Influence of Oil and Gas Activity Levels on the Company’s Business

 

The oil and gas industry in which the Company participates has historically experienced significant volatility. Demand for the Company’s services and products depends primarily upon the general level of activity in the oil and gas industry worldwide, including the number of drilling rigs in operation, the number of oil and gas wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of these wells, the volume of production, the number of well completions and the level of well workover activity. Oil and gas activity is heavily influenced by, among other factors, oil and gas prices worldwide. High levels of drilling and well-remediation activity spur direct demand for the Company’s products and services used to drill and remediate oil and gas wells, particularly in Tubular Services and Drilling Services. Additionally, high levels of oil and gas activity increase cash flows for drilling contractors and well-remediation oilfield service contractors to reinvest in capital equipment which the Company sells through its Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products groups.

 

Drilling and workover activity can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time, particularly in the United States and Canada. The willingness of oil and gas operators to make capital expenditures to explore for and produce oil and natural gas will continue to be influenced by numerous factors over which the Company has no control, including: the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to maintain oil price stability through voluntary production limits of oil; the level of oil production by non-OPEC countries; worldwide demand for oil; the supply and demand for natural gas; general economic and political conditions; costs of exploration and production; and the availability of new leases and concessions and governmental regulations regarding, among other things, environmental protection, taxation, price controls and product allocations.

 

Low petroleum prices adversely affected the Company’s business in the second half of 1998 and throughout 1999 as drilling and well remediation activity declined. The Company’s overall revenues grew in 1998, but declined steadily through 1999 and 2000 as the Company completed orders for Drilling Equipment Sales placed in 1997 and early 1998. Strengthening oil and gas prices in late 1999 and 2000 led to recoveries in the Company’s Tubular Services and Drilling Services groups as drilling and well remediation activity rose during the period. Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products revenues began to rise in late 2000 as drilling contractors and well service companies began to invest in new capital equipment following the higher levels of oilfield activity in 2000. Drilling activity began to decline in mid-2001 due to lower oil and gas prices. The Company’s Drilling Services and Tubular Services revenue began to decline in late 2001, and backlog levels for the Company’s Drilling Equipment Sales and Coiled Tubing Wireline Products divisions also began to decline in late 2001, as a result.

 

The Drilling Process

 

Oil and gas wells are usually drilled by a drilling rig using a bit attached to the end of drill stem made up of 30-foot joints of drill pipe. Using the conventional rotary drilling method, the drill stem is turned from the rotary table (the revolving or spinning section of the floor) of the drilling rig by torque applied to the “kelly” (a square or hexagonal section of pipe located at the top of the drill stem) by means of the master bushing and kelly

 

2


bushing. A kelly bushing is an adapter that connects the kelly to the rotary table, which in turn provides rotating force that rotates the drill pipe. A master bushing is a general purpose adapter that connects the rotary table to a range of types of bushings, including kelly bushings. A master bushing is used when a number of different bushings are required during the drilling process. During the drilling process heavy fluids (“drilling muds”) are pumped down through the drill stem and forced out through the bit. The drilling mud returns to the surface through the hole area surrounding the drill stem, carrying with it the cuttings drilled out by other specialized equipment. The cuttings are removed from the mud by a solids control system which can include shakers, centrifuges and the like and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. The solids control system permits the mud to be continuously recirculated back into the hole. The drilling mud also serves to contain pressure surges of gas, oil or water (“kicks”) that may intrude into the borehole from the formation. Corrosive fluids may be in the formation or in materials used in the drilling process. Accordingly, it is prudent for operators to protect the expensive drill stem from such corrosive fluids, and to inspect and assess the integrity of the drill pipe from time to time.

 

As the hole depth increases, the kelly must be removed frequently so that additional 30-foot joints of pipe can be added to the drill stem, which through this process may be assembled into lengths in excess of six miles. When the bit becomes dull, the entire drill stem is pulled out of the hole and disassembled, the disconnected sections of pipe are set aside or “racked,” the old bit is replaced and the drill stem is reassembled and lowered back into the hole (a process called “tripping”). During drilling and tripping operations, tool joints must be screwed together and tightened (“spun in” and “made up”), and loosened and unscrewed (“broken out” and “spun out”). When the hole has reached certain depths, all of the drill pipe is pulled out of the hole and larger diameter pipe known as casing is lowered into the hole and cemented in place in order to protect against collapse and contamination of the hole. The integrity of the casing is typically assessed before it is lowered into the hole.

 

The raising and lowering of the drill stem while drilling or tripping, and the lowering of casing into the wellbore (the open hole of the well), are accomplished with the rig’s hoisting system. A conventional hoisting system is a block and tackle mechanism, and the drilling rig’s derrick must have sufficient structural integrity to support the entire weight of the drill stem or casing string.

 

During the drilling process it is possible for formation fluids, such as natural gas, water or oil, to get into the wellbore, creating additional pressure which, if not controlled, could lead to a “blowout” of the well. A blowout is an uncontrolled flow of fluids into the well or to the surface of the well. To prevent blowouts, a series of high-pressure valves known as blowout preventers (“BOPs”) are positioned at the top of the well and, when activated, form pressure tight seals which prevent the escape of fluids. When closed, conventional BOPs prevent normal rig operations and are activated only if drilling mud and normal well control procedures cannot safely contain the pressure. BOPs have been designed to contain pressure of up to 15,000 psi.

 

After the well has reached its total depth and the final section of casing has been set, the drilling rig is moved off of the well and the well is prepared to begin producing oil or gas in a process known as “well completion.” Well completion usually involves running production tubing concentrically in the casing. Due to the corrosive nature of many produced fluids, this production tubing is often coated, or constructed of corrosion resistant composite materials. From time to time, a producing well may undergo workover procedures to extend its life and increase its production rate. Frequently coiled tubing units or wireline units are used to accomplish certain formation stimulations or well completions. Coiled tubing is a recent advancement in petroleum technology consisting of a continuous length of reeled tubing which can be injected concentrically into the production tubing all the way to the bottom of most wells. It permits many operations to be performed without disassembling the production tubing, and without curtailing the production of the well. Wireline winch units are devices which utilize single-strand or multistrand wires used for well-intervention operations, such as lowering tools and transmitting data.

 

Drilling Equipment Sales Group

 

The Company has a long tradition of pioneering innovations such as the top drive and automatic pipe handling systems which improve the efficiency, safety, and cost of drilling operations. The Drilling Equipment

Sales group designs, manufactures and sells a wide variety of top drives (discussed below), automated pipe racking systems, motion compensation systems, rig controls, BOPs, handling tools, drawworks (a device used to raise and lower the drill pipe), risers, rotary tables, and other drilling equipment for both the onshore and offshore markets, and is a leader in the development of innovative drilling systems. A riser is a steel conduit used in offshore drilling that runs from the drilling rig on the water’s surface to the seafloor, allowing drill pipe and other tools to be passed through it to the well. Based on its supply of drilling equipment for most of the newly-constructed harsh environment offshore drilling rigs over the past few years, the Company believes it is the worldwide market leader in several of these product categories. During 2001, the Company also emphasized the land rig market and as a result saw a larger portion of its drilling equipment sales business related to onshore drilling rigs. The Drilling Equipment Sales group sells directly to drilling contractors and oil companies. Demand for its products, several of which are described below, is strongly dependent upon capital spending plans by oil and gas companies and drilling contractors.

 

Top Drives.    The Top Drive Drilling System (“TDS”), originally introduced by Varco in 1982, significantly alters the traditional drilling process. Using the TDS, the drill stem is rotated from its top, rather than by the aforementioned rotary table, by means of a large electric motor. This motor is affixed to rails installed in the derrick and traverses from near the top of the derrick to the rig floor as the drill stem penetrates the earth. Therefore, the TDS eliminates the use of the conventional rotary table for drilling. Components of the TDS also are used to connect additional lengths of pipe to the drill stem during drilling operations.

 

The TDS combines elements of pipe handling tools, as well as hoisting and rotary equipment, in a single system. During drilling operations, elements of the TDS perform functions such as spinning-in and making-up tool joints. It also incorporates a drill pipe elevator, providing the capability to maneuver a stand of pipe into position to be added to the drill string when drilling, or to hold and hoist the entire drill stem. Drilling with a TDS provides several advantages over conventional drilling. It enables drilling with three joints of drill pipe, often reducing by two-thirds the time spent in making connections of drill pipe. In addition, it facilitates “horizontal” and “extended reach” drilling (the practice of drilling wells which deviate substantially from vertical) by providing the ability to rotate the pipe as it is removed from, or replaced into, the hole, thus reducing friction and the incidence of pipe sticking. This can often dramatically reduce drilling “trouble costs”. Trouble costs are costs incurred as a result of unanticipated complications while drilling a well. These costs are often referred to as contingency costs during the planning phase of a well. The TDS also increases the safety of drilling operations.

 

The TDS has demonstrated substantial economic advantages. Users of the system report reductions in drilling time ranging up to 40%. By facilitating extended reach drilling, the TDS increases the area which can be drilled from a given location, such as a fixed platform or man-made island. Thus, the production from a given reservoir of oil can be increased, and the number of costly fixed platforms required to develop the field can be minimized. The TDS has evolved continuously since its initial introduction. Today, the Company’s top drive product line includes several models, each designed to satisfy specific customer requirements.

 

Pipe Racking Systems.    Pipe racking systems are used to handle drill pipe, casing, tubing and other types of pipe (collectively, “tubulars”) on a drilling rig. Vertical pipe racking systems move drill pipe and casing between the well and a storage (“racking”) area on the rig floor. Horizontal racking systems are used to handle tubulars while stored horizontally (for example, on the pipe deck of an offshore rig) and transport it up to the rig floor and raise it to a vertical position from which it may be passed to a vertical racking system.

 

Mechanical vertical pipe racking systems greatly reduce the manual effort involved in pipe handling. The Pipe Handling Machine (“PHM”), introduced by Varco in 1985, provides a fully automated mechanism for handling and racking of drill pipe and drill collars during drilling and tripping operations. It incorporates the spinning and torquing functions of the Automated Roughneck with the automatic hoisting and racking of disconnected joints of pipe. These functions are integrated via computer controlled sequencing, and the Pipe Handling Machine is operated by a person in an environmentally secure cabin. The Automated Roughneck is an automated microprocessor-controlled version of the Iron Roughneck, which was originally introduced by Varco

 

4


in 1976. An Iron Roughneck is an automated device that makes pipe connections on the rig floor and requires less direct involvement of rig floor personnel in potentially dangerous operations.

 

Vertical pipe racking systems are used predominantly on offshore rigs and are found on almost all floating rigs. Horizontal pipe racking systems were introduced by Varco in 1993. They include the Pipe Deck Machine (“PDM”), which is used to manipulate and move tubulars while stored in a horizontal position; the Pipe Transfer Conveyor (“PTC”), which transports sections of pipe to the rig floor; and a Pickup Laydown System (“PLS”), which raises the pipe to a vertical position for transfer to a vertical racking system. These components may be employed separately, or incorporated together to form a complete horizontal racking system, known as the Pipe Transfer System (“PTS”).

 

Hoisting systems are used to raise or lower the drill stem while drilling or tripping, and to lower casing into the wellbore. During 1999, Varco introduced its first “Automated Hoisting System” (“AHS”), which uses an AC-powered motor and a braking system that offers precise proportional control. The AHS automates the repetitive hoisting and drilling operations through the user-friendly, touch-screen Electronic Driller interface. The AHS is smaller and lighter than conventional hoisting systems. The Company received its first order for an AHS in 2000 and delivered the first AHS in 2001.

