limiting or prohibiting certain operations may be issued in connection with any failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety.

Climate Change—International, national and state governments and agencies are currently evaluating and/or promulgating legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. Some regulatory measures are focused on restricting GHG emissions (including, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for renewable energy) while other regulatory measures are focused on easing restrictions. For example, on February 12, 2026, the EPA issued a final rule rescinding a 2009 scientific finding (the “Endangerment Finding”) that established the Agency’s jurisdiction to regulate GHG emissions from motor vehicles and other sources. The February 2026 rule, which will become effective on April 20, 2026, also repealed regulations based on the Endangerment Finding. Some regulatory uncertainty remains, however, as immediate judicial challenges are expected. Additionally, opposing or conflicting measures may be taken at the international, regional, or state levels of government. Consideration of such legislation or regulation may be impacted by the Paris Agreement, which was announced by the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in December 2015 and which calls on signatories to set progressive GHG emission reduction goals. Although the United States has withdrawn from the Paris Agreement (effective January 27, 2026), these commitments could further reduce demand and prices for fossil fuels.

Prior federal administrations have enacted climate-related legislation and regulations, and future administrations may seek to reverse the current deregulatory trend. In 2021 and 2022, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”), which contain billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, electric vehicles, investments in advanced biofuels and supporting infrastructure and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions. Also, in March 2024, the EPA finalized ambitious rules to reduce harmful air pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gases, from light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027. Though both the IRA and vehicle emissions standards have been scaled back or halted under the Trump Administration, these or similar incentives and regulations, if implemented, could 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, and, in turn, the prices of the oil and natural gas, which could have a material and adverse impact on demand for our products. In addition, the IRA imposes the first ever federal fee on the emission of GHGs through a methane emissions charge. The IRA amends the Clean Air Act to impose a fee on the emission of methane that exceeds an applicable waste emissions threshold from sources required to report their greenhouse gas emissions to the EPA, including those sources in the offshore and onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. On November 18, 2024, the EPA published final regulations to facilitate compliance with the methane emissions charge. However, on March 14, 2025, President Trump signed a joint congressional resolution disapproving the federal regulations pursuant to the Congressional Review Act. While the underlying Clean Air Act requirements still exist, there is no current regulatory process to assess, calculate, or collect the methane emissions charge. If the Clean Air Act provision is implemented in another form, a methane emissions charge could increase our customers’ operating costs, which could adversely impact our business. While President Trump has signed multiple executive orders seeking to reverse many of these climate rules and incentives, including pausing the disbursement of funds under the IRA and eliminating the “electric vehicle mandate”, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, regional and state levels of government that are intended to limit GHG emissions by enforceable requirements and voluntary measures.

The EPA has also finalized a series of GHG monitoring, reporting, and emissions control rules for the oil and natural gas industry, and almost one-half of U.S. states have taken measures to reduce emissions of GHGs, primarily through the development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG cap-and-trade programs. In addition, states have imposed increasingly stringent requirements related to the venting or flaring of gas during oil and natural gas operations.

In general, these regulatory changes do not appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent, than other companies that are our competitors. However, to the extent our customers are subject to these or other similar proposed or newly enacted laws and regulations, the additional costs incurred by our customers to comply with such laws and regulations could impact their ability or desire to continue to operate at current or anticipated levels, which would negatively impact their demand for our products and services. Moreover, any such regulations could ultimately restrict the exploration and production of fossil fuels, which could adversely affect demand for our products.

In addition, there have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Furthermore, claims have been made against certain energy companies alleging that GHG emissions from oil and natural gas operations constitute a public nuisance under federal and/or state common law. As a result, private individuals or public entities may seek to enforce environmental laws and regulations against certain energy companies and could allege personal injury, property damages or other liabilities. While our business is not a party to any such litigation, we could be named in actions making similar allegations. An unfavorable ruling in any such case could significantly impact our operations and could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

x

Hydraulic Fracturing—Many of our customers utilize hydraulic fracturing in their operations. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact of hydraulic fracturing on underground water supplies. These concerns have led to several regulatory and governmental initiatives in the United States to restrict the hydraulic fracturing process, which could have an adverse impact on our customers’ completion or production activities.

