Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global oilfield products company, serving the drilling, subsea, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes products and engages in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services that complement the Company’s product offering.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Our investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but do not control operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, with our share of the net income reported in “Earnings from equity investment” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. These investments are included in “Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of equity earnings are reported within operating income (loss), as the investee’s operations are integral to the operations of the Company.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018 (the “Annual Report”).
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018
Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not completed as of that date. As such, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Refer to Note 3 Revenues for additional information related to our revenue recognition policies and incremental disclosures following the adoption of Topic 606.
Modification Accounting for Stock Compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share based payment award as a modification. Under the new ASU, an entity should apply modification accounting unless the fair value, the vesting conditions, and the classification as equity or liability of the modified award all remain the same as the original award. We applied the update prospectively beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this new guidance had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

Clarifying the Definition of a Business. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business, in an effort to clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We applied the update prospectively beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this new guidance had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Taxes on Intra-Entity Asset Transfers. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 Income Tax (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Previous GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset was sold to an outside party. This new guidance eliminated this exception and requires the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory to be recognized when the transfer occurs. As required, we applied this update on a modified retrospective basis resulting in a $1.0 million direct cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.
Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Cash Flow Statement (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice, including: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. We adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The only issue currently relevant to the Company is distributions received from equity method investees, where the new guidance allows an accounting policy election between the cumulative earnings approach and the nature of the distribution approach. We will continue to use the cumulative earnings approach. Therefore, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Restricted Cash Presentation. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We applied the update prospectively beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Implementation Costs Related to a Cloud Computing Arrangement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred by an entity related to a cloud computing arrangement with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Accordingly, this guidance requires an entity to capitalize certain implementation costs incurred and then amortize them over the term of the cloud hosting arrangement. Furthermore, this guidance also requires an entity to present the expense, cash flows, and capitalized implementation costs in the same financial statement line items as the associated hosting service. This new guidance will take effect for public companies with fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
Fair Value Measurement Disclosure. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement.  This new guidance eliminated, modified and added certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The amended disclosure requirements are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. However, we currently expect that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stranded Tax Effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. U.S. GAAP requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates, with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even in situations in which the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income (referred to as “stranded tax effects”). The amendments in this ASU allow a specific exception for reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. In addition, the amendments in this update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The standard will take effect for public companies with fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  Under this new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases (financing and operating) with terms greater than twelve months. The classification as either a financing or operating lease will determine whether lease expense is recognized on an effective interest method basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.
We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the pending adoption of the new guidance and have put in place an implementation team responsible for:
•
reviewing existing lease contracts and identifying the relevant accounting impacts of the new standard;
•
providing internal training and awareness related to the new lease standard to key stakeholders throughout our organization;
•
implementing new processes and controls in anticipation of adopting the new guidance; and
•
inputting lease information into a new cloud based lease software management system.
This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2019 and we plan to adopt this new standard using the modified retrospective transition method. Based on our current lease portfolio, we anticipate the new guidance will require us to reflect additional assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet; however, we have not yet finalized our estimation of such amount, and we are still evaluating the overall impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Revenues
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts that were not completed as of that date. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic revenue recognition guidance.
The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Furthermore, we expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our revenue and gross profit on an ongoing basis.
The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on our consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2018:

In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income and balance sheet is shown in the tables below.
As of September 30, 2018, there were no contracts in progress that were impacted by the change in timing of revenue recognition required by the adoption of ASC 606. As such, there was no impact to the income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Revenue Recognition Policies
Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Contract Identification. We account for a contract when it is approved, both parties are committed, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are defined, the contract has commercial substance and collection of consideration is probable.
Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer under Topic 606. The majority of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation to provide agreed-upon products or services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. In accordance with Topic 606, we do not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost which is included in Cost of Sales. Furthermore, since our customer payment terms are short-term in nature, we have also elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects that the customer’s payment period will be less than one year in duration.

