FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Oil States International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “we” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. The unaudited financial statements included in this report reflect all the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial condition of the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon which the financial statements are based, change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Our industry is cyclical and this cyclicality impacts our estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows including our determination of whether a decline in value of our deferred tax assets, long-lived assets and/or goodwill has occurred.

During the first quarter of 2017, we modified the name of our “Offshore Products” segment to the “Offshore/Manufactured Products” segment given the higher proportional weighting of our shorter-cycle manufactured products (much of which is driven by land-based activity) to the total revenues generated by the segment. The Company has also provided supplemental disclosure in Note 12, “Segments and Related Information,” with respect to product and service revenues generated by the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, including project-driven products, short-cycle products, and other products and services. There have been no operational, reporting or other material changes related to the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.

The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”).

2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), which are adopted by the Company 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which are not completed as of that date. Upon adoption, we will recognize any cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. We continue to review our contracts with certain customers (primarily those related to project-driven products) within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment to determine the potential impact of the standard on such contracts and on our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the guidance, we expect to expand our revenue recognition disclosures in 2018 to address the new qualitative and quantitative requirements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases which are not short-term in nature. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019. Upon initial evaluation, we believe the key change upon adoption will be the balance sheet recognition of our operating leases when we are the lessee. The income statement recognition appears similar to our current methodology. The Company’s future obligations under operating leases as of December 31, 2016 are summarized in Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in our 2016 Form 10-K.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on employee share-based payment accounting which modifies existing guidance related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on stock-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. Adoption of this standard had no retrospective impact on the Company’s financial statements and the impact on the Company’s income tax benefit during the first six months of 2017 was not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the test of goodwill impairment. Under the revised standard, the Company will no longer be required to determine the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to its individual assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The revised guidance requires a prospective transition and permits early adoption for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a group of transferred assets and activities is a business in connection with a business combination. The revised standard provides that if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a set of similar identifiable assets, the group of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017.

4.	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, decreased from $70.3 million at December 31, 2016 to $61.7 million at June 30, 2017, due to changes in currency exchange rates. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is primarily related to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar which are used to translate certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil. As of June 30, 2017, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar strengthened by 5% and 3%, respectively, compared to the exchange rates at December 31, 2016, while the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar weakened by 2% during the same period, resulting in other comprehensive income of $8.6 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the first half of 2016, the exchange rates for the British pound weakened by 10% compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real strengthened 7% and 19%, respectively, compared to the U.S. dollar during the same period, resulting in an other comprehensive loss of $7.3 million.

6.	Business Acquisitions and Goodwill

In January 2017, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment acquired the intellectual property and assets of complementary product lines to our global crane manufacturing and service operations. The acquisition included adding active heave compensation technology and knuckle-boom crane designs to our existing portfolio.

In April 2017, our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment acquired assets and intellectual property that are complementary to our riser testing, inspection and repair service offerings. This complimentary technology allows the segment to provide automated inspection techniques either on board an offshore vessel or on the quayside, without the requirements to transport to a facility to remove the buoyancy materials.

Using cash on hand, consideration paid in connection with these transactions totaled $12.9 million, which was allocated to the net assets acquired, including intangibles and goodwill. While no material adjustments are anticipated, the Company’s allocations of purchase price are preliminary and subject to change primarily based on the final determination of the fair values of intangible assets acquired.

Amounts presented are net of $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with an option to increase the maximum borrowings to $750 million subject to additional lender commitments prior to its maturity on May 28, 2019. As of June 30, 2017, we had $47.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and an additional $24.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving $128.0 million available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The total amount available to be drawn was less than the lender commitments as of June 30, 2017, due to the maximum leverage ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement which serves to limit borrowings. We expect our availability to continue to be limited by the maximum leverage ratio covenant in 2017 based upon our forecast of our trailing twelve-month EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement and further discussed below).

The Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2014, as amended, (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, the Swing Line Lender and an Issuing Bank, and Royal Bank of Canada, as Syndication agent, and Compass Bank, as Documentation agent. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.50%, or at a base rate plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.50%, in each case based on a ratio of the Company’s total leverage to EBITDA. During the first half of 2017, our applicable margin over LIBOR was 1.50%. We must also pay a quarterly commitment fee, based on our leverage ratio, on the unused commitments under the Credit Agreement. The unused commitment fee was 0.375% during the first half of 2017. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. Specifically, we must maintain an interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 3.25 to 1.0. Each of the factors considered in the calculations of these ratios are defined in the Credit Agreement. EBITDA and consolidated interest, as defined, exclude goodwill impairments, losses on extinguishment of debt, debt discount amortization, and other non-cash charges. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

(Continued)

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to borrow additional funds, encumber assets, pay dividends, sell assets and enter into other significant transactions.

Under the Credit Agreement, the occurrence of specified change of control events involving our Company would constitute an event of default that would permit the banks to, among other things, accelerate the maturity of the facility and cause it to become immediately due and payable in full.

