Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, in order to understand factors, such as charges, financing transactions and changes in tax regulations, which may impact comparability from period to period.
We provide a broad range of manufactured products and services to customers in the energy, military and industrial sectors through our Offshore Manufactured Products, Completion and Production 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.

(2)On July 28, 2026, the spot price per barrel of Brent and WTI crude oil closed at $85.51 and $80.91, respectively.
The spot price per barrel of Brent crude oil averaged $103 in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $39, or 61%, from the fourth quarter of 2025 following the escalation of military actions in the Middle East in late-February 2026. Despite the increases in crude oil prices, these evolving military actions have resulted in customer delays in project awards, cost increases and supply-chain and logistical constraints in the Middle East region, which have negatively impacted demand for our products and services in the area and limited our access to and increased the price of certain raw materials and other products used in our operations during the first half of 2026. The conflict has also resulted in damage to crude oil refining and storage facilities and severely limited tanker access to the region, causing operators to shut in or limit crude oil production. Continuation or expansion of these military hostilities and export constraints in the Middle East will likely negatively impact our results of operations over the balance of 2026 and possibly beyond. As a major oil producer, Iran’s involvement has heightened concerns over potential supply disruptions and transportation risks, contributing to significant volatility in global oil and natural gas prices. In particular, the restriction or cessation of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly depressed global supply of oil and natural gas, resulting in increased volatility and overall elevated prices, as well as causing overall disruptions in global commodities markets. While the ultimate impact and magnitude of these disruptions is currently unknown, a prolonged interruption to the global commodities markets has the potential to materially adversely affect our business and operations and those of our suppliers and customers. Further, in late April 2026, the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) announced that it was withdrawing from OPEC, and as a result, would no longer be subject to OPEC imposed production controls. While no other countries have yet followed the UAE in leaving OPEC, increased oil and gas production from the UAE, along with any other country that may leave OPEC, could increase global oil and gas supply, resulting in lower oil and gas prices.
In addition, the imposition of broad based trade tariffs by the United States has led to ongoing uncertainty regarding the future effect of reciprocal and other trade tariffs on the global economy. These factors have negatively impacted the demand for and pricing of our products and services provided to the U.S. land-based market and have increased the cost of certain products we manufacture in the United States.
We implemented certain initiatives in 2025, which have continued into 2026, to optimize our operations and improve future returns. These actions were concentrated in our U.S. land-focused service operations and included: the consolidation, relocation and exit of certain operating locations; the exit of certain service offerings; the exit of previously closed facilities; and reductions in our U.S. workforce. We also assessed the carrying value of certain long-lived and other assets based on the industry outlook regarding overall demand for and pricing of our products and services, market competitiveness and management decisions. As a result of these events, actions and assessments, our reported pre-tax results for the first six months of 2026 included $4.1 million of costs associated primarily with facility exits as well as $1.4 million in non-cash asset impairment charges.
On January 28, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated cash-flow based credit agreement (the “Cash Flow Credit Agreement”) providing for original aggregate lender commitments of up to: $75.0 million under a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and $50.0 million under a multi-draw term loan facility, which was available for a six-month period (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Cash Flow Credit Agreement replaced our existing asset-based credit agreement (the “ABL Agreement”). Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company repaid $20.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility with borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, and the remaining lender commitments under
23
the Term Loan Facility lapsed on July 28, 2026. See Note 4, “Long-Term Debt,” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the Cash Flow Credit Agreement.
On April 1, 2026, we retired $52.7 million of outstanding principal of our 4.75% convertible senior notes (the “2026 Notes”) with a combination of $50.5 million of cash and the issuance of 529,428 shares of our common stock. With the election by substantially all holders of the outstanding 2026 Notes to convert the instruments into shares of our common stock at maturity, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $3.6 million on the extinguishment of the 2026 Notes at a premium in the second quarter of 2026.
Overview
Current and expected future pricing for crude oil and natural gas, inflationary and tariff-driven cost increases, and 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 and international drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore Manufactured Products segment.
Crude oil and natural gas prices and levels of demand for crude oil and natural gas are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to: geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, Europe and South America, along with associated international tensions; the moderate perceived risk of a global economic recession; the levels of domestic or international crude oil and natural gas production; technological advancements; consolidation of oil and gas producers; changes in governmental rules and regulations; sanctions; tariffs; 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.
Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment provides technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and natural gas drilling, completion and production systems and facilities globally, as well as certain products and services to the military and industrial markets. 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 91% of our Offshore Manufactured Products segment’s sales in the first six months of 2026 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 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. Deepwater oil and gas development projects may also be impacted by federal legislative and regulatory actions, including the OBBBA, which mandates that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management conduct at least two offshore lease sales annually, of a minimum of 80 million acres (if available), in the Central and Western Gulf of America Planning Areas for the next 15 years. Additionally, we are investing in research and product development (and have been awarded select contracts and are bidding on additional projects) to facilitate the development of alternative energy sources, including offshore wind and deep-sea mineral gathering opportunities.
Backlog reported by our Offshore Manufactured Products segment increased to $451 million as of June 30, 2026 from $435 million as of December 31, 2025. Bookings totaled $114 million in the second quarter of 2026, yielding a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x (1.1x year-to-date). The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

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 2025 and 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024. Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 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, 2024. 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, military and industrial sectors through our Offshore Manufactured Products, Completion and Production 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.

As can be derived from the table above, the 2025 average spot price of WTI crude oil declined 15% from the 2024 average following increased crude oil production by OPEC+. In addition, the imposition of broad based trade tariffs by the United States has led to ongoing uncertainty regarding the future effect of reciprocal and other trade tariffs on the global economy. These factors have negatively impacted the demand for and pricing of our products and services provided to the U.S. land-based market and have increased the cost of certain products we manufacture in the United States when compared to 2024 levels.
We implemented certain initiatives in 2025 to optimize our operations and improve future returns. These actions were concentrated in our U.S. land-focused operations and included: the consolidation, relocation and exit of certain operating locations; the exit of certain product and service offerings; the exit of previously closed facilities; and reductions in our U.S. workforce. We also assessed the carrying value of certain long-lived and other assets based on the industry outlook regarding overall demand for and pricing of our products and services, market competitiveness and management decisions. As a result of these events, actions and assessments, our reported pre-tax results for 2025 included $121.1 million in non-cash asset
-32-
impairment charges as well as $11.6 million of costs associated with facility exits and other charges. Partially offsetting these charges were sales of facilities, equipment and inventory for net proceeds of $20.2 million in 2025.
During 2025, we generated cash flow from operations of $105.1 million and materially delevered with the purchase of $70.8 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes. We also repurchased 3.3 million shares of our common stock for $16.6 million.
On January 28, 2026, we entered into the Cash Flow Credit Agreement providing for aggregate lender commitments of up to: $75.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $50.0 million under the Term Loan Facility, replacing the existing ABL Agreement. See Note 16, “Subsequent Event,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Cash Flow Credit Agreement.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the OBBBA, which resulted in changes to U.S. tax and related laws, including certain key federal income tax provisions applicable to multinational companies such as ours. These changes include, among others: the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation election for investments in qualifying property; the immediate deduction of domestic research and development expenditures; and manufacturing tax incentives related to goods sold outside the United States.
Overview
Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude oil and natural gas, inflationary and tariff-driven cost increases, and 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 and international drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore Manufactured Products segment.
Crude oil and natural gas prices and levels of demand for crude oil and natural gas are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including: geopolitical conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and South America, along with associated international tensions; the moderate perceived risk of a global economic recession; the levels of domestic or international crude oil and natural gas production; technological advancements; consolidation of oil and gas producers; changes in governmental rules and regulations; sanctions; tariffs; 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 U.S. WTI crude oil and natural gas prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of our U.S. operations.

Backlog reported by our Offshore Manufactured Products segment increased to $435 million as of December 31, 2025 from $311 million as of December 31, 2024. Bookings totaled $554 million in 2025, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x. The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