 

Blow-out Preventers.    BOPs are devices used to seal the space (“annulus”) between the drill pipe and the borehole to prevent an uncontrolled flow of formation fluids and gases. The Drilling Equipment Sales group manufactures three types of BOPs under the Shaffer brandname. Ram and annular BOPs are back-up devices and are activated only if other techniques for controlling pressure in the wellbore are inadequate. When closed, these devices prevent normal rig operations. Ram BOPs seal the wellbore by hydraulically closing rams (thick heavy blocks of steel) against each other across the wellbore. Specially designed packers seal around specific sizes of pipe in the wellbore, shear pipe in the wellbore or close off an open hole. Annular BOPs seal the wellbore by hydraulically closing a rubber packing unit around the drill pipe or kelly or by sealing against itself if nothing is in the hole. The rotating BOP allows operators to drill or strip into or out of the well at low pressures without interrupting normal operations.

 

Varco expanded its BOP line in 1995 with the introduction of a system for achieving Pressure Control While Drilling (PCWD®). This new BOP allows normal drilling operations to proceed while controlling pressures up to 2,000 psi, and will operate as a normal spherical BOP at pressures up to 5,000 psi.

 

In 1998 Varco introduced the NXT® ram type BOP which eliminates door bolts, providing weight and space savings. Its unique features make subsea operation more efficient through faster ram configuration changes without tripping the BOP stack.

 

The Company sells conventional BOP control systems under the registered trademark Koomey®. The Koomey control system is hydraulically activated and is used to operate BOPs and associated valves remotely for both land systems and offshore systems. With the recent increase in deep-water drilling depths, traditional hydraulic control systems are inadequate to activate BOPs, which rest on the ocean floor and may be 5,000 feet or more below the surface. In 1997, Varco introduced the IVth Generation MUX, an electronic control system designed specifically for deep-water applications. In 2001, the Company acquired technology from Maris International related to a continuous circulation device the Company hopes to commercialize.

 

Motion Compensation Systems.    The Drilling Equipment Sales group sells motion compensation equipment under the registered trademark Rucker. Motion compensation equipment stabilizes the bit on the bottom of the hole, increasing drilling effectiveness of floating offshore rigs by compensating for wave and wind action. This group also manufactures tensioners, which provide continuous reliable axial tension to the marine riser pipe (larger diameter pipe which connects floating drilling rigs to the well on the ocean floor) and guide lines on floating drilling rigs, tension leg platforms and jack-up rigs. A jack-up rig is a self-contained combination drilling rig and floating barge, fitted with long support legs that can be raised or lowered independently of each other. An

 

5


important product extension in 1996 was the Riser Recoil System, which provides a safe disconnect when the floating rig encounters an unanticipated need to leave location.

 

Pipe Handling Tools.    The Company’s pipe handling tools are designed to enhance the safety, efficiency and reliability of pipe handling operations. Many of these tools have provided innovative methods of performing the designated task through mechanization of functions previously performed manually. The Drilling Equipment Sales group manufactures various tools used to grip, hold, raise, and lower pipe, and in the making up and breaking out of drill pipe, workstrings, casing and production tubulars including spinning wrenches, manual tongs, torque wrenches and kelly spinners. The spinning wrench is a tool used to screw together and unscrew joints of drill pipe. Manual tongs are used to make up or break out tool joints, while the torque wrench is a hydraulically powered device which performs this function with enhanced safety and precision. The kelly spinner is a pneumatically or hydraulically powered tool used to connect and disconnect the kelly to and from the drill stem as additional lengths of pipe are added while drilling.

 

The Drilling Equipment Sales group also manufactures other tools used in various pipe handling functions. Slips are gripping devices which hold pipe or casing in suspension while in the hole, and they may be either manual, spring or hydraulically operated. Other products, which include safety clamps, casing bushings and casing bowls, are used to hold and guide drill pipe or casing while in the hole. Safety clamps prevent tool strings from being dropped down the well accidentally if the devices securing the string lose their grip. A casing bushing is an adapter used in the rotary table when casing is being inserted into the well to ensure that the casing is centered in the hole, which is critical to the well being cemented properly. A casing bowl secures and seals the upper end of the casing.

 

Rotary Equipment.    Rotary equipment products consist of kelly bushings and master bushings. The kelly bushing applies torque to the kelly to rotate the drill stem and fits in the master bushing which is turned by the rotary table on the floor of the rig. The Drilling Equipment Sales group produces kelly bushings and master bushings for most sizes of kellys and makes of rotary tables.

 

In 1998, Varco introduced the Rotary Support Table for use on rigs with Top Drive Drilling Systems. The Rotary Support Table is used in concert with the TDS to completely eliminate the need for the larger conventional rotary table.

 

Rig Controls.    Drilling consoles, and recently, the V-ICIS, are typically sold as an integral part of a new rig, or as a major upgrade component for an existing rig. In the United States and Canada, most other drilling instrumentation products are usually rented to the drilling contractor or oil company when necessary, and are therefore not permanently installed on the rig. The Company rents this type of equipment within its Drilling Services group. Internationally, nearly all instrumentation equipment is sold to the rig owner and becomes a permanent part of the drilling rig.

 

A significant portion of the sales of Drilling Equipment Sales group is in spare and replacement parts. The Company conducts Drilling Equipment manufacturing operations at facilities across North America and Europe, and maintains sales and service offices in most major oilfield markets. The Company expanded its market presence in Norway when it acquired its agent, Scana IOS Desco AS, in December 2000.

 

Derricks and substructures.    The Company began offering design, fabrication and repair services for derricks and substructures through its acquisition of Morinoak International Ltd. in September 2001. Through Morinoak International, the Company operates engineering and fabrication facilities in Great Yarmouth, England and Aberdeen, Scotland. Morinoak’s service offerings include modification of existing drilling rigs to accept top drives and pipe handling equipment. It also refurbishes, repairs and fabricates structural components from both land and offshore rigs.

 

The products of the Drilling Equipment Sales group are sold in highly competitive markets and its sales and earnings can be affected by competitive actions such as price changes, new product development or improved

availability and delivery. The group’s primary competitors are Hydralift AS, a Norwegian company, National-Oilwell, Inc., Cooper Cameron Corporation, Hydril Company, Stewart and Stevenson Service, Inc., DenCon Oil Tools, Weatherford International, Inc., Aker Maritime AS, Tesco Corporation, and Canrig, a division of Nabors Industries.

 

Tubular Services Group

 

The Company is a leading provider of a variety of tubular services to oil and gas producers, drilling contractors, well-remediation contractors, pipeline operators, and tubular manufacturers and distributors. The Tubular Services group provides tubular inspection services for drillpipe, casing, production tubing, and line pipe at drilling and workover rig locations, at pipe yards owned by its customers, at steel mills and processing facilities manufacturing tubular goods, and at pipe yard facilities which it owns. This group also provides for the internal coating of tubular goods at coating plants worldwide, including a plant opened in Navasota, Texas in 1998, and through licensees in certain locations. The Company operated 11 tubular coating plants worldwide in 2001, and opened a twelth coating plant in the Far East in early 2002. The Company believes it is the leading provider of oil country tubular goods inspection and internal tubular coating services worldwide. Additionally, the Company designs, manufactures and sells high pressure fiberglass tubulars for use in corrosive applications. The Tubular Services group also provides in-place inspection of oil, gas and product transmission pipelines through its application of instrumented survey tools (“smart pigs”) which it engineers, manufactures and operates.

 

The Company’s customers rely on tubular inspection services to avoid failure of tubing, casing, flowlines, pipelines and drillpipe. Such tubular failures are expensive and in some cases catastrophic. The Company’s customers rely on internal coatings of tubular goods to prolong the useful lives of tubulars and to increase the volumetric throughput of in-service tubular goods. The Company’s customers sometimes use fiberglass tubulars in lieu of conventional steel tubulars, due to the corrosion-resistant properties of fiberglass. Tubular inspection and coating services, and fiberglass tubulars, are used most frequently in operations in high-temperature, deep, corrosive oil and gas environments. In selecting a provider of tubular inspection and tubular coating services, oil and gas operators consider such factors as reputation, experience, technology of products offered, reliability and price. Following its December 2000 acquisition of the assets of Smith Fiberglass Products and its 2001 acquisition of the assets of Fibercast, the Company believes it is now the largest provider of fiberglass tubulars to oilfield applications worldwide.

 

Tubular Corrosion Control.    The Company develops, manufactures and applies its proprietary tubular coatings, known as Tube-Kote® coatings, to new and used tubulars. Tubular coatings help prevent corrosion of tubulars by providing a tough plastic shield to isolate steel from corrosive oilfield fluids such as CO2, H2S and brine. Delaying or preventing corrosion extends the life of existing tubulars, reduces the frequency of well remediation and reduces expensive interruptions in production for oil and gas producers. In addition, coatings are designed to increase the fluid flow rate through tubulars by decreasing or eliminating paraffin and scale build-up, which can reduce or block oil flow in producing wells. The smooth inner surfaces of coated tubulars often increase the fluid through-put on certain high-rate oil and gas wells.

 

The Company has a history of introducing new coating products that are custom-engineered to address increasingly corrosive environments encountered in oil and gas drilling and production operations. In 1998, the Company introduced TK®Liner, a fiberglass liner product which offers the strength of steel tubing and the corrosion resistance of fiberglass, and which supplements its traditional plastic coating lines. The Company’s reputation for supplying quality internal coatings is an important factor in its business, since the failure of coatings can lead to expensive production delays and premature tubular failure.

 

In 1997, the Company acquired Fiber Glass Systems, a leading provider of high pressure fiberglass tubulars used in oilfield applications. Fiber Glass Systems has manufactured fiberglass pipe since 1968 under the name “Star®,” and was the first manufacturer of high-pressure fiberglass pipe to be licensed by the API in 1992. The

 

7


Company acquired two fiberglass tubing manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and one in China from A.O. Smith in December 2000 and acquired another U.S. fiberglass tubing manufacturing facility from Fibercast in July 2001, which significantly expanded its manufacturing capabilities and product lines. Like coated tubulars, fiberglass pipe is used to guard against corrosive fluids produced in the oilfield and for use in other corrosive industrial applications.

 

Tubular Inspection.    Newly manufactured pipe sometimes contains serious defects that are not detected at the mill. In addition, pipe can be damaged in transit and during handling prior to use at the well site. As a result, exploration and production companies often have new tubulars inspected before they are placed in service to reduce the risk of tubular failures during drilling, completion, or production of oil and gas wells. Used tubulars are inspected by the Company to detect service-induced flaws after the tubulars are removed from operation. Used drill pipe and used tubing inspection programs allow operators to replace defective lengths, thereby prolonging the life of the remaining pipe and saving the customer the cost of unnecessary tubular replacements and expenses related to tubular failures.

 

The Tubular Services group’s tubular inspection services employ all major non-destructive inspection techniques, including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, magnetic flux leakage and gamma ray. These inspection services are provided both by mobile units which work at the wellhead as used tubing is removed from a well, and at fixed site tubular inspection locations. The group provides an ultrasonic inspection service for detecting potential fatigue cracks in the end area of used drill pipe, the portion of the pipe that traditionally has been the most difficult to inspect. Tubular inspection facilities also offer a wide range of related services, such as API thread inspection, ring and plug gauging, and a complete line of reclamation services necessary to return tubulars to useful service, including tubular cleaning and straightening, hydrostatic testing and re-threading.

 

In 1998, the Company acquired three tubular services businesses to enhance its competitive positions in Norway, Egypt, and the west coast of the United States. Additionally, these acquisitions provided opportunities to achieve consolidation cost savings. In 1999, the Company completed acquisitions of Geo-Ray Oilfield Inspections Ltd. in Canada, and the tubular services business of AGR Services AS in Floro, Norway. In 2001, it acquired the assets of Servizi Ispettiv, a small tubular services business in Italy, and in early 2002, it acquired the assets of A&A Tubular Inspection in California.