8.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, payables, bank debt and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Purchase of treasury stock	(561,765	)
Shares of common stock outstanding – June 30, 2017	51,095,707

On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock, which, following extension, was scheduled to expire on July 29, 2017. On July 26, 2017, our Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program for one year to July 29, 2018. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased 562 thousand shares of common stock under the program at a total cost of $16.3 million. The amount remaining under our share repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2017 was $120.5 million. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate.

The restricted stock program consists of a combination of service-based restricted stock and performance-based stock units. The service-based restricted stock awards generally vest on a straight-line basis over their term, which is generally three to four years. The number of performance-based restricted shares ultimately issued under the program is dependent upon our achievement of a predefined specific performance measures generally measured over a three-year period. In the event the predefined targets are exceeded for any performance-based award, additional shares up to a maximum of 200% of the target award may be granted. Conversely, if actual performance falls below the predefined target, the number of shares vested is reduced. If the actual performance falls below the threshold performance level, no restricted shares will vest. The performance measure for the 2017 and 2016 awards is relative total stockholder return compared to our peer group of companies while the performance measure specified for the 2015 awards was average after-tax return on invested capital. Currently, it is unlikely that the 2015 performance measure threshold will be met which would result in a performance award forfeiture of approximately 80 thousand units in 2017.

Stock-based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $6.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $11.0 million and $10.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, there was $39.6 million of pre-tax compensation costs related to service-based and performance-based stock awards and unvested stock options, which will be recognized in future periods as vesting conditions are satisfied.

11.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision for interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year. The Company’s income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was an income tax benefit of $5.1 million, or 26.2% of pre-tax losses, and $11.7 million, or 26.8% of pre-tax losses, respectively. This compares to an income tax benefit of $6.4 million, or 35.5% of pre-tax losses, and $14.5 million, or 36.7% of pre-tax losses, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The lower effective tax rate benefit in the first half of 2017 was primarily attributable to a shift in the mix between domestic pre-tax losses and foreign pre-tax income compared to the prior-year period, and additional valuation allowances provided against net operating losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

The Company records a valuation allowance in each reporting period when management believes that it is more likely than not that any deferred tax asset created will not be realized. This assessment requires analysis of available positive and negative evidence, including losses in recent years, reversals of temporary differences, forecasts of future income, assessment of future business assumptions and tax planning strategies. During 2016 and the first six months of 2017, we recorded valuation allowances with respect to net operating loss carryforwards of certain of our domestic and foreign operations. Future increases to our valuation allowance are possible if our estimates and assumptions (particularly as they relate to our forecast) are revised such that they reduce estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period.

Segments and Related Information

The Company operates through two reportable segments: Well Site Services and Offshore/Manufactured Products. The Company’s reportable segments represent strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technologies and marketing strategies. Acquisitions have been direct extensions to our business segments. Separate business lines within the Well Site Services segment have been disclosed to provide additional information for that segment.

Our Well Site Services segment provides a broad range of equipment and services that are used to drill for, establish and maintain the flow of oil and natural gas from a well throughout its life cycle. In this segment, our operations primarily include completion-focused equipment and services as well as land drilling services. Our Completion Services operations provide solutions to our customers using our fleet of completion tools and highly-trained personnel throughout our service offerings which include: wireline support, frac stacks, isolations tools, extended reach tools, ball launchers, well testing operations, thru tubing activity and sand control.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions, as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state and local levels. Over recent years, a number of lawsuits were filed in Federal Court, against the Company and or one of its subsidiaries, by current and former employees alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs seek damages and penalties for the Company’s alleged failure to: properly classify its field service employees as “non-exempt” under the FLSA; and pay them on an hourly basis (including overtime). The plaintiffs are seeking recovery on their own behalf as well as on behalf of a class of similarly situated employees. Settlement of the class action against the Company was approved, and a judgment was entered November 19, 2015. The Company has settled the vast majority of these claims and is evaluating potential settlements for the remaining individual plaintiffs’ claims which are not expected to be significant.

We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of our products or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses we have sold. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of businesses and, in other cases, we have indemnified the buyers of businesses from us. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company does so for the convenience of our stockholders and in an effort to provide information available in the market that will assist the Company’s investors to have a better understanding of the market environment in which the Company operates. However, the Company specifically disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such information and undertakes no obligation to update such information.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

During the first quarter of 2017, we modified the name of our “Offshore Products” segment to the “Offshore/Manufactured Products” segment given the higher proportional weighting of our shorter-cycle manufactured products (much of which is driven by land-based activity) to the total revenues generated by the segment. The Company has also provided supplemental disclosure below, and in Note 12, “Segments and Related Information,” with respect to product and service revenues generated by the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, including project-driven products, short-cycle products, and other products and services. There have been no operational, reporting or other material changes related to the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.