Our Completion and Production Services segment provides completion and production services in the United States (including the Gulf of America) and internationally. Prior to the sale of its drilling rigs in August of 2024, the segment also provided land drilling services in the United States. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Completion and Production Services segment’s 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.
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 frac plugs, toe valves and other elastomer 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. Hydraulic fracturing activity, and, in turn, our Downhole Technologies segment’s results, are sensitive to commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given that lower activity may result in reduced demand for our consumable products. 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 our Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies 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 completion (“frac”) 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, 2025, oil-directed drilling accounted for 75% 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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States imposed new or additional tariffs, through executive orders, on a variety of imported raw materials and 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. We continue to monitor the effects of the ever-evolving global trade landscape, including with respect to sanctions, tariffs, existing trade agreements, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations and more. For example, in the third quarter of 2025, U.S. tariffs on certain steel and other metal components we import from China substantially increased the cost of those products, and President Trump has threatened additional increased tariffs on goods imported from China as result of current Chinese trade policy.
-34-
We cannot predict with certainty the duration of tariffs currently in place, the impact of any new or increased tariffs, or the impact of any retaliatory tariffs. If we encounter difficulty in procuring raw materials and component products, or if the prices we pay for these products remain at current levels or increase and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows and results of operations would be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with respect to potential costs in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause our customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred, would adversely affect our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include but are not limited to: the general global economic environment; competitive pricing pressures; customer consolidations; 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; management’s implementation of strategic decisions; public health crises; natural disasters; industrial accidents; trade restrictions; adoption of new or increases in tariffs; and changes in tax laws in the United States and in the international markets in which we operate. 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, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024
We reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $109.4 million, or $1.86 per share. Net loss included charges of $132.6 million ($130.9 million after tax, or $2.23 per share) primarily associated with non-cash long-lived and other asset impairments, the continued restructuring of certain of our U.S. land-based operations and facilities and valuation allowances established on U.S. deferred tax assets. These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $11.3 million, or $0.18 per share, which included net charges and credits of $22.4 million ($22.0 million after tax, or $0.35 per share) associated with these restructurings, patent defense, and debt extinguishment, partially offset by a gain recognized on the sale of a previously idled facility.
Our results of operations for 2025 reflect the impact of increased capital investments by our offshore and international customers, offset by a decline in U.S. land-based investments, competitive market conditions, increased U.S. trade tariffs and management’s decision to exit certain underperforming locations, service lines and product offerings in the United States.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2025 decreased $23.6 million, or 3%, from 2024 driven by our exit of underperforming service offerings and locations over the past 24 months and lower U.S. land-based activity levels. Excluding the impact of exited operations, consolidated revenues increased $36.9 million year-over-year.
Consolidated product revenues in 2025 increased $33.8 million, or 8%, from 2024, led by higher customer demand for connector, crane and drilling products partially offset by a reduced project-driven platform and valve revenues and U.S. customer demand for completion-related products. Consolidated service revenues in 2025 decreased $57.4 million, or 20%, from 2024. This decrease was concentrated in the United States – reflective of our exit of certain underperforming land-based service offerings following an industry-wide reduction in onshore activity levels.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) in 2025 decreased $0.5 million, compared to 2024.
Consolidated product costs in 2025 increased $52.8 million, or 17%, compared to 2024. Cost of revenues in 2025 included a non-cash inventory impairment provision of $20.8 million – driven by the decision to exit older technology product offerings and the U.S. market downturn. Excluding this 2025 impairment provision, consolidated cost of revenues increased $32.0 million, or 10%, from 2024 due primarily to the reported increase in product revenue. Consolidated service costs in 2025 decreased $53.2 million, or 24%, compared to 2024, due to lower revenue levels and the strategic actions implemented in our U.S. land-based operations to improve reported results.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $90.4 million in 2025. This compares to an expense of $95.0 million in 2024, which included $2.8 million of costs associated with enforcing certain of our patents. Excluding these patent litigation costs, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $1.8 million, or 2%, from the prior-year period, due primarily to lower commissions, marketing, information technology and bad debt expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense in 2025 decreased $7.3 million, or 13%, compared to the prior-year period due to reductions in capital investments. Note 13, “Segments and Related Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.
Impairment of Goodwill. In the first quarter of 2024, our Downhole Technologies operations recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $10.0 million related to goodwill transferred to the business in connection with the realignment of operations between segments. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. During 2025, we performed a fair value assessment of the long-lived assets of an asset group within the Downhole Technologies segment and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $91.0 million. In addition, our Completion and Productions Services and Downhole Technologies segments recognized non-cash impairment charges totaling $2.3 million in connection with the exit of leased locations.
In 2024, management made strategic restructuring decisions leading to the recognition of non-cash impairment charges totaling $3.8 million on operating lease assets held by our Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies segments. Additionally, as a result of our decision to exit an underperforming service offering, our Completion and Production Services business recognized non-cash impairment charges of $10.8 million to reduce the carrying amount of its long-lived intangible assets to estimated fair value.
See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Impairment of Assets Held for Sale. During 2025, we made strategic decisions to sell certain facilities, equipment and inventory of the Completion and Production Services and Offshore Manufactured Products segments, which were reclassified to assets held for sale. The carrying value of these assets held for sale were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in the recognition of a $7.1 million non-cash impairment charge. See Note 3, “Asset Impairments and Other Charges and Credits,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Other Operating Income, Net. In 2024, we recognized a net gain of $15.3 million associated with the sale of a previously idled facility.
Operating Income (Loss). Our consolidated operating loss was $98.0 million in 2025, which included $121.1 million in non-cash asset impairment charges as well as charges totaling $11.6 million associated primarily with the continued restructuring of our U.S. land-based operations and facilities. This compares to a consolidated operating loss of $1.7 million in 2024, which included $24.6 million in non-cash asset impairment charges and $13.7 million associated with facility consolidations and exits, patent defense and other management actions, and a net gain of $15.3 million on the sale of an idled facility. Excluding these charges and gain, operating results improved by $13.5 million year-over-year, driven primarily by a $7.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, growth in offshore and international activity and strategically implemented restructuring actions in our U.S. land-based operations.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense totaled $5.9 million in 2025, which compares to $7.7 million in 2024. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 7% in 2025 and 2024.
Income Tax. For 2025, our income tax provision was $6.8 million, which included the impact of an increase in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, certain discrete tax items and other non-deductible expenses, on a pre-tax loss of $102.5 million. This compares to an income tax provision of $3.4 million, which included the impact of a $10.0 million goodwill impairment charge, other non-deductible expenses and an increase in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, on a pre-tax loss of $7.9 million for 2024.
-39-
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive loss is the sum of reported net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income was $13.3 million in 2025 compared to other comprehensive loss of $9.5 million in 2024 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 2025 and 2024, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 2025, the exchange rates for both the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. This compares to 2024, when the exchange rates for both the British pound and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Segment Operating Results
Offshore Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $33.2 million, or 8%, in 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to increased demand for the segment’s international and offshore project-driven connector, crane and drilling products.
Operating Income. Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $69.2 million in 2025, which included $1.6 million in facility consolidation and relocation charges. This compares to operating income of $65.3 million in 2024, which included $3.4 million in facility consolidation and other charges. Excluding these charges, the Offshore Manufactured Products segment’s operating income increased $2.1 million year-over-year due primarily to the reported revenue growth.
Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore Manufactured Products segment totaled $435 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $311 million as of December 31, 2024. Bookings during 2025 were $554 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x.
Completion and Production Services
Revenues. Our Completion and Production Services segment revenues decreased $49.4 million, or 30%, in 2025 compared to 2024, driven primarily by the exit of underperforming U.S. land-based service offerings and facilities and lower U.S. land-based activity levels. Excluding the impact of exited operations, revenues increased $11.2 million year-over-year.
Operating Income (Loss). Our Completion and Production Services segment reported operating income of $4.0 million in 2025, which included charges totaling $10.8 million primarily associated with the continued restructuring of its operations. This compares to an operating loss of $23.2 million in 2024, which included charges totaling $24.3 million associated with facility consolidations and exits, the defense of patents and other management actions. Excluding these charges, the Completion and Production Services segment’s operating results improved $13.8 million from the prior-year period, due primarily to implemented cost reduction measures and a $5.4 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $7.4 million, or 6%, in 2025 from 2024, driven by lower U.S. customer activity levels and competitive market conditions.
Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $124.3 million in 2025, which included non-cash charges totaling $112.7 million associated with impairments of long-lived assets and inventories and $0.3 million in restructuring charges. This compares to an operating loss of $20.9 million reported in 2024, which included a $10.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and $1.2 million in charges related to the exit of a facility, personnel reductions and a customer bankruptcy. Excluding charges, the Downhole Technologies segment’s operating results declined $1.6 million from the prior-year period, due primarily to higher U.S. tariffs on imported goods and the decrease in activity levels.
Corporate
Operating Loss. Corporate expenses totaled $46.8 million in 2025, which included a $7.1 million impairment of assets held for sale. This compares to Corporate expenses of $22.8 million in 2024, which included a net gain of $15.3 million associated with the sale of an idle facility. Excluding these charges and credits, Corporate expenses increased $1.6 million year-over-year due primarily to higher performance-based incentive costs.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters
Our primary liquidity needs are to fund operating and capital expenditures, new product development, general working capital needs and debt repayment, including the repayment of the 2026 Notes upon their maturity on April 1, 2026. In addition, capital has been used to fund share repurchases and strategic business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds are cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and proceeds from borrowings under our Cash Flow Credit Agreement, and, less frequently, capital markets transactions.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations totaled $105.1 million during 2025, compared to $45.9 million generated by operations during 2024.
During 2025, $46.3 million was provided by net working capital decreases, which included increases in deferred revenues, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. During 2024, $10.7 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued short- and long-term cash incentive compensation as well as an increase in inventories, partially offset by the favorable impact of an increase in deferred revenue and a decrease in accounts receivable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during 2025 totaled $11.1 million, compared to $2.7 million provided by investing activities during 2024.
Capital expenditures totaled $31.2 million and $37.5 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively. These investments were offset by proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and assets held for sale of $20.2 million and $40.7 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Financing Activities
During 2025, net cash of $90.2 million was used in financing activities, which included the purchase of $70.8 million principal amount of our outstanding 2026 Notes for $70.4 million in cash and the repurchase of 3.3 million shares of our common stock (or 5% of our common stock outstanding as of January 1, 2025) for $16.6 million. This compares to $29.5 million of cash used in financing activities during 2024, which included the purchase of $11.5 million principal amount of our outstanding 2026 Notes for $10.8 million in cash and the repurchase of $14.2 million of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $69.9 million, no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Agreement, $52.7 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes outstanding and other debt of $2.4 million. Our reported interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million during 2025. For 2025, our contractual cash interest expense was $6.2 million, or approximately 6% of the average principal balance of debt outstanding.
On January 28, 2026, we entered into the Cash Flow Credit Agreement (further discussed below), which replaced our existing ABL Agreement.
We believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity available under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months, including full retirement of our 2026 Notes upon maturity on April 1, 2026. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional capital from other sources. Our ability to obtain capital to repay debt, for general liquidity needs and 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 and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, disruptions affecting the availability of capital have in the past and may in the future negatively impact 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 negatively affect our liquidity.
Stock Repurchase Program. In October 2024, our Board of Directors authorized $50.0 million for repurchases of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, through October 2026. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate.
-41-
During 2025, $16.6 million in repurchases of common stock were made under this program. The amount remaining under our share repurchase authorization as of December 31, 2025 was $24.7 million.
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities. On January 28, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated cash-flow based credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto, referred to herein as the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. The Cash Flow Credit Agreement provides for aggregate lender commitments of up to: $75.0 million under a revolving credit facility and $50.0 million under a multi-draw term loan facility, which is available through July 28, 2026. The Cash Flow Credit Agreement replaced the ABL Agreement discussed below and matures in January 2030. As of February 20, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement and $12.1 million of outstanding letters of credit. See Note 16, “Subsequent Event,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Cash Flow Credit Agreement.
Prior to entering into the Cash Flow Credit Agreement, our senior secured credit facility provided for a $100.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) under which credit availability was subject to a borrowing base calculation. As of December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $12.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.
The ABL Facility was governed by a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto. See Note 6, “Long-term Debt,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the ABL Facility.
2026 Notes. We issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 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. As of December 31, 2025, we have purchased a cumulative $82.3 million principal amount of the 2026 Notes for $81.3 million in cash, with $52.7 million principal amount outstanding. The outstanding 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 6, “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, 2025, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the 2026 Notes, had been met.
We intend to extinguish the remaining 2026 Notes with a combination of cash on-hand and/or borrowings under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement in the second quarter of 2026, if not repurchased sooner.
Our total debt represented 9% and 16% of our combined total debt and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Contractual Obligations. As discussed above, we believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under the New Credit Facilities 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, 2025, 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 14, “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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States imposed new or additional tariffs, through executive orders, on a variety of imported raw materials and 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. We continue to monitor the effects of the ever-evolving global trade landscape, including with respect to sanctions, tariffs, existing trade agreements, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations and more. For example, in the third quarter of 2025, U.S. tariffs on certain steel and other metal components we import from China substantially increased the cost of those products, and President Trump has threatened additional increased tariffs on goods imported from China as result of current Chinese trade policy.
We cannot predict with certainty the duration of tariffs currently in place, the impact of any new or increased tariffs, or the impact of any retaliatory tariffs. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products, or if the prices we pay for these products remain at current levels or increase and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows and results of operations would 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 9, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information with respect to tax matters.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of December 31, 2025, 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 39%, 33% and 34% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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
-43-
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 61%, 67% and 66% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 $257.1 million, representing 29% of our total assets as of December 31, 2025, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $31.5 million, representing 4% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.
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 strategic management actions, 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.
Events and circumstances in 2025 (including lower crude oil prices, reduced U.S. customer activity, competitive market conditions and the imposition of broad-based trade tariffs by the United States an imported goods, without relief from the U.S. Supreme Court prior to December 31, 2025) indicated that the long-lived tangible and intangible assets of an asset group within our Downhole Technologies segment may not be recoverable. We assessed the carrying value of the long-lived assets of this asset group by comparing our estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. This assessment indicated that the asset group’s long-lived assets were not recoverable. The measured fair value of the asset group’s long-lived
-44-
assets was below its carrying amount, resulting in the recognition of a non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge of $91.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. This impairment charge did not impact the Company’s liquidity position, debt covenants or cash flows.
Management used the income approach (a Level 3 fair value measurement) to estimate fair value by discounting the forecasts of the asset group’s future cash flows by a discount rate (expected return) that a market participant is expected to require on its investment. Significant assumptions and estimates used in the income approach included, among others, estimated future net annual cash flows and discount rates for the asset group, current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates and historical data. These estimates rely upon significant management judgment.
During 2025, the Company also recognized non-cash operating lease impairment charges of $2.3 million within its Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies segments related to facility closures.
During 2024, in response to further reductions in customer activity in the United States, we made strategic decisions to exit our underperforming flowback and well testing service offering and sell the related equipment and inventory. We also decided to exit eight leased facilities. As a result of these events and actions, we recorded non-cash intangible asset (customer relationships and tradenames) impairment charges of $10.8 million associated with the exit of this service offering and operating lease impairments of $3.8 million related to facility closures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. 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.
In 2025, we prospectively expanded our income tax disclosures provided in Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report in accordance with the FASB guidance (“Accounting Standards Update 2023-09”) issued in December 2023.

