2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Some of the Company’s more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition and asset recoverability tests and inventories.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues through the sale of products, the sale of services and the leasing of running tools. The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over-time method, rental tools and services separately. Modifications to the scope and price of sales contracts may occur in the form of variations and change orders. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation, as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may instead choose to use a third party or its own personnel.

Leasing revenues

The Company earns leasing revenues from the rental of running tools. Revenues from rental of running tools are recognized on a day rate basis over the lease term, which is generally between one to three months.

On April 30, 2021, as a result of lower activity stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, AFGlobal Corporation provided a 90-day written notice of termination of the lease agreement between the Company and AFGlobal in relation to the Company’s forge facility and equipment at its Houston Eldridge campus.

Based on the initial 5-year term of the lease agreement, the Company had straight-lined the total anticipated lease revenue for that initial term into equal monthly lease revenue. As a result of the lease termination, the Company has approximately $2.3 million in unbilled revenue that was expensed in second quarter of 2021. Leasing revenue from renting this facility that was not recognized due to the termination of the lease agreement was approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company has numerous other forging suppliers and does not expect any disruptions in forging supply as a result of the lease termination.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate our property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. We assess recoverability based on undiscounted future net cash flows. Estimating future net cash flows requires us to make judgements regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts are uncertain in that they require assumptions about our revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions and technological developments. If changes in these assumptions occur, our expectations regarding future net cash flows may change such that a material impairment could result.

Restructuring and Other Charges

During the first half of 2021, the Company incurred additional costs under our existing 2018 global strategic plan to realign manufacturing facilities globally. These charges were primarily related to the restructuring of our downhole tools business where we exited certain underperforming countries and markets and shifted from manufacturing in-house to a vendor sourcing model. The Company has concluded its 2018 global strategic plan and did not incur any additional costs in the third quarter of 2021. During the first half of 2020, the overall offshore market conditions declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and developments in global oil markets. As such, we incurred additional costs under our existing 2018 global strategic plan to realign our manufacturing facilities globally. These charges are reflected as "Restructuring and other charges" in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Repurchase of Equity Securities

On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase plan has no set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. The manner, timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, liquidity and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at the Company’s discretion.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company purchased 45,225 shares under the share repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $25.02 per share totaling approximately $1.1 million and has retired such shares.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 808,389 shares under the share repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $30.91 per share totaling approximately $25.0 million and has retired such shares. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased no shares under the share repurchase plan.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock awards using the treasury stock method.

In each relevant period, the net income used in the basic and dilutive earnings per share calculations is the same. The following table reconciles the weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average diluted number of common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
	(In thousands)
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		35,387		35,049		35,386		35,255
Dilutive effect of common stock awards		-		200		-		-
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		35,387		35,249		35,386		35,255

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has excluded the following common stock options and awards because their impact on the income/(loss) per share is anti-dilutive (in thousands on a weighted average basis):


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
