Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” "FET," “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production. We are an environmentally and socially responsible company headquartered in Houston, Texas with manufacturing, distribution and service facilities strategically located throughout the world.

Basis of Presentation

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

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim period.

These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2022.

COVID-19 Impacts

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and world economies which led to significant reductions in demand for crude oil. During 2021, distribution of vaccines resulted in reopening of certain economies and increasing demand for oil and natural gas. However, ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks and related work restrictions continue to contribute to disruptions in global supply chains which have led to inflationary pressures for certain goods and services. We anticipate that our liquidity, financial condition and future results of operations will continue to be impacted by ongoing developments from the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022

Convertible Debt. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. In addition, this update also makes targeted changes to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Disaggregated Revenue

Refer to Note 10 Business Segments for disaggregated revenue by product line and geography.

Contract Balances

Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, we record a contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.

The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		Increase / (Decrease)
					$		%
Accrued revenue	$	1,240	$	2,245
Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings	15,020		8,285
Contract assets	$	16,260	$	10,530	$	5,730	54	%
Deferred revenue	$	7,904	$	7,276
Billings in excess of costs and profits recognized	5,851		9,705
Contract liabilities	$	13,755	$	16,981	$	(3,226)	(19)	%

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our contract assets increased by $5.7 million due to increasing project activity for process oil treatment equipment in our Production Equipment product line and our contract liabilities decreased by $3.2 million primarily due to lower customer advance payments for projects in our Subsea product line.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $10.8 million of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

As all of our contracts are less than one year in duration, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

4. Acquisitions

2021 Acquisition of Hawker Equipment Solutions

On December 20, 2021, we acquired certain assets of Hawker Equipment Solutions, LLC (“Hawker”) for total cash consideration of $5.1 million, of which, $3.4 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 with the balance expected to be paid over the next five years. Hawker is a manufacturer of hydraulic pickup and laydown units. This acquisition is included in the Drilling product line within the Drilling and Downhole segment. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the pro forma results of operations for this acquisition, have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Long-term debt	$	233,742	$	232,370

2025 Notes

In August 2020, we exchanged $315.5 million principal amount of our previous 6.25% unsecured notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) for new 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2021 Notes with the new 2025 Notes recorded at fair value on the transaction date. We estimated the fair value of the 2025 Notes to be $282.6 million at the issuance date, resulting in a $32.9 million discount (“Debt Discount”) at issuance. As a result, we recognized a $28.7 million gain on extinguishment of debt that reflects the difference in the $314.8 million net carrying value of the 2021 Notes exchanged, including debt issuance costs and unamortized debt premium, less the $282.6 million estimated fair value of 2025 Notes and a $3.5 million early participation fee paid to bondholders that participated in the exchange. The Debt Discount is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes using the effective interest method.

The 2025 Notes pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $116.0 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes is mandatorily convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 37.0370 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes converted, equivalent to a conversion price of $27.00 per share, subject, however, to the condition that the average of the daily trading prices for the common stock over the preceding 20-trading day period is at least $30.00 per share. Holders of the 2025 Notes also have optional conversion rights in the event that the Company elects to redeem the 2025 Notes in cash and at the final maturity of the new notes. Any interest that the Company elects to pay in additional notes is also subject to the mandatory and optional conversion rights.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $16.5 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $15.6 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $14.7 million, resulting in a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

Credit Facility

In September 2021, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") to, among other things, extend the maturity date to September 2026, reduce the aggregate amount of the commitment under the Credit Facility, and change the interest rate applicable to outstanding loans. Following such amendment, our Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $179.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $45.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $20.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $3.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”).

Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Such eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory serve as priority collateral for the Credit

Facility, which is also secured on a second lien basis by substantially all of the Company's other assets. The amount of eligible inventory included in the borrowing base is restricted to the lesser of $127.0 million (subject to a quarterly reduction of $0.5 million) and 80.0% of the total borrowing base. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of March 31, 2022, our total borrowing base was $158.8 million, of which no amounts were drawn and $17.6 million was used for security of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $141.2 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its prime rate, subject to a floor of 0.00%.

Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at Forum Canada’s option, either (a) the CDOR rate, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CDOR rate plus 1.00% and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.

The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.

If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $22.4 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such thresholds for at least 60 consecutive days. Furthermore, the Credit Facility includes an obligation to prepay outstanding loans with cash on hand in excess of certain thresholds and includes a cross-default to the 2025 Notes.