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 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, Completion and Production Services (previously referred to as 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.

In 2023, we began implementing initiatives, which continued throughout 2024, to reduce costs. Management actions in 2024 included: the consolidation, relocation and exit of certain underperforming locations; the exit of certain service offerings; reductions in our U.S. work force as well as the realignment of operations discussed below. We also incurred legal and other related costs to enforce certain patents related to our proprietary technologies. As a result of these actions, our reported pre-tax results for 2024 included $24.6 million in non-cash goodwill, intangible asset and operating lease asset impairment charges as well as $13.7 million of facility consolidation and exit, patent defense and other charges.
Certain short-cycle, consumable product operations historically reported within the Offshore Manufactured Products segment (legacy frac plugs and elastomer products) were integrated into the Downhole Technologies segment in early 2024 to better align with the underlying activity demand drivers and current segment management structure, as well as provide for additional operational synergies. Historical financial data, supplemental disaggregated revenue and backlog information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (presented herein) were conformed with the 2024 segment presentation. Additionally, following the sale of its remaining U.S. land-based drilling rigs and the exit of the flowback and well testing service offering in the third quarter of 2024, our Well Site Services segment name was changed to the Completion and Production Services segment.
On February 16, 2024, we amended the ABL Facility to extend its maturity date from February 10, 2025 to February 16, 2028.
During 2024, we sold two manufacturing and service facilities that were classified as held for sale assets, generating net proceeds of $35.1 million, we purchased $14.2 million of our common stock, and we purchased $11.5 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes for $10.8 million.
In October 2024, our Board of Directors terminated our existing common stock repurchase program and replaced it with a new $50.0 million common stock repurchase authorization, which expires in October 2026.
On February 14, 2025, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices closed at $75.81 per barrel, $71.05 per barrel and $4.60 per MMBtu, respectively – above the fourth quarter 2024 averages. Additionally, the U.S. drilling rig count reported on February 14, 2025 was 588 rigs – comparable to the fourth quarter 2024 average.
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 and international drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore Manufactured Products segment.

Crude oil and natural gas prices and levels of demand for crude oil and natural gas 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 moderate perceived risk of a global economic recession; the levels of domestic or international crude oil and natural gas 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 U.S. crude oil and natural gas prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of our U.S. operations.
Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has declined in recent 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. However, the extended outlook for natural gas in the United States is positive with increased exports of LNG, as well as increased power needs for the technology sector, namely data centers.
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 drilling and completion markets. 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 90% of Offshore Manufactured Products segment sales in 2024 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 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. 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 (and have been awarded select contracts and are bidding on additional projects) to facilitate the development of alternative energy sources, including offshore wind and deepsea mineral gathering opportunities.
Backlog reported by our Offshore Manufactured Products segment decreased to $311 million as of December 31, 2024 from $327 million as of December 31, 2023. Bookings totaled $392 million in 2024, yielding an annual book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x in 2024. This compares to total bookings of $414 million in 2023 and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x. The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

Our Completion and Production Services segment provides completion and production services in the United States (including the Gulf of America) and internationally. Prior to the sale of its drilling rigs in August of 2024, the segment also provided land drilling services in the United States. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Completion and Production 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.
-33-
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 frac plugs, toe valves and other elastomer 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 our Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies 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, 2024, oil-directed drilling accounted for 82% 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. 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. In addition, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. In early 2025, the Trump Administration, after taking office, proposed increases to existing U.S. tariffs as well as the imposition of certain new tariffs. 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. While we cannot predict with certainty the impact of any new or increased tariffs, or the impact of any retaliatory tariffs, 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; competitive pricing pressures; customer consolidations; 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; management’s implementation of strategic decisions; public health crises; natural disasters; and changes in tax laws in the United States and in the international markets in which we operate. 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, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
We reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $11.3 million, or $0.18 per share. The reported 2024 net loss included net charges and credits of $22.4 million ($22.0 million after tax, or $0.35 per share) associated with the restructuring of certain of our U.S. land-based operations, facility consolidations and closures, patent defense, personnel reductions and debt extinguishment, partially offset by a gain recognized on the sale of a previously idled facility. These results compare to 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).
Results of operations for 2024 reflect the impact of operators’ continued investment in offshore and international projects and associated backlog conversion, partially offset by a decline in land-based investments by our U.S. customers, competitive market conditions and management’s decision to exit certain underperforming locations and service offerings in the United States.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2024 decreased $89.7 million, or 11%, from 2023. Of this decrease, $74.4 million, or 83%, was concentrated in service offerings and locations exited by our Completion and Production Services segment over the past 15 months.
Consolidated product revenues in 2024 decreased $16.0 million, or 4%, from 2023, with the impact of a decline in U.S. customer demand for completion and perforating products partially offset by higher customer demand for military products. Consolidated service revenues in 2024 decreased $73.7 million, or 20%, from 2023. This decrease was concentrated in the United States – driven by lower land-based customer investments (particularly in natural gas basins), competitive market conditions and our exit of certain underperforming service offerings and locations during 2024, partially offset by higher offshore and international service activity.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) decreased $70.7 million, or 12%, in 2024 compared to 2023.
Consolidated product costs in 2024 decreased $14.2 million, or 4%, compared to 2023 due primarily to the reported decrease in product revenue. Consolidated service costs in 2024 decreased $56.5 million, or 20%, compared to 2023, with the impact of lower U.S. activity levels and implemented cost control measures partially offset by facility consolidation and exit costs, and severance expenses incurred in 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense totaled $95.0 million in 2024, which included $2.8 million of costs associated with enforcing certain of our patents. Excluding these patent defense costs, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $1.4 million, or 1%, from the level reported in 2023, with the impact of

lower short- and long-term incentive compensation expenses and cost reduction measures partially offset by an increase in the provision for bad debt.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.1 million, or 10%, in 2024 compared to the prior-year period. Note 14, “Segments and Related Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.
Impairment of Goodwill. In the first quarter of 2024, our Downhole Technologies operations recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $10.0 million related to goodwill transferred to the business in connection with the segment realignment discussed above. See Note 4, “Asset Impairments and Other Charges and Credits,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Impairments of Intangible Assets. In 2024, as a result of our decision to exit an underperforming service offering, our Completion and Production Services business recognized non-cash impairment charges of $10.8 million to reduce the carrying amount of its long-lived intangible assets to estimated fair value. See Note 4, “Asset Impairments and Other Charges and Credits,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Impairments of Operating Lease Assets. In 2024, management made strategic decisions to exit seven leased service locations within our Completion and Production Services segment and one within our Downhole Technologies segment. As a result of these decisions, our Completion and Production Services and Downhole Technologies segments recognized non-cash impairment charges totaling $3.8 million to reduce the carrying amount of the related operating lease assets. See Note 4, “Asset Impairments and Other Charges and Credits,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Other Operating Income, Net. In 2024, we recognized a net gain of $15.3 million associated with the sale of a previously idled facility. Other operating income, net for 2023 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.
Operating Income (Loss). Our consolidated operating loss was $1.7 million in 2024, which included non-cash charges of $24.6 million for goodwill, intangible asset and operating lease asset impairments, other charges totaling $13.7 million associated with facility consolidations and exits, patent defense and other management actions, and a net gain of $15.3 million on the sale of an idled facility. This compares to consolidated operating income of $23.2 million in 2023, which included facility consolidation and other charges of $3.1 million. Excluding these charges, operating results declined $5.0 million year-over-year, driven by the substantial decline in activity levels in the United States during 2024.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense totaled $7.7 million in 2024, which compares to $8.2 million in 2023. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 7% in 2024 and 2023.
Income Tax. For 2024, our income tax provision was $3.4 million, which included the impact of a goodwill impairment charge, other non-deductible expenses and an increase in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, on a pre-tax loss of $7.9 million. This compares to an income tax provision of $2.9 million, which included the impact of certain non-deductible expenses, discrete tax items and a reduction in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, on pre-tax income of $15.8 million for 2023.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of reported net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive loss was $9.5 million in 2024 compared to comprehensive income of $9.0 million in 2023 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 2024 and 2023, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 2024, the exchange rates for both the British pound and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar. This compares to 2023, when the exchange rates for both the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar.

Segment Operating Results
Offshore Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $16.2 million, or 4%, in 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily to increased demand for international and offshore-project driven services and military products.
Operating Income. Our Offshore Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $65.3 million in 2024, which included $3.4 million in facility consolidation and other charges. This compares to operating income of $56.3 million in 2023, which included $2.5 million in facility consolidation and other charges. Excluding these charges, the Offshore Manufactured Products segment’s operating income increased $9.9 million year-over-year due to the reported revenue growth in 2024 and a favorable shift in revenue mix.
Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore Manufactured Products segment totaled $311 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to $327 million as of December 31, 2023. Bookings during 2024 were $392 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x.
Completion and Production Services
Revenues. Our Completion and Production Services segment revenues decreased $78.7 million, or 32%, in 2024 compared to 2023, driven primarily by lower U.S. customer activity levels (particularly in natural gas basins), competitive market conditions and the exit of two underperforming service offerings and four additional underperforming service facilities during 2024.
Operating Income (Loss). Our Completion and Production Services segment reported an operating loss of $23.2 million in 2024, which included charges totaling $24.3 million associated with the exit of certain service offerings, facility consolidations and exits, the defense of patents and other management actions. This compares to operating income of $13.9 million in 2023, which included patent defense costs of $0.6 million. Excluding these charges, the Completion and Production Services segment’s operating results declined $13.4 million from the prior-year period, with the impact of a decrease in U.S. land-based revenues partially offset by implemented cost control measures.
The segment’s U.S. land-based service offerings and facilities exited during 2024 collectively generated revenues of $40.6 million and operating losses of $19.6 million in 2024, which included intangible and operating lease asset impairment, facility closure and other charges totaling $21.1 million as well as depreciation and amortization expense of $7.9 million.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $27.2 million, or 17%, in 2024 from 2023 due to lower U.S. customer demand for completion and perforating products during 2024.
Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $20.9 million in 2024, which included the $10.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the segment realignment in the first quarter of 2024 and $1.2 million in charges related to the exit of a facility, personnel reductions and a customer bankruptcy. This compares to an operating loss of $5.9 million reported in 2023. Excluding the 2024 charges discussed above, the Downhole Technologies segment’s operating loss increased $3.9 million from the prior-year period, due primarily to the reported decrease in revenue and lower manufacturing volumes.
Corporate
Operating Loss. Corporate expenses in 2024 decreased $18.3 million, or 44%, from 2023, due primarily to the recognition in 2024 of a net gain of $15.3 million associated with the sale of a previously idled facility and lower short- and long-term incentive compensation expense.