 

In addition to its new and used tubular inspection and reclamation services, the Company also offers a comprehensive proprietary tubular inventory management system (TDSTM) which permits the real-time tracking of customer’s tubular inventories within the Company’s facilities. The system permits customers to remotely access and monitor tubular inspection and coating progress.

 

The Company has pioneered many tubular inspection technologies used in the oilfield, and continues to expand its product offering through innovation and acquisition. In 1996, the Company installed its first proprietary high-speed full-body ultrasonic tubular inspection unit (Truscope®). The new service provides 100% ultrasonic coverage of tubulars at a rate of up to 200 feet per minute. In 1997, the Company began offering a proprietary, patented external tubular connection integrity test, the ISO-Gator,TM for use at the rig site. The technology was obtained through the Company’s acquisition of the operating assets of Gator Hawk, Inc. In 1998, the Company introduced a new coiled tubing inspection service with its electromagnetic CT Scope®.

 

Mill Systems and Sales.    The Company engineers and fabricates inspection equipment for steel mills, which it sells and rents. The equipment is operated by steel mills and is used for quality control purposes to detect transverse, longitudinal and three-dimensional defects in the pipe during the high-speed manufacturing process. Each piece of mill inspection equipment is designed to customer specifications and is installed and serviced by the Company. Since 1962, the Company has installed more than 80 units worldwide, in most major steel mills. Equipment is manufactured at the Company’s Houston, Texas and Celle, Germany facilities. Revenue for Mill Systems and Sales fluctuates significantly from year to year due to the timing of negotiating large domestic and export sales contracts, arranging financing and manufacturing equipment.

Pipeline Inspection.    In-place inspection services for oil and gas pipelines identify anomalies in the pipelines without removing or dismantling the pipelines or stopping the product flow, giving customers a convenient and cost-effective method of identifying potential defects in pipelines. The Tubular Services group inspects pipelines by launching a sophisticated survey instrument into the pipeline. Propelled by the product flow, the instrument uses electromagnetics, ultrasonics, and mechanical measurements received on digital and analog media to monitor the severity and location of internal and external pitting-type corrosion as well as other mechanical anomalies in the pipeline, providing a basis for evaluation and repair by the customer. Once the test is complete, the survey instrument is returned to the Company, refurbished and used for future pipeline inspections.

 

Management believes the major competitive factors for Pipeline Services are reputation for quality, service, reliability of obtaining a successful survey on the first run, product technology, price, and technical support on survey interpretation. Demand for the Company’s pipeline services is somewhat dependent on commodity prices, which affects funds available for discretionary pipeline inspection and maintenance expenditures by many pipeline operators. This dependence is most pronounced in international markets. Additionally, significant consolidation in the pipeline industry has caused many pipeline operators to defer inspections in recent years as they re-evaluate their pipeline maintenance programs following mergers and acquisitions. Management believes there are growth opportunities for the Company’s Pipeline Services due to the aging of the worldwide pipeline network, and construction of new pipelines. U.S. regulatory inspection requirements and an extensive pipeline infrastructure in Eastern Europe are additional industry factors expected to contribute to the growth of the Company’s Pipeline Services. Catastrophic pipeline failures in the U.S. in recent years have prompted regulators to require more stringent pipeline inspection, which may increase the demand for pipeline inspection services. Additionally, management believes that the Company’s new digital TruRes® inspection technology and other new software and survey products will provide growth opportunities. The TruRes® technology applies advanced digital computer technology and other advancements within the body of the inspection tool to provide greater measurement sampling density and pipe-body coverage. In 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Geodz, Inc., a software engineering firm, to enhance its pipeline position survey software.

 

The Tubular Services group’s customers include almost all major oil and gas companies, large and small independent producers, national oil companies, drilling contractors, oilfield supply stores, pipeline operators and steel mills. The Company’s competitors in Tubular Services include, among others, ICO Inc., Ameron International Corp, Pipeline Integrity International Ltd., and ShawCor Ltd. In addition, the Tubular Services group competes with a number of smaller regional competitors in tubular inspection. Certain foreign jurisdictions and government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the countries in which this group operates have adopted policies or regulations which may give local nationals in these countries certain competitive advantages. Within the Company’s corrosion control products, certain substitutes such as non-metallic tubulars, inhibitors, corrosion resistant alloys, cathodic protection systems, and non-metallic liner systems also compete with the Company’s products.

 

Drilling Services Group

 

The Company’s Drilling Services group is engaged in the provision of highly-engineered equipment, products and services which separate and manage drill cuttings produced by the drilling process (“Solids Control Services”). Drill cuttings are usually contaminated with petroleum or drilling fluids, and must be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Additionally, efficient separation of drill cuttings enhances the drilling effectiveness of the drilling fluids for re-use. The Company believes it’s Brandt ® business is the market leader in the provision of solids control services to the oil and gas drilling industry worldwide. The Drilling Services group also rents and sells proprietary drilling rig instrumentation packages which monitor various processes throughout the drilling operation, under the name MD/Totco. The group’s rig instrumentation packages collect and analyze data through both analog and digital media, enabling rig personnel to maintain safe and efficient drilling operations. The Company believes it is the largest provider of drilling rig instrumentation packages worldwide.

 

Solids Control.    The Drilling Services group uses a variety of technologies to separate drill cuttings from drilling fluid, and to further transport, dry and refine drill cuttings for safe disposal. The Company believes the

regulatory and industry trends towards minimizing the environmental impact of drilling operations in a number of environmentally sensitive oil and gas producing regions will lead to greater demand for solids control products and closed loop drilling systems. A closed loop drilling system is a solids control system in which the drilling mud is reconditioned and recycled throughout the drilling process on the rig itself. The Company further believes the trend towards more technically complex drilling, including highly deviated directional wells and slim-hole completions, will favorably impact the demand for solid controls technology because of its ability to reduce costly downhole problems. As environmental constraints are increased and as awareness of environmental protection grows, the Company believes that its drill cuttings separation and treating processes will find increased demand.

 

The Company has a history of introducing new solids control products and services obtained both through its internal development and through acquiring or licensing technologies from others. The Company acquired the Gumbo Chain from Nu-Tec, Inc. in 1997, a product to remove sticky shale or “gumbo,” which is encountered in certain geologic environments, from drilling fluid. In 1998, the Company initiated operations with a proprietary unit which removes hydrocarbons from drill cuttings using heat, a process called “Thermal Desorption”. The processed cuttings are rendered inert and can be disposed of with minimal environmental impact. The Company commenced operation of a second drill cuttings thermal desorption unit in the first quarter of 1999 and expects to commence operations on its third unit in 2002. The Company began offering the VSM 300 shale shaker, a high performance, high priced machine, in 1996. A shale shaker is the primary device on an oil rig for removing drill solids from drilling mud. The VSM 300 was the first shale shaker which offered a balanced elliptical vibratory motion, which improves cuttings conveyance and reduces oil on cuttings. The Company also introduced its new Cobra® shale shaker in 1998. The Cobra® has a small footprint and a lightweight design, and is priced to compete in the more price-sensitive segment of the market. The Company began offering the King Cobra shale shaker in 1999. The King Cobra is approximately one third larger than the Cobra Shaker, and also targets the price sensitive segment of the drilling market. The Company acquired M.S.D. Inc. in 1998 in order to enhance its cuttings slurrification and injection capabilities. In 1999, the Company acquired Manufacturas Rowi, C.A. (Rowica), a Venezuelan solids control company, and the solids control assets of Newpark Resources, Inc. (“Newpark”). In early 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Angelle Construction, Inc. to enhance its cuttings transport business.

 

The Drilling Services group manufactures conventional and linear motion shale shakers, high speed and conventional centrifuges, screens, desanders (which remove large drill solids from drilling mud), desilters (which remove small drill solids from drilling mud), degassers (which remove air and gasses from drilling mud) and closed loop drilling fluids systems at its facilities in Conroe, Texas; Houston, Texas; and Aberdeen, Scotland. The group markets solids control equipment under the Brandt® brand name. For the year ended December 31, 2001, approximately 42% of the Drilling Services group’s solids control equipment revenue was generated from the sale of solids control equipment and inventory, and approximately 58% of such revenue was generated from rentals and services.

 

In 1999, the Company entered into an alliance agreement with Newpark under which the Company, subject to certain conditions, became the exclusive provider of Solids Control Products and Services to Newpark in the United States. The alliance agreement further provides that Newpark, subject to certain conditions, is the exclusive provider of oilfield waste services to the Company in the Gulf Coast market.

 

Drilling Rig Instrumentation.    The Drilling Services group’s rig instrumentation systems provide drilling rig operators real time measurement and monitoring of critical parameters required to improve rig safety and efficiency. Systems are typically comprised of several sensors placed throughout the rig to measure parameters such as weight on bit, hookload, standpipe pressures, mud pump strokes, drilling mud levels, torque, and others, all networked back to a central command station for review, recording and interpretation. Additionally, the rig instrumentation packages typically provide multiple CRT screens around the rig for various rig personnel to perform individual jobs more effectively, and cameras for certain areas to permit remote monitoring. The Company offers proprietary touch-screen displays, interpretive software, and data archival and retrieval

 

10


capabilities. In 1999, the Company introduced its RigSense product, which combines leading hardware and software technologies into an integrated drilling rig package. It recently completed a successful test to permit access of drilling data from offsite locations, which will enable company personnel to monitor drilling operations from an office environment, through a secure link. In 2001, the Company completed the acquisitions of Chimo Equipment Ltd. in Canada; Alberta Instruments Ltd. in Canada; Adair Supply & Rentals, Inc. in Corpus Christi, TX; and Wagner Instrumentation Inc. in Houston, TX; which were all engaged in drilling rig instrumentation business.

 

The group’s customers for Drilling Services include almost all major oil and gas companies, large and small independent producers, national oil companies, and drilling contractors. Competitors in Drilling Services include Smith International (“SWACO”); Derrick Manufacturing Corp.; Oil Tools Pte. Ltd; National Oilwell Inc.; Petron Industries, Inc.; Epoch, a division of Nabors Industries; Pason Systems, Inc., a Canadian company and a number of regional competitors. The Company’s Drilling Services group operates in highly competitive markets. Management believes that on-site service is becoming an increasingly important competitive element in the Drilling Services market. Management believes that, in addition to on-site services, the principal competitive factors affecting its Drilling Services business are performance, quality, reputation, customer service, product availability, breadth of product line and price.

 

Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products Group

 

The Company’s Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products group sells capital equipment and consumables to most of the major oilfield coiled tubing and wireline remediation and drilling service providers. The Company believes it is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of coiled tubing units, coiled tubing pressure control equipment and wireline pressure control equipment and one of the leading manufacturers of wireline units used in oil and gas well remediation, completion and drilling operations. The Company, through its January 2001 acquisition of Quality Tubing, Inc., also manufactures steel coiled tubing used by well remediation contractors and oil and gas producers. The Company believes it is the second largest producer of coiled tubing worldwide. Demand for the group’s Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products is strongly dependent upon the capital spending plans of coiled tubing and wireline service companies, and the general level of well remediation activity.

 

Coiled Tubing Products.    Coiled tubing consists of flexible steel tubing manufactured in a continuous string and spooled on a reel. It can extend several thousand feet in length and is run in and out of the wellbore at a high rate of speed by a hydraulically operated coiled tubing unit. A coiled tubing unit is typically mounted on a truck or skid (steel frames on which portable equipment is mounted to facilitate handling with cranes or flatbed trucks) and consists of a hydraulically operated tubing reel or drum, an injector head which pushes or pulls the tubing in or out of the wellbore, and various power and control systems. Coiled tubing is typically used with sophisticated pressure control equipment which permits the operator to continue to safely produce the well. The Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products group manufactures and sells both coiled tubing units and the ancillary pressure control equipment used in these operations.

