Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing in “Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K generally discusses 2023 and 2022 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2023 and 2022. Discussions of 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K can be found in “Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including the known material factors set forth in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors.” You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K in order to understand factors, such as business combinations, charges and credit and financing transactions, which may impact comparability from period to period.

We provide a broad range of manufactured products and services to customers in the energy, industrial and military sectors through our Offshore/Manufactured Products, Well Site Services and Downhole Technologies segments. Demand for our products and services is cyclical and substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and gas industry, particularly our customers’ willingness to invest capital in the exploration for and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves. Our customers’ capital spending programs are generally based on their cash flows and their outlook for near-term and long-term commodity prices, making demand for our products and services sensitive to expectations regarding future crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as economic growth, commodity demand and estimates of resource production and regulatory pressures related to ESG considerations.

On February 9, 2024, Brent crude oil, WTI crude oil and natural gas spot prices closed at $83.58 per barrel, $77.26 per barrel and $1.74 per MMBtu, respectively. Additionally, the U.S. drilling rig count reported on February 9, 2024 was 623 rigs – comparable to the fourth quarter 2023 average.

In February 2023, we repaid the $17.3 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest, outstanding under our 2023 Notes. Additionally, our Board authorized a $25.0 million stock repurchase plan, which extends through February 2025. During 2023, $6.9 million of share repurchases were made under this authorization. On February 16, 2024, we amended our ABL Facility to extend its maturity date from February 10, 2025 to February 16, 2028.

Overview

Current and expected future pricing for WTI crude oil and natural gas and inflationary cost increases, along with expectations regarding the regulatory environment in the regions in which we operate, are factors that will continue to influence our customers’ willingness to invest capital in their businesses. Expectations for the longer-term price for Brent crude oil will continue to influence our customers’ spending related to global offshore drilling and development and, thus, a significant portion of the activity of our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.

Crude oil prices and levels of demand for crude oil are likely to remain highly volatile due to numerous factors, including: geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, along with associated international tensions; the perceived risk of a global economic recession; domestic or international crude oil production; changes in governmental rules and regulations; sanctions; the willingness of operators to invest capital in the exploration for and development of resources; use of alternative fuels; improved vehicle fuel efficiency; timing of capital investments in alternative energy sources; a more sustained movement to electric vehicles; and the potential for ongoing supply/demand imbalances.

U.S. drilling, completion and production activity and, in turn, our financial results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of our U.S. operations.

Customer spending in the natural gas shale plays has moderated over the last ten years due to technological advancements that have led to significant amounts of natural gas being produced from prolific basins in the Northeastern United States and from associated gas produced from the drilling and completion of unconventional oil wells in the United States.

Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment provides technology-driven, highly-engineered products and services for offshore oil and natural gas production systems and facilities globally, as well as certain products and services to the offshore and land-based drilling and completion markets. This segment also produces a variety of products for use in industrial, military and other applications outside the traditional energy industry. Additionally, we are investing in research and product development related to, and have been awarded select contracts and are bidding on additional projects that facilitate, the development of alternative energy sources, including offshore wind and deepsea mineral gathering opportunities. This segment is particularly influenced by global spending on deepwater drilling and production, which is primarily driven by our customers’ longer-term commodity demand forecasts and outlook for crude oil and natural gas prices. Approximately 69% of Offshore/Manufactured Products segment sales in 2023 were driven by our customers’ capital spending for products and services used in exploratory and developmental drilling, greenfield offshore production infrastructure, and subsea pipeline tie-in and repair

system applications, along with upgraded equipment for existing offshore drilling rigs and other vessels (referred to herein as “project-driven products and services”). Deepwater oil and gas development projects typically involve significant capital investments and multi-year development plans. Such projects are generally undertaken by larger exploration, field development and production companies (primarily international oil companies and state-run national oil companies) using relatively conservative crude oil and natural gas pricing assumptions. Given the long lead times associated with field development, we believe some of these deepwater projects, once approved for development, are generally less susceptible to change based on short-term fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas.

Backlog reported by our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment increased to $333 million as of December 31, 2023 from $308 million as of December 31, 2022. Bookings totaled $472 million in 2023, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x. The following table sets forth backlog as of the dates indicated (in millions).

Our Well Site Services segment provides completion services and, to a much lesser extent, land drilling services, in the United States (including the Gulf of Mexico) and internationally. U.S. drilling and completion activity and, in turn, our Well Site Services results, are sensitive to near-term fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly WTI crude oil prices, given the short-term, call-out nature of its operations. We primarily supply equipment and service personnel utilized in the completion of, and initial production from, new and recompleted wells in our U.S. operations, which are dependent primarily upon the level and complexity of drilling, completion and workover activity in our areas of operations. Well intensity and complexity have increased with the continuing transition to multi-well pads, the drilling of longer lateral wells and increased downhole pressures, along with the increased number of frac stages completed in horizontal wells.