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 compensation 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 Completion and Production Services segment in recent years. Note 14, “Segments and Related Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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, which included the impact of certain non-deductible expenses, discrete tax items and reductions in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, on pre-tax income of $15.8 million. This compares to an income tax provision of $5.5 million, which included the impact of certain non-deductible expenses and discrete tax items, on a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million for 2022.
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 $59.3 million, or 18%, 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 $56.3 million in 2023, which included the $2.5 million in facility consolidation charges discussed above. This compares to operating income of $35.7 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 2022 litigation gain, operating income increased $29.2 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 $327 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $300 million as of December 31, 2022. Bookings during 2023 totaled $414 million, yielding a year-to-date book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x.
Completion and Production Services
Revenues. Our Completion and Production 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 Completion and Production 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 Completion and Production 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.
-41-
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $26.2 million, or 14%, in 2023 from 2022 due primarily to lower U.S. customer demand for perforating and completion products.
Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $5.9 million in 2023, compared to operating income of $2.9 million reported in 2022. This year-over-year decrease in operating results 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 compensation 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 repay debt, fund share repurchases and fund strategic business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds are cash flow from operations, asset sales and proceeds from borrowings under our ABL Facility and, less frequently, capital markets transactions.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operations totaled $45.9 million during 2024, compared to $56.6 million generated by operations during 2023.
During 2024, $10.7 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued short- and long-term cash incentive compensation as well as an activity-driven increase in inventories, partially offset by the favorable impact of an increase in deferred revenue and a decrease in accounts receivable. 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.
Investing Activities
Within our Offshore Manufactured Products segment, we completed the consolidation of certain facilities in Houston, Texas during 2023 and strategically relocated our Asian manufacturing and service operations from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. With these consolidations, facilities classified as held for sale within prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2023 were sold during 2024 for net proceeds of $35.1 million.
Given these and other sales proceeds, net cash of $2.7 million was provided by investing activities during 2024, compared to $25.6 million used in investing activities during 2023.
Capital expenditures totaled $37.5 million and $30.7 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. These investments were offset by proceeds from the sale of property, equipment and asset held for sale of $40.7 million and $5.3 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Including investments associated with the continuing construction of a new facility in Batam, we expect to invest approximately $25 million in capital expenditures during 2025. 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 2024, net cash of $29.5 million was used in financing activities, which included the repurchase of $14.2 million of our common stock and the purchase of $11.5 million principal amount of our outstanding 2026 Notes for $10.8 million in cash. This compares to $26.7 million of cash used in financing activities during 2023, which included the repayment of the $17.3 million principal amount outstanding under our 2023 Notes and the repurchase of $6.9 million of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $65.4 million, which compared to $47.1 million as of December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, $123.5 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes outstanding and other debt of $2.8 million. Our reported interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million during 2024. For 2024, our contractual cash interest expense was $7.3 million, or approximately 6% 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. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, disruptions affecting the availability of capital have in the past and may in the future negatively impact 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 negatively affect our liquidity.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC finalized rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related information (the “Rules”). The Rules were temporarily stayed by the SEC on April 4, 2024 pending judicial review. While subject to ongoing litigation, these new disclosure requirements are currently effective for us beginning with the year ending December 31, 2026, phased in over a five-year period. The ultimate impact on our business is uncertain but 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 Rules 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. In February 2023, our Board of Directors authorized $25.0 million for repurchases of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, through February 2025. On October 24, 2024, our Board of Directors terminated our existing common stock repurchase program and replaced it with a new $50.0 million common stock repurchase authorization, which expires in October 2026. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, $14.2 million in repurchases of common stock were made under these programs. The amount remaining under our new share repurchase authorization as of December 31, 2024 was $41.3 million.
Revolving Credit Facility. Our senior secured credit facility 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 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, 2024, we had $15.9 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, 2024 was $57.2 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 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. As of December 31, 2024, we have purchased a cumulative $11.5 million principal amount of the 2026 Notes for $10.8 million in cash, with $123.5 million principal amount outstanding. The outstanding 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, 2024, 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% of our combined total debt and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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, 2024, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

(3)Amount represents payment obligations (including implied interest) for operating leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months. Operating lease obligations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as operating lease liabilities while the right-of-use assets are included within operating lease assets.
(4)Our purchase obligations primarily relate to open purchase orders.
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. 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. In addition, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. In early 2025, the Trump Administration, after taking office, proposed increases to existing U.S. tariffs as well as the imposition of certain new tariffs. 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. While we cannot predict with certainty the impact of any new or increased tariffs, or the impact of any retaliatory tariffs, 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.
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, 2024, 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
-45-
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 33%, 34% and 35% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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 67%, 66% and 65% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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 $286.4 million, representing 29% of our total assets as of December 31, 2024, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $125.9 million, representing 13% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.
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 strategic management actions, 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.
During 2024, in response to further reductions in customer activity in the United States, we made strategic decisions to exit our underperforming flowback and well testing service offering and sell the related equipment and inventory. We also decided to exit eight leased facilities. As a result of these events and actions, we recorded non-cash intangible asset (customer relationships and tradenames) impairment charges of $10.8 million associated with the exit of this service offering and operating lease impairments of $3.8 million related to facility closures.
Events and circumstances in 2024 also indicated that the long-lived tangible and intangible assets of an asset group within our Downhole Technologies segment (totaling $146.7 million as of December 31, 2024) may not be recoverable. We assessed the carrying value of the long-lived assets of this group by comparing our estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. This assessment indicated that the asset group’s long-lived assets were recoverable. Accordingly, no additional long-lived asset impairment losses were recorded in 2024. 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 (the “FASB”), 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.
In 2024, we retrospectively expanded our reportable segment disclosures provided in Note 14, “Segments and Related Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report in accordance with the FASB guidance (“Accounting Standards Update 2023-07”) issued in November 2023.

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.
-40-
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):

(2)Amount represents the full principal amount of the 2026 Notes together with cash interest payments due semi-annually.
(3)Amount represents payment obligations (including implied interest) for operating leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months. Operating lease obligations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as operating lease liabilities while the right-of-use assets are included within operating lease assets.
(4)Our purchase obligations primarily relate to open purchase orders.
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 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 2022 and 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021. Discussions of 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020 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, 2021. 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.
-30-
Recent Developments
Demand for oil and natural gas has increased steadily from the lows experienced in 2020 as the impact of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wane, with commodity prices also driven by declines in crude oil supplies, concerns over sanctions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and slower crude oil production growth due to reduced investments by operators globally in recent years.
The spot price of Brent crude oil averaged $101 per barrel during 2022, an increase of 43% from the 2021 average, but crude oil prices decreased toward the end of the third quarter and through the fourth quarter of 2022 in response to, among other things, the growing risk of a global recession, which raised concerns over future crude oil demand destruction, and expanding commodity inventories.
Brent and WTI crude oil and natural gas pricing trends were as follows:

