Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” "FET," “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production. We are an environmentally and socially responsible company headquartered in Houston, Texas with manufacturing, distribution and service facilities strategically located throughout the world.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.
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 six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 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, 2020, which are included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2021.
COVID-19 Impacts
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and world economies which led to significant reductions in demand for crude oil. As a result, many companies in the energy industry have sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. During the first half of 2021, distribution of vaccines resulted in reopening of certain economies and increasing demand for oil and natural gas. However, ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks and new variants of the virus continue to cause disruptions in global supply chains which have led to inflationary pressures for certain goods and services. We anticipate that our liquidity, financial condition and future results of operations will continue to be impacted by ongoing developments from the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 2021
Income Tax. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Disclosure Framework - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Convertible Debt. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in-capital. In addition, this update also makes targeted changes to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-

share guidance. This guidance may be adopted through either a modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. However, we currently expect that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized 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 receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Disaggregated Revenue
Refer to Note 11 Business Segments for disaggregated revenue by product line and geography.
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, we record a contract liability 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2021 (in thousands):
| June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | Increase / (Decrease) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| $ | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accrued revenue | $ | 1,205 | $ | 1,687 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings | 8,879 | 8,516 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Contract assets | $ | 10,084 | $ | 10,203 | $ | (119) | (1) | % | |||||||||||||||
| Deferred revenue | $ | 6,547 | $ | 7,863 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Billings in excess of costs and profits recognized | 5,505 | 1,817 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities | $ | 12,052 | $ | 9,680 | $ | 2,372 | 25 | % | |||||||||||||||
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our contract assets decreased by $0.1 million and our contract liabilities increased by $2.4 million due to the timing of billings for significant projects within our Subsea product line.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $7.4 million of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.
As substantially all of our contracts are less than one year in duration, 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. Dispositions
2020 Disposition of ABZ and Quadrant Valves
On December 31, 2020, we sold certain assets of our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands for cash consideration of $104.6 million. This transaction was accounted for as a disposition of a business. We recognized a gain on disposition of $88.4 million based on the difference in cash received less $14.9 million of net book value of assets sold and $1.3 million of cash paid in the second quarter 2021 for the net working capital settlement related to this disposition. Pro forma results of operations for this disposition have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

7. Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets with definite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated preventative actions taken around the world to mitigate its spread caused oil demand to deteriorate and economic activity to decrease. As a result, oil prices declined significantly during the period and created an extremely challenging market for all sub-sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. In addition, responses to the spread of COVID-19, including significant government restrictions on movement, resulted in sharp declines in global economic activity.
As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we determined that certain long-lived assets were impaired as their carrying values exceeded their fair values. The amount of the impairment charges were measured as the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the assets. The fair value was determined either through analysis of discounted future cash flows or, for certain real estate, based on a third party's sales price estimate (classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).
Following is a summary of impairment charges recognized in our segments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

2025 Notes
In August 2020, we exchanged $315.5 million principal amount of our previous 6.25% unsecured notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) for new 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2021 Notes with the new 2025 Notes recorded at fair value on the transaction date. We estimated the fair value of the 2025 Notes to be $282.6 million at the issuance date, resulting in a $32.9 million discount (“Debt Discount”) at issuance. As a result, we recognized a $28.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt that reflects the difference in the $314.8 million net carrying value of the 2021 Notes exchanged, including debt issuance costs and unamortized debt premium, less the $282.6 million estimated fair value of 2025 Notes and a $3.5 million early participation fee paid to bondholders that participated in the exchange. The Debt Discount is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2025 Notes pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. A portion of the 2025 Notes, initially equal to $150.0 million total principal amount, is mandatorily convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 37.0370 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes converted, equivalent to a conversion price of $27.00 per share, subject, however, to the condition that the average of the daily trading prices for the common stock over the preceding 20-trading day period is at least $30.00 per share. Holders of the 2025 Notes also have optional conversion rights in the event that the Company elects to redeem the 2025 Notes in cash and at the final maturity of the new notes. Any interest that the Company elects to pay in additional notes are also subject to the mandatory and optional conversion rights.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $58.0 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $56.7 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $51.6 million, resulting in a $5.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Credit Facility
In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Notes, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"). Following such amendment, our Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $45.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $25.0 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”).
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. Such eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory serve as priority collateral for the Credit Facility, which is also secured on a second lien basis by substantially all of the Company's other assets. The amount of eligible inventory included in the borrowing base is restricted to the lesser of $130.0 million (subject to a quarterly reduction of $0.5 million that started on October 1, 2020) and 80.0% of the total borrowing base. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of June 30, 2021, our total borrowing base was $140.6 million, of which no amounts were drawn and $14.8 million was used for security of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $125.8 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 2.50% or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.50%. The U.S. line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its prime rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at Forum Canada’s option, either (a) the CDOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 2.50% or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.50%. The Canadian line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CDOR rate plus 1.00% and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.75%.