State and federal regulatory agencies have also recently focused on a connection between the operation of injection wells used for oil and natural gas wastewater disposal and seismic activity. Similar concerns have been raised that hydraulic fracturing may also contribute to seismic activity. When caused by human activity, such events are called induced seismicity. Developing research suggests that the link between seismic activity and wastewater disposal may vary by region.

Although we do not conduct hydraulic fracturing, increased regulation and attention given to the hydraulic fracturing process could lead to greater opposition to oil and natural gas production activities using hydraulic fracturing techniques. In addition, the adoption of new laws or regulations at the federal, state, local or foreign level imposing reporting obligations on, or otherwise limiting, delaying or banning, the hydraulic fracturing process or other processes on which hydraulic fracturing relies, such as water disposal, could make it more difficult to complete oil and natural gas wells, increase our customers’ costs of compliance and doing business, and otherwise adversely affect the hydraulic fracturing services they perform, which could negatively impact demand for our products.

Offshore Drilling—Various new regulations intended to improve offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been issued since 2010 that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some operators to continue deepwater drilling in the Gulf of America, which could have an adverse impact on our customers’ activities. For example, on August 23, 2023, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) published a final blowout preventer system sand well control rule that strengthens testing and performance requirements for blowout preventers and other well control equipment. Additionally, on April 24, 2024, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) published a final rule to modify the financial assurance requirements for offshore leaseholders. At the time, BOEM estimated that a total of $6.9 billion in new supplemental financial assurance would be required from lessees and grant holders under this final rule to cover potential costs of decommissioning activities. However, on May 2, 2025, the Department of the Interior announced it will revise or replace the 2024 rule, and implementation of the rule has been paused by executive order and pursuant to current agency policy. If implemented, these new financial assurance requirements may increase our customers’ operating costs and impact our customers’ ability to obtain leases, thereby, reducing demand for our products. Additionally, on January 6, 2025, President Biden issued two Presidential Memoranda to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters. Biden’s actions would have withdrawn more than 625 million acres of the U.S. ocean, including the entirety of U.S. East Coast, the eastern Gulf of America, the Pacific off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California, and additional portions of the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska, from future oil and gas leasing, though President Trump reversed the plan with his own executive order on January 20, 2025. Third-party challenges to industry operations in the Gulf of America may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. For example, in August 2022, the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals found two oil leases in the Gulf of America were unlawful for failure to properly analyze risk under the National Environmental Policy Act. If the new regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects or an unjustifiable increase in risk, they could discontinue or curtail their offshore operations, thereby adversely affecting the demand for our equipment and services, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows.

Insurance and Risk Management

We provide products and systems to customers involved in oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. We also provide parts, repair services and field services associated with installation at all of our facilities and service centers throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as at customer sites. Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, including accidents, blowouts, explosions, cratering, fires, oil spills and hazardous materials spills. These conditions can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment, the environment and wildlife, and interruption or suspension of operations, among other adverse effects. In addition, claims for loss of oil and natural gas production and damage to formations can occur. If a serious accident were to occur at a location where our equipment and services are being used, it could result in our being named as a defendant to lawsuits asserting significant claims.

Despite our efforts to maintain safety standards, we have suffered accidents in the past, and we anticipate that we could experience accidents in the future. In addition to the property and personal losses from these accidents, the frequency and severity of these incidents affect our operating costs and insurability, as well as our relationships with customers, employees and regulatory agencies. Any significant increase in the frequency or severity of these incidents, or the general level of compensation awards, could adversely affect the cost of, or our ability to obtain, workers’ compensation and other forms of insurance and could have other adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on customer indemnifications and third-party insurance as part of our risk mitigation strategy. However, our customers may be unable to satisfy indemnification claims against them. In addition, we indemnify our customers against certain claims and liabilities resulting or arising from our provision of goods or services to them. Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover any particular loss or may not cover all losses. We carry a variety of insurance coverages for our operations, and we are partially self-insured for certain claims, in amounts that we believe to be customary and reasonable. Historically, insurance rates have been subject to various market fluctuations that may result in less coverage, increased premium costs, or higher deductibles or self-insured retentions.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters are located in Humble, Texas. Refer to “Item 2. Properties” for information with respect to our other facilities. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.