On February 10, 2023, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices closed at $85.46 per barrel, $79.74 per barrel and $2.37 per MMBtu, respectively. Additionally, as presented in more detail below, the U.S. drilling rig count reported on February 10, 2023 was 761 rigs – slightly below the fourth quarter 2022 average.
In January 2022, we exited various underperforming domestic service lines within our Well Site Services segment. These service offerings generated revenues of approximately $20 million in 2021. The exit of these service lines improved our segment margins for 2022 despite tempering our reported revenue growth.
In March 2022, we recorded bad debt expense of $0.8 million related to receivables from Russia-based customers of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. As of March 31 and December 31, 2022, we had no remaining material balance sheet exposure related to Russia.
In April 2022, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment acquired E-Flow, a global provider of fully integrated handling, control, monitoring and instrumentation solutions. E-Flow, founded in 1988, provides a broad range of engineering, design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning services to its customers in the energy industry. The purchase price of $8.1 million (net of cash acquired) was funded with cash on-hand.
In July 2022, we paid the GEO Seller $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock (having a market value of $10.3 million) to fully settle our disputes, including $19.7 million in principal and accrued interest due under the GEO Note.
In August 2022, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment settled outstanding litigation against certain service providers in exchange for the receipt of cash totaling $6.9 million. We recognized a gain of $6.1 million in connection with this settlement.
Overview
Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude oil, 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.
-31-
Crude oil prices and levels of demand for crude oil are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including: geopolitical conflicts (such as the direction and outcome of Russia's invasion of Ukraine) and international tensions; sanctions; the perceived risk of a global economic recession; global uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic; domestic or international crude oil production; changes in governmental rules and regulations; the willingness of operators to invest capital in the exploration for and development of resources; use of alternative fuels; improved vehicle fuel efficiency; a more sustained movement to electric vehicles; and the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances. Capital investment by our customers temporarily declined due to these factors and the desire to generate sustainable cash flows.
Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has been limited 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.
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.
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, 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 41% of Offshore/Manufactured Products segment sales in 2022 were driven by our customers' capital spending for products used in exploratory and developmental drilling, greenfield offshore production infrastructure, and subsea pipeline tie-in and repair system applications, along with upgraded equipment for existing offshore drilling rigs and other vessels (referred to herein as "project-driven products"). 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 $308 million as of December 31, 2022 from $260 million as of December 31, 2021. Bookings totaled $435 million in 2022, 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 the rest of the world. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Well Site Services results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of its operations. 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.
-32-
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, which requires ongoing technological and product developments.
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. and international 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, 2022, oil-directed drilling accounted for 80% of the total U.S. rig count – with the balance largely natural gas related. As can be derived from the table above, the average U.S. rig count for 2022 increased by 245 rigs, or 51%, compared to the average for 2021.
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, 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; 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 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, 2022 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2021
We reported 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. These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $64.0 million, or $1.06 per share. Reported results in 2021 included: non-cash impairment charges of $7.7 million ($6.1 million after-tax, or $0.10 per share) associated with write-downs of inventories and fixed and lease assets; $7.5 million ($5.9 million after-tax, or $0.10 per share) of severance and restructuring costs; a non-cash loss of $9.3 million ($9.3 million after-tax, or $0.15 per share) reclassified from other comprehensive loss upon exit of an international operation; and non-cash gains of $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) associated with convertible debt extinguishment.
Demand for most of our products and services increased throughout 2022 from the lows experienced in 2020 and 2021 due to the waning impact of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had adversely affected energy demand and prices. Increased capital investments by our customers, together with internal cost reduction and strict capital discipline measures and other corporate actions, resulted in significant improvements in our consolidated results in 2022.
During 2021, we recognized an aggregate $8.8 million reduction of payroll tax expense (recognized within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense) as part of the CARES Act employee retention credit program.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2022 increased $164.5 million, or 29%, from 2021.
Consolidated product revenues in 2022 increased $86.3 million, or 29%, from 2021, driven primarily by increased U.S. land-based customer activity and higher demand for project-related connector products. Consolidated service revenues in 2022 increased $78.3 million, or 29%, from 2021 due primarily to higher customer spending in the United States, partially offset by the exit of certain non-performing service offerings in January 2022 (which generated revenues of approximately $20 million in 2021). As can be derived from the following table, 61% of our consolidated revenues in 2022 were derived from sales of our short-cycle product and service offerings, which compares to 59% in the prior year.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) increased $108.2 million, or 23%, in 2022 compared to 2021, which included $3.6 million of non-cash inventory impairment charges. Excluding these charges, consolidated cost of revenues increased $111.7 million, or 24%, from the prior year.
Consolidated product costs in 2022 increased $60.8 million, or 25%, compared to 2021, which included $2.1 million in non-cash inventory impairment charges. Excluding these 2021 charges, consolidated product costs increased $62.9 million, or 26%, from the prior year due to the reported revenue growth and higher material, transportation, labor and other costs. Consolidated service costs in 2022 increased $47.4 million, or 21%, compared to 2021, which included $1.5 million in non-cash inventory impairment charges. Excluding these 2021 charges, consolidated service costs increased $48.8 million, or 22%, from the prior year due to the impact of higher customer activity levels and increased labor, material and other costs, partially offset by the impact of the January 2022 exit of certain non-performing service offerings.
-36-
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $12.3 million, or 15%, in 2022 from 2021 due primarily to higher performance-based incentive compensation, professional services, bad debt and trade show expenses, partially offset by $3.7 million in severance and restructuring charges recognized in 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.4 million, or 17%, in 2022 compared to the prior year, driven primarily by reduced capital investments made in our Well Site Services segment in recent years. Note 13, "Segments and Related Information," to our Consolidated Financial Statements presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.
Impairments of Fixed and Lease Assets. During 2021, our Well Site Services segment recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4.2 million to reduce the carrying value of certain of the segment's fixed and operating lease assets to their estimated realizable value.
Other Operating Income, Net. Net other operating income 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 (Loss). Our consolidated operating income was $2.9 million in 2022, which included the $6.1 million gain reported as other operating income, net (discussed above). This compares to a consolidated operating loss of $64.8 million recognized in 2021, which included $7.7 million of asset impairment charges and $7.5 million of severance and restructuring costs.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense totaled $10.3 million in 2022, which compares to $10.2 million in 2021. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 6% in 2022 and 5% in 2021.
Other Income, Net. Net other income for 2022 included a non-cash charge of $0.6 million recognized in connection with the settlement of disputes with the GEO Seller and non-cash gains of $0.2 million recognized in connection with our purchases of our 2023 Notes. Net other income for 2021 included gains of $6.5 million recognized on the disposal of assets and non-cash gains of $4.0 million recognized in connection with our purchases of our 2023 Notes. These 2021 gains were offset by a $9.3 million non-cash loss associated with the reclassification of unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments to net loss upon our liquidation of an international operation, which was previously recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.
Income Tax. For 2022, our income tax provision was $5.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million, which included certain non-deductible expenses and discrete tax items. This compares to an income tax benefit of $9.3 million on a pre-tax loss of $73.3 million for 2021, which included certain non-deductible expenses and discrete tax items.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive loss is the sum of reported net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive loss was $12.9 million in 2022 compared to comprehensive income of $5.4 million in 2021. With the liquidation of the international operation in 2021 noted above, we recognized other comprehensive income (resulting from the release of historical currency translation adjustments) of $9.3 million in 2021. Excluding this benefit, our reported other comprehensive loss for 2021 was $4.0 million, driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our operating segments. For 2022 and 2021, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 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. During 2021, the exchange rate for the British pound and the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.

Offshore/Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $83.0 million, or 28%, in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased demand for all of the segment's product and service offerings, particularly project-related connector and short-cycle products.
Operating Income. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $45.3 million in 2022, which included a $6.1 million gain in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation. The segment reported operating income of $15.4 million in 2021, which included severance and restructuring costs of $0.9 million. This year-over-year increase was due primarily to the reported revenue growth and recognition of the $6.1 million gain in connection with the settlement of litigation, partially offset by the impact of higher material, transportation, labor and other costs.
Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment totaled $308 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to $260 million as of December 31, 2021. Bookings during 2022 totaled $435 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x.
Well Site Services
Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $60.2 million, or 35%, in 2022 compared to 2021, driven by increased U.S. customer activity levels partially offset by the exit of U.S. thru-tubing service offerings in January 2022 (which generated revenues of approximately $20 million in 2021).
Operating Income (Loss). Our Well Site Services segment reported operating income of $4.9 million in 2022. The segment reported an operating loss of $34.5 million in 2021, which included $4.3 million in severance and restructuring costs, non-cash fixed and lease asset impairment charges of $4.2 million and a non-cash inventory impairment charge of $1.5 million. Excluding these 2021 charges, the segment's operating results improved by $29.5 million compared to the prior year due primarily to the segment's reported revenue growth and a $11.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increased labor, material and other costs.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues increased $21.3 million, or 21%, in 2022 from 2021 due primarily to increased customer demand for perforating and completion products in the United States.
Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $6.7 million in 2022, compared to an operating loss of $13.5 million in 2021, which included a non-cash inventory impairment charge of $2.1 million and $0.8 million of severance and restructuring charges. Excluding these 2021 charges, operating loss decreased $3.9 million in 2022 from the prior year due to the reported increase in revenues, partially offset by higher material, transportation, labor and other costs.
Corporate
Operating Loss. Corporate expenses in 2022 increased $8.3 million, or 26%, from 2021 due primarily to higher personnel costs, performance-based incentive compensation and professional fees, partially offset by $1.6 million of severance costs recognized in the prior-year period.

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 $32.9 million during 2022, compared to $7.2 million generated by operations during 2021.
During 2022, $34.7 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories driven by higher customer activity levels. During 2021, $17.2 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to the significant increase in activity levels in the latter part of 2021 as the global economy recovered.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during 2022 totaled $22.7 million, compared to $6.6 million used in investing activities during 2021.
As discussed under "Recent Developments," we acquired E-Flow on April 14, 2022 for net cash consideration of $8.1 million.
Capital expenditures totaled $20.3 million and $17.5 million during 2022 and 2021, respectively. These investments were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $5.9 million and $11.5 million during 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We expect to spend approximately $25 million in capital expenditures during 2023. We plan to fund these capital expenditures with available cash, internally generated funds and, if necessary, borrowings under our ABL Facility discussed below.
Financing Activities
During 2022, net cash of $20.3 million was used in financing activities, including a cash payment of $10.0 million related to the GEO Note settlement (discussed below) and the purchase of $8.7 million principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes. This compares to $19.6 million of cash used in financing activities during 2021, including our purchases of $131.4 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes for cash totaling $126.0 million and $19.0 million of net repayments under our ABL Facility. Partially offsetting these uses in 2021 was our issuance of $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes yielding net cash proceeds of $130.6 million.
On June 28, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement with the GEO Seller, which included the full and final settlement of all amounts due under the GEO Note. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on July 1, 2022, we paid the GEO Seller $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock.
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $42.0 million, which compared to $52.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Cash was used during the period to settle the GEO Note, fund the E-Flow acquisition, fund capital expenditures and purchase a portion of our 2023 Notes.
As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, $17.3 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes outstanding, $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes outstanding and other debt of $3.4 million. Our reported interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.9 million during 2022. For 2022, our contractual cash interest expense was $8.5 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 financial markets, stakeholder scrutiny of ESG matters and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In this
-39-
regard, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant disruption of global financial markets. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, this disruption 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. We are currently assessing these rules, but at this time we cannot predict the costs of implementation or any potential adverse impacts resulting from these rules. To the extent these rules are finalized as proposed, we expect that we and our customers would incur increased 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 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" and "The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy and could impose new costs on our customers' operations."
Stock Repurchase Program. On February 16, 2023, the Board of Directors 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.
Revolving Credit Facility. On February 10, 2021, we entered into the ABL Facility under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation. On March 16, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility that permitted us to incur the indebtedness represented by the 2026 Notes. On December 13, 2022, we entered into an additional technical amendment to the ABL Facility to replace the reference benchmark rate of the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (known as LIBOR) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (known as SOFR). This transition is not expected to materially impact our borrowing rate under the ABL Facility.
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 (the "ABL Agreement"). The ABL Agreement matures on February 10, 2025 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, 2022, we had $15.4 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, 2022 was $92.1 million, calculated based on the then current borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit.
2026 Notes. On March 16, 2021, we issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 16, 2021 (the "2026 Indenture"), between us and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee. Net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering, after deducting issuance costs, totaled $130.6 million. We used $120.0 million of the cash proceeds to purchase $125.0 million principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes, with the balance added to cash on-hand.
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, 2022, 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, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2018 (the "2023 Indenture"), between us and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee as of March 1, 2022. Since September 2019, we have purchased a cumulative $182.7 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes for $161.2 million in cash, with $17.3 million principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2022. On February 15, 2023, the remaining outstanding 2023 Notes were fully repaid.
Promissory Note. In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, we issued the GEO Note that was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019. Payments due under the GEO Note (original principal amount of $25.0 million) were subject to set-off, in full or in part, against certain indemnification claims related to matters occurring prior to the GEODynamics Acquisition.
-40-
We asserted indemnification claims against the GEO Seller, and the GEO Seller filed a breach of contract suit against us alleging that payments due under the GEO Note were required to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such note. We incurred settlement costs and expenses of $7.5 million related to such indemnification claims and as of June 28, 2022, had reduced the carrying amount of such note in our consolidated balance sheet to $17.5 million, which was our then-current best estimate of what was owed after set-off for indemnification matters. On June 28, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement with the GEO Seller, which included the full and final settlement of all amounts due pursuant to the GEO Note. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on July 1, 2022, we paid the GEO Seller $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock (having a market value of $10.3 million). See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Our total debt represented 18% and 20% of our combined total debt and stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