The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
The Credit Facility is currently scheduled to mature on October 30, 2022. If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $31.3 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. Furthermore, the Credit Facility includes an obligation to prepay outstanding loans with cash on hand in excess of certain thresholds and includes a cross-default to the 2025 Notes.
Deferred Loan Costs
We have incurred loan costs that have been deferred and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes and the Credit Facility. In the first quarter of 2020, we wrote-off $1.8 million of deferred loan costs for the termination of previous discussions related to a potential exchange offer for our 2021 Notes.
Other Debt
Other debt consists primarily of various finance 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 $14.8 million and $15.6 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
9. Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a tax expense of $1.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared to a tax benefit of $0.4 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a $16.6 million benefit related to a carryback claim for U.S. federal tax losses based on provisions in the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided relief to corporate taxpayers by permitting a five-year carryback of 2018-2020 NOLs, increased the 30% limitation on interest expense deductibility to 50% of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020, and accelerated refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards, among other provisions. The tax effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period in which the law is enacted.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax 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, tax-planning and recent operating results. As of June 30, 2021, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021.

10. Fair Value Measurements
The Company had zero and $13.1 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Credit Facility 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 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At June 30, 2021, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $257.0 million and $231.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $200.3 million and $279.3 million, respectively.
There were no other outstanding financial assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 six months ended June 30, 2021.

12. 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, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such 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 believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, 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.

For all periods presented, we excluded all potentially dilutive restricted shares, stock options and the assumed conversion of the 2025 Notes in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred for these periods.
14. Stockholders' Equity
Stock-based compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 73,839 restricted stock units that vest ratably over three years. The Company also granted 66,524 contingent restricted stock units that vest ratably over three years dependent upon achieving a minimum stock price of $23.49 for 20 trading days during each performance period.
Liability-classified awards
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 66,524 cash-settled phantom stock units that vest ratably over three years. These awards have a maximum payout that is calculated based on five times the stock price on the date of grant.
The Company also granted 73,839 cash-settled contingent phantom stock units that vest ratably over three years dependent upon achieving a minimum stock price of $23.49 for 20 trading days during each performance period.

Reverse stock split
In order to bring the Company into compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock. The Company's stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split at the annual meeting of stockholders on May 12, 2020.