 

Coiled tubing provides a number of significant functional advantages over the principal alternatives of conventional drillpipe and workover pipe. Coiled tubing allows faster “tripping,” since the coiled tubing can be reeled very quickly on and off a drum and in and out of a wellbore. In addition, the small size of the coiled tubing unit compared to an average workover rig reduces preparation time at the well site. Coiled tubing permits a variety of workover and other operations to be performed without having to pull the existing production tubing from the well and allows ease of operation in horizontal or highly deviated wells. Thus, operations using coiled tubing can be performed much more quickly and, in many instances, at a significantly lower cost. Finally, use of coiled tubing generally allows continuous production of the well, eliminating the need to temporarily stop the flow of hydrocarbons. As a result, the economics of a workover are improved because the well can continue to produce hydrocarbons and thus produce revenues while the well treatments are occurring. Continuous production also reduces the risk of formation damage which can occur when the flow of fluids is stopped or isolated.

Currently, most coiled tubing units are used in well remediation and completion applications. The Company believes that advances in the manufacturing process of coiled tubing, tubing fatigue protection and the capability to manufacture larger diameter and increased wall thickness coiled tubing strings have resulted in increased uses and applications for coiled tubing products. For example, well operators are now using coiled tubing in drilling applications such as slim hole reentries of existing wells. The Company engineered and manufactured the first coiled tubing units built specifically for coiled tubing drilling in 1996.

 

There are certain limitations to the use of coiled tubing. Coiled tubing generally is made of high strength, alloy steel which wears down or fatigues over time as a result of internal pressure, acidic operating environments and normal bending cycles. Thus, operators must carefully monitor the use of the tubing. In addition, coiled tubing will buckle if the weight of the coiled tubing being conveyed in the wall becomes too great or if the tube becomes inhibited by some obstacle or irregularity in the wellbore. Buckling has not proven to be a significant obstacle in most well remediation applications, and the Company believes it will become less of an issue as a result of the availability of stronger and larger diameter coiled tubing.

 

Generally, the Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products group supplies customers with the equipment and components necessary to use coiled tubing, which the customers typically purchase separately. The group’s coiled tubing product line consists of coiled tubing units, coiled tubing and wireline pressure control equipment, wireline units, pressure pumping equipment, snubbing units (which are units that force tubulars into a well when pressure is contained within the wellbore), nitrogen pumping equipment and cementing, stimulation and blending equipment. The group markets its coiled tubing equipment under the Hydra Rig® brand name primarily to providers of coiled tubing drilling and workover services. The Company’s primary coiled tubing unit production facilities are located at its Hydra Rig facility in Fort Worth, Texas. In addition, the group markets coiled tubing pressure control equipment under the Texas Oil Tools® brand name and manufactures this equipment at its facility in Conroe, Texas. The Company’s 2001 acquisition of Bradon Industries added a significant manufacturing plant in Canada, where it sells equipment now under the brand name Hydra Rig Canada. It also added additional nitrogen-pumping products and technologies through its 2001 acquisition of Albin’s Enterprises in Duncan, Oklahoma. Additionally, the Company began offering its “TEM” cementing equipment and fabricating nitrogen pumping units in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in December 1997, when it acquired Tulsa Equipment Manufacturing Company.

 

Wireline Products.    Through its 1996 acquisitions of SSR (International) Ltd. and Pressure Control Engineering Ltd., its 1998 acquisition of Hydrolex and Eastern Oil Tools Pte. Ltd, and its 2001 acquisition of Elmar Services, Ltd., the Company believes that it has assembled one of the leading positions in the wireline unit and pressure control manufacturing business, expanded its offering of downhole coiled tubing tools and added manufacturing facilities in Poole and Aberdeen, in the United Kingdom; Perth, Australia; and Singapore.

 

The Company’s acquisition of Eastern Oil Tools Pte. Ltd. in June, 1998 and Elmar Services Ltd. in August, 2001 also added perforating guns to its offering of products. Additionally, the Company acquired Weston Oilfield Engineering Limited in Norwich, United Kingdom, in December 1998, which strengthened its coiled tubing unit refurbishing, servicing and spare parts business, as well as added new cryogenic nitrogen technologies.

 

The Company has a history of engineering new technologies and products for its Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products markets. It recently introduced the DSH “Sidedoor” Stripper/Packer, which allows packer and bushing replacement while the operator has coiled tubing in the wellbore, and the CT Slimhole BHA Jetting Tool Assembly, a small diameter jetting tool which can traverse small diameter well completion configurations.

 

The Company’s customers for Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products include almost all major oil and gas coiled tubing service companies, as well as major oil companies, national oil companies, and small independents. Competitors in Coiled Tubing & Pressure Control Products include Stewart & Stevenson Inc., Precision Tube Technology, Maritime Hydraulics AS, ASEP, National Oilwell Inc. and several smaller competitors.

Seasonal Nature of the Company’s Business

 

Historically, the level of the Company’s business has followed seasonal trends to some degree, which are described below.

 

In past years, the Company’s Tubular Services and Drilling Services businesses in the United States realized lower activity levels during the first quarter of the calendar year due to delays in the approval of drilling budgets and weather restrictions. The Company’s tubular inspection, tubular coating, solids control, and rig instrumentation businesses in Canada typically realized high first quarter activity levels as operators took advantage of the winter freeze to help gain access to remote drilling and production areas, and then declined during the second quarter due to warmer weather conditions which resulted in thawing, softer ground, difficulty accessing drill sites, and road bans that curtailed drilling activity. In past years, Tubular Services activity in both the United States and Canada increased during the third quarter and then peaked in the fourth quarter as operators spent the remaining drilling and/or production capital budgets for the year.

 

The pipeline inspection portion of Tubular Services has typically experienced reduced activity during the first quarter of the calendar year. The high winter demand for gas and petroleum products in the northern states and the consequent curtailment of pipeline maintenance and inspection programs resulted in less opportunity to perform pipeline inspection during this time. During the second quarter, activity has typically begun to increase

 

13


and normally has continued at relatively stable levels through the end of the year as operators finished scheduled maintenance programs. Mill systems sales and industrial inspection services have had no particular seasonal trend. The timing of mill equipment sales is not easily predictable and, accordingly, revenue tends to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

 

In general, Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products have experienced lower revenue in the fourth quarter due to major customers placing orders, based on their budgeting process, in the fourth quarter for delivery during the next three quarters. This process may change in the future as a major customer has changed to a continuous budgeting process and will place orders throughout the year. There can be no guarantees that this trend will continue or that any other customer will change its ordering process.

 

In general the Drilling Equipment Sales group has not experienced significant seasonal fluctuation. There can be no guarantee that seasonal effects will not influence future drilling equipment sales.

 

The Company anticipates that these seasonal trends will continue. However, there can be no guarantee that spending by the Company’s customers will continue or that other customers will remain the same as in prior years.

 

Marketing & Distribution Network

 

The Company’s products are marketed through a sales organization and a network of agents and distributors, which spans 49 countries.

 

The Company’s Drilling Equipment Sales customers include private and government-owned oil companies, drilling contractors, drilling rig manufacturers, rental tool companies, and supply companies, which supply oilfield products to the end users of the Company’s products.

 

Drilling Equipment, such as the Automated Roughneck, Top Drive Drilling System, pipe racking systems, and pressure control and motion compensation equipment, as well as the Varco integrated control and information systems (“V-ICIS”), represent significant capital expenditures and are usually sold directly to an oil company, drilling contractor or rig builder. Other drilling equipment products may be sold through supply stores or directly to government-owned oil companies or drilling contractors.

 

The Company’s Tubular Services customers include major and independent oil and gas companies, national oil companies, oilfield equipment and product distributors and manufacturers, drilling and workover contractors, oilfield service companies, pipeline operators, steel mills, and other industrial companies. Certain tubular inspection and tubular coating products and services often are incorporated as a part of a tubular package sold by tubular supply stores to end users. Tubular Services primarily has direct operations in the international marketplace, but operates through agents in certain markets.

 

The Company’s Drilling Services customers are predominantly major and independent oil and gas companies, national oil companies and drilling contractors. The Drilling Services group operates sales and distribution facilities at strategic locations worldwide to service areas with high drilling activity. The Company’s worldwide Solids Control and Instrumentation sales employees are complemented by service and engineering facilities which provide specialty repair and maintenance services to customers.

 

The Company’s Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products are primarily sold directly to end users through a worldwide Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products sales organization. The Company also has in place certain exclusive alliances with major oilfield service companies to provide pressure control equipment.

 

The Company’s foreign operations, which include significant operations in Canada, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Latin America, are subject to the risks normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including uncertain political and economic environments, which may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair

 

14


compensation. Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the countries in which the Company operates have adopted policies (or are subject to governmental policies) giving preference to the purchase of goods and services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result of such policies, the Company relies on joint ventures, license arrangements and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries. In addition, political considerations may disrupt the commercial relationship between the Company and such government-owned petroleum companies. Although the Company has not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from nationalistic policies, political instability, economic instability or currency restrictions, there can be no assurance that such a problem will not arise in the future. See Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding geographic revenue information.

 

Research and New Product Development and Intellectual Property

 

The Company believes that it is a leader in the development of new technology and equipment to enhance the safety and productivity of the drilling and the well stimulation process and that its sales and earnings have been dependent, in part, upon the successful introduction of new or improved products. Additionally, the Company believes that its strong market position in its major businesses is enhanced by its leading technologies and reputation for innovation and expertise. Through its internal development programs and certain acquisitions, the Company has assembled an extensive array of technologies protected by a substantial number of trade and service marks, patents, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights.

 

As of December 31, 2001, the Company held a substantial number of United States patents and had patent applications pending. Expiration dates of such patents range from 2002 to 2019. As of such date, the Company also had foreign patents and patent applications pending relating to inventions covered by the United States patents. Additionally, the Company maintains a substantial number of trade and service marks and maintains a number of trade secrets.

 

Although the Company believes that this intellectual property has value, competitive products with different designs have been successfully developed and marketed by others. The Company considers the quality and timely delivery of its products, the service it provides to its customers and the technical knowledge and skills of its personnel to be more important than its intellectual property in its ability to compete. While the Company stresses the importance of its research and development programs, the expense and market uncertainties associated with the development and successful introduction of new products are such that there can be no assurance that the Company will realize future revenues from new products.

 

Engineering and Manufacturing

 

The manufacturing processes for the Company’s products generally consist of machining, welding and fabrication, heat treating, assembly of manufactured and purchased components and testing. Most equipment is manufactured primarily from alloy steel, and the availability of alloy steel castings, forgings, purchased components and bar stock is critical to the production and timing of shipments. Within the Drilling Equipment Sales group, automated Roughnecks, Top Drive Drilling Systems, and pipe handling systems are manufactured in Orange, California; pressure control and motion compensation equipment, riser pipe and riser tensioners are manufactured at facilities in Houston, Texas; rotating and handling tools are manufactured at the Company’s facilities in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands, and Mexicali, Mexico; and derricks and structural rig components are manufactured in Aberdeen, Scotland and Great Yarmouth, England.