(1)As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility. The total amount available to be drawn as of December 31, 2022 was $92.1 million.
(2)Amount represents the full principal amount of the 2023 Notes together with interest payments, which were repaid on February 15, 2023.
(3)Amount represents the full principal amount of the 2026 Notes together with cash interest payments due semi-annually.
(4)Amount represents payment obligations (including implied interest) for operating leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months. Operating lease obligations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as operating lease liabilities while the right-of-use assets are included within operating lease assets.
(5)Our purchase obligations primarily relate to open purchase orders.
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, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of our product or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to the acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses we have sold. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of the businesses and, in other cases, we have indemnified the buyers of businesses.
In August 2022, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment settled outstanding litigation against certain service providers in exchange for the receipt of cash totaling $6.9 million. In connection with this settlement, we recognized a gain of $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2022.
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
-41-
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. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Tax Matters. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 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, 2022, 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.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
Our goodwill totaled $79.3 million, representing 7% of our total assets as of December 31, 2022. Our long-lived tangible assets totaled $326.9 million, representing 31% of our total assets as of December 31, 2022, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $169.8 million, representing 16% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable and inventories.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess, after impairments, of the purchase price for acquired businesses over the allocated fair value of related net assets. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we do not amortize goodwill, but rather assess 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. In the evaluation of goodwill, each reporting unit with goodwill on its balance sheet is assessed separately using relevant events and circumstances. We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit and compare that fair value to its recorded carrying value. We utilize, 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, our total market capitalization 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.
December 2020, 2021 and 2022 Assessments
As of December 1, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we had only one reporting unit – Offshore/Manufactured Products – with a goodwill balance remaining. We performed our annual quantitative assessments of goodwill for impairment, which indicated that the fair value of the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount at each date and no additional impairments were required in any period.
The valuation techniques used in these annual assessments were consistent with those used during our interim March 31, 2020 assessment for the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit. The discount rate used to value the reporting unit as of December 1, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was 15.3%, 14.5% and 15.0%, respectively. The estimated returns required by market participants decreased in our 2020, 2021 and 2022 annual assessments from the March 31, 2020 assessment given improvements in the global economy and financial markets. Holding all other assumptions and inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption for the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit would not result in a goodwill impairment in any period.
-42-
As of December 31, 2022, our market capitalization was $477 million, or $213 million below our stockholder's equity carrying value.
We continue to monitor commodity prices and other significant assumptions used in our forecasts. If we experience a prolonged decline in long-term demand for crude oil and natural gas or significant and sustained increases in commodity supplies, which serve to lower commodity prices over the long term, we will be required to update our discounted cash flow analysis and potentially be required to record a goodwill impairment in the future.
Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
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.
During 2021 and 2020, we recognized non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges totaling $4.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of certain equipment and facilities (owned and leased) to their estimated realizable value.
No indicators of impairment were identified in 2022 that would indicate that the carrying values of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets are not recoverable. Accordingly, no additional impairment losses were recorded. However, management actions or industry cyclicality and downturns may result in future changes to our estimates of projected operating cash flows, or their timing, and could potentially cause future impairment to the values of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
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 35%, 35% and 38% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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 65%, 65% and 62% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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).
-43-
Contract estimates for project-related contracts involving custom engineered products are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. Changes in assumptions that may affect future project costs and margins include production efficiencies, the complexity of the work to be performed and the availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents.
As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, contract-related estimates are reviewed regularly. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss will be incurred on the contract, the loss is recognized in the period it is identified.
Cost of goods sold includes all direct material and labor costs and those costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. As presented on our consolidated statements of operations, costs of goods sold excludes depreciation and amortization expense. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that we collect from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products.
Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost downhole are reflected as gains or losses on the disposition of assets after considering the write-off of the remaining net book value of the equipment are included within Other income, net.
Accounting for Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities and future claims for which we have made estimates of the amount of the eventual cost to liquidate such liabilities or claims. These liabilities and claims sometimes involve threatened or actual litigation where damages have been quantified and we have made an assessment of our exposure and recorded in an amount estimated to cover the expected loss. Other claims or liabilities have been estimated based on their fair value or our experience in such matters and, when appropriate, the advice of outside counsel or other outside experts. Upon the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties, our future reported financial results will be impacted by the difference between our estimates and the actual amounts paid to settle a liability. Examples of areas where we have made important estimates of future liabilities include income taxes, litigation, insurance claims, and contractual claims and obligations.
Income Taxes
We follow 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, 2022, our total investment, including earnings and profits, in foreign subsidiaries (except for our Canadian operations) is considered to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. We account for the U.S. tax effect of global intangible low-taxed income earned by foreign subsidiaries in the period that such income is earned.
We record a valuation allowance in the reporting period when we believe that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset will not be realized. This assessment requires analysis of changes in tax laws, available positive and negative evidence, including consideration of losses in recent years, reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future income, assessment of future business and tax planning strategies. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded valuation allowances primarily with respect to foreign and U.S. state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves assessing uncertainties regarding the application of complex tax regulations. We account for uncertain tax positions using a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We record an additional charge in our provision for taxes during the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is below the expected level of the ultimate assessment.
-44-
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. 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 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 2021 and 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020.

We provide a broad range of manufactured products and services to customers in the energy, industrial and military sectors through our Offshore/Manufactured Products, Downhole Technologies and Well Site Services segments. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and gas industry, particularly our customers' willingness to invest capital in the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Our customers' capital spending programs are generally based on their cash flows and their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices, economic growth, commodity demand and estimates of resource production as well as regulatory pressures around ESG considerations. As a result, demand for our products and services is sensitive to expectations regarding future crude oil and natural gas prices.
Recent Developments
In March of 2020, the spot price of WTI crude oil declined over 50% in response to actual and forecasted reductions in global demand for crude oil due to the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with announcements by Saudi Arabia and Russia of plans to increase crude oil production. As demand for most of our products and services depends substantially on the level of capital expenditures by the oil and natural gas industry, these conditions caused rapid reductions to most of our customers' drilling, completion and production activities and their related spending on our products and services, particularly those supporting activities in the U.S. shale play regions, until the supply/demand imbalances eased. During 2021, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines progressed and many government-imposed restrictions were relaxed or rescinded. However, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions continue and the macro outlook remains uncertain. The most direct impacts that we continue to experience are decreased pricing for our products and services due to the timing and rate of activity increases, the demand for crude oil, market pressures driving increased capital discipline by our customers and supply chain disruptions. While the prices of and demand for crude oil have recovered from the lows seen in the initial stages of the pandemic, further outbreaks or the emergence of new strains of the COVID-19 virus, such as the Omicron variant, could result in the reimposition of domestic and international regulations directing individuals to stay at home, limiting travel, requiring facility closures and imposing quarantines. Widespread implementation of these or similar restrictions could result in commodity price volatility, reduced demand for our products and services, as well as delays in or inability to fulfill our contractual obligations to customers, logistic constraints, increases in our costs and workforce and raw material shortages. We continue to monitor the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees, customers, critical suppliers and other stakeholders. The ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with resulting governmental restrictions and related impacts on the prices of and demand for crude oil, the global economy and capital markets remains uncertain. In addition, uncertainty remains regarding the timing of demand recovery to pre-COVID-19 levels and the willingness of operators to invest in U.S. land-based drilling, completion and production activities given regulatory pressures around ESG considerations.
Following the unprecedented events commencing in March 2020, we immediately began aggressive implementation of cost reduction initiatives in an effort to reduce our expenditures to protect the financial health of our company, stabilize our cash flows and protect liquidity. In addition, as discussed in more detail below and under "– ABL Facility," "– 2023 Notes," and "– 2026 Notes," we completed two significant financing transactions during the first quarter of 2021, which served to extend the maturity profile of our debt and provide greater access to liquidity.
On February 10, 2021, we entered into a new $125.0 million ABL Facility under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation that includes eligible U.S. customer accounts receivable and inventory. The ABL Facility matures in February 2025. Concurrent with entering into the ABL Facility, our former senior secured revolving credit facility was
-34-
terminated. On March 16, 2021, we secured an amendment with our bank group that permitted us to incur the indebtedness represented by the 2026 Notes discussed below.
On March 19, 2021, we issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes. Net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering, after deducting issuance costs, totaled $130.6 million. We used $120.0 million of the cash proceeds to purchase $125.0 million principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes at a discount, with the balance added to cash on-hand.
During 2021, we made strategic decisions within our Well Site Services segment to exit various underperforming service lines and regions both domestically and internationally. During the year ended December 31, 2021, these equipment/service offerings and regions generated revenues of approximately $20 million, but with net losses incurred. These service line and region exits will temper our revenues going forward but should improve our segment margins.

On February 11, 2022, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices closed at $97.50 per barrel, $93.10 per barrel and $4.04 per MMBtu, respectively. Additionally, as presented in more detail below, the U.S. drilling rig count reported on February 11, 2022 was 635 rigs, 14% above the fourth quarter 2021 average.
Overview
Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude oil, along with a belief that regulatory access will be allowed, are factors that will continue to influence our customers' willingness to invest in U.S. shale play developments as they allocate capital and strive for financial discipline and spending levels that are within their capital budgets and cash flows. Expectations for the longer-term price for Brent crude oil will continue to influence our customers' spending related to global offshore drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.
Crude oil prices and levels of demand for crude oil are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including global uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing domestic or international crude oil production, changes in governmental regulations, potential geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions with China, sanctions on Iranian production and tensions with Iran, civil unrest in Libya and Venezuela, use of alternative fuels, improved vehicle fuel efficiency, a more sustained movement to electric vehicles and/or the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances. Capital investment by our customers recently reached a 15-year low due to many of these factors. This underinvestment, coupled with potential instability in foreign producing nations, could lead to a sustained recovery in WTI and Brent crude oil prices. In any event, crude oil price improvements will depend upon the balance of global supply and demand, with a corresponding continued reduction in global inventories.
Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has been limited due to 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 North America.
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.
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
-35-
and other applications outside the traditional energy industry. 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 41% of Offshore/Manufactured Products segment sales in 2021 were driven by our customers' capital spending for products used in exploratory and developmental drilling, greenfield offshore production infrastructure, and subsea pipeline tie-in and repair system applications, along with upgraded equipment for existing offshore drilling rigs and other vessels (referred to herein as "project-driven products"). 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 short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas.
Backlog reported by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment increased to $260 million as of December 31, 2021 from $219 million as of December 31, 2020. Bookings totaled $345 million in 2021, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x. The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