Macroeconomic Environment

We provide a broad range of products and services to the oil and gas industry through our Offshore/Manufactured Products and Well Site Services business segments. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and gas industry, particularly our customers’ willingness to invest capital in the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Our customers’ capital spending programs are generally based on their cash flows and their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices, economic growth, commodity demand and estimates of resource production. As a result, demand for our products and services is largely sensitive to future expectations with respect to crude oil and natural gas prices.

A severe industry downturn started in the second half of 2014 and continued into 2017, driven by global economic uncertainties and high levels of global oil production. As shown in the table that follows, significant downward crude oil price volatility began in late 2014 with Intercontinental Exchange Brent (“Brent”) crude oil declining from an average of $110 per barrel in the second quarter of 2014 to an average of $34 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016 (a level last seen in 2004). The sustained material decrease in crude oil prices relative to 2014 is primarily attributable to high levels of global crude oil inventories resulting from significant production growth in the U.S. shale plays, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, and increased production by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”). OPEC demonstrated, throughout 2015 and through November of 2016 an unwillingness to modify production levels, as it had done in previous years, in an effort to protect its market share. These production increases were partially offset by growth in global crude oil demand. The combination of these factors caused a global supply and demand imbalance for crude oil which, along with concerns regarding the potential effects on energy demand stemming from the diminished growth outlook in China and other emerging markets, and supply increases related to the lifting of sanctions against Iran, resulted in materially lower crude oil prices. Non-OPEC production, particularly in the United States, began to decline in 2015 due to substantially reduced investment in drilling and completion activity triggered by lower crude oil prices leading to some recovery in crude oil prices in late 2016 and early 2017 relative to the crude oil price lows experienced in early 2016. On November 30, 2016, OPEC agreed to production cuts which should, over time, if the cuts are adhered to, result in further reductions in global crude oil inventories and a more favorable commodity price environment. In May 2017, OPEC agreed to extend these production cuts to March 2018. Brent crude oil prices averaged $50 per barrel in the second quarter of 2017, which is 9% above the second quarter 2016 average but is down 7% from the average in the first quarter of 2017. Similarly, the average price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) was $48 per barrel in the second quarter of 2017, up 6% from the second quarter 2016 average of $45 per barrel but down 7% on a sequential quarter basis. The year-over-year improvement in oil prices was driven by the belief that OPEC and Russia, its key ally in the effort to stabilize the global crude oil market, would be successful in cutting their production. However, improvements in crude oil prices over the past twelve months rapidly translated into increased drilling activity in U.S. shale play developments in areas such as the Permian Basin, which is leading to higher domestic production. This increased shale driven activity has pressured crude oil prices again with the WTI price per barrel declining 9% between March 31, 2017 and July 24, 2017. Spending in these regions, which began to improve in the second half of 2016 in response to higher crude oil prices, has positively influenced the overall drilling and completion activity in these regions and, therefore, the activity of our Well Site Services segment as well as for short-cycle products within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment in 2017. Expectations with respect to the longer-term price for Brent crude oil will continue to influence our customers’ spending related to global offshore drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.

Given the historical volatility of crude oil prices, there remains a degree of risk that prices could remain at their current levels or deteriorate further due to relatively high levels of global inventories, increasing domestic crude oil production, slowing growth rates in various global regions, use of alternatives and/or the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances. Conversely, if the global supply of crude oil were to decrease due to a prolonged reduction in capital investment by our customers or if government instability in a major oil-producing nation develops, and energy demand were to continue to increase in the United States, India and China, a sustained recovery in WTI and Brent crude oil prices could occur. In any event, crude oil price improvements will depend upon a rebalancing of global supply and demand, with a corresponding reduction in global inventories, the timing of which is difficult to predict. If commodity prices do not improve, or decline further, demand for our products and services could continue to be weak or could decline further.

The 2016 average natural gas price of $2.52 per mmBtu was the lowest annual average since 1999 – driven by a mild winter which caused inventory storage levels to rise to historic highs in the second quarter of 2016. Natural gas prices improved over the past year from an average of $2.14 per mmBtu in the second quarter of 2016 to an average of $3.08 per mmBtu during the second quarter of 2017 as a result of declining production, increased demand for natural gas to fuel electricity generation and a colder 2016/2017 winter compared to the 2015/2016 winter in the Northern United States. Natural gas surpassed coal during 2016 as the largest energy source for generating electricity. Reflecting the impact of decreased production and higher demand for natural gas, inventories in the United States declined 9% from the level reported as of June 30, 2016 – with working gas in storage 7% above the five-year average as of June 30, 2017 (which compares to 25% above the five-year average as of June 30, 2016). Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has been limited due to associated natural gas being produced from unconventional oil wells in North America. If natural gas production growth surpasses demand growth in the United States, and/or if the supply of natural gas were to increase, whether from conventional or unconventional production or associated natural gas production from oil wells, prices for natural gas could remain depressed for an extended period of time and could result in fewer rigs drilling for natural gas.