 

The Company’s Drilling Services group manufactures or assembles the equipment and products which it rents and sells to customers, and which it uses in providing solids control. In addition to producing new solids control and instrumentation equipment and products, Drilling Services also produces spare parts for sale. Drilling Services manufactures screens used in its solids control operations and for sale to others at its New Iberia, Louisiana; Conroe, Texas; Leduc, Alberta; and Couva, Trinidad facilities; manufactures solids control equipment at its facilities in Houston, Conroe, and Aberdeen; and manufactures instrumentation equipment at its Cedar Park, Texas facility.

The Tubular Services group manufactures tubular inspection equipment and instrumented pipeline inspection tools at its Houston, Texas facility for resale, and renovates and repairs equipment at its manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Conroe, Texas; Bordon, England; Celle, Germany; Nisku, Alberta and Aberdeen, Scotland. Fiber glass tubulars and fittings are manufactured at its San Antonio, Texas; Big Spring, Texas; Little Rock, Arkansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Wichita, Kansas, Harbin, China facilities, while tubular coatings are manufactured in its Houston, Texas facility, or through restricted sale agreements with third party manufacturers.

 

The Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products group manufactures coiled tubing units, wireline units, pressure pumping equipment, pressure control equipment and perforating guns at its Fort Worth, Texas; Conroe, Texas; Duncan, Oklahoma; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Calgary, Canada; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Perth, Australia; and Poole, England facilities.

 

Certain of the Company’s manufacturing facilities and certain of the Company’s products have various certifications, including, ISO 9001, API and ASME.

 

Raw Materials

 

The Company believes that materials and components used in its servicing and manufacturing operations and purchased for sales are readily available at competitive prices from numerous sources.

 

Backlog

 

Sales of the Company’s products are made on the basis of written purchase orders or contracts and, consistent with industry practice, by e-mail, fax, letter or oral commitment later confirmed by a written order. In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally can be cancelled by customers at any time. However, the Company is generally entitled to cancellation fees for expenses and costs incurred prior to the cancellation of orders. In addition, orders and commitments are sometimes modified before or during manufacture of the products. The Company’s backlog is based upon anticipated revenues from customer orders that the Company believes are firm. The level of backlog at any particular time is not necessarily indicative of the future operating performance of the Company.

 

Backlog at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was as follows (in thousands):

Environmental Matters

 

The Company’s manufacturing processes and its inspection, coating and solids control services routinely involve the handling and disposal of chemical substances and waste materials, some of which may be considered to be hazardous wastes. These potential hazardous wastes result primarily from the manufacturing and testing processes and the use of mineral spirits to clean pipe threads during the tubular inspection process and from the coating process, and the handling of and, in normal cases, the disposal of drilling fluids and cuttings on behalf of the drillers and/or producers.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to numerous local, state and federal laws and regulations, including the regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States

 

16


Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United States Department of Transportation. These laws and regulations include the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) including SARA Title III toxic release reporting, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations, and that the compliance and remedial action costs associated with these laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or competitive position, to date.

 

The Company cannot predict the effect on it of new laws and regulations with respect to radioactive hazardous wastes caused by naturally occurring radioactive materials or with respect to other environmental matters. Circumstances or developments which are not currently known as well as the future cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

 

CERCLA imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, for the releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Persons subject to CERCLA include the owner and operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that generated, disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous wastes found at the site. Persons who are responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the resulting contamination and for damages to natural resources. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.

 

Certain third-party owned disposal facilities used by the Company or its subsidiaries have been investigated under state and federal Superfund statutes, and the Company is currently named as a potentially responsible party for cleanup at three such sites. Although the Company’s level of involvement varies at each site, in general, the Company is one of numerous parties named and will be obligated to pay an allocated share of the cleanup costs. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not result in material costs to the Company or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations or financial position.

 

Pursuant to an agreement executed as part of the acquisition of the Company in 1988 from Minstar Inc. (“Minstar”), Minstar has agreed, subject to certain limitations concerning the time for submitting claims and the amount of losses to be covered as described below, to indemnify the Company with respect to all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the production, use, generation, emission, storage, treatment, transportation, disposal or other handling or disposition or migration of any kind of any toxic or hazardous wastes at any time prior to the closing of the 1988 acquisition date. Claims for indemnification were required to be made before May 13, 1992. Minstar is obligated to indemnify the Company for the first $1 million of losses incurred by the Company and fifty percent of losses in excess of $2 million. The Company is solely responsible for the second $1 million of losses incurred and fifty percent of losses in excess of $2 million. See “Item 3—Legal Proceedings” for a description of the indemnity to be provided by Minstar with respect to actions, suits, litigation, proceedings or governmental investigations which may also apply to certain environmental matters.

 

Employees

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company had a total of 8,651 employees (of which 1,175 were temporary employees). The Company considers its relations with its employees to be excellent and has never suffered a work stoppage or interruption due to a labor dispute.

*   Building owned subject to a ground lease.

 

**   Land leased to building owner under a 99 year lease.

 

The Company owns undeveloped acreage next to several of its facilities, including over 100 acres of undeveloped property located in Houston, Texas. Machinery, equipment, buildings, and other facilities owned and leased are considered by management to be adequately maintained and adequate for the Company’s operations.

 

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to the Company’s legal proceedings described below. Litigation is inherently uncertain and may result in adverse rulings or decisions. Additionally, the Company may enter into settlements or be subject to judgments which may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

 

The Company is involved in numerous legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings; however, management believes that none of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no absolute assurance that the indemnity from Minstar discussed below or the Company’s insurance coverage will be sufficient to protect the Company from incurring substantial liability as a result of these proceedings.

 

The Company has been party to two lawsuits that allege wrongful death or injury of former employees resulting from exposure to silica and silica dust during employment with the Company, both of which have been settled. These settlements have been made on the Company’s behalf by the Company’s and Minstar’s insurance carriers without financial loss to the Company. The Company is aware of the possibility that suits may be brought against it by other former employees alleging exposure to silica and silica dust during their employment with the Company. These suits may involve claims for wrongful death under a theory of gross negligence and claims for punitive damages, the amounts of which could be substantial but cannot be predicted. Additionally, the Company has been sued in the past for claims arising out of allegations of exposure to silica, asbestos, benzene and certain other substances alleged to have been used primarily during its processes in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. The Company believes that, based upon insurance and indemnification from Minstar, any such potential claims, if asserted, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

Pursuant to an agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of the Company in 1988, Minstar agreed to hold the Company harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies and expenses (in excess of $1.5 million in the aggregate) arising out of product and/or general liability claims arising out of occurrences on or prior to the closing of the acquisition. In addition, Minstar agreed to hold the Company harmless from any and all losses, liabilities and damages, deficiencies and expenses related to any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation existing or pending on or prior to the closing of the acquisition. Minstar’s obligations to indemnify the Company are subject to limitations concerning the time for submitting claims (within 60 days after the running of the applicable statute of limitations, after factoring in any waivers or extensions of such statute of limitation) and the amount of losses to be covered. There is a dispute with Minstar concerning whether the indemnification referenced above is applicable only if the claim is the type that would be covered by a product or general liability insurance policy.

 

23


The Company firmly maintains that all suits or claims are the responsibility of Minstar when the event giving rise to liability occurred prior to the closing of the acquisition. No assurance can be given, however, that Minstar will not contest responsibility for future suits, including those filed under theories of gross negligence. Management believes that Minstar is responsible for indemnifying it with respect to all of the aforementioned lawsuits subject in certain instances to the $1.5 million basket. In addition, while management believes certain liability arising from certain of the above described suits will be covered by insurance, such suits may be subject to a reservation of rights and the coverage could be contested by the carriers providing such insurance.

 

The Company has settled the litigation styled Derrick Manufacturing Corporation vs. Advanced Wirecloth, Inc., Environmental Procedures, Inc. dba SWECO Oilfield Services et al (Civil Action No. 942417) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, which was a consolidated action with Civil Action No. 95-3653. All claims related to this litigation were settled including, among other things (1) infringement of United States Patent Nos. 4,575,421, 5,417,858, 5,417,859, 5,720,881 and 5,783,077, (2) trademark infringement, (3) unfair competition, (4) false patent marking of products, (5) false advertising under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, and (6) violation of Texas’ Anti-Dilution Act. The specific terms of this settlement are covered by agreements of confidentiality and certain provisions may still be the subject of the protective order issued by the Court. The Company believes that it has indemnity coverage from certain of its insurance carriers for certain of the alleged claims, and also believes its cost of defending this action are covered by insurance. However, this suit is the subject of reservation of rights by certain carriers and coverage could be contested by carriers providing such insurance. The Company is currently aggressively pursuing its claims for costs of defense and indemnity.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

General

 

Business Combination—Merger

 

On May 30, 2000, the stockholders of Tuboscope Inc. (the “Company”) and Varco International, Inc. (“Varco”) approved the merger (the “Merger”) of Varco into the Company through an exchange of .7125 shares of the Company’s stock for each share of Varco. In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name to Varco International, Inc. and its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) symbol from “TBI” to “VRC”.

 

The Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly all prior periods consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the combined results of operations and financial condition. The following management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is based upon such combined results.

 

The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. In connection with the Merger, the Company reorganized into four principal business segments: Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products. See Note 12 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Operating Environment Overview

 

The Company’s results are dependent on the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling and production activity, the prices of oil and gas, capital spending by other oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, pipeline maintenance and construction activity, and worldwide oil and gas inventory levels. Key industry indicators for the past three years include the following:

Oil prices remained strong during the first three quarters of 2001, averaging $27.78 per barrel of West Texas Intermediate Crude during that time period. While each of the first three quarters of 2001 resulted in a sequential decline in the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude, the most significant quarterly decline in 2001 oil prices occurred in the fourth quarter which dropped 24% from the average price in the third quarter of 2001. Natural gas

prices in 2001, however, began to decline in the second quarter of 2001 (off 31% from the first quarter 2001) and continued to drop in the third and fourth quarter of 2001. The decline in oil and gas prices was the result of a weakening worldwide economy during the second half of 2001.

 

The strong oil prices for the majority of 2001 led to an increase in rig activity in the U.S. (26% increase) and international (14% increase) markets. The improvements in rig activity had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations as operating profit (excluding merger, transaction, and litigation costs) was up 100% in 2001 compared to 2000, increasing from $87.5 million to $174.6 million. The increase in activity levels combined with 15 acquisitions in 2001 favorably impacted all four of the Company’s main business segments as 2001 revenue was up 40%, 42%, 26%, and 142% over 2000 revenue in the Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing & Wireline Products business segments, respectively.

 

The Company has executed acquisitions over the past few years as part of its growth strategy. The Company seeks, where possible, to effect consolidation cost savings by integrating acquired businesses with its own. As a consequence, the financial results of acquired businesses may not be separable from the Company’s existing businesses, and therefore may not be readily measurable. Accordingly, the impact of acquisitions on the Company’s overall financial results are difficult to measure. Where the Company provides estimates of incremental revenue and operating profit from acquired businesses, these estimates are based upon management’s judgment.

U.S. Rig activity at February 15, 2002 was 815, a decrease of 8.1% from 887 at December 28, 2001. Compared to February 16, 2001, U.S. rig activity has declined by 28.9%. These declines are forecasted to continue in the first half of 2002, which is expected to have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations, during the first half of 2002, especially in the Tubular Services and Drilling Services business segments.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs Year Ended December 31, 2000

 

Revenue.    Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $1,267.8 million, an increase of $401.2 million, or 46.3%, from revenue of $866.6 million for the year December 31, 2000. There were three main factors related to the increase in revenue: the worldwide increase in rig activity (especially in the U.S.); 15 acquisitions completed in 2001 and two acquisitions completed in December 2000; and the 2001 shipment of several large drilling equipment orders which were originally ordered in 2000. U.S. Inspection, Coating, and Solids Control revenue was up $38.6 million in 2001 primarily as a result of the 26% increase in U.S. rig activity in 2001 over 2000 discussed above. Management believes that acquisitions completed in 2001 and December 2000 contributed approximately $162.2 million of the increase. In addition, the shipment of approximately $44.6 million of major product shipment in 2001 contributed further to the increase. Additional increases are discussed in further detail below by product line.