Contract Value. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration specified in the contracts with our customers and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We have elected the practical expedient to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes.
The estimation of total revenue from a customer contract is subject to elements of variable consideration. Certain customers may receive rebates or discounts which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration as the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimate of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historic, current, forecast) that is reasonably available to us.
Timing of Recognition. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer. Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses.
Revenue from goods transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 98% and 97% of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The majority of this revenue is product sales, which are generally recognized when items are shipped from our facilities and title passes to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized for products is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on historical data.
Revenue from goods transferred to customers over time accounted for 2% and 3% of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is primarily related to contracts in our Subsea and Production Equipment product lines. Recognition over time for these contracts is supported by our assessment of the products supplied as having no alternative use to us and by clauses in the contracts that provide us with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
We use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer which occurs as costs are incurred on the contract. The amount of revenue recognized is calculated based on the ratio of costs incurred to-date compared to total estimated costs which requires management to calculate reasonably dependable estimates of total contract costs. Whenever revisions of estimated contract costs and contract values indicate that the contract costs will exceed estimated revenues, thus creating a loss, a provision for the total estimated loss is recorded in that period. We recognize revenue and cost of sales each period based upon the advancement of the work-in-progress unless the stage of completion is insufficient to enable a reasonably certain forecast of profit to be established. In such cases, no profit is recognized during the period.
Accounting estimates during the course of projects may change, primarily related to our remotely operated vehicles (“ROVs”) which may take longer to manufacture. The effect of such a change, which can be upward as well as downward, is accounted for in the period of change, and the cumulative income recognized to date is adjusted to reflect the latest estimates. These revisions to estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Contracts are sometimes modified to account for changes in product specifications or requirements. Most of our contract modifications are for goods and services that are not distinct from the existing contract. As such, these modifications are accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract, and therefore, the effect of the modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. No adjustment to any one contract was material to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
We sell our products through a number of channels including a direct sales force, marketing representatives, and distributors. We have elected to expense sales commissions when incurred as the amortization period would be less than one year. These costs are recorded within cost of sales.
Portfolio Approach. We have elected to apply the new revenue standard to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics as we reasonably expect that the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within that portfolio.
Disaggregated Revenue

Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, we record a contract liability. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2018:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our contract assets decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to the timing of billings in our Production Equipment product line and our contract liabilities increased by $2.2 million primarily due to a down payment received for a customer order in our subsea product line.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized revenue of $7.5 million that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, our Subsea Technologies product line received an order to supply a submarine rescue vehicle and related equipment which we expect to deliver in 2020. We use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress on this contract to recognize revenue over time. Other than this contract, all of our other contracts are less than one year in duration. As such, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
4. Acquisitions & Dispositions
2018 Acquisition of ESP Completion Technologies LLC
On July 2, 2018, we acquired certain assets of ESP Completion Technologies LLC ("ESPCT"), a subsidiary of C&J Energy Services, for cash consideration of $8.0 million. ESPCT consists of a portfolio of early stage technologies that maximize the run life of artificial lift systems, primarily electric submersible pumps. This acquisition is included in the Completions segment. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
2018 Disposition of Forum Subsea Rentals
On January 3, 2018, we contributed our subsea rentals business to Ashtead Technology to create a leading independent provider of subsea survey and equipment rental services. In exchange, we received a 40% interest in the combined business (“Ashtead”), a cash payment of £2.7 million British Pounds and a note receivable from Ashtead of £3.0 million British Pounds. Our 40% interest in Ashtead is accounted for as an equity method investment and reported as Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the first quarter of 2018, we recognized a gain of $33.5 million as a result of the deconsolidation of our Forum Subsea Rentals business, which is classified as Gain on contribution of subsea rentals business in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). This gain is equal to the sum of the consideration received, which includes the fair value of our 40% interest in Ashtead, £2.7 million British Pounds in cash, and the £3.0 million British Pounds

note receivable from Ashtead, less the $18.1 million carrying value of the Forum subsea rentals assets at the time of closing. The fair value of our 40% interest in Ashtead was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows of the combined entity as of January 3, 2018. The difference between the fair value of our 40% interest in Ashtead of $43.8 million and the book value of the underlying net assets resulted in a basis difference, which was allocated to fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill based on their respective fair values as of January 3, 2018. The basis difference allocated to fixed assets and intangible assets will be amortized through equity earnings (loss) over the estimated life of the respective assets.
Pro forma results of operations for this transaction have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements.
2017 Acquisition of Global Tubing
On October 2, 2017, we acquired all of the remaining ownership interests of Global Tubing, LLC (“Global Tubing”) from our joint venture partner and management for total consideration of approximately $290.3 million. We originally invested in Global Tubing with the joint venture partner and management in 2013. Prior to acquiring the remaining ownership interest in Global Tubing, we reported this investment using the equity method of accounting. The financial results for Global Tubing are reported in the Completions segment. Located in Dayton, Texas, Global Tubing provides coiled tubing, coiled line pipe and related services to customers worldwide. We believe that this strategic acquisition will further enhance our focus and strategy of expansion in the North American completions market. Global Tubing contributed revenues of $36.2 million and $112.7 million respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Refer to Note 4. Acquisitions in our Annual Report for pro forma results of operations for this acquisition.