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). As of July 24, 2017, WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil and natural gas traded at approximately $46.21 per barrel, $47.81 per barrel and $2.99 per mmBtu, respectively.

Overview

Demand for the products and services of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment is driven by the longer-term outlook for commodity prices and changes in drilling and completion activity, both offshore and onshore. Demand for the equipment and services of our Well Site Services segment responds to shorter-term movements in crude oil and natural gas prices and, specifically, changes in North American drilling and completion activity given the spot contract nature of our operations coupled with shorter cycles between drilling a well and bringing it on production. Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include, but are not limited to, the general global economic environment, competitive pricing pressures and regulatory changes in the United States and international markets.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and natural gas production systems and facilities, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. Approximately 60% of Offshore/Manufactured Products sales in 2016 were driven by our customers’ capital spending for offshore production systems and subsea pipeline infrastructure, repairs and, to a lesser extent, upgrades of existing offshore drilling rigs and construction of new offshore drilling rigs and vessels (referred to herein as “project-driven product revenue”). As a result, this segment has historically been particularly influenced by global deepwater drilling and production spending, which are driven largely by our customers’ longer-term outlook for crude oil and natural gas prices. Deepwater oil and gas development projects typically involve significant capital investments and multi-year development plans. As a result, such projects are generally undertaken by larger exploration, field development and production companies (primarily international oil companies (“IOCs”) and state-run national oil companies (“NOCs”)) using relatively conservative crude oil and natural gas pricing assumptions. We believe some of these deepwater projects once approved for development are, therefore, less susceptible to short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas given longer lead times associated with field development. However, the decline in crude oil prices that began in 2014 and continued into 2017, coupled with the relatively uncertain outlook around shorter-term and possibly longer-term pricing improvements have caused exploration and production companies to reevaluate their future capital expenditures in regards to these deepwater projects since they are expensive to drill and complete, have long lead times to first production and may be considered uneconomical relative to the risk involved. However, several development projects have been sanctioned in the first half of 2017 due to re-engineering of the projects and lower development costs, which led to an improvement in final investment decisions (“FID’s”) on these projects from the previous two years. Our bookings declined over the last two years, leading to substantially reduced backlog in 2017 relative to recent years. As a result, this segment’s project-driven revenue declined 58% from the first half of 2016 and accounted for only 35% of the total segment’s revenue in the first half of 2017. Shorter-cycle manufactured products sold to the land-based completions market are impacted by near-term fluctuations in commodity prices. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, sales of these shorter-cycle products (such as valves and elastomer products) for this segment increased 86% over the level reported in the same period last year due to the significant increase in U.S. land-based drilling and completion activity.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues and operating income declined at a slower pace over recent years than our Well Site Services segment given the high levels of backlog that existed at the beginning of 2014. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment continued after 2014, albeit at a much slower pace. Reflecting the impact of customer (both IOCs and NOCs) delays and deferrals in approving major, capital intensive projects in light of the prolonged low commodity price environment, backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment decreased from $599 million at June 30, 2014 to $199 million at December 31, 2016. With a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x in the first half of 2017, our backlog increased to $202 million at June 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016. The following table sets forth backlog for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment as of the dates indicated (in millions).

	Backlog as of

In our Well Site Services segment, we predominantly provide completion services and, to a lesser extent, land drilling services. Our Completion Services business provides equipment and service personnel utilized in the completion and initial production of new and recompleted wells. Activity for the Completion Services business is dependent primarily upon the level and complexity of drilling, completion, and workover activity in the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the rest of the world. Well complexity has increased with the continuing transition to multi-well pads and the drilling of longer lateral wells along with the increased number of frac stages completed in horizontal wells. Demand for our Drilling Services operations is driven by land drilling activity in our primary drilling markets of the Permian Basin in West Texas, where we primarily drill oil wells, and the U.S. Rocky Mountain area, where we drill both liquids-rich and natural gas wells.

Demand for our Drilling Services and Completion Services businesses is correlated to changes in the drilling rig count in North America, as well as changes in the total number of wells drilled, total footage, and the number of drilled wells that are completed. The table below sets forth a summary of the average North American drilling rig count, as measured by Baker Hughes (a GE company), for the periods indicated.

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
U.S. Land – Oil		694		315		630		368
U.S. Land – Natural gas and other		171		82		158		94
U.S. Offshore		25		24		25		26
Total United States.		890		421		813		488
Canada		120		49		204		106
Total North America		1,010		470		1,017		594

The average North American rig count for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 423 rigs, or 71%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, in response to the increase in crude oil prices discussed above.