Revenue from the Company’s Drilling Equipment Sales in 2001 was $395.6 million, an increase of $112.2 million (39.6%) compared to 2000. This increase was due primarily to the 2001 shipment of several large orders placed in 2000. The 2001 results included $27.9 million of revenue related to the projects for Maersk (Hyundai Heavy Industries). In addition, 2001 results included a record year for shipment of top drive systems, as 59 were shipped. New orders for 2001 were $545.9 million, an increase of $230.2 million (72.9%) over 2000. Backlog at December 31, 2001 for the Drilling Equipment Sales group was $251.5 million, an increase of 185.5% over December 31, 2000 backlog of $88.1 million. The increase in orders and backlog was due to an increase in 2001 drilling activity, the receipt of several large rig orders, and a record number of orders for top drive systems. However, backlog at December 31, 2001 was actually down from backlog at September 30, 2001 of $274.3 million (8.3%). The recent decline in backlog was reflective of the declining market activity in the fourth quarter of 2001. In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally are cancellable by customers at any time.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Tubular Services was $352.6 million in 2001, an increase of $104.5 million (42.1%) over 2000 results. U.S. inspection and coating revenue increased $25.4 million (30%) over 2000 results due to increased U.S. rig activity. Also, the Company’s Eastern Hemisphere inspection and coating revenue increased by $13.7 million due to the increase in international activity. In addition, this segment’s fiberglass tubular operations revenue was up $59.7 million due to greater activity levels and the impact of acquisitions completed late in 2000 and in July of 2001. Revenue from the Company’s pipeline inspection operation increased by $6.7 million due to greater demand for pipeline inspection in the U.S.

 

30


 

Drilling Services revenue was $314.3 million in 2001, an increase of $64.0 million (25.6%) over 2000 results. U.S. Solids Control revenue increased $13.2 million (43%) in 2001 compared to 2000 due to a strong U.S. market. In addition, the Company benefited from strong markets and revenue growth in Latin America (up $10.4 million) and the Eastern Hemisphere (up $33.8 million). Also, the Company’s instrumentation business increased $20.4 primarily due to two acquisitions in Canada in 2001.

 

Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products revenue was $205.4 million in 2001, an increase of $120.4 million (141.8%) over 2000 results. The increase was mainly due to the 2001 acquisitions of four Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products companies and greater sales of coiled tubing units and pressure control equipment. The 2001 acquisitions included Quality Tubing (January 2001), Bradon Industries Ltd. (March 2001), Albin’s Enterprises, Inc. (May 2001), and Elmar Services Ltd. (August 2001). Management estimates that these four acquisitions contributed approximately $74.0 million of revenue in 2001 with Quality Tubing contributing approximately $42.8 million of revenue in 2001. The remaining $46.4 million increase was due primarily to greater sales of coiled tubing units and pressure control equipment in 2001 compared to 2000. Backlog for this segment was at $55.9 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $61.2 million at December 31, 2000, a decline of 8.7% and an additional indication of the recent decline in the market.

 

Gross Profit.    Gross profit was $373.5 million (29.5% of revenue) in 2001 compared to $239.6 million (27.6% of revenue) in 2000. The increase in gross profit dollars was due to the greater revenue in 2001 discussed above. The increase in gross profit percentages was due to strong operating leverage in Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products. These strong operating leverages more than offset lower margins from the Drilling Equipment Sales group which was caused by higher engineering costs on certain large sales of drilling equipment units in 2001.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs.    Selling, general, and administrative costs were $152.3 million in 2001, an increase of $32.3 million (27%) over 2000 costs of $119.9 million. Approximately $16.6 million of the increase was due to the 15 acquisitions completed in 2001 and two acquisitions in December 2000. The remaining $15.7 million increase was due primarily to the non-acquisition related growth in revenue in 2001 over 2000. As a percent of revenue, selling, general, and administrative costs were 12.0% of revenue in 2001 compared to 13.8% of revenue in 2000.

 

Research and Engineering Costs.    Research and engineering costs was $46.6 million in 2001, an increase of $14.5 million (45%) compared to 2000 results. Management estimates that the 15 acquisitions completed in 2001 and two acquisitions completed in December 2000 represented $1.2 million of the increase. The majority of the remaining increase was due primarily to greater costs in the Drilling Equipment Sales group.

 

Merger, Transaction, and Litigation Costs.    Merger, transaction, and litigation costs were $16.5 million and $26.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company engaged in a court ordered mediation and as a result recorded a $16.5 million charge concerning a patent litigation matter, which has subsequently been settled (see Item III Legal Proceedings). The 2000 merger and transaction costs included financial advisor fees, full vesting of executive stock matching awards and employment retirement benefits, equipment rationalization write-offs, certain costs related to employment contracts, legal, accounting, and printing costs associated with the Merger.

 

Operating Profit.    Operating profit was $158.1 million for 2001 compared to $60.9 million for 2000. Excluding merger, transaction, and litigation costs, operating profit as a percentage of revenue was 13.8% in 2001 compared to 10.1% in 2000. The improvement in both operating profit dollars and percentages was due to greater revenue and a favorable product mix in 2001 compared to 2000.

 

Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $21.8 million in 2001 compared to $15.3 million in 2000. The increase in interest expense was due to greater average outstanding debt balances as a result of the $200.0 million Senior Notes issued in the second quarter of 2001.

 

31


 

Other Expense (Income).    Other expense includes interest income, foreign exchange losses and gains, and other expense (income). Net other expense was $4.3 million in 2001 compared to other income of $0.2 million in 2000. The increase in other expense was due mainly to the permanent impairment of an investment and lower interest income related to less excess cash on hand in 2001 than 2000.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.    The Company recorded a tax provision of $49.1 million (37.2% of pre-tax income) and $24.8 million (54.1% of pre-tax income) for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These tax provisions were higher than the domestic tax rate of 35%, due to deductions not allowed under domestic and foreign jurisdictions related to merger and transaction costs, and goodwill amortization and to foreign earnings subject to tax rates differing from domestic rates.

 

Net Income.    Net income was $83.0 million and $21.1 million for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in net income was due to the factors discussed above.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2000 vs Year End December 31, 1999

 

Revenue.    Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $866.6 million, a decrease of $109.2 million from the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease was due to a $220.9 million decline in revenue for Drilling Equipment Sales, which reported revenue of $504.2 million in 1999. The decline in Drilling Equipment Sales was a result of a strong 1999, which included the shipment of orders placed during the last new rig construction cycle in 1997 and the first half 1998. This decline was partially offset by increased revenue in Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products, which benefited from the upturn in the oil and gas industry discussed above.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Drilling Equipment Sales in 2000 was $283.4 million, a decline of $220.9 million (43.8%) compared to 1999 due to lower orders in 1999 which resulted in a decline in 2000 shipments of equipment for upgrading, conversion, and new construction of offshore drilling rigs, particularly floating rigs that are capable of drilling in water depths exceeding 3,000 feet. However, new orders for 2000 increased $75.9 million (31.5%) over 1999. Backlog at December 31, 2000 for Drilling Equipment Sales was $88.1 million, an increase of $32.3 million (58.0%) compared to $55.7 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in new orders and backlog was due to an increase in worldwide drilling activity, and the receipt of a $25 million order from Maersk. In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally are cancelable by customers at any time.

 

Revenue from the Company’s Tubular Services was $248.1 million in 2000, an increase of $53.2 million (27.3%) over 1999 results. The increase reflected the change in North America rig activity, which was up 46.0% in 2000 over 1999. The majority of the revenue increase was attributable to North America inspection and coating revenue which was up $33.3 million (46.8%) in 2000 over 1999. Also, this segment’s fiberglass tubular operations approximately doubled in 2000 compared to 1999 (up $15.4 million). Eastern Hemisphere operations, which include Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Far East operations, increased over the prior year as result of greater coating operations in the European and Far East coating plants and greater European inspection revenue.

 

Drilling Services revenue was $250.2 million, an increase of $47.7 million (23.6%) over 1999 results. The increase in North America rig activity also had a favorable impact on the Company’s Drilling Services revenue, as the majority of the revenue increase was in the North America rental and services business for both the segment’s Solids Control and Instrumentation operations. Latin America revenue was also strong as Solids Control revenue in that area increased 59.4% from $40.9 million in 1999.

 

Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products revenue was $84.9 million, an increase of $10.8 million (14.5%) compared to 1999 revenue of $74.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to greater sales of coiled tubing pressure equipment for 2000 compared to 1999. Backlog for this segment was at $61.2 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 241.9% over December 31, 1999 backlog of $17.9 million.

 

32


 

Gross Profit.    Gross profit was $239.6 million (27.6% of revenue) in 2000 compared to $250.5 million (25.7% of revenue) in 1999. Gross profit dollars were down due to lower revenue in 2000. The increase in gross profit percentages was due to strong operating leverage in Tubular Services, Drilling Services, and Coiled Tubing and Wireline products. Cost reductions implemented in the Drilling Equipment Sales product group in 2000 offset some of the impact that the decline in revenue had on gross profit percents.

 

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs.    Selling, general, and administrative costs were $119.9 million in 2000, a decrease of $15.3 million (11.3%) compared to 1999 results. Selling, general, and administrative costs were down primarily in Drilling Equipment Sales in 2000 compared to 1999 as a result of lower revenue. In addition, the Company incurred severance costs throughout 1999 in response to market conditions, which did not repeat in 2000.

 

Research and Engineering Costs.    Research and engineering costs were $32.1 million in 2000, a decrease of $8.0 million (19.9%) compared to 1999 results. The decrease in research and engineering costs is due to reduced engineering resources in Drilling Equipment Sales group in response to the decline in new orders.

 

Transaction Costs and Write-Offs.    Transaction costs and write-offs were $26.6 million and $7.8 million for December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2000 merger and transaction costs included cash and non-cash transaction costs. Cash costs included financial advisor fees of $9.7 million, compensation costs of $4.3 million, and other costs, including legal, accounting and printing costs of $3.9 million. Non-cash transaction costs included $5.1 million to fully vest employees participating in the Executive Stock Match Program and $3.5 million of equipment rationalization write-offs. The 1999 transaction costs consisted of the cost of the cancelled merger with Newpark Resources, Inc. (“Newpark”).

 

Operating Profit.    Operating profit was $60.9 million for 2000 compared to $67.3 million for 1999. Excluding merger and transaction costs, operating profit percent was 10.1% of revenue in 2000 compared to 7.7% of revenue in 1999. The improvement was due to greater gross profit margins as a result of product mix, lower selling, general, and administrative costs, and lower research and engineering costs as discussed above.

 

Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $15.3 million and $18.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. The decrease was due to the reduction of debt in the second quarter of 2000, as cash from Varco was applied to reduce debt upon completion of the Merger.

 

Other Expense (Income).    Other income includes interest income, foreign exchange losses (gains), and other expense (income), which resulted in income of $0.2 million in 2000 compared to income of $1.6 million in 1999. The decline in other income was primarily due to foreign exchange losses in 2000 of $1.1 million compared to a foreign exchange gain in 1999 of $0.5 million.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.    The Company recorded a tax provision of $24.8 million (54.1% of pre-tax income) and $20.3 million (40.5% of pre-tax income) for 2000 and 1999, respectively. These tax provisions were higher than expected, based on a domestic tax rate of 35%, due to deductions not allowed under domestic and foreign jurisdictions related to merger and transaction costs, and goodwill amortization and to foreign earnings subject to tax rates differing from domestic rates.