Deferred Loan Costs

We have incurred loan costs that have been deferred and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2025 Notes and the Credit Facility. In connection with the September 2021 Credit Facility amendment, we deferred approximately $1.6 million of loan costs that will be amortized over the facility's remaining life.

Other Debt

Other debt consists primarily of various finance leases of equipment.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. We had $17.6 million and $18.7 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we recorded tax expense of $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning and recent operating results. As of March 31, 2022, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and

Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.

The fair value of our 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At March 31, 2022, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $250.5 million and $233.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $225.0 million and $232.0 million, respectively.

There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Overview

We are a global company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. FET provides value added solutions aimed at improving the safety, efficiency and environmental impact of our customers' operations. We are an environmentally and socially responsible company headquartered in Houston, Texas with manufacturing, distribution and service facilities strategically located throughout the world. Our products include highly engineered capital equipment as well as consumable products. These consumable products are used in drilling, well construction and completions activities, within the supporting infrastructure, and at processing centers and refineries. Our engineered capital products are directed at drilling rig equipment for new rigs, upgrades and refurbishment projects, subsea construction and development projects, pressure pumping equipment, the placement of production equipment on new producing wells, downstream capital projects and capital equipment for renewable energy projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 76% of our revenue was derived from consumable products and activity-based equipment, while the balance was primarily derived from capital products with a small amount from rental and other services.

We design, manufacture and supply high quality reliable products that create value for our diverse customer base, which includes, among others, oil and natural gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service companies, subsea construction and service companies, and pipeline and refinery operators. In addition, we offer some of our products to renewable energy and new energy companies.

We expect that the world's long-term energy demand will continue to rise. We also expect hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world's long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources continue to develop. As such, we remain focused on serving our customers in both oil and natural gas as well as renewable energy applications. We are also continuing to develop products to help oil and natural gas operators lower their current emissions while also deploying our existing product technologies in renewable energy applications and seeking to develop innovative equipment.

A summary of the products and services offered by each segment is as follows:

•Drilling & Downhole. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related services to the drilling, well construction, artificial lift and subsea energy construction markets, including applications in oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense, and communications. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) capital equipment and a broad line of expendable products consumed in the drilling process; (ii) well construction casing and cementing equipment and protection products for artificial lift equipment and cables; and (iii) subsea remotely operated vehicles and trenchers, submarine rescue vehicles, specialty components and tooling, and complementary subsea technical services.

•Completions. This segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and provides related services to the coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets. The products and related services consist primarily of: (i) capital and consumable products sold to the pressure pumping, hydraulic fracturing and flowback services markets, including hydraulic fracturing pumps, cooling systems, high-pressure flexible

Market Conditions

The level of demand for our products is directly related to the activity levels and the capital and operating budgets of our customers, which in turn are heavily influenced by energy prices and expectations as to future price trends. In addition, the availability of existing capital equipment adequate to serve exploration and production requirements, or lack thereof, drives demand for our capital equipment products.

In 2021, distribution of vaccines and reopening of certain economies led to an increase in demand for oil and natural gas following the unprecedented decline in demand that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the supply of oil and natural gas was impacted by ongoing capacity constraints by OPEC+ and North American exploration and production companies. As a result of these supply and demand factors, commodity prices increased substantially in 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the supply of oil and natural gas was further impacted by political and social responses to the Russia and Ukraine war resulting in further increases in energy prices, especially in Europe. In addition, ongoing COVID-19 related shutdowns in China and worldwide labor constraints continue to cause disruptions in global supply chains, which have led to inflationary pressures for certain goods and services.

Our revenues are highly correlated to the U.S. drilling rig count, which has increased to 670 rigs as of the end of the first quarter 2022 from a low of 244 rigs in August 2020. The level of active hydraulic fracturing fleets has also increased substantially in order to meet increasing oil demand. Despite these improvements, drilling and completions activity remains below pre-pandemic levels. In addition, publicly owned exploration and production companies in North America remain under pressure by investors to generate positive cash flows and constrain capital expenditures. In contrast, privately owned exploration and production companies in North America have increased their drilling and completions activity in response to the higher oil and natural gas price environment.

Activity levels have also increased in international markets, as well as in global offshore and subsea activity. As a result, demand for our drilling and subsea equipment offerings has increased due to an improved outlook for our international drilling and subsea customers.