Over the past several years, our industry experienced a shift in customer spending from natural gas exploration and development to crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development in the North American shale plays utilizing horizontal drilling and completion techniques. The U.S. natural gas-related working rig count declined from approximately 810 rigs at the beginning of 2012 to 81 rigs in August of 2016, a more than 29 year low. According to rig count data published by Baker Hughes (a GE company), the U.S. oil rig count peaked in October 2014 at 1,609 rigs but has declined materially since late 2014 due to much lower crude oil prices, totaling 756 rigs as of June 30, 2017 (with the U.S. oil rig count having troughed at 316 rigs in May 2016, which was the lowest oil rig count during this current cyclical downturn). As of June 30, 2017, oil-directed drilling accounted for 80% of the total U.S. rig count – with the balance natural gas related. The total U.S. rig count has increased 536 rigs, or 133%, since troughing in May of 2016, largely due to decreased service costs and improved technologies applied in the shale play regions of the United States.

Exacerbating the steep declines in drilling activity experienced in 2015 and 2016, many of our exploration and production customers had deferred well completions. These deferred completions are referred to in the industry as drilled but uncompleted wells (or “DUCs”). Given our Well Site Services segment’s exposure to the level of completion activity, an increase in the number of DUCs will have a short-term negative impact on our results of operations relative to the rig count trends but over the longer-term should have a positive impact on the segment’s results as the wells are completed.

Reduced demand for our products and services, coupled with a reduction in the prices we charge our customers for our services has adversely affected our results of operations, cash flows and financial position since the second half of 2014. If the current pricing environment for crude oil and natural gas does not improve, or declines further, our customers may be required to further reduce their capital expenditures, causing additional declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products and services, which would adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. Our customers have experienced a significant decline in their revenues and cash flows due to the commodity price declines, with many experiencing a significant reduction in liquidity. Several exploration and production companies declared bankruptcy during 2015 and 2016, or had to exchange equity for the forgiveness of debt, and others were forced to sell assets in an effort to preserve liquidity.

We continue to monitor the global economy, the prices of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and the resultant impact on the capital spending plans and operations of our customers in order to plan and manage our business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

We reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 of $14.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, which included $0.8 million ($0.6 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) of severance and other downsizing charges. Excluding these second quarter 2017 charges, the net loss would have been $13.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. These results compare to a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $11.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, which included $1.1 million ($0.7 million after-tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) of severance and other downsizing charges. Excluding these second quarter 2016 charges, the net loss from continuing operations would have been $11.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Our consolidated results of operations reflect current industry trends and customer spending activities which are focused on growth in the U.S. shale play regions with weaker U.S. Gulf of Mexico and international activity. In addition, investments in deepwater markets globally has slowed since the start of the recent industry downturn in 2014.

Revenues. Consolidated revenues in the second quarter of 2017 decreased $4.4 million, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2016 due to declines in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, which were substantially offset by improvements in our Well Site Services segment. In the second quarter of 2017, revenues that were driven by U.S. shale play activity exceeded 50% of consolidated revenues.

Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $29.0 million, or 70%, in the second quarter of 2017 from the prior-year quarter due to growth of both Completion Services and Drilling Services revenues. Our Completion Services revenues increased $21.1 million, or 57%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, with the impact of a higher commodity price environment and lower service costs, which has led to increased U.S. land-based activity, partially offset by the timing of customer activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and certain international markets. The number of Completion Services job tickets in the second quarter of 2017 increased 41% over the prior-year period and revenue per Completion Services job increased 12% year-over-year as a result of increased completions activity, a more favorable job mix and improved pricing. Our Drilling Services revenues increased $7.6 million to $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 from the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of increased utilization of our land drilling rigs from an average of 9% during the second quarter of 2016 to an average of 25% in the second quarter of 2017 and increased dayrates.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues decreased $33.1 million, or 25%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of a decline in demand for deepwater project-driven products (primarily subsea pipeline infrastructure, offshore production and drilling products), lower levels of service activities and a backlog position that has trended lower since mid-2014. These deepwater project-driven revenue declines were partially offset by increases in sales of our short-cycle products, which more than doubled year-over-year. Shorter-cycle products, such as elastomers and valves, have benefited from increased land-based drilling and completion activity in the United States. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment continued, albeit at a much slower pace. Reflecting the impact of customer delays and deferrals in approving major, capital intensive projects in light of the prolonged low commodity price environment, backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment decreased from $340 million at December 31, 2015 to $199 million at December 31, 2016. With a book to bill ratio of 1.0x in the first half of 2017, our backlog increased to $202 million at June 30, 2017.

Cost of Sales and Services. Our consolidated cost of sales and services decreased $4.6 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 as a result of decreased cost of sales and services at our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment of $26.5 million, or 27%, which was partially offset by a $21.9 million, or 58%, increase in cost of services at our Well Site Services segment. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 22% in the second quarter of 2016 to 23% in the second quarter of 2017, with gross margin expansion reported in both our operating segments.