 

Net Income.    Net income was $21.1 million and $29.8 million for 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decline in net income was due to the factors discussed above.

 

Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $57.5 million, and current and long-term debt of $322.6 million. At December 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents were $12.2 million, and current and long-term debt was $136.5 million. The increase in current and long-term debt in 2001 was due primarily to

 

33


cash paid, notes assumed, and notes issued totaling $168.2 million related to 15 business asset and technology acquisitions in 2001, and the issue on May 1, 2001 of $200.0 million of 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011. The Company’s outstanding debt at December 31, 2001 consisted of $201.5 million (net of discounts) of the 2011 Notes, $99.1 million (net of discounts) of 2008 Notes, and $22.0 million of other debt.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, cash provided by operating activities was $84.0 million compared to $81.8 million for 2000. Cash was provided by operations primarily through net income of $83.0 million plus non-cash charges of $78.0 million. These items were offset to some extent by an increase in accounts receivable of $51.9 million, an increase in inventory of $60.9 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $9.5 million. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other increased by $20.0 million and income taxes payable increased by $25.4 million. The increase in receivables was directly related to a $116.6 million increase in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2001 compared to the same quarter of 2000. Days sales outstanding decreased from 98.7 days at December 31, 2000 to 86.9 days at December 31, 2001. Inventory increased due to an increase in work-in-process as the December 31, 2001 backlog for the Drilling Equipment Sales segment increased $163.5 million from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was due to an increase in prepaid insurance, taxes, and deferred costs on drilling equipment projects. The increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other was due to increased vendor payables and accruals associated with increased operations and greater accrued interest associated with higher outstanding debt balances. The increase in income taxes payable was due to greater pre-tax profit in the fourth quarter of 2001 than the fourth quarter of 2000.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, cash used for investing activities was $212.9 million compared to $64.9 million for the same period of 2000. The Company used approximately $146.0 million of cash to acquire fifteen separate businesses/asset acquisitions during 2001. See Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Capital spending of $65.8 million was related primarily to capital additions for the strong North America market in the Tubular Services and Drilling Services product segments.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company generated $174.9 million of cash from financing activities compared to cash used of $86.7 million in 2000. Cash generated consisted of net borrowings of $164.8 million (primarily from the $200.0 million bonds described in Note 8 to Notes to the Financial Statements) and proceeds from the sale of stock of $10.1 million.

 

On January 30, 2002 the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provided up to $125.0 million of funds under a revolving credit facility. The facility expires on January 30, 2005. The facility is secured by guarantees of material U.S. subsidiaries. The interest rate on the borrowed portion of the revolver is based on the Company’s rating by S&P and Moody’s which at the time of the agreement resulted in an interest rate of Libor + 0.625% or the prime rate. Commitment fees range from 0.1% to 0.25% depending on the Company rating.

 

The Company believes that its December 31, 2001 cash and cash equivalents, its new credit facility, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditures and its operating cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In preparing the financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments related to bad debts and inventory obsolescence; impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill and our reserves for product warranty claims. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contains the accounting policies governing each of these matters. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that are believed to be reasonable; the combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

 

Reserves for bad debts are determined on a specific identification basis when we believe that the required payment of specific amounts owed to us is not probable. Substantially all of our revenues come from international oil companies and government-owned or government-controlled oil companies and we have receivables in many foreign jurisdictions. If, due to changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity or changes in economic conditions in foreign jurisdictions, our customers were unable to repay these receivables, additional allowances would be required.

 

Reserves for inventory obsolescence are determined based on our historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our substantial installed base and the development of new products. Changes in worldwide oil and gas drilling activity and the development of new technologies associated with the drilling industry could require additional allowances to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of its cost or net realizable value.

 

Accruals for warranty claims are provided based on historical experience at the time of sale. Product warranties generally cover periods from one to three years. Our accruals for warranty claims are affected by the size of our installed base of products currently under warranty, as well as new products delivered to the market. Periodically, as actual experience proves different from historical estimates, additional provisions are required.

 

The determination of impairment on long-lived assets, including goodwill, is conducted as indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators were present, the determination of the amount of impairment would be based on our judgments as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their estimated useful lives. Our industry is highly cyclical and our estimates of the period over which future cash flows will be generated, as well as the predictability of these cash flows, can have a significant impact on the carrying value of these assets and, in periods of prolonged down cycles may result in impairment charges.

 

Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

 

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward looking statements

 

35


are those that do not state historical facts and are inherently subject to risk and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties are set forth below.

 

The oil and gas industry in which the Company participates historically has experienced significant volatility. Demand for the Company’s services and products depends primarily upon the number of oil and gas wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of such wells, the volume of production, the number of well completions, the capital expenditures of other oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, the level of pipeline construction and maintenance expenditures, and the level of workover activity. Drilling and workover activity can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time, particularly in the United States and Canada.

 

The willingness of oil and gas operators to make capital expenditures for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas will continue to be influenced by numerous factors over which the Company has no control, including the prevailing and expected market prices for oil and natural gas. Such prices are impacted by, among other factors, the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to maintain price stability through voluntary production limits, the level of production of non-OPEC countries, worldwide demand for oil and gas, general economic and political conditions, costs of exploration and production, availability of new leases and concessions, and governmental regulations regarding, among other things, environmental protection, taxation, price controls and product allocations. No assurance can be given as to the level of future oil and gas industry activity or demand for the Company’s services and products.

 

The Company’s foreign operations, which include significant operations in Canada, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Latin America, are subject to the risks normally associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including uncertain political and economic environments, which may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without fair compensation. Government-owned petroleum companies located in some of the countries in which the Company operates have adopted policies (or are subject to governmental policies) giving preference to the purchase of goods and services from companies that are majority-owned by local nationals. As a result of such policies, the Company relies on joint ventures, license arrangements and other business combinations with local nationals in these countries. In addition, political considerations may disrupt the commercial relationship between the Company and such government-owned petroleum companies. Although the Company has not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from nationalistic policies, political instability, economic instability or currency restrictions, there can be no assurance that such a problem will not arise in the future.

 

The Company’s solids control, inspection and coating services routinely involve the handling of waste materials, some of which may be considered to be hazardous wastes. The Company is subject to numerous local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning the containment and disposal of materials, pursuant to which the Company has been required to incur compliance and clean-up costs, which were not substantial in 2001, 2000, and 1999. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations due to currently unknown circumstances or developments, however, could result in substantial costs and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s recent growth in revenues and profitability has been the result of its aggressive acquisition program. The Company’s future operating results will be impacted by the Company’s ability to identify additional attractive acquisition opportunities, consummate such acquisitions on favorable terms and successfully integrate the operations of the acquired businesses with those of the Company.

 

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company does not believe it has a material exposure to market risk. The Company has historically managed its exposure to interest changes by using a combination of fixed rate debt, variable rate debt, interest

 

36


swap and collar agreements in its total debt portfolio. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had no interest rate swap or collar agreements outstanding. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $322.6 million of outstanding debt. Fixed rate debt included $201.5 million of Senior Notes (net of discounts) at a fixed rate of 7 1/4% and $99.1 million of Senior Notes (net of discounts) at a fixed interest rate of 7 1/2%. With respect to foreign currency fluctuations, the Company uses natural hedges to minimize the effect of rate fluctuations. When natural hedges are not sufficient, generally it is the Company’s policy to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge significant transactions for periods consistent with the underlying risk. The Company had no forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2001. The Company does not enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Varco International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Varco International, Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income, common stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Varco International, Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its income and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.    Basis of Presentation

 

Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Merger

 

On May 30, 2000, the Company completed a merger with Varco International, Inc., a California corporation (“Varco”), by exchanging 46.8 million shares of its common stock for all of the common stock of Varco (the “Merger”). Each share of Varco’s stock was exchanged for .7125 of one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, outstanding Varco stock options were converted at the same exchange ratio into options to acquire approximately 2.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the merger, the Company changed its name to Varco International, Inc., and its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) symbol from “TBI” to “VRC”.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, all prior period consolidated financial statements were restated to include the combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Varco.

 

Revenues and net income, before merger and transaction costs, related to the Merger of the separate companies prior to the completion of the Merger on May 30, 2000, were as follows (in thousands):

In connection with the Merger, the Company incurred $26,570,000 of transaction costs in the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. Cash and accrued cash transaction costs included financial advisor fees of $9,714,000, compensation costs of $4,308,000 and other costs, including legal, accounting and printing costs of $3,948,000. Non-cash transaction costs included $5,072,000 to fully vest employees participating in the Executive Stock Match Program and $3,528,000 of equipment rationalization write-offs.

 

As a result of the Merger, certain executives and key employees of the Company may, upon termination of their employment, be entitled to enhanced severance benefits pursuant to their severance agreements with the Company. It is not possible to estimate the number of executives or key employees who may voluntarily or involuntarily terminate their employment with the Company; accordingly, no amounts have been provided for such payments. The maximum amount that would be paid pursuant to all such severance agreements is approximately $16,800,000.

 

There were no material transactions between the Company and Varco prior to the Merger. The effects of conforming Varco’s accounting policies to those of the Company were not material.

VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

 

Nature of Business and Risk Factors

 

The Merger created one of the world’s leading drilling equipment and services company. The combined company carries market leadership positions in each of its four principal business segments: Drilling Equipment Sales, Tubular Services, Drilling Services and Coiled Tubing and Wireline Products. The Company provides its customers with the most comprehensive range of drilling rig equipment and services and tubular services in the industry. A more detailed description of products and services is provided in Note 12 Business Segments and Foreign Operations.

 

The Company’s overall results depend largely on the level of worldwide oil drilling and production activity, the prices of oil and gas, and worldwide oil and gas inventory levels. Demand for the Company’s Drilling Equipment Sales is largely dependent on the level of offshore drilling activity. Demand for the Company’s Tubular Services is based on the relatively low cost of its services compared to the costs to a customer of a failure or interruption in service. Demand for the Company’s Drilling Services is due to the reduction of drilling costs in land and offshore drilling operations, and its ability to help minimize the environmental impact of drilling operations. Demand for the Company’s Coiled Tubing & Wireline equipment is due to the economic benefits Coiled Tubing equipment provides in oil and gas workover operations versus conventional techniques, including quicker service time, and the continuous production of the well.

 

The Company operates in over 49 countries around the world. Its revenues are geographically concentrated in North America (50%), Latin America (13%), Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (27%), and the Far East (8%). As a result of its international presence, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks normally associated with conducting businesses in foreign countries, including uncertain political and economic environments, which may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without compensation. In addition, the Company has significant customer concentrations in the Middle East, Latin America and the Far East whose spending can be volatile based on oil price changes, the political environment and delays in the government budget. Adverse changes in individual circumstances can have a significant negative impact on the financial performance of the Company.

The Company’s products and services are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts with the customer that include fixed or determinable prices and that do not include right of return or other similar provisions or other significant post delivery obligations. The Company records revenue at the time its manufacturing process is complete, the customer has been provided with all proper inspection and other required documentation, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer and when collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company also recognizes revenue on bill-and-hold transactions where the product has been completed and is ready to be shipped, however at the customer’s request, the Company is storing the product on the customers’ behalf for a brief period of time, typically less than one year. Customer advances or deposits are deferred and recognized as revenue when the Company has completed all of its performance obligations related to the sale. The Company also recognizes revenue as services are performed.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt approximated fair values as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 except for the Company’s $100,000,000 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2008, and $200,000,000 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011. Based on information provided by a national brokerage company, the $100 million Senior Notes were valued at $103,030,000 and $95,369,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the $200 million Senior Notes were valued at $199,960,000 at December 31, 2001.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from customers in the oil and gas industry, both in the United States and internationally. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. In certain circumstances, the Company requires letters of credit to further insure credit worthiness.

