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.

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.

Segment Operating Results
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.

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.