Our Well Site Services segment cost of services increased $21.9 million, or 58%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 as a result of a $15.4 million, or 45%, increase in Completion Services cost of services and a $6.5 million increase in costs in our Drilling Services business. These increases in cost of services, which are strongly correlated to the revenue increases in these businesses, reflect the increase in land-based activity in the United States. Costs increases included higher personnel costs from increased employee overtime and costs associated with headcount additions made during the current year. Our Well Site Services segment gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved from 7% in the second quarter of 2016 to 14% in the second quarter of 2017. Our Completion Services gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 7% in the second quarter of 2016 to 14% in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to the significant increase in revenue levels. Our Drilling Services gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved from 10% in the second quarter of 2016 to 13% in the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased rig utilization and cost absorption.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment cost of sales decreased $26.5 million, or 27%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 reflecting the decrease in project-driven revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 27% in the second quarter of 2016 to 29% in the second quarter of 2017 driven by the significant growth in sales of short-cycle products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2017 from the prior-year quarter with the impact of 2016 cost reduction initiatives partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals and reduced employee severance-related charges in the second quarter of 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.6 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated since June 30, 2016 that, due to the downturn, have not been replaced coupled with overall lower levels of capital expenditures.

Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net. Other operating (income) expense, net moved from other operating income of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 to other operating expense of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses recognized in the respective periods.

Operating Loss. Our consolidated operating loss increased from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of a decrease in operating income from our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment of $11.0 million due to a continued decline in offshore-related activity, offset by a decrease in operating loss of $11.1 million from our Well Site Services segment. Corporate expenses were $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.4 million from the prior-year period due primarily to increased incentive compensation accruals.

Interest Expense and Interest Income. Net interest expense decreased $0.2 million, or 13%, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to a reduction in amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below) partially offset by higher unused commitment fees paid to our lenders. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding increased from 6.4% in the second quarter of 2016 to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2017 due to an increased proportion of interest expense associated with unused commitment fees, lower average borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs.

Income Tax Benefit. The income tax provision for interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year. The Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was an income tax benefit of $5.1 million, or 26.2% of pre-tax losses, compared to an income tax benefit of $6.4 million, or 35.5% of pre-tax losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The lower effective tax rate benefit in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to a shift in the mix between domestic pre-tax losses and foreign pre-tax income compared to the prior-year period, and additional valuation allowances provided against net operating losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income was $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to a loss of $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil. During the second quarter of 2017, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Canadian dollar strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar during the same period. This compares to the second quarter of 2016, when the exchange rates for the British pound weakened compared to the U.S. dollar while the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. The British pound was impacted by the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union in late June 2016.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

We reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $31.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, which included $1.6 million ($1.2 million after-tax, or $0.02 per diluted share) of severance and other downsizing charges. Excluding these charges in the first six months of 2017, the net loss would have been $30.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. These results compare to a net loss of $24.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which included $2.7 million ($1.7 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share) of severance and other downsizing charges. Excluding these charges in the first six months of 2016, the net loss would have been $23.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share.

Revenues. Consolidated revenues in the first six months of 2017 decreased $22.6 million, or 7%, from the first six months of 2016 due to declines in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, partially offset by improvements in our Well Site Services segment. In the first six months of 2017, approximately 50% of consolidated revenues were driven by U.S. shale play activity.

Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $45.1 million, or 53%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior-year period due to growth of both Completion Services and Drilling Services revenues. Our Completion Services revenues increased $28.8 million, or 37%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016, with the impact of a higher commodity price environment and lower service costs which has led to increased U.S. land-based activity, partially offset by lower customer activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and certain international markets. The number of Completion Services job tickets in the first half of 2017 increased 19% over the prior-year period and revenue per Completion Services job increased 15% year-over-year as a result of increased completions activity, a more favorable job mix and improved pricing. Our Drilling Services revenues increased $16.3 million to $23.0 million in the first six months of 2017 from the first six months of 2016 due to higher utilization of our land drilling rigs, which increased from an average of 8% during the first six months of 2016 to an average of 25% in the first six months of 2017.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues decreased $67.7 million, or 26%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 primarily as a result of a decline in demand for deepwater project-driven products (primarily subsea pipeline infrastructure, offshore production and drilling products), lower levels of service activities and a backlog position that has trended lower since mid-2014. These deepwater project-driven revenue declines were partially offset by an 86% increase in sales of our short-cycle products. Shorter-cycle products, such as elastomers and valves, have benefited from increased land-based drilling and completion activity in the United States. Bidding and quoting activity, along with orders from customers, for our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment continued, albeit at a much slower pace. Reflecting the impact of customer delays and deferrals in approving major, capital intensive projects in light of the prolonged low commodity price environment, backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment decreased from $340 million at December 31, 2015 to $199 million at December 31, 2016. With a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x in the first half of 2017, our backlog increased to $202 million at June 30, 2017.

Cost of Sales and Services. Our consolidated cost of sales and services decreased $14.5 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 as a result of decreased cost of sales and services at our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment of $47.7 million, or 26%, which was partially offset by a $33.3 million, or 40%, increase in cost of services at our Well Site Services segment. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased from 23% in the first six months of 2016 to 22% in the first six months of 2017 with the impact of an 820 basis point improvement in gross margins within our Well Site Services segment offset by shift in the relative revenue contribution levels between the segments.