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, which requires ongoing technological and product developments.
Our Well Site Services segment provides completion services and, to a much lesser extent, land drilling services, in the United States (including the Gulf of Mexico) and the rest of the world. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Well Site Services results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of its operations. 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.
-36-
Demand for our completion 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 average U.S. and international drilling rig count, as measured by Baker Hughes Company, 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, 2021, oil-directed drilling accounted for 82% of the total U.S. rig count – with the balance largely natural gas related. Due to the unprecedented decline in crude oil prices in March and April of 2020, drilling and completion activity in the United States collapsed – with the active drilling rig count declining from 790 rigs as of February 29, 2020 to a trough of 244 rigs as of August 14, 2020. From this trough, the U.S. rig count has increased to 586 rigs as of December 31, 2021. As can be derived from the table above, the average U.S. rig count for 2021 increased by 45 rigs, or 10%, compared to the average for 2020. However, quarterly averages between periods was more volatile.
Reduced demand for our products and services, coupled with a reduction in the prices we charge our customers for our products and services, has adversely affected our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. If the pricing environment for crude oil declines from current levels, our customers may be required to again reduce their capital expenditures, causing declines in the demand for, and prices, of our products and services, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in 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, 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. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies."
Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include but are not limited to the general global economic environment, 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, 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, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020
We reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $64.0 million, or $1.06 per share. The reported 2021 loss included: non-cash impairment charges of $7.7 million ($6.1 million after-tax, or $0.10 per share) associated with write-downs of inventories and fixed and lease assets; $7.5 million ($5.9 million after-tax, or $0.10 per share) of severance and restructuring costs; a non-cash loss of $9.3 million ($9.3 million after-tax, or $0.15 per share) reclassified from other comprehensive loss upon exit of an international operation; and non-cash gains of $4.0 million ($3.2 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) associated with convertible debt extinguishment.
These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $468.4 million, or $7.83 per share. The reported loss included: non-cash impairment charges totaling $449.7 million ($421.5 million after-tax, or $7.04 per share) related to write downs of goodwill, inventories, fixed and lease assets; $9.1 million ($7.2 million after-tax, or $0.12 per share) of severance and restructuring charges; non-cash gains of $10.7 million ($8.5 million after-tax, or $0.14 per share) associated with convertible debt extinguishment; and discrete tax benefits of $16.4 million, or $0.27 per share, associated with the carryback of tax losses allowed under the CARES Act.
Our reported results of operations reflect the negative impact of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing uncertainties related to future crude oil demand and supply and, to a lesser extent, supply chain disruptions. Customer-driven activity has improved since the low levels of 2020, but uncertainty remains around the willingness of operators (our customers) to invest in U.S. land-based drilling, completion and production activities given regulatory pressures around ESG considerations. If the pricing environment for crude oil declines, our customers may be required to further reduce their planned capital expenditures, causing declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products and services.
During 2021, we recognized an aggregate $8.8 million reduction of payroll tax expense (within cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expense) as part of the CARES Act employee retention credit program. During 2020, we also recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $16.4 million related to U.S. net operating loss carrybacks under provisions of the CARES Act.
Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2021 decreased $64.9 million, or 10%, from 2020.
Consolidated product revenues in 2021 decreased $32.0 million, or 10%, from 2020, driven primarily by reduced project-driven customer demand for connector products, partially offset by the impact of higher U.S. land-based customer activity. Consolidated service revenues in 2021 decreased $32.9 million, or 11%, from 2020 due primarily to higher customer spending in the U.S. shale play regions in the first quarter of 2020, prior to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results. As can be derived from the following table, 59% of our consolidated revenues in 2021 were derived from sales of our short-cycle product and service offerings, which compares to 54% in the prior year.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) decreased $91.4 million, or 16%, in 2021 compared to 2020. Cost of revenues in 2021 and 2020 included $3.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively, of non-cash inventory impairment charges. Excluding these charges, consolidated cost of revenues decreased $63.8 million, or 12%, from the prior year.
Consolidated product costs were $246.6 million in 2021, which included a $2.1 million non-cash inventory impairment charge. This compares to consolidated product costs of $287.6 million in 2020, which included $17.9 million of non-cash inventory impairment charges. Excluding these charges, consolidated product costs decreased $25.2 million, or 9%, from the prior year due to reduced sales volumes. Consolidated service costs were $223.8 million in 2021, which included a non-cash inventory impairment charge of $1.5 million. This compares to consolidated services costs of $274.2 million in 2020, which included non-cash inventory impairment charges of $13.3 million. Excluding these charges, consolidated service costs decreased $38.6 million, or 15%, from the prior year due to the decrease in revenues and implemented cost reduction measures.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $10.4 million, or 11%, in 2021 from 2020 due primarily to reductions in personnel, compensation levels, professional services and bad debt expense along with other implemented cost reduction measures.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $17.8 million, or 18%, in 2021 compared to the prior year, driven primarily by reduced capital investments made in our Well Site Services segment in recent years. Note 13, "Segments and Related Information," to our Consolidated Financial Statements presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.
Impairments of Goodwill. During the first quarter of 2020, our Offshore/Manufactured Products, Downhole Technologies and Well Site Services operations recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $86.5 million, $192.5 million and $127.1 million, respectively, arising from, among other factors, the significant decline in our stock price (and that of most of our peers) and reduced growth rate expectations given weak energy market conditions resulting from the demand destruction caused by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the estimated returns required by market participants increased materially in our March 31, 2020 assessment from our assessment as of December 1, 2019, resulting in higher discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
Impairments of Fixed and Lease Assets. During 2021, our Well Site Services segment recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4.2 million to reduce the carrying value of certain of the segment's fixed and lease assets to their estimated realizable value. During 2020, our Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of certain of the segments' fixed and lease assets to their estimated realizable value.
Operating Loss. Our consolidated operating loss was $64.8 million in 2021, which included $7.7 million of non-cash asset impairment charges and $7.5 million of severance and restructuring costs. This compares to a consolidated operating loss of $534.3 million recognized in 2020, which included the impact of $449.7 million non-cash asset impairment charges and $9.1 million in severance and restructuring costs. Excluding these charges, consolidated operating loss decreased $26.1 million or 34%.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $10.2 million in 2021, which compares to $13.9 million in 2020. Interest expense, which included amortization of deferred financing costs in 2021 and amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs in 2020, as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 5% in 2021 and 6% in 2020. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of ASU 2020-06, which changed our method of accounting for the 2023 Notes upon adoption (effective January 1, 2021).
Other Income, Net. Other income, net for 2021 included gains of $6.5 million recognized on the disposal of assets and non-cash gains of $4.0 million recognized in connection with our purchases of $131.4 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes for $126.0 million in cash. These gains were offset by a $9.3 million non-cash loss associated with the reclassification of unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments to net loss upon our liquidation of an international operation, which was previously recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. In 2020, we recognized non-cash gains of $10.7 million in connection with our purchases of $34.9 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes for $20.1 million in cash and recognized gains of $2.4 million on the disposal of assets.
Income Tax. For 2021, our income tax benefit was $9.3 million, or 13% of the pre-tax loss of $73.3 million, which included a non-cash foreign currency loss of $9.3 million and other expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes. This compares to an income tax benefit of $65.9 million, or 12% of the pre-tax loss of $534.3 million for 2020, which included non-cash goodwill charges (approximately $313.1 million) and other expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes.
-41-
In 2020, the impact of these non-deductible expenses was partially offset by a $16.4 million discrete tax benefit related to the carryback of U.S. net operating losses under the CARES Act.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive loss is the sum of reported net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income was $5.4 million in 2021 compared to loss of $3.6 million in 2020. With the liquidation of an international operation in 2021 noted above, we recognized other comprehensive income (resulting from the release of historical currency translation adjustments) of $9.3 million in 2021. Excluding this benefit, our reported other comprehensive loss was $4.0 million, driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our operating segments. For 2021 and 2020, recurring currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 2021, the exchange rate for the British pound and the Brazilian real both weakened compared to the U.S. dollar. During 2020, the exchange rate for the British pound strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar while the exchange rate for the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar.
Segment Operating Results
Offshore/Manufactured Products
Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues declined $41.6 million, or 12%, in 2021 compared to 2020 due primarily to a reduction in sales of connector products and service activities, partially offset by an increase in demand for short-cycle products.
Operating Income (Loss). Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $15.4 million in 2021, which included $0.9 million of severance and restructuring charges. The segment reported an operating loss of $80.8 million in 2020, which included severance and restructuring costs of $1.4 million and non-cash impairment charges of $86.5 million related to goodwill and $16.2 million related to inventory. Excluding these charges, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment operating income decreased $7.0 million, or 30%, in 2021 compared to 2020, with the impact of the year-over-year decrease in revenues partially offset by implemented cost reduction measures.
Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment totaled $260 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of 19% from December 31, 2020. Bookings during 2021 totaled $345 million, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x.
Downhole Technologies
Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues increased $5.6 million, or 6%, in 2021 from the prior year due primarily to higher U.S. land-based customer completion activity.
Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $13.5 million in 2021, which included a non-cash inventory impairment charge of $2.1 million and $0.8 million of severance and restructuring charges. The segment reported an operating loss of $224.4 million in the prior year, which included severance and restructuring costs of $2.0 million and non-cash impairment charges of $192.5 million related to goodwill, $5.9 million related to inventory and $3.6 million related to fixed and lease assets. Excluding these charges, operating loss decreased $9.8 million, or 48%, in 2021 from the prior year due primarily to implemented cost reduction measures.
Well Site Services
Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues decreased $28.9 million, or 14%, in 2021 compared to the prior year, driven by higher customer completion and production activity during the first quarter of 2020, prior to the rapid decline in activity triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating Loss. Our Well Site Services segment reported an operating loss of $34.5 million in 2021, which included $4.3 million in severance and restructuring costs, non-cash fixed and lease asset impairment charges of $4.2 million and a non-cash inventory impairment charge of $1.5 million. The segment reported an operating loss of $193.4 million in 2020, which included severance and restructuring costs of $4.3 million and non-cash impairment charges of $127.1 million related to goodwill, $9.0 million related to inventory and $8.8 million related to fixed assets. Excluding these charges, our Well Site Services operating loss decreased $19.6 million, or 44%, from the prior year, with the impact of a $13.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and implemented cost reduction measures partially offset by the impact of the decrease in revenues.
-42-
Corporate
Operating Loss. Corporate expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 10%, in 2021 compared to the prior year, reflecting the impact of implemented cost reduction measures.
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 totaling $7.2 million were generated during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $132.8 million generated by operations during 2020.
During 2021, $17.2 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to the significant increase in activity levels in the latter part of 2021 as the global economy recovered. During 2020, $69.7 million was provided from net working capital decreases, primarily due to collections of accounts receivable and an increase in deferred revenue, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Additionally, during 2020, we received cash of $41.3 million related to carryback claims regarding U.S. net operating losses generated in 2018 and 2019 that were filed in accordance with the rules and procedures of the CARES Act.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during 2021 totaled $6.6 million, compared to $3.7 million used in investing activities during 2020.
Capital expenditures totaled $17.5 million and $12.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These investments were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $11.5 million and $9.6 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We expect to spend approximately $25 million in capital expenditures during 2022. Whether planned expenditures will actually be made in 2022 depends on industry conditions, project approvals and schedules, vendor delivery timing, free cash flow generation and careful monitoring of our levels of liquidity. We plan to fund these capital expenditures with available cash, internally generated funds and, if necessary, borrowings under our ABL Facility.
Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash of $19.6 million was used in financing activities including our purchases of $131.4 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes for cash totaling $126.0 million and $19.0 million of net repayments under our ABL Facility. Partially offsetting these uses was our issuance of $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes yielding net cash proceeds of $130.6 million. This compares to $65.0 million of cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of $32.9 million in net repayments under our former revolving credit facility and our purchases of $34.9 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes for $20.1 million.
As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $52.9 million, which compared to $72.0 million as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility (discussed below), $26.0 million principal amount of our 2023 Notes outstanding, $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes outstanding and other debt of $21.7 million. Our reported interest expense, which appropriately included amortization of deferred financing costs of $2.3 million during 2021, was above our contractual cash interest expense. For 2021, our contractual cash interest expense was $7.9 million, or approximately 4% 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
-43-
global financial markets, stakeholder scrutiny of ESG matters and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In this regard, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant disruption of global financial markets. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, this disruption (which in 2020 was exacerbated by the global crude oil supply and demand imbalance and resulting decline in crude oil prices) 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.
ABL Facility. On February 10, 2021, we entered into the ABL Facility under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation. Concurrent with entering into the ABL Facility, we terminated our former revolving credit facility. On March 16, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility that permitted us to incur the indebtedness represented by the 2026 Notes.
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 (the "ABL Agreement"). The ABL Agreement matures on February 10, 2025 with a springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of any outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $17.5 million (excluding the unsecured promissory note to the seller of GEODynamics).
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 our domestic assets (other than real property) and the stock of certain foreign subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the ABL Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.25% and subject to a LIBOR floor rate of 0.50%, or at a base rate plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, in each case based on average borrowing availability. We must also pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on unused commitments under the ABL Agreement.
The ABL Agreement places restrictions on our 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 2023 Notes and 2026 Notes), 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 all amounts then outstanding. The ABL Agreement also requires us to satisfy and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for specified periods of time: in the event that availability under the ABL Agreement is less than the greater of 15% of the borrowing base and $14.1 million; to complete certain specified transactions; or if an event of default has occurred and is continuing.
See Note 6, "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, 2021, we had $16.1 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, 2021 was $48.9 million, calculated based on the current borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit.
2026 Notes. On March 16, 2021, we issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 16, 2021 (the "2026 Indenture"), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering, after deducting issuance costs, totaled $130.6 million. We used $120.0 million of the cash proceeds to purchase $125.0 million principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes, with the balance added to cash on-hand.
The 2026 Indenture contains certain events of default, including certain defaults by the Company with respect to other indebtedness of at least $40.0 million.
See Note 6, "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, 2021, 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, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 30, 2018 (the "2023 Indenture"), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.
The 2023 Indenture contains certain events of default, including certain defaults by the Company with respect to other indebtedness of at least $40.0 million.
-44-
During 2021, we purchased $131.4 million principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes for $126.0 million in cash. Since September 2019, we have purchased a cumulative $174.0 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes for $152.8 million in cash.
See Note 6, "Long-term Debt," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for further information regarding the 2023 Notes. As of December 31, 2021, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2023 Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the 2023 Notes, had been met.
Promissory Note. In connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition, we issued a $25.0 million promissory note that was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019. Payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in full or in part, against certain indemnification claims related to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of GEODynamics. We have provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the seller of GEODynamics (the "Seller"), and the Seller has filed a breach of contract suit against us and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries alleging that payments due under the promissory note are required to be, but have not been, repaid in accordance with the terms of such note. We have incurred settlement costs and expenses of $7.5 million related to such indemnification claims and believe that the maturity date of such note is extended until the resolution of such indemnity claims and that we are permitted to set-off the principal amount owed by the amount of such costs and expenses. Accordingly, we have reduced the carrying amount of such note in our consolidated balance sheet to $17.5 million as of December 31, 2021, which is our current best estimate of what is owed after set-off for indemnification matters. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Our total debt represented 20% of our combined total debt and stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
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, 2021, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