We perform our annual impairment tests of goodwill as of October 1, or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred.
There was no impairment of goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
In the second quarter of 2017, there was a decline in oil prices and a developing consensus view that production from lower cost oil basins would be sufficient to meet anticipated demand for a longer period, delaying the need for production from higher cost basins. With this indication of further delays in the recovery of the offshore market, we performed an impairment test and determined that the carrying value of the goodwill in our Subsea reporting unit was impaired resulting in a $68.0 million charge in the second quarter 2017. Following this impairment charge, the Subsea reporting unit has no remaining balance in goodwill. There was no indication an impairment may have occurred in the other reporting units.
The fair values used in the impairment analysis were determined using the net present value of the expected future cash flows for the Subsea reporting unit. For the goodwill impairment analysis, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires significant assumptions and estimates about future operations. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our current budget as well as our strategic plans and management’s beliefs about future activity levels. The discount rate we used for future periods could change substantially if the cost of debt or equity were to significantly increase or decrease, or if we were to choose different comparable companies in determining the appropriate discount rate for our reporting units. Forecasted cash flows in future periods were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered long-term earnings growth rates. 
Accumulated impairment losses on goodwill were $236.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Senior Notes Due 2021
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and mature on October 1, 2021. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations, and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility and rank junior to, among other indebtedness, the Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Credit Facility.
Credit Facility
On October 30, 2017, we amended and restated our existing credit facility (such amended and restated credit facility, the “Credit Facility”) to, among other things, increase revolving credit commitments from $140.0 million to $300.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $25.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of our domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $30.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $3.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million. The Credit Facility matures in July 2021, but if our outstanding Notes due October 2021 are refinanced or replaced with indebtedness maturing in or after February 2023, the final maturity of the Credit Facility will automatically extend to October 2022.
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our balances of receivables and inventory. As of September 30, 2018, our total borrowing base was $299.4 million, of which $68.0 million was drawn and $12.4 million was used for security of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in availability of $219.0 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the LIBOR rate or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the rate of interest per annum determined from time to time by Wells Fargo as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in San Francisco, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case plus an applicable margin. Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at Forum Canada’s option, either (a) the CDOR rate or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported from time to time by Thomson Reuters and (ii) the CDOR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR and CDOR loans will initially range from 1.75% to 2.25%, depending upon average excess availability under the Credit Facility. After the first quarter ending on or after March 31, 2018 in which our total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.00:1.00, the applicable margin for LIBOR and CDOR loans will range from 1.50% to 2.00%, depending upon average excess availability under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 3.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% per annum on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% per annum on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%. After the first quarter ending on or after March 31, 2018 in which our total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.00:1.00, the commitment fees will range from 0.25% to 0.375%, depending upon average usage of the Credit Facility.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the borrowing base and $20.0 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such thresholds for at least 60 consecutive days.
Deferred Loan Costs
We have incurred loan costs that have been deferred and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes and the Amended Credit Facility. 
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of various capital leases of equipment.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. We had $12.9 million and $7.9 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
We recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a tax benefit of $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a $12.4 million tax benefit as compared to a tax benefit of $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. Our estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21% and 35% for the periods in 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily as a result of the impact of U.S. Tax Reform as discussed further below, losses in the U.K. for which the recording of a tax benefit is not available and higher projected state income taxes. The nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $15.6 million income tax benefit from adjusting the provisional impact of tax reform initially recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the tax benefit was negatively impacted by a $68.0 million impairment loss related to non-tax deductible goodwill. Furthermore, the tax benefit or expense recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of U.S. and non-U.S. earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“U.S. Tax Reform”), a comprehensive U.S. tax reform package that, effective January 1, 2018, among other things, lowered the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and moved the country towards a territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory tax on previously deferred earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded provisional amounts related to the effects of U.S. Tax Reform including the recognition of liabilities for taxes on mandatory deemed repatriation of non-U.S. earnings and re-measurement of deferred taxes based on the new U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21%. We updated these provisional amounts in the first nine months of 2018 based on additional guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service resulting in an income tax benefit of $15.6 million. This adjustment to our provisional estimate of the effects of U.S. Tax Reform results in an overall net benefit of $5.5 million.
As we do not have all the necessary information to analyze all income tax effects of the new rules, these amounts remain provisional and we believe they represent a reasonable estimate of the accounting implications of U.S. Tax Reform. The ultimate impact of U.S. Tax Reform continues to be subject to adjustment as further guidance is provided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service regarding the application of the new U.S. corporate income tax laws. We expect to complete our detailed analysis no later than the fourth quarter of 2018.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, including the effect of U.S. tax reform, tax-planning and recent operating results.
We continue to provide for a valuation allowance for our U.K. deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that they will not be realized, and we have determined that our other deferred tax assets are currently more likely than not realizable. In a future period, if we were to determine that we would not be able to realize some or all of our deferred tax assets in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance which would increase the provision for income taxes.