Our Downhole Technologies segment provides oil and gas perforation systems, downhole tools and services in support of completion, intervention, wireline and well abandonment operations. This segment designs, manufactures and markets its consumable engineered products to oilfield service as well as exploration and production companies. Product and service offerings for this segment include innovations in perforation technology through patented and proprietary systems combined with advanced modeling and analysis tools. This expertise has led to the optimization of perforation hole size, depth, and quality of tunnels, which are key factors for maximizing the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing. Additional offerings include proprietary frac plug and toe valve products, which are focused on zonal isolation for hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells, and a broad range of consumable products, such as setting tools and bridge plugs, that are used in completion, intervention and decommissioning applications. Demand drivers for the Downhole Technologies segment include continued trends toward longer lateral lengths, increased frac stages and more perforation clusters to target increased unconventional well productivity.

Demand for our completion-related products and services within each of our segments is highly correlated to changes in the total number of wells drilled in the United States, total footage drilled, the number of drilled wells that are completed and changes in the drilling rig count. The following table sets forth a summary of the U.S. drilling rig count, as measured by Baker Hughes Company, as of and for the periods indicated.

The U.S. energy industry is primarily focused on crude oil and liquids-rich exploration and development activities in U.S. shale plays utilizing horizontal drilling and completion techniques. As of December 31, 2023, oil-directed drilling accounted for 80% of the total U.S. rig count – with the balance largely natural gas related.

We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. The United States has imposed tariffs on a variety of imported products, including steel and aluminum. In response to the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, the European Union and several other countries, including Canada and China, have threatened and/or imposed retaliatory tariffs. In addition, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,

-33-

governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other countries have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. The effect of these sanctions and tariffs and the application and interpretation of existing trade agreements and customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations continue to evolve, and we continue to monitor these matters. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products, or if the prices we have to pay for these products increase and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with respect to potential costs in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause our customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred, would adversely affect our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

Other factors that can affect our business and financial results include but are not limited to: the general global economic environment (including disruptions in the banking sector); competitive pricing pressures; public health crises; natural disasters; labor market constraints; supply chain disruptions; inflation in wages, materials, parts, equipment and other costs; climate-related and other regulatory changes; geopolitical conflicts and tensions; and changes in tax laws in the United States and international markets. We continue to monitor the global economy, the prices of and demand for crude oil and natural gas, and the resultant impact on the capital spending plans and operations of our customers in order to plan and manage our business.

-36-

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022

We reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $12.9 million, or $0.20 per share, which included facility consolidation charges of $2.5 million ($2.0 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share) and patent defense costs of $0.6 million ($0.5 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share). These results compare to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $9.5 million, or $0.15 per share, which included a gain of $6.1 million ($4.6 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share) recognized in connection with the settlement of a litigation matter.

Increased capital investments by our offshore and international customers, together with our internal cost control and strict capital discipline measures and other corporate actions, resulted in improvements in our consolidated results in 2023. The favorable impact of continued growth in offshore and international project activity and associated backlog conversion was partially offset by the impact of an industry-wide decline in U.S. well completions (the U.S. year-end rig count declined 20% from December 2022) – triggered by weaker commodity prices.

Revenues. Consolidated total revenues in 2023 increased $44.6 million, or 6%, from 2022.

Consolidated product revenues in 2023 increased $33.0 million, or 9%, from 2022, driven primarily by higher customer demand for project-driven production facility and connector products. Consolidated service revenues in 2023 increased $11.6 million, or 3%, from 2022 due primarily to increased customer project spending internationally.

Cost of Revenues (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization Expense). Our consolidated total cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization expense) increased $28.3 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022.

Consolidated product costs in 2023 increased $21.4 million, or 7%, compared to 2022 due primarily to the reported revenue growth as well as higher material, transportation, labor and other costs. Consolidated service costs in 2023 increased $6.9 million, or 3%, compared to 2022, due primarily to the impact of higher revenue levels and increased labor and other costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $94.2 million in 2023, which included $0.6 million of legal and other costs associated with enforcing certain of our patents. Excluding these patent defense costs, selling, general and administrative costs decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, from 2022, due primarily to reductions in short-term incentive and bad debt expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $6.6 million, or 10%, in 2023 compared to the prior-year period, due to certain intangible assets reaching the end of their economic life coupled with reduced capital investments made in our Well Site Services segment in recent years. Note 14, “Segments and Related Information,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements presents depreciation and amortization expense by segment.