____________________
(1)As of December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility. The total amount available to be drawn as of December 31, 2021 was $48.9 million.
(2)Amount represents the full principal amount of the 2023 Notes together with cash interest payments due semi-annually.
(3)Amount represents the full principal amount of the 2026 Notes together with cash interest payments due semi-annually.
(4)Amount represents the net principal amount of the $25 million promissory note together with accrued and unpaid interest as of February 22, 2022. The $25 million promissory note (together with accrued and unpaid interest) issued in connection with the GEODynamics Acquisition was scheduled to mature on July 12, 2019. We believe that payments due under the promissory note are subject to set-off, in full or in part, against certain claims related to matters occurring prior to the GEODynamics Acquisition. As more fully described in Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have provided notice to and asserted indemnification claims against the Seller, and the Seller has filed a breach of contract suit against us alleging that payments due under the promissory note are required to be, but have not been, repaid in accordance with the terms of the note. As a result, we believe that the maturity date of the note is extended until the resolution of the claims and we expect that the amount ultimately paid in respect of such note will be reduced as a result of these indemnification claims. Accordingly, we have reduced the carrying amount of such note in our consolidated balance sheet to $17.5 million as of December 31, 2021, which is our current best estimate of what is owed after set-off for indemnification matters.
(5)Amount represents payment obligations (including implied interest) for operating leases with an initial term of greater than twelve months. Operating lease obligations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as operating lease liabilities while the right-of-use assets are included within operating lease assets.
-45-
(6)Our purchase obligations primarily relate to open purchase orders in our Offshore/Manufactured Products and Completion Services operations.
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, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of our product or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to the acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses we have sold. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of the businesses and, in other cases, we have indemnified the buyers of businesses. In addition, the Seller in the GEODynamics Acquisition filed a breach of contract suit against us in federal court in August 2020, in which the Seller alleged, among other contractual breaches, that it was entitled to approximately $19 million in U.S. federal income tax carryback claims we received under the provisions of the CARES Act legislation. On February 15, 2021, the Seller dismissed the federal lawsuit without prejudice and refiled its lawsuit in state court. On September 20, 2021, a motion by the Seller for partial summary judgement was denied by the state court. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 14, "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. See Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Tax Matters. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," and Note 9, "Income Taxes," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information with respect to tax matters.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), which require that 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.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
Our goodwill totaled $76.4 million, representing 7% of our total assets as of December 31, 2021. Our long-lived tangible assets totaled $364.0 million, representing 34% of our total assets as of December 31, 2021, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $185.7 million, representing 17% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable and inventories.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess, after impairments, of the purchase price for acquired businesses over the allocated fair value of related net assets. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we do not amortize goodwill, but rather assess 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. In the evaluation of goodwill, each reporting unit with goodwill on its balance sheet
-46-
is assessed separately using relevant events and circumstances. We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit and compare that fair value to its recorded carrying value. We utilize, 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, our total market capitalization 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.
March 2020 Impairments
In March 2020, the spot price of WTI crude oil declined over 50% in response to actual and forecasted reductions in global demand stemming from the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with announcements by Saudi Arabia and Russia of plans to increase crude oil production. Following this unprecedented collapse in crude oil prices, the spot price of Brent and WTI crude oil closed at $15 and $21 per barrel, respectively, on March 31, 2020. Consistent with oilfield service industry peers, our stock price also declined dramatically during the first quarter of 2020, with our market capitalization falling substantially below the carrying value of stockholders' equity.
Given the significance of these March 2020 events, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2020. This interim assessment indicated that the fair value of each of the reporting units was less than their respective carrying amounts due to, among other factors, the significant decline in our stock price and that of our peers and reduced growth rate expectations given weak energy market conditions resulting from the demand destruction caused by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the estimated returns required by market participants increased materially in our March 31, 2020 assessment from the assessment performed as of December 1, 2019, resulting in higher discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
Significant assumptions and estimates used in the income approach include, among others, estimated future net annual cash flows and discount rates for each reporting unit, current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates and historical data. These estimates relied upon significant management judgment, particularly given the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on activity levels and commodity prices as well as future global economic growth.
Based on this quantitative assessment as of March 31, 2020, we concluded that goodwill recorded in the Completion Services and Downhole Technologies businesses was fully impaired while goodwill recorded in the Offshore/Manufactured Products business was partially impaired. We therefore recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charges totaling $406.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.
The discount rates used to value our reporting units as of March 31, 2020 ranged between 16.8% and 18.5%. Holding all other assumptions and inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis constant, a 50-basis point increase in the discount rate assumption for the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit would have increased the goodwill impairment charge by approximately $10 million.
December 2020 and 2021 Assessments
As of December 1, 2021 and 2020, we had only one reporting unit – Offshore/Manufactured Products – with a goodwill balance remaining. We performed our annual quantitative assessments of goodwill for impairment, which indicated that the fair value of the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount at each date and no additional impairments were required in either period.
The valuation techniques used in these annual assessments were consistent with those used during the March 31, 2020 assessment for the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit. The discount rate used to value the reporting unit as of December 1, 2020 and 2021 was 15.3% and 14.5%, respectively. The estimated returns required by market participants decreased in our 2020 and 2021 annual assessments from the March 31, 2020 assessment given improvements in the global economy and financial markets. Holding all other assumptions and inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate assumption for the Offshore/Manufactured Products reporting unit would not result in a goodwill impairment in either period.
As of December 31, 2021, our market capitalization was $305 million, or $391 million below our equity carrying value.

We continue to monitor commodity prices and other significant assumptions used in our forecasts. If we experience a prolonged decline in long-term demand for crude oil and natural gas or significant and sustained increases in commodity supplies, which serve to lower commodity prices over the long term, we will be required to update our discounted cash flow analysis and potentially be required to record a goodwill impairment in the future.
Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets
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.
During 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recognized non-cash long-lived asset impairment charges totaling $4.2 million, $12.4 million and $33.7 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of certain equipment and facilities (owned and leased) to their estimated realizable value.
Based on our impairment assessment in 2021, the carrying values of our other long-lived tangible and intangible assets are recoverable. Accordingly, no additional impairment losses were recorded. However, management actions or industry cyclicality and downturns may result in future changes to our estimates of projected operating cash flows, or their timing, and could potentially cause future impairment to the values of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
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 35%, 38% and 34% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 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 65%, 62% and 66% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 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.
Proceeds from customers for the cost of oilfield rental equipment that is damaged or lost downhole are reflected as gains or losses on the disposition of assets after considering the write-off of the remaining net book value of the equipment are included within Other income, net.
Accounting for Contingencies
We have contingent liabilities and future claims for which we have made estimates of the amount of the eventual cost to liquidate such liabilities or claims. These liabilities and claims sometimes involve threatened or actual litigation where damages have been quantified and we have made an assessment of our exposure and recorded in an amount estimated to cover the expected loss. Other claims or liabilities have been estimated based on their fair value or our experience in such matters and, when appropriate, the advice of outside counsel or other outside experts. Upon the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties, our future reported financial results will be impacted by the difference between our estimates and the actual amounts paid to settle a liability. Examples of areas where we have made important estimates of future liabilities include duties, income taxes, litigation, insurance claims and contractual claims and obligations.
Income Taxes
We follow 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.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which allowed the carryback of U.S. federal net operating losses. Prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, such tax losses could only be carried forward.
As of December 31, 2021, our total investment, including earnings and profits, in foreign subsidiaries is considered to be permanently reinvested outside the United States. We account for the U.S. tax effect of global intangible low-taxed income earned by foreign subsidiaries in the period that such income is earned.
We record a valuation allowance in the reporting period when we believe that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset will not be realized. This assessment requires analysis of changes in tax laws, available positive and negative evidence, including consideration of losses in recent years, reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future income, assessment of future business and tax planning strategies. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recorded valuation allowances primarily with respect to foreign and U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves assessing uncertainties regarding the application of complex tax regulations. We account for uncertain tax positions using a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We record an additional charge in our provision for taxes during the period in which we determine that the recorded tax liability is below the expected level of the ultimate assessment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, 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.
In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The updated standard eliminated the requirement that the carrying value of convertible debt instruments, such as the 2023 Notes, be allocated between the debt and equity components. As permitted under the guidance, we adopted the standard 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 an $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%. The 2026 Notes issued on March 19, 2021, have been accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this standard.