9. Fair Value Measurements
At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $68.0 million and $108.4 million, respectively, of debt outstanding under the Credit Facility which incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our Senior Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At September 30, 2018, the fair value and the carrying value of our Senior Notes approximated $402.0 million and $401.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2017, the fair value and the carrying value of our Senior Notes approximated $402.0 million and $401.6 million, respectively.
There were no other outstanding financial assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 that required measuring the amounts at fair value. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions that may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are considered to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. The reserves accrued at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, are immaterial. It is management’s opinion that the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes approximately 3.8 million shares that were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The calculation of diluted loss per share excludes all potentially dilutive shares for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 because there were net losses for these periods.
13. Stockholders' Equity
Share-based compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 504,930 stock options, 1,220,694 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units and 160,010 performance share awards with a market condition.
The stock options granted have an exercise price of $12.00 per share and vest ratably over 4 years. The 1,220,694 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units include 1,108,194 shares granted to employees that vest ratably over 4 years and 112,500 shares granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors that have a vesting period of 12 months.
The performance share awards granted may settle for between zero and two shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares issued pursuant to the performance share award agreements will be determined based on the total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock as compared to a group of peer companies, measured annually over a one year, two year and three year performance period.
14. Related Party Transactions
The Company has sold and purchased equipment and services to and from certain affiliates of our directors. The dollar amounts related to these related party activities are not material to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
15. Subsequent Event

On October 8, 2018, we acquired 100% of the stock of Houston Global Heat Transfer LLC (“GHT”) for $52.0 million in cash consideration, subject to customary adjustments for actual working capital conveyed. In addition, the acquisition agreement contains an earn-out arrangement whereby additional cash consideration will be due to the former owners of GHT if certain conditions are met in 2019 and 2020. This acquisition will be included in the Completions segment. Based in Houston, Texas, GHT designs, engineers, and manufactures premium industrial heat exchanger and cooling systems used primarily on hydraulic fracturing equipment. GHT’s flagship product, the Jumbotron, is an innovative cube-style radiator that substantially reduces customer maintenance expense.