Other Operating Income, Net. In 2023, other operating income, net included gains on disposals of assets totaling $4.1 million, partially offset by charges of $2.5 million recognized in connection with our ongoing consolidation of certain manufacturing and service locations within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment. Other operating income, net for 2022 included a gain of $6.1 million recognized in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation against certain service providers within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment.

Operating Income. Our consolidated operating income was $23.2 million in 2023, which included the $2.5 million in facility consolidation charges reported within other operating income, net and the $0.6 million in patent defense costs reported within selling, general and administrative expense. This compares to a consolidated operating income of $2.9 million in 2022, which included the $6.1 million gain (discussed above) recognized within other operating income, net. Excluding these charges and prior-year litigation gain, operating income increased $29.4 million year-over-year.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense totaled $8.2 million in 2023, which compares to $10.3 million in 2022. Interest expense as a percentage of total debt outstanding was approximately 7% in 2023, compared to 6% in 2022.

Income Tax. For 2023, our income tax provision was $2.9 million on pre-tax income of $15.8 million, which included certain non-deductible expenses, discrete tax items and reductions in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets. This compares to an income tax provision of $5.5 million on a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million for 2022, which included certain non-deductible expenses and discrete tax items.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Reported comprehensive income (loss) is the sum of reported net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income was $9.0 million in 2023 compared to a comprehensive loss of $12.9 million in 2022 due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar for certain of the international operations of our operating segments. For 2023 and 2022, currency translation adjustments recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) were primarily attributable to the United Kingdom and Brazil. During 2023, the exchange rates for the British pound and the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar. In 2022, the exchange rate for the British pound weakened compared to the U.S. dollar, while the Brazilian real strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar.

Segment Operating Results

Offshore/Manufactured Products

Revenues. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment revenues increased $59.5 million, or 16%, in 2023 compared to 2022 due primarily to increased demand for international and offshore-project driven products and services.

Operating Income. Our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment reported operating income of $65.3 million in 2023, which included the $2.5 million in facility consolidation charges. This compares to operating income of $45.3 million in 2022, which included a $6.1 million gain recognized in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation. Excluding the facility consolidation charges and prior-year litigation gain, operating income increased $28.6 million year-over-year due primarily to the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment’s reported revenue growth and lower bad debt expense, partially offset by the impact of higher material, transportation, labor and other costs.

Backlog. Backlog in our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment totaled $333 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $308 million as of December 31, 2022. Bookings during 2023 totaled $472 million, yielding a year-to-date book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x.

Well Site Services

Revenues. Our Well Site Services segment revenues increased $11.4 million, or 5%, in 2023 compared to 2022, driven primarily by higher U.S. customer activity levels during the first half of 2023.

Operating Income. Our Well Site Services segment reported operating income of $13.9 million in 2023, compared to operating income of $4.9 million in 2022. Excluding the 2023 patent defense costs, the Well Site Services segment’s operating results improved $9.6 million from the prior-year period, due to the reported revenue growth and a $3.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increased labor, material and other costs.

Downhole Technologies

Revenues. Our Downhole Technologies segment revenues decreased $26.4 million, or 21%, in 2023 from 2022 due primarily to lower U.S. customer demand for perforating and completion products.

-38-

Operating Loss. Our Downhole Technologies segment reported an operating loss of $14.9 million in 2023, compared to an operating loss of $6.7 million reported in 2022. This year-over-year increase in operating loss is due primarily to the reported decrease in the Downhole Technologies segment’s revenue, $1.1 million in incremental non-cash provisions for excess and obsolete inventory as well as higher labor, material and other costs.

Corporate

Operating Loss. Corporate expenses in 2023 increased $0.6 million, or 1%, from 2022, with the impact of higher personnel and marketing costs partially offset by lower short-term incentive and professional service expenses.

-39-

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund operating and capital expenditures, new product development and general working capital needs. In addition, capital has been used to fund strategic business acquisitions, repay debt and fund share repurchases. Our primary sources of funds are cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under our credit facilities and, less frequently, capital markets transactions.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations totaled $56.6 million during 2023, compared to $32.9 million provided by operations during 2022.

During 2023, $21.0 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to increases in inventories as well as decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. During 2022, $34.7 million was used to fund net working capital increases, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during 2023 totaled $25.6 million, compared to $22.7 million used in investing activities during 2022.

Capital expenditures totaled $30.7 million and $20.3 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively. These investments were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $5.3 million and $5.9 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In 2022, we acquired E-Flow Control Holdings Limited, a global provider of fully integrated handling, control, monitoring and instrumentation solutions. The purchase price of $8.1 million (net of cash acquired) was funded with cash on-hand.