(Unaudited)
The effective time of the Reverse Stock Split was after market close on November 9, 2020, with the common stock trading on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “FET,” at the market open on November 10, 2020. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any stockholder who would have been entitled to a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares.
Following the completion of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 296,000,000 to 14,800,000. Unless otherwise indicated, the number of shares of common stock outstanding and per-share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split. The par value of our common stock remains at $0.01 per share.
15. Related Party Transactions
The Company has sold and purchased inventory, services and fixed assets to and from certain affiliates of certain directors. The dollar amounts of these related party activities are not significant to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Market Conditions
The level of demand for our products is directly related to the activity levels, and the capital and operating budgets of our customers, which in turn are heavily influenced by energy prices and expectations 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.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated actions taken around the world to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 caused unprecedented declines in economic activity, energy demand and oil and natural gas prices. In response, OPEC+ implemented significant reductions in oil production and North American exploration and production companies aggressively reduced drilling and completion activities. The extreme volatility and lower price environment in 2020 created a very challenging market for all sub-sectors of the oil and natural gas industry, including those in which the Company competes.
During the first half of 2021, distribution of vaccines resulted in reopening of certain economies and increasing demand for oil and natural gas. In addition, oil supply has been impacted by ongoing constraints by OPEC+ and capital discipline by North American exploration and production companies. As a result of these supply and demand factors, commodity prices have increased substantially in the first half of 2021. However, ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks and new variants of the virus continue to cause disruptions in global supply chains which have led to inflationary pressures for certain goods and services.
Our revenues are highly correlated to the U.S. drilling rig count which has increased to 470 rigs as of the end of the second quarter of 2021 from a low of 244 rigs in August 2020. Furthermore, the level of active hydraulic fracturing fleets also increased substantially in the first half of 2021 in order to meet increasing oil demand. Due to market conditions, publicly owned exploration and production companies in North America remain under pressure to generate positive cash flows and constrain capital and maintenance expenditures. In contrast, privately owned exploration and production companies in North America have increased their drilling and completions activity levels
18
in response to the higher oil and natural gas price environment. In addition, consolidation of exploration and production and service companies has continued in 2021.
While activity levels in international regions, as well as global offshore and subsea activity, were also impacted by COVID-19 related activity disruptions, international revenue for our drilling and subsea capital equipment offerings have recently increased due to an improved outlook for our international drilling customers and the diversification of our subsea product line revenue outside of the oil and natural gas industry.
Demand for products in our Valve Solutions product line is driven by capital projects and maintenance spending in the upstream, midstream and downstream markets. As such, revenue for our Valve Solutions product line has also been negatively affected by lower energy prices and the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy.
On December 31, 2020, we sold assets pertaining to our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands for total consideration of $104.6 million and recognized a gain on disposition of $88.4 million. The disposition of these brands resulted in a substantial decrease in our Valve Solutions product line’s revenue compared to the prior year.
Although we experienced some operational inefficiencies, our manufacturing facilities and business operations have not experienced work stoppages due to COVID-19 or associated government regulations. However, in response to the decline in demand for our products and decreases in revenue, we implemented significant cost reduction actions, including exiting facilities, lowering headcount, reducing salaries, suspending the Company’s matching contribution to the U.S. and Canada defined contribution retirement plans, and furloughing select employee groups. Certain facility closures and headcount reduction efforts continued in the first half of 2021.