Overview
We are a global oilfield products company, serving the drilling, subsea, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. We design, manufacture and distribute products, and engage in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services that complement our product offering. Our product offering includes a mix of frequently replaced consumable products and highly engineered capital products that are used in the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas. Our consumable products are used in drilling, well construction and completions activities, within the supporting infrastructure, and at processing centers and refineries. Our engineered capital products are directed at: drilling rig equipment for new rigs, upgrades and refurbishment projects; subsea construction and development projects; the placement of production equipment on new producing wells; pressure pumping equipment; and downstream capital projects. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, approximately 80% of our revenue was derived from consumable products and activity-based equipment, while the balance was primarily derived from capital products with a small amount from rental and other services.
We seek to design, manufacture and supply reliable products that create value for our diverse customer base, which includes, among others, oil and natural gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, subsea construction and service companies, and pipeline and refinery operators.
We operate three business segments that cover all stages of the well cycle. A summary of the products and services offered by each segment is as follows:
•
Drilling & Subsea segment. This segment designs and manufactures products and provides related services to the drilling, energy subsea construction and services markets, and other markets such as alternative energy, defense and communications. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) capital equipment and a broad line of expendable drilling products consumed in the drilling process; and (ii) subsea remotely operated vehicles and trenchers, specialty components and tooling, products used in subsea pipeline infrastructure, and a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rental items.
•
Completions segment. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related services to the well construction, completion, stimulation and intervention markets. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) well construction casing and cementing equipment, protectors for artificial lift equipment and cables used in completions, composite plugs used for zonal isolation in hydraulic fracturing and wireline flow-control products; and (ii) capital and consumable products sold to the pressure pumping, hydraulic fracturing and flowback services markets, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, pump consumables, cooling systems and flow iron as well as coiled tubing, wireline cable, and pressure control equipment used in the well completion and intervention service markets.
•
Production & Infrastructure segment. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related equipment and services for production and infrastructure markets. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) engineered process systems, production equipment and related field services, as well as oil and produced water treatment equipment; and (ii) a wide range of industrial valves focused on serving upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and natural gas customers as well as power and other general industries.
Market Conditions
The level of demand for our products is directly related to activity levels and the capital and operating budgets of our customers, which in turn are heavily influenced by energy prices and the expectation as to future price trends. In addition, the availability of existing capital equipment adequate to serve exploration and production requirements, or lack thereof, drives demand for our capital equipment products.
The probability of any cyclical change in energy prices and the extent and duration of such a change are difficult to predict. In November 2016, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other unaffiliated countries announced that their production levels would be capped or reduced. In June 2018, the OPEC coalition agreed to a measured lifting of the reductions. Oil prices have strengthened in 2018 and risen to levels last seen in 2014. These increases in current prices have led to higher drilling and completions activity and higher spending by our customers, primarily in North America, compared to the last few years. The volume of rigs drilling for oil and natural gas in North America and the resulting level of well completions are drivers for our revenue from this region. The number of active rigs has increased substantially from the low point reached in the second quarter of 2016, and the intensity of hydraulic fracturing and other completion activity has also increased substantially. Exploration and production operators continue to have improved well economics derived from concentrating activity in basins with the best returns on investment and employing enhanced drilling and completion techniques. This heightened level of activity led to our increased revenues and orders in 2017 through the third quarter of 2018, principally from the sale of consumable products. More recently, these favorable results have been tempered due to pipeline capacity constraints in the Permian basin. The inability of

31

operators to transport additional production from this basin is causing a reduction in activity. Additional pipeline capacity is projected to come online sometime in 2019.
Although the demand for capital equipment in the completions space has increased, the availability of newer or upgraded onshore and offshore drilling rigs has limited demand for drilling capital equipment. Drilling and completions activity in higher cost areas, especially offshore and in some international regions, has lagged the North America onshore activity recovery. Early signs of an increase in drilling and completions activity in international areas are beginning to emerge, but offshore and subsea activity remains at historically low levels. The revenue of our Valve Solutions product line is also influenced by energy prices, but to a lesser extent than the remainder of our business. As a result, their operating and financial results tend to be less cyclical.
In March 2018, the President of the United States issued a proclamation imposing a global tariff on imports of select steel products. The President subsequently proposed an additional tariff on imports from China. The government of China and the European Union have each responded with tariffs on U.S. goods. These tariffs have caused our cost of raw materials to increase and their ultimate impact on our business and operations is uncertain. However, in response, we are taking actions to mitigate the impact including diversifying our supply chain.

The average U.S. rig count for the third quarter of 2018 was basically unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2018 and 11% higher compared to the third quarter of 2017. The U.S. rig count reached a trough of 404 rigs in the second quarter of 2016. Since then, the number of working rigs has increased to 1,054 rigs as of September 30, 2018. A substantial portion of our revenue is impacted by the level of rig activity and the number of wells completed. While the U.S. land rig count has continued to recover, it remains low compared to historical norms.

We made one acquisition in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and two acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, we contributed our subsea rentals business to Ashtead in exchange for a 40% interest in the combined business in the first quarter of 2018. Due to these changes, our results of operations for the third quarter of 2018 may not be comparable to historical results of operations for the third quarter of 2017. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions for additional information.