Within our Offshore/Manufactured Products segment, we completed the consolidation of certain facilities in Houston, Texas during 2023 and are in the process of strategically relocating our Asian manufacturing and service operations from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. With these consolidations, two facilities are classified as held-for-sale assets within prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2023.

Including the planned construction of a new facility in Batam, we expect to invest approximately $40 million in capital expenditures during 2024. In 2024, we also expect to sell the two held-for-sale facilities (in Singapore and Houston), with expected proceeds ranging between $35 million and $40 million. We plan to fund our capital expenditures with available cash, internally generated funds and, if necessary, borrowings under our ABL Facility discussed below.

Financing Activities

During 2023, net cash of $26.7 million was used in financing activities, which included the repayment of the $17.3 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes and the repurchases of $6.9 million of our common stock. This compares to $20.3 million of cash used in financing activities during 2022, which included a cash payment of $10.0 million related to the settlement of a promissory note to the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. (discussed below) and the purchase of $8.7 million principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Notes.

On June 28, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement with the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. (acquired in 2018), which provided for the full and final settlement of all amounts due under a promissory note to the seller of GEODynamics, Inc. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on July 1, 2022, we paid the seller $10.0 million in cash and issued approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock.

As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $47.1 million, which compared to $42.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, $135.0 million principal amount of our 2026 Notes (as defined below) outstanding and other debt of $3.1 million. Our reported interest expense included amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million during 2023. For 2023, our contractual cash interest expense was $7.8 million, or approximately 5% of the average principal balance of debt outstanding.

We believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity available under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to obtain capital for additional projects to implement our growth strategy over the longer term will depend upon our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global banking and financial markets, stakeholder scrutiny of ESG matters and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In this regard, the effect of multiple U.S. bank failures in 2023 resulted in significant disruptions to global banking and financial markets. For companies like ours that support the energy industry, these disruptions negatively impacted the value of our common stock and may reduce our ability to access capital in the bank and capital markets or result in such capital being available on less favorable terms, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity.

On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related information and risks. A final rule is expected to be released in the first half of 2024, but we cannot predict the final form and substance of the rule and its requirements at this time. The ultimate impact on our business is uncertain but, upon finalization, we and our customers may incur increased compliance costs related to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks. We may also face increased litigation risks related to disclosures made pursuant to the rule if finalized as proposed. In addition, enhanced climate disclosure requirements could accelerate the trend of certain stakeholders and lenders in restricting access to capital or seeking more stringent conditions with respect to their investments in us, our customers and other companies like ours that support the energy industry. For more information on our risks related to climate change, see the risk factors in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled, “Our and our customers’ operations are subject to a series of risks arising out of the threat of climate change that could result in increased operating costs, limit the areas in which oil and natural gas production may occur, and reduce demand for the products and services we provide,” “The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy and could impose new costs on our customers’ operations” and “Increasing attention to ESG matters may impact our business.”

Stock Repurchase Program. On February 16, 2023, the Board authorized $25.0 million for the repurchases of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, through February 2025. Subject to applicable securities laws, such purchases will be at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate. As of December 31, 2023, $6.9 million of share repurchases have been made under this authorization.

Revolving Credit Facility. On February 10, 2021, we entered into a senior secured credit facility, which provides for a $125.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “ABL Facility”) under which credit availability is subject to a borrowing base calculation. On February 16, 2024, we amended the ABL Facility to extend the maturity date to February 16, 2028.

The ABL Facility is governed by a credit agreement, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “ABL Agreement”). The ABL Agreement, as amended, matures on February 16, 2028 with a springing maturity 91 days prior to the maturity of any outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $17.5 million. See Note 7, “Long-term Debt,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the ABL Agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $15.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, but no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Agreement. The total amount available to be drawn as of December 31, 2023 was $76.1 million, calculated based on the then-current borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit.

2026 Notes. We issued $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “2026 Indenture”), between us and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor trustee. The 2026 Notes will mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

The 2026 Indenture contains certain events of default, including certain defaults by us with respect to other indebtedness of at least $40.0 million. See Note 7, “Long-term Debt,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the 2026 Notes. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert, or requiring us to repurchase the 2026 Notes, had been met.

2023 Notes. On February 15, 2023, our 2023 Notes matured and the outstanding $17.3 million in principal amount was repaid in full.

Our total debt represented 16% and 18% of our combined total debt and stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Contractual Obligations. As discussed above, we believe that cash on-hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the coming twelve months. The following summarizes our more significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2023, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in thousands):

Operating lease obligations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as operating lease liabilities while the right-of-use assets are included within operating lease assets.