Revenue
Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $137.4 million, an increase of $24.1 million, or 21.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our Drilling & Downhole, Completions, and Production segments comprised 44.8%, 33.9%, and 21.3% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 41.7%, 15.4%, and 42.9% of our total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The overall increase in revenue is primarily related to higher sales volumes due to improving market conditions in the second quarter 2021 compared to the second quarter 2020 which was negatively impacted by the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling & Downhole segment — Revenue was $61.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $14.4 million, or 30.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was driven by a $7.7 million, or 38.3%, increase in revenue for our Drilling Technologies product line due to higher sales volumes of handling tools into international markets and higher sales of consumable products as a result of the improving U.S. activity levels in the second quarter 2021. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line increased by $3.9 million, primarily due to higher sales volumes of artificial lift products due to the increase in the number of well completions and workover activity in the second quarter 2021 compared to 2020. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line increased by $2.8 million primarily due to higher replacement part sales in the second quarter 2021 compared to the second quarter 2020, which was negatively impacted by the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Completions segment — Revenue was $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $28.9 million, or 164.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This significant improvement includes revenue increases of $15.8 million and $13.1 million for our Stimulation & Intervention and Coiled Tubing product lines, respectively. These higher revenue levels were driven by increasing U.S. hydraulic fracturing and well intervention service activity levels in the second quarter 2021 compared to a rapidly declining market in the second quarter 2020 when service companies were idling equipment in response to historically low levels of oil demand at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Production segment — Revenue was $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $19.3 million, or 39.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease includes a $9.7 million decline from the fourth quarter 2020 divestiture of our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands. The remaining decline was driven by a $7.5 million decline in sales volumes of our other valve brands, primarily due to lower sales into the North America downstream and midstream markets, and a $2.0 million decrease in revenue for our Production Equipment product line from lower sales volumes of our surface production equipment.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $10.0 million, a $25.5 million improvement compared to a loss of $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, segment operating margin percentage was (7.3)% compared to (31.3)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling & Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $2.7 million, or 4.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $9.4 million, or (19.9)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $12.1 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit from the 30.5% increase in segment revenues. In addition, segment operating income increased due to lower severance and restructuring costs as well as lower employee and facility related costs due to headcount, salary and other cost reductions implemented in 2020.
Completions segment — Segment operating loss was $0.4 million, or (0.8)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a segment operating loss of $17.8 million, or (101.3)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $17.4 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit from the 164.6% increase in revenues discussed above and a $2.3 million reduction in inventory write-downs compared to three months ended June 30, 2020.
Production segment — Segment operating loss was $4.0 million, or (13.8)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $1.1 million, or (2.2)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Segment operating results were negatively impacted by the reduction in gross profit from the 39.6% decline in revenue discussed above, including the fourth quarter 2020 disposition of our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands. However, this decline in gross profit was mostly offset by reductions in employee and facility related costs due to headcount, salary and other cost reductions implemented in 2020.
22
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a $1.1 million increase compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily related to higher costs associated with variable compensation plans for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; 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 impairments of intangible assets, property and equipment, and gain on the disposal of assets and other. For further information related to impairments of intangible assets, property and equipment, refer to Note 7 Impairments of Long-Lived Assets.
Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange losses (gains) and other, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, and deferred loan costs written off. We incurred $7.8 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $1.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to higher non-cash amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 ("2025 Notes") and a higher interest rate on our 2025 Notes compared to our previous notes outstanding.
The foreign exchange losses (gains) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar 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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $41.5 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $41.2 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $37.0 million, resulting in a $4.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased an aggregate $61.0 million of principal amount of our previous 6.25% unsecured notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) for $24.3 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt premium and debt issuance costs, was $60.6 million, resulting in a $36.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt.
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Revenue
Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $251.9 million, a decrease of $44.0 million, or 14.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our Drilling & Downhole, Completions, and Production segments comprised 43.8%, 33.4%, and 22.8% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 41.8%, 23.0%, and 35.2% of our total revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The overall decline in revenue is primarily related to a decrease in sales volumes due to lower drilling and completions activity levels in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:
Drilling & Downhole segment — Revenue was $110.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $13.6 million, or 11.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease includes a $10.5 million, or 18.5%, decline in revenue for our Drilling Technologies product line due to lower sales volumes of consumable products and capital equipment as a result of a 28% decline in U.S. rig activity year-over-year. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line decreased by $5.9 million primarily due to lower sales volumes of artificial lift products due to the significant decrease in the number of wells completed in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020. These declines were partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line primarily due to higher replacement part sales in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020, which was negatively impacted by the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Completions segment — Revenue was $84.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $16.0 million, or 23.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase includes a $10.1 million, or 30.5%, increase in sales volumes for our Stimulation and Intervention product line and a $5.9 million, or 16.6%, increase in sales volumes for our Coiled Tubing product line. These higher revenue levels were driven by increasing U.S. hydraulic fracturing and well intervention service activity levels in the first half of 2021 compared to a rapidly declining market in the first half of 2020 when service companies were idling equipment in response to historically low levels of oil demand at the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.
Production segment — Revenue was $57.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $46.8 million, or 44.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease includes a $22.5 million decline from the fourth quarter 2020 divestiture of our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands. The remaining decline was driven by a $17.9 million decline in sales volumes of our other valve brands, primarily due to lower sales into the North America downstream and midstream markets, and a $6.4 million decrease in revenue for our Production Equipment product line from lower sales volumes of our surface production equipment, partially offset by higher sales volumes for our process oil treatment equipment due to increased project activity with international downstream customers.
Segment operating loss and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $25.3 million, an improvement of $48.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, segment operating margin percentage was (10.0)% compared to (24.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating loss by revenue for the period. The change in operating loss for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling & Downhole segment — Segment operating loss was $1.8 million, or (1.6)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an improvement of $11.7 million or 86.7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $11.7 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to an $8.3 million decrease in employee related costs due to headcount, salary and other cost reductions implemented in 2020. In addition, segment operating results also improved due to a $2.0 million reduction in inventory write downs and lower severance and other costs related to restructuring activities implemented in the first half of 2020 in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Completions segment — Segment operating loss was $0.3 million, or (0.4)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an improvement of $34.8 million or 99.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $34.8 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to a $9.8 million decrease in inventory write downs, a $6.1 million decrease in impairments of operating lease right of use assets and a $6.5 million reduction in employee related costs due to headcount, salary and other cost reductions implemented in 2020. The remaining increase in segment operating results is due to higher gross profits from the 23.3% increase in segment revenues and various other cost reductions.
25
Production segment — Segment operating loss was $7.9 million, or (13.7)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $9.2 million, or (8.9)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $1.4 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to an $8.1 million reduction in employee related costs due to headcount, salary and other cost reductions implemented in 2020 as well as a $2.0 million decrease in inventory write downs and a $1.9 million decrease in lease impairments. However, these cost decreases were mostly offset by the reduction in gross profit from the 44.9% decline in revenue discussed above, including the fourth quarter 2020 disposition of our ABZ and Quadrant valve brands.
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a $0.3 million decline compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cost reductions from lower legal and other professional fees were mostly offset by higher costs associated with variable compensation plans. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; 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 impairments of intangible assets, property and equipment and gain on disposal of assets and other. For further information related to impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, refer to Note 7 Impairments of Long-Lived Assets.
Other expense
Other expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange losses (gains) and other, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and deferred loan costs written off. We incurred $16.9 million of interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $3.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to higher non-cash amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with our 2025 Notes and a higher interest rate on our 2025 Notes compared to our previous notes outstanding.
The foreign exchange losses (gains) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $58.0 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $56.7 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $51.6 million, resulting in a $5.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
During the first half of 2020, we repurchased an aggregate $71.9 million of principal amount of our 2021 Notes for $27.6 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt premium and debt issuance costs, was $71.3 million, resulting in $43.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt. In addition, we wrote off $2.0 million of deferred loan costs due to the termination of previous discussions related to a potential exchange offer for our 2021 Notes.
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a tax benefit of $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.
The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a $16.6 million benefit related to a carryback claim for U.S. federal tax losses based on provisions in the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided relief to corporate taxpayers by permitting a five-year carryback of 2018-2020 NOLs, increased the 30% limitation on interest expense deductibility to 50% of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020, and accelerated refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards, among other provisions. The tax effects of changes in tax laws are recognized in the period in which the law is enacted.