34

Revenue
Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $68.3 million, or 34.4%, to $267.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. In general, the increase in revenue is due to the higher market activity resulting from higher oil prices. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our Drilling & Subsea, Completions, and Production & Infrastructure segments comprised 20.4%, 43.9%, and 35.7% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 27.5%, 29.7%, and 42.8% of total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 0.3%, to $54.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. This change includes a $5.3 million decrease in revenue for our subsea product line primarily due to the contribution of our subsea rentals business to Ashtead in exchange for a 40% interest in the combined business. This decrease was mostly offset by a $5.1 million increase in revenues for our drilling product line attributable to higher sales volumes for consumable products as a result of the 11% increase in U.S. rig count compared to the third quarter of 2017.
Completions segment — Revenue increased $58.5 million, or 97.4%, to $118.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Segment revenue in 2018 includes $36.2 million of revenue from Global Tubing which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions for additional information. Sales of our well stimulation and intervention products increased $14.8 million due to higher sales volumes of pressure pumping products and revenue contributions from new products. The remaining $7.5 million increase in revenues was related to higher sales for our Downhole product line primarily attributable to continued growth in sales volumes for our artificial lift products including the revenue contribution from ESPCT which was acquired in the third quarter of 2018.
Production & Infrastructure segment — Revenue increased $10.3 million, or 12.1%, to $95.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in oil and natural gas operators’ budgets and resulting infrastructure spending have led to increased sales of our valve products and surface production equipment. Approximately half of the increase is attributable to higher sales volumes of our activity-based surface production equipment to exploration and production operators as a result of higher well completions activity. The remaining increase is due to higher sales volumes of valve products, particularly sales into the North America oil and gas market.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 improved $15.7 million from a loss of $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to income of $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the segment operating margin percentage of 1.3% represents an improvement from the (6.2)% operating margin percentage for three months ended September 30, 2017. The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change in operating margin percentage for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment was (15.6)% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 which is relatively flat compared to the (16.2)% margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Operating margins were negatively impacted by approximately $4.8 million and $2.0 million of restructuring charges related to severance and facility closures for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This increase in restructuring costs was more than offset by a decrease in employee related costs and facilities expenses resulting from the cost reduction actions implemented in the third quarter of 2018.
Completions segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment improved to 13.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The improvement in operating margins is due to increased operating leverage on higher volumes, especially on higher sales of our well stimulation and intervention and downhole products as discussed above. In addition, operating margin was positively impacted by the late 2017 acquisition of the remaining ownership interest of Global Tubing which was previously reported as an equity method investment in the third quarter of 2017.
Production & Infrastructure segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment was 5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 which was consistent with the comparable three months ended September 30, 2017. The 24.4% increase in segment operating income was driven by the increase in revenue described above.

35

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate decreased by $0.5 million, or 4.9%, to $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a decrease in variable compensation expense partially offset by an increase in employee severance costs. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for general management and management of finance and administration, legal, human resources; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.
Other items not included in segment operating loss
Several items are not included in segment operating loss, but are included in total operating loss. These items include transaction expenses, goodwill and intangible asset impairments and losses on the disposal of assets. Transaction expenses relate to legal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are not considered to be part of segment operating loss. These costs were $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
In the third quarter of 2017, we made the decision to exit a specific product within the Subsea product line and recognized a $0.6 million impairment charge to write-off the related intangible assets. There were no goodwill or intangible asset impairment losses recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense and foreign exchange losses (gains). We incurred $7.9 million of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $1.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The foreign exchange losses (gains) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
Taxes
We recorded a tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a $7.8 million tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 is different than the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate as a result of U.S. Tax Reform, losses in the U.K. for which the recording of a tax benefit is not available and higher projected state income taxes. See Note 8 Income Taxes for additional information on the impact of U.S. Tax Reform. The tax benefit or expense recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of U.S. and non-U.S. earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

We made one acquisition in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and two acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, we contributed our subsea rentals business into Ashtead in exchange for a 40% interest in the combined business in the first quarter of 2018. Due to these changes, our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 may not be comparable to historical results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions for additional information.