 

Reserve for bad debts are determined on a specific identification basis when we believe that the required payment of specific amounts owed to us is not probable. Accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $11,517,000 and $10,199,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company determines the cost of inventories using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for its Drilling Equipment Sales inventory and the weighted average method for other inventory. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are determined based on our historical usage of inventory on-hand as well as our future expectations related to our substantial installed base and the development of new products. Inventory is net of our reserve of excess and obsolete inventory of approximately $31,028,000 and $23,333,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes and generally by the accelerated or modified accelerated costs recovery systems for income tax reporting purposes. Estimated useful lives are 30 years for buildings and 5-12 years for machinery and equipment. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to income as incurred. Major repairs and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The depreciation of fixed assets recorded under capital lease agreements is included in depreciation expense. Property and equipment depreciation expense was $53,781,000, $44,789,000, and $45,387,000, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

 

Identified intangibles

 

Identified intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis, over estimated useful lives between 5 and 40 years, and are presented net of accumulated amortization of approximately $26,369,000 and $23,544,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Identified intangibles consist primarily of technology, patents, trademarks, license agreements, existing service contracts and covenants not to compete.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Such excess costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over lives ranging from 10-40 years depending on

 

F-8


VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

the estimated economic life. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $55,361,000, and $44,904,000, respectively. On an annual basis, the Company estimates the future estimated undiscounted cash flows of the business to which goodwill related in order to determine that the carrying value of the goodwill had not been impaired.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. Long-lived assets expected to be disposed of, including excess equipment and production facilities held for sale, are stated at their estimated fair value less cost to sell.

 

Warranty Accruals

 

Accruals for warranty claims are provided based on historical experience at the time of sale. Product warranties generally cover periods from one to three years. Our accruals for warranty claims are affected by the size of our installed base of products currently under warranty, as well as new products delivered to the market.

 

Environmental Liabilities

 

When environmental assessments or remediations are probable and the costs can be reasonable estimated, remediation liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.

 

Income taxes

 

The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized. The provision for income taxes is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133). As amended SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. This statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement was adopted effective January 1, 2001 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Foreign exchange rates

 

Revenue and expenses for foreign operations have been translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates and reflect currency exchange gains and losses resulting from transactions conducted in other than functional currencies.

 

 

F-9


VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The assets and liabilities of certain foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and the related translation adjustments are recorded directly in stockholders’ equity. For subsidiaries which operate in countries which have highly inflationary economies, certain assets are translated at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in the statements of income.

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock option grants to employees in accordance with the intrinsic value method.

 

Earnings per common share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting net income for after-tax interest expense on convertible debt and dividing that number by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus shares which would be assumed outstanding after conversion of convertible debt, vested stock options and outstanding stock warrants under the treasury stock method.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive earnings per share (net income in thousands):

Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year classifications.

New Accounting Standards

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141), and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under SFAS 141 all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under SFAS 142, intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives (including goodwill) will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Accordingly, the Company did not amortize any goodwill purchased after June 30, 2001. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

 

The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of SFAS 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $10,500,000 per year (or $0.11 per share). Based on preliminary tests, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 142 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The effects of not amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets in periods prior to adoption of SFAS 142 follows (in millions, except per share data):

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 requires a company to recognize a liability associated with a legal obligation to retire or remove any tangible long-lived assets. The new statement is effective beginning in 2003 and the Company is currently evaluating if it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144). This new statement supercedes FASB statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of (SFAS 121), however, it retains the fundamental provisions of long-lived assets to be “held and used.” The new statement provides implementation guidelines and will be effective for the Company in 2002. SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but it is expected to effect certain of the Company’s accounting policies.

The total net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2001 is comprised of $6,618,000 of net current tax assets and $18,604,000 net noncurrent deferred tax liabilities.

 

The Company has made provision for additional taxes on the anticipated repatriation of certain earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. Undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries in excess of the amount already provided is considered permanently reinvested. It is not practical to determine the amount of federal income taxes, if any, that might become due in the event that the balance of such earnings were to be distributed.

 

At December 31, 2001 the Company has approximately $6,268,000 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, the majority of which have an indefinite life. The Company has a valuation allowance of $913,000 against these net operating losses as the Company believes that the corresponding deferred tax asset

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

may not be fully realizable. The change in valuation allowance from 2000 to 2001 was primarily due to the expiration of net operating losses associated with the allowances. In addition, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $6,576,000 which will begin to expire in 2003.

 

The Company is currently engaged in tax audits and appeals in various tax jurisdictions. The years covered by each audit or appeal vary considerably among legal entities. Assessments, if any, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Senior Notes

 

On February 25, 1998, the Company issued $100,000,000 of 7 1/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (“2008 Notes”). On May 1, 2001, the Company issued $200,000,000 7 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011 (“2011 Notes”). The 2008 Notes and 2011 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and individually “Guarantor”). Each of the guarantees is an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and ranks pari passu with the guarantees provided by and the obligations of such Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement and with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of such Guarantor for borrowed money that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to such guarantee.

 

Senior Credit Agreement

 

In 1996, the Company entered into a Senior Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders which ranks pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Credit Agreement provides for a $130,000,000 advance/term loan facility (the “term loan facility”), a

 

F-16


VARCO INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

$100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “revolving facility”), and a $5,000,000 agent swingline facility (the “swingline facility”). At December 31, 2001, the Company paid the remaining balance for the term loan facility. The revolving facility and swingline facility expired in August 2001.

 

New Revolver Facility

 

On January 30, 2002, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provided up to $125.0 million of funds under a revolving credit facility. The facility expires on January 30, 2005. The facility is secured by guarantees of material U.S. subsidiaries. The interest rate on the borrowed portion of the revolver is based on the Company’s rating by S&P and Moody’s which at the time of the agreement resulted in an interest rate of LIBOR + 0.625% or the prime rate. Commitment fees range from 0.1% to 0.25% depending on the Company rating.

 

Other

 

Based upon information obtained from a national brokerage company at December 31, 2001, the fair value of the 2008 Notes was approximately $103,030,000, and the fair value of the 2011 Notes was $199,960,000. The carrying value of the Company’s other debt, approximates its fair value. Other debt includes $8,208,583 in promissory notes due to former owners of businesses acquired who remain employed by the Company.

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $13,963,000.

 

9.    Retirement and other Benefit Plans

 

During the periods reported, substantially all the Company’s U.S. employees were covered by defined contribution retirement plans. The Company also has a deferred compensation plan for its highly compensated employees to permit retirement contributions in excess of the statutory limits. Employees may voluntarily contribute up to 15% of compensation, as defined, to these plans. The participants’ contributions were matched by the Company up to a maximum of 4% of compensation or at the discretion of the Board of Directors, a percentage of net income. Participants are permitted to invest in a Company stock fund under these plans. Under these plans, Company contributions were approximately $5,014,378, $4,721,000, and $6,846,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

 

For certain executives, the Company has a supplemental defined benefits plan providing retirement and death benefits. The plan is unfunded and the net pension liability was $6,211,550 and $5,917,432 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As a result of the Merger, all participants became fully vested with full service credit until age 65. In 2001, the plan was amended to include current executive officers of the Company. Expense under the plan was $430,294, $1,949,000, and $770,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

 

For certain former employees who retired prior to December 31, 1993, healthcare and life insurance benefits are provided through insurance companies. In 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No 106, “Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” The transition obligation is being amortized over 20 years. In 2001, the plan was amended to cover current executive officers of the Company upon their retirement.

 

The assumed weighted-average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits is 12.0% for 2001 and is assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% for 2010 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2001, by $964,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 2001 by $58,000.

10.    Common Stockholders’ Equity

 

In 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated 1996 Equity Participation Plan increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to be granted to officers, key employees of the Company, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors from 3,450,000 to 7,650,000 shares. Options granted under the plan to key employees are generally exercisable in installments over three years starting one year from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan to non-employee members of the Board of Directors are exercisable in installments over four year periods starting one year from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. In connection with the Merger, options outstanding under previous plans will maintain the terms under which the options were granted. These terms allow options granted to key employees and non-employee directors to be exercisable in installments from one to five years starting one year from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.

For options granted during 2001, 2000, and 1999, the weighted-average fair value at date of grant was $13.37, $6.35, and $3.61 per option, respectively. Assuming that the Company had accounted for its stock-based employee compensations plans using the alternative fair value method, the Company’s pro forma net income would have been $76,703,000, $16,275,000 and $25,249,000 and pro forma dilutive earnings per share would have been $0.79, $0.17, and $0.27 for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

 

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively; risk free interest rates of 5.5%; expected lives of contracts of 3 to 10 years; and volatility of 52.6 percent, 52.9 percent, and 54.8 percent.

 

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of its fair market value at the lesser of the beginning or end of a six-month plan period. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold 229,397 shares under this plan.

 

During 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of $20,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under this program, the Company repurchased 1,424,700 shares at a cost of $15,330,000 during 1998.

 

Stockholder Rights Plan

 

During 2000, the Company adopted a stockholder rights plan (“Rights Plan”). As part of the Rights Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (“Right”) for each share of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on December 4, 2000 and each new share issued subsequently.

 

The rights will become exercisable, with certain exceptions, upon the earlier to occur of (i) ten days following the announcement that a person or group has acquired or obtained the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock, or (ii) ten days following the announcement or commencement of a tender offer which would result in a person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Once exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of the Company’s Preferred Stock at a price of $75.00. If a person or group (other than L.E. Simmons and his affiliates) acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, each Right, once exercisable and excluding any Rights held by the acquiring person or group, will entitle its holder to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company having a market value of two times the then current exercise price of the Right. In addition, if at any time after such an acquisition, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

earning power are sold, each outstanding Right, once exercisable and excluding any Rights held by the acquiring person or group, will entitle its holder to purchase shares of Common Stock of the acquiring company having a market value of two times the then current exercise price of the Right.

 

Following the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock and prior to an acquisition of the Company in a merger or other business combination transaction, a sale of 50% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or earning power or an acquisition of 50% or more of the Common Stock, the Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than rights held by the acquiring person or group), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right.

 

Prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock, the Rights are subject to redemption at the option of the Board of Directors at a price of $0.01 per Right. The Rights currently trade with the Company’s Common Stock, have no voting or dividend rights and expire on December 4, 2010.

 

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings for events which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

 

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2049. These leases generally contain renewal options and require the lessee to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other operating expenses in addition to the minimum annual rentals. Rental expense related to operating leases approximated $31,210,000, $29,159,000, and $27,146,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company engaged in a court ordered mediation and as a result recorded a $16,500,000 charge concerning a patent litigation matter, which has subsequently been settled. In connection with the Merger in 2000, the Company incurred $26,570,000 of transaction costs during the following quarters of 2000: $23,596,000 (second quarter), $1,164,000 (third quarter), and $1,810,000 (fourth quarter). During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company and Newpark Resources Inc. (“Newpark”) announced that they had jointly elected to form operational alliances in key market areas rather than proceed with the proposed merger which was agreed to in June 1999. Transaction costs and write-offs of $7,808,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter of 1999 related to costs associated with the proposed Newpark merger and the write-off of the Company’s investment in its disposal business which the Company exited as part of its alliance agreement with Newpark.

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), effective January 1, 2002. The effects of not amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets in periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 142 would have resulted in an increase in quarterly net income of approximately $2.6 million ($.03 per share) in 2001 and approximately $2.1 million ($.02 per share) in both 2000 and 1999.