Our Well Site Services segment cost of services increased $33.3 million, or 40%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 as a result of a $20.4 million, or 27%, increase in Completion Services cost of services and a $12.9 million increase in service costs in our Drilling Services business. These increases in cost of services, which are strongly correlated to the revenue increases in these businesses, reflect the increase in land-based activity in the United States. Costs increases included higher personnel costs from increased employee overtime and costs associated with headcount additions made during the first half of 2017. Our Well Site Services segment gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved from 3% in the first six months of 2016 to 11% in the first six months of 2017. Our Completion Services gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased from 4% in the first six months of 2016 to 11% in the first six months of 2017 primarily due to the increase in revenues. Our Drilling Services gross profit as a percentage of revenues improved from (11)% in the first six months of 2016 to 12% in the first six months of 2017 primarily due to increased rig utilization and cost absorption.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment cost of sales decreased $47.7 million, or 26%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 reflecting the decrease in project-driven revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 30% in the first six months of 2017, consistent with the prior year level.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 2017 from the prior-year period primarily due to the impact of 2016 cost reduction initiatives partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals and lower employee severance-related charges in the first six months of 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4.1 million, or 7%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated since June 30, 2016 that, due to the downturn, have not been replaced coupled with overall lower levels of capital expenditures.

Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net. Other operating (income) expense, net moved from other operating income of $2.7 million in the first six months of 2016 to other operating expense of $1.0 million in the first six months of 2017, reflecting primarily the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses recognized in the respective periods.

Operating Loss. Our consolidated operating loss increased from $37.3 million in the first six months of 2016 to $41.8 million in the first six months of 2017 primarily as a result of a decrease in operating income from our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment of $24.9 million due to a continued decline in offshore-related activity, partially offset by a decreased operating loss of $22.8 million from our Well Site Services segment. Corporate expenses were $24.9 million in the first six months of 2017, an increase of $2.5 million from the prior-year period due primarily to incentive compensation accruals.

Interest Expense and Interest Income. Net interest expense decreased $0.5 million, or 19%, in the first six months of 2017 compared to the first six months of 2016 primarily due to a reduction in amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility partially offset by higher unused commitment fees paid to our lenders. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding increased from 5.6% in the first six months of 2016 to 14.7% in the first six months of 2017 due to an increased proportion of interest expense associated with unused commitment fees, lower average borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs.

Income Tax Benefit. The income tax provision for interim periods is based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the entire fiscal year. The Company’s income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was an income tax benefit of $11.7 million, or 26.8% of pre-tax losses, compared to an income tax benefit of $14.5 million, or 36.7% of pre-tax losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The lower effective tax rate benefit in the first six months of 2017 was primarily attributable to a shift in the mix between domestic pre-tax losses and foreign pre-tax income compared to the prior-year period, and additional valuation allowances provided against net operating losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income was $8.6 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to a loss of $7.3 million in the first six months of 2016 due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil. During the first half of 2017, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Canadian dollar strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real weakened compared to the U.S. dollar during the same period. This compares to the first half of 2016, when exchange rates for the British pound weakened compared to the U.S. dollar while the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. The British pound was impacted by the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union in late June 2016.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund operating and capital expenditures which, in the past, have included expanding and upgrading our Offshore/Manufactured Products manufacturing facilities and equipment, replacing and increasing Completion Services assets, funding new product development, and general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to repay debt, fund our share repurchase program, and fund strategic business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds have been cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and capital markets transactions.

The crude oil and natural gas industry is highly cyclical which may result in declines in the demand for, and prices of, our products and services or the inability or failure of our customers to meet their obligations to us. These adverse market conditions could require us to incur asset impairment charges, deferred tax valuation allowances and/or write down the value of our goodwill, and may otherwise adversely impact our results of operations and our cash flows and financial position.

Operating Activities

Despite the weak market conditions, cash flows totaling $44.9 million were provided by continuing operations during the first six months of 2017 compared to $82.1 million provided by continuing operations during the same period of 2016. During the first six months of 2017, $24.6 million was provided from net working capital reductions, primarily due to decreases in receivables and inventories. During the first six months of 2016, $55.4 million was provided from net working capital reductions, also primarily due to decreases in receivables.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2017 was $25.9 million compared to $19.4 million used in investing activities during the first six months of 2016. Capital expenditures totaled $13.3 million and $18.4 million during the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the first six months of 2017, we also invested $12.9 million within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment to acquire complementary intellectual property and assets to expand our global crane manufacturing and service operations as well as our riser testing, inspection and repair service offerings.