37

Revenue
Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $220.4 million, or 38.6%, to $791.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In general, the increase in revenue is due to the higher market activity resulting from higher oil prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our Drilling & Subsea, Completions, and Production & Infrastructure segments comprised 21.1%, 44.7%, and 34.2% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 31.6%, 27.1%, and 41.3% of total revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue decreased $13.8 million, or 7.6%, to $166.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Approximately $15.8 million of the decrease relates to lower sales in our subsea product line primarily due to the contribution of our subsea rentals business to Ashtead in exchange for a 40% interest in the combined business as well as lower sales volumes for our specialty subsea products attributable to reduced investment in global offshore projects. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in sales of our drilling products related to the increase in U.S. rig count in the first nine months of 2018.
Completions segment — Revenue increased $200.7 million, or 127.9%, to $357.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Segment revenue in 2018 includes $112.7 million of revenue from Global Tubing which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017 as well as incremental revenue from Multilift and ESPCT which were acquired in the second quarter of 2017 and third quarter of 2018, respectively. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions for additional information. The remaining increase was driven by a $63.0 million increase in sales of our well stimulation and intervention products due to higher sales volumes of pressure pumping products attributable to higher completions spending by exploration and production companies in the U.S. market.
Production & Infrastructure segment — Revenue increased $34.6 million, or 14.7%, to $270.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in oil and gas operators budgets and resulting infrastructure spending have led to increased sales of our valve products and surface production equipment. Approximately $19.8 million of the increase is due to higher sales volumes of valve products, particularly sales into the North America oil and gas market. The remaining $14.8 million increase is attributable to higher sales volumes of our activity-based surface production equipment to exploration and production operators.
Segment operating loss and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 improved $41.8 million from a loss of $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to a loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the segment operating margin percentage of (0.1)% represents an improvement from the (7.5)% operating margin percentage for nine months ended September 30, 2017. The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating loss by revenue for the period. The change in operating margin percentage for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment was (14.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to (13.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Operating margins were negatively impacted by approximately $6.4 million and $2.6 million of restructuring related charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This increase in restructuring costs was partially offset by a decrease in employee related costs and facilities expenses resulting from cost reduction actions.
Completions segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment improved to 10.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from (0.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The improvement in operating margin percentage is due to increased operating leverage on higher volumes, especially on higher sales of our well stimulation and intervention products as discussed above. In addition, operating margin was positively impacted by the late 2017 acquisition of the remaining ownership interest of Global Tubing which was previously reported as an equity method investment for the first nine months of 2017. The improvement in operating margins was partially offset by $4.9 million of charges to write-down obsolete product inventory in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Production & Infrastructure segment — The operating margin percentage for this segment improved to 4.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from 3.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The slight improvement in operating margin percentage was driven by increased operating leverage on higher sales volumes for our valves products partially offset by incremental costs associated with international expansion and lower margins on sales of surface production equipment.

38

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate increased by $1.3 million, or 5.4%, to $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in employee payroll and severance costs partially offset by a decrease in variable compensation expense. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for general management and management of finance and administration, legal, human resources; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.
Other items not included in segment operating loss
Several items are not included in segment operating loss, but are included in total operating loss. These items include transaction expenses, goodwill and intangible asset impairments and losses (gains) on the disposal of assets. Transaction expenses relate to legal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are not considered to be part of segment operating loss. These costs were $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
In the second quarter of 2018, we made the decision to exit specific products within the Subsea and Downhole product lines. As a result, we recognized $14.5 million of impairment losses on certain intangible assets (primarily customer relationships).
In the second quarter 2017, there was a decline in oil prices and a developing consensus view that production from lower cost oil basins would be sufficient to meet anticipated demand for a longer period, delaying the need for production from higher cost basins. With this indication of further delays in the recovery of the offshore market, we performed an impairment test and determined that the carrying value of the goodwill in our Subsea reporting unit was impaired resulting in a $68.0 million charge in the second quarter 2017.
In addition, in the third quarter of 2017, we made the decision to exit a specific product within the Subsea product line and recognized a $0.6 million impairment charge to write-off the related intangible assets.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange losses (gains) and a gain recognized on the contribution of our subsea rentals business. We incurred $23.9 million of interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $4.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The foreign exchange losses (gains) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. In the first quarter of 2018, we recognized a gain of $33.5 million as a result of the deconsolidation of our Forum Subsea Rentals business. Refer to Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions for additional information.
Taxes
We recorded a $12.4 million tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to a tax benefit of $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The tax benefit for 2018 is significantly different than the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate as a result of U.S. Tax Reform, losses in the U.K. for which the recording of a tax benefit is not available and higher projected state income taxes. In addition, the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $15.6 million income tax benefit from adjusting the provisional impact of tax reform initially recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017. See Note 8 Income Taxes for additional information on the impact of U.S. Tax Reform. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the tax benefit was negatively impacted by a $68.0 million impairment loss related to non-tax deductible goodwill. Furthermore, the tax benefit or expense recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of U.S. and non-U.S. earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Liquidity and capital resources
Sources and uses of liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit and our credit facility and senior notes described below. Our primary uses of capital have been for acquisitions, ongoing maintenance and growth capital expenditures, inventories and sales on credit to our customers. We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to continue to access outside sources of capital.
At September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.9 million, availability under our Credit Facility of $219.0 million and total debt of $466.9 million. Our 2018 capital expenditures consist of, among other items, investments in certain manufacturing facilities, replacing end of life machinery and equipment, and continuing the implementation of our enterprise resource planning solution globally. This budget does not include expenditures for potential business acquisitions. We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations for the foreseeable future.
Although we do not budget for acquisitions, pursuing growth through acquisitions is a significant part of our business strategy. We expanded and diversified our product portfolio with the acquisition of three businesses in 2017 for total cash and stock consideration of approximately $340.7 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, we completed one acquisition in the third quarter of 2018 and one acquisition in October of 2018. For additional information, see Note 4 Acquisitions & Dispositions and Note 15 Subsequent Event. We continue to actively review acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis, and we may fund future acquisitions with cash and/or equity. Our ability to make significant additional acquisitions for cash may require us to pursue additional equity or debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are presented below (in millions):