(4)Our purchase obligations primarily relate to open purchase orders.

Contingencies and Other Obligations. We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters.

See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.

Availability and Cost of Products. We use a variety of domestically produced and imported raw materials and component products, including steel, in the manufacture of our products. The United States has imposed tariffs on a variety of imported products, including steel and aluminum. In response to the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, the European Union and several other countries, including Canada and China, have threatened and/or imposed retaliatory tariffs. The effect of these tariffs and the application and interpretation of existing trade agreements and customs, anti-dumping and countervailing duty regulations continue to evolve, and we continue to monitor these matters. If we encounter difficulty in procuring these raw materials and component products as a result of tariffs, supply chain disruptions or other events, or if the prices we have to pay for these products increase and we are unable to pass corresponding cost increases on to our customers, our financial position, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, uncertainty with respect to potential costs in the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells could cause our customers to delay or cancel planned projects which, if this occurred, would adversely affect our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

Tax Matters. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 10, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K for additional information with respect to tax matters.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of December 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which require that we make numerous estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions, thus impacting our reported results of operations and financial position. The critical accounting policies and estimates described in this section are those that are most important to the depiction of our financial condition and results of operations and the application of which requires our most subjective judgments in making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We describe our significant accounting policies more fully in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Our revenue contracts may include one or more promises to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, which is referred to as a “performance obligation,” and to which revenue is allocated. We recognize revenue and the related cost when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. The majority of our significant contracts for custom engineered products have a single performance obligation as no individual good or service is separately identifiable from other performance obligations in the contracts. For contracts with multiple distinct performance obligations, we allocate revenue to the identified performance obligations in the contract. Our product sales terms do not include significant post-performance obligations.

Our performance obligations may be satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenues from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 34%, 35% and 35% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of our revenue recognized at a point in time is derived from short-term contracts for standard products offered by us. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Indicators we consider in determining when transfer of control to the customer occurs include: right to payment for the product, transfer of legal title to the customer, transfer of physical possession of the product, transfer of risk and customer acceptance of the product.

Revenues from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 66%, 65% and 65% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The majority of our revenue recognized over time is for services provided under short-term contracts, with revenue recognized as the customer receives and consumes the services provided by our segments. In addition, we manufacture certain products to individual customer specifications under short-term contracts for which control passes to the customer as the performance obligations are fulfilled and for which revenue is recognized over time.

For significant project-related contracts involving custom engineered products within the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment (also referred to as “project-driven products”), revenues are typically recognized over time using an input measure such as the percentage of costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion for each contract (cost-to-cost method). Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. We believe this method is the most appropriate measure of progress on large contracts. Billings on such contracts in excess of costs incurred and estimated profits are classified as a contract liability (deferred revenue). Costs incurred and estimated profits in excess of billings on these contracts are recognized as a contract asset (a component of accounts receivable).

Contract estimates for project-related contracts involving custom engineered products are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. Changes in assumptions that may affect future project costs and margins include production efficiencies, the complexity of the work to be performed and the availability and costs of labor, materials and subcomponents.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, contract-related estimates are reviewed regularly. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss will be incurred on the contract, the loss is recognized in the period it is identified.

Cost of goods sold includes all direct material and labor costs and those costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. As presented on our consolidated statements of operations, costs of goods sold excludes depreciation and amortization expense. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that we collect from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of products.

Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets

Our long-lived tangible assets totaled $302.4 million, representing 29% of our total assets as of December 31, 2023, and our long-lived intangible assets totaled $153.0 million, representing 15% of our total assets. The remainder of our assets largely consisted of cash, accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.

-43-

An assessment for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets is conducted at the asset group level whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset group may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Indicators of impairment might include persistent negative economic trends affecting the markets we serve, recurring losses or lowered expectations of future cash flows to be generated by our assets. When necessary, the amount of impairment is determined based on the excess of carrying value over fair value of the asset group, using quoted market prices, if available, or our judgment as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their estimated useful lives.

With the decline in operating results reported by the Downhole Technologies segment in 2023, we assessed the carrying value of the segment’s long-lived tangible and intangible assets by comparing management’s estimates of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. This assessment indicated that the segment’s long-lived assets were recoverable. No other indicators of impairment were identified in 2023 that would indicate that the carrying values of our other long-lived tangible and intangible assets were not recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment losses were recorded. However, management actions, competitive market conditions or industry cyclicality and downturns may result in future changes to our estimates of projected cash flows, or their timing, and could potentially cause future impairment to the values of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