After considering the $13.3 million invested during the first six months of 2017, we expect to spend between $35 million to $40 million in total capital expenditures during 2017, which compares to $30 million spent in 2016. Whether planned expenditures will actually be spent in 2017 depends on industry conditions, project approvals and schedules, vendor delivery timing, and careful monitoring of our levels of liquidity. We plan to fund these capital expenditures with available cash, internally generated funds, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing capital expenditure forecast does not include any funds for strategic acquisitions, which the Company could pursue depending on the economic environment in our industry and the availability of transactions at prices deemed to be attractive to the Company.

At June 30, 2017, substantially all of our cash was held by our international subsidiaries. Our intent is to utilize at least a portion of these cash balances for future investment outside of the United States. Approximately $35 million of cash held by our international subsidiaries can be repatriated by us without triggering any incremental tax consequences.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash of $16.9 million was used in financing activities, primarily as a result of repurchases of $16.3 million of our common stock in the second quarter of 2017. This compares to $46.2 million of cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of repayment of outstanding debt under the Revolving Credit Facility.

We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, or if we make further acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital. Acquisitions have been, and our management believes acquisitions will continue to be, a key element of our business strategy. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt and/or equity issuances. Our ability to obtain capital for additional projects to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend upon our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, such additional debt service requirements could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and any issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.

Share Repurchase Program. On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock, which, following extension, was scheduled to expire on July 29, 2017. On July 26, 2017, our Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program for one year to July 29, 2018. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased 562 thousand shares of common stock under the program at a total cost of $16.3 million. The amount remaining under our share repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2017 was $120.5 million. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate.

Credit Facility. The Company has a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with an option to increase the maximum borrowings to $750 million subject to additional lender commitments prior to its maturity on May 28, 2019. As of June 30, 2017, we had $47.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and an additional $24.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving $128.0 million available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The total amount available to be drawn was less than the lender commitments as of June 30, 2017, due to the maximum leverage ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement which serves to limit borrowings. We expect our availability to continue to be limited by the maximum leverage ratio covenant in 2017 based upon our forecast of our trailing twelve-month EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement and further discussed below).

The Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a Credit Agreement dated as of May 28, 2014, as amended, (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, the Swing Line Lender and an Issuing Bank; Royal Bank of Canada, as Syndication agent; and Compass Bank, as Documentation agent. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.50%, or at a base rate plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.50%, in each case based on a ratio of the Company’s total leverage to EBITDA. During the first half of 2017, our applicable margin over LIBOR was 1.50%. We must also pay a quarterly commitment fee, based on our leverage ratio, on the unused commitments under the Credit Agreement. The unused commitment fee was 0.375% during the first half of 2017. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding increased from 5.6% in the first six months of 2016 to 14.7% in the first six months of 2017. The increase in the weighted average interest rate was attributable to an increased proportion of interest expense associated with unused commitment fees, lower average borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs.

The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions. Specifically, we must maintain an interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.0 to 1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total debt to consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 3.25 to 1.0. Each of the factors considered in the calculations of these ratios are defined in the Credit Agreement. EBITDA and consolidated interest, as defined, exclude goodwill impairments, losses on extinguishment of debt, debt discount amortization, and other non-cash charges. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our debt covenants and expect to continue to be in compliance during the remainder of 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant domestic subsidiaries.

Our total debt represented 4.2% of our combined total debt and stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2016 Form 10-K. These estimates require significant judgments, assumptions and estimates. We have discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. There have been no material changes to the judgments, assumptions, and estimates upon which our critical accounting estimates are based. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk refers to the potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations and exchange rates, equity prices, and commodity prices, including the correlation among these factors and their volatility.

Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative instruments only to the extent considered necessary to meet risk management objectives and do not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We have a revolving credit facility that is subject to the risk of higher interest charges associated with increases in interest rates. As of June 30, 2017, we had floating-rate obligations totaling $47.0 million drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. These floating-rate obligations expose us to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates. If the floating interest rates increased by 1% from June 30, 2017 levels, our consolidated interest expense would increase by a total of approximately $0.5 million annually.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world and we receive revenue from these operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in (i) currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currency of our subsidiaries, which is not necessarily the U.S. dollar. In order to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate risks in areas outside of the United States (primarily in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment), we generally pay a portion of our expenses in local currencies and a substantial portion of our contracts provide for collections from customers in U.S. dollars. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, our reported foreign currency exchange losses were $1.0 million and are included in “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we may enter into foreign currency exchange agreements with financial institutions. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding foreign currency forward purchase contracts with notional amounts of $2.2 million related to expected cash flows denominated in Euros.

Our accumulated other comprehensive loss, reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, decreased from $70.3 million at December 31, 2016 to $61.7 million at June 30, 2017, as a result of currency exchange rate differences. Our accumulated other comprehensive loss is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar which are used to translate certain of the international operations of our reportable segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil. As of June 30, 2017, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar strengthened by 5% and 3%, respectively, compared to the exchange rates at December 31, 2016, while the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar weakened by 2% during the same period, resulting in other comprehensive income of $8.6 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file 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 and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act), which have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