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Due to improved operating results, net income adjusted for non-cash items provided $60.8 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $8.8 million of cash used for the same period in 2017. However, higher investments in working capital used cash of $85.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in working capital in the first nine months of 2018 is primarily due to increases in inventory to support revenue growth.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $18.7 million and $66.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $8 million of cash consideration paid for one acquisition which was more than offset by $9.2 million of proceeds from the sale of business, property and equipment. In comparison, net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $47.9 million of cash consideration paid for two acquisitions. Capital expenditures were $19.9 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

40

Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $44.2 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from a $40.7 million increase in net repayments of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
Senior Notes Due 2021
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and mature on October 1, 2021. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facility and rank junior to, among other indebtedness, the Credit Facility to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Credit Facility.
Credit Facility
On October 30, 2017, we amended and restated the Credit Facility to, among other things, increase revolving credit commitments from $140.0 million to $300.0 million, including up to $30.0 million available to certain Canadian subsidiaries of the Company for loans in United States or Canadian dollars, $25.0 million available for letters of credit issued for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and $3.0 million available for letters of credit issued for the account of Canadian subsidiaries of the Company. Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the United States, Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the United States and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future receivables and fluctuations in our inventory. The Credit Facility matures in July 2021, but if our outstanding Notes due October 2021 are refinanced or replaced with indebtedness maturing in or after February 2023, the final maturity of the 2017 Credit Facility will automatically extend to October 2022.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 10.0% of the borrowing base and $20.0 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such thresholds for at least 60 consecutive days.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of September 30, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet instruments or financial arrangements, other than operating leases and letters of credit entered into in the ordinary course of business.
Contractual obligations
Except for net repayments under the Credit Facility, as of September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the Annual Report.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Beginning January 1, 2018, we implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  Although the new revenue standard is not expected to have a material impact on our ongoing net income, we did implement new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard and changes to our processes related to revenue recognition. There have been no other material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For recent accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
We are currently exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency and changes in interest rates. From time to time, we may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce our market risk, but we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2017. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7(a), “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of September 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018 due to a previously disclosed material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. This material weakness was identified and discussed in “Part II - Item 9A - Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In conducting management's evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, we have excluded Global Tubing, LLC, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination in the fourth quarter of 2017. The total assets and total revenues of Global Tubing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, constituted approximately 9% of our total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2018 and approximately 14% of our total consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We identified the following material weakness in the operation of our internal control over financial reporting:
As previously disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not maintain effective controls over the development of fair value measurements utilized in the application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, and for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. Specifically, our review procedures over the development and application of inputs, assumptions, and calculations used in fair value measurements associated with business combinations and goodwill impairment testing did not operate at an appropriate level of precision commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to the gain realized upon the consolidation of Global Tubing, LLC which was recorded prior to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness did not result in a restatement of any of the Company’s previously filed consolidated financial statements. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the identified material weakness has not been remediated; however, management has taken steps towards the remediation plan outlined below.
Remediation Plans
Our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, has initiated a plan to remediate the material weakness previously identified in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017. These plans include the implementation of additional controls and procedures to address the development of fair value measurements utilized in the application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, and for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. These new controls and procedures are in the process of being implemented and will be tested when we perform our annual goodwill impairment testing for the year ending December 31, 2018 and upon completion of valuation procedures associated with business acquisitions in 2018. Until management has tested the

42

 

remediation and concluded that the controls are operating effectively as designed, the material weakness will continue to exist.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weakness remediation efforts identified above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