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, our Credit Facility and the 2025 Notes. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventories, sales on credit to our customers and maintenance and growth capital expenditures and debt repayments. 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 generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $316.9 million principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding and $13.1 million outstanding on our revolving Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $58.0 million principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $56.7 million. In addition, we repaid the $13.1 million outstanding on our revolving Credit Facility. Following these transactions, we had $258.8 million principal amount of 2025 Notes and no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in October 2022 and the 2025 notes are scheduled to mature in August 2025.
See Note 8 Debt for further details related to the terms for our 2025 Notes and Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60.4 million and $125.8 million of availability under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under our Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we expect total 2021 capital expenditures to be less than $10.0 million, consisting of, among other items, replacing end of life machinery and equipment.
We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under our Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce the principal amount of our 2025 Notes or other debt outstanding.
In 2020, we completed one disposition for total consideration of $103.4 million. For additional information, see Note 4 Dispositions. We may pursue acquisitions in the future, which may be funded with cash and/or equity. Our ability to make significant 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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are presented below (in millions):

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.1 million of cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This improvement is primarily attributable to changes in working capital which provided cash of $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to providing $5.7 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This improvement in operating cash flows was partially offset by a decline in net income adjusted for non-cash items which used $14.5 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to using $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
27
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 including $2.1 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, partially offset by $1.3 million of cash paid for the net working capital settlement related to the disposition of our ABZ and QVA valve brands and $0.7 million of capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to $1.5 million of capital expenditures for property and equipment partially offset by $1.3 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $70.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 including $56.7 million of cash used to repurchase 2025 Notes and $13.1 million of repayments on the revolving Credit Facility. Net cash provided by financing activities was $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to $85.0 million of borrowings on the revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by $27.6 million of cash used to repurchase 2021 Notes.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
The Company’s 2025 Notes are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries which are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several.
The guarantees of the 2025 Notes are (i) pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such guarantor, including all obligations under our Credit Facility; (ii) secured by certain collateral of such guarantor, subject to permitted liens under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes; (iii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of that guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the 2025 Notes (after giving effect to the liens securing our Credit Facility and any other senior liens on the collateral); and (v) senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that guarantor.
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2025 Notes, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of such notes will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or to any guarantors.
The 2025 Notes guarantees shall each be released upon (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the equity interests of such guarantor after which the applicable guarantor is no longer a subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (iii) legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing such notes; or (iv) dissolution of such guarantor, provided no default or event of default has occurred that is continuing.
The obligations of each guarantor of the 2025 Notes under its guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Credit Facility) and any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the applicable indenture, result in the obligations of such guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law. Nonetheless, in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial difficulty of a guarantor, such guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee may be subject to review and avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference, fraudulent transfer and insolvency laws.
We are presenting the following summarized financial information for the Company and the subsidiary guarantors (collectively referred to as the "Obligated Group") pursuant to Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.