The table below shows average crude oil and natural gas prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil (“WTI”), United Kingdom Brent crude oil (“Brent”), and Henry Hub natural gas:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,

Average North American Natural Gas, $/Mcf
Henry Hub	$	4.67	$	4.75	$	3.50

The price of oil has varied dramatically over the last several years. The spot prices for WTI and Brent fell from $61.14 and $67.77 per barrel, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 to lows below $15.00 per barrel in April 2020. Since that time, oil prices have rebounded to an average of $95.18 and $100.87 for WTI and Brent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, natural gas prices have increased more than 30% comparing the first quarter 2022 to the first quarter 2021.

A substantial portion of our revenue is impacted by the level of rig activity and the number of wells completed. The average U.S. rig count for the first quarter 2022 was 13% and 61% higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2021, respectively. The U.S. rig count started 2020 at 805 working rigs and fell 70% to a low of 244 rigs in August 2020. Since that time, the number of active rigs has partially recovered, ending the first quarter 2022 at 670 rigs. Despite this improvement, the U.S. drilling rig count remains below pre-pandemic levels.

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $155.2 million, an increase of $40.7 million, or 35.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our Drilling & Downhole, Completions, and Production segments comprised 45.9%, 33.8%, and 20.3% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 42.5%, 33.0%, and 24.5% of our total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The overall increase in revenue is primarily related to higher sales volumes due to higher drilling and completions activity levels in the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:

Drilling & Downhole segment — Revenue was $71.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $22.6 million, or 46.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was led by a $10.7 million, or 57.9%, increase in revenue for our Drilling Technologies product line due to higher sales volumes of consumable products and capital equipment from the 34% year-over-year increase in global rig count. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line increased by $7.4 million, or 49.3%, due to higher sales of ROVs and related support systems into international markets. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line increased by $4.5 million, or 29.6%, primarily due to higher sales volumes of artificial lift products due to the increase in the number of well completions and workover activity in the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021.

Completions segment — Revenue was $52.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $14.7 million, or 38.8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This significant improvement includes a revenue increase of $11.5 million, or 61.3%, for our Stimulation & Intervention product line primarily due to higher capital equipment sales to pressure pumping customers to support increasing demand for hydraulic fracturing services. Revenue for our Coiled Tubing product line increased by $3.2 million, or 16.9%, driven by increasing U.S. hydraulic fracturing activity levels in the first quarter 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021.

Production segment — Revenue was $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $3.5 million, or 12.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase includes a $2.7 million, or 19.8%, increase in sales of our valve products, primarily due to higher sales volumes into the North America downstream market, and a $0.8 million, or 5.4%, increase in revenue for our Production Equipment product line from higher sales volumes of surface production equipment for new producing wells.

Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage

Segment operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $5.7 million, a $9.6 million improvement compared to a loss of $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, segment operating margin percentage was (3.7)% compared to (13.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:

Drilling & Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $6.0 million, or 8.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $4.5 million, or (9.3)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $10.5 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit from the 46.5% increase in segment revenues. In addition, segment operating income increased due to a $2.8 reduction in inventory write-downs.

Completions segment — Segment operating loss was $0.7 million, or (1.4)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to segment operating income of $0.1 million, or 0.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Results were flat year-over-year as higher gross profit from the 38.8% increase in revenues discussed above was offset by increases in raw material, freight, and employee related costs.

Production segment — Segment operating loss was $1.8 million, or (5.6)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loss of $3.8 million, or (13.7)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $2.1 million improvement in segment operating results was driven by the 12.4% increase in revenues discussed above as well as lower compensation, depreciation and other facility costs in connection with cost reductions implemented in 2021. These improvements were partially offset by higher freight and material costs as a result of inflationary pressures from global supply chains.

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a $2.2 million increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily related to a $2.7 million charge recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to a modification of long-term incentive awards associated with the recent executive leadership transition. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.

Other items not included in segment operating loss

Loss (gain) on the disposal of assets and other is not included in segment operating loss, but is included in total operating loss.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange losses (gains) and other, and loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt. We incurred $7.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to lower debt balances outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months outstanding March 31, 2021.

The foreign exchange losses (gains) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $16.5 million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $15.6 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $14.7 million, resulting in a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

Taxes

We recorded tax expense of $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit Facility and the 2025 Notes. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, and debt repayments. We continually monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $257.0 million principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving Credit Facility. The 2025 Notes mature in August 2025 and the Credit Facility matures in September 2026. See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the terms for our 2025 Notes and Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.6 million and $141.2 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we expect total 2022 capital expenditures to be less than $10.0 million, consisting of, among other items, replacing end of life machinery and equipment.

We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce the principal amount of our 2025 Notes outstanding.

In November 2021, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $10.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. To date, we have repurchased approximately 56,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.1 million. Remaining authorization under this program is $8.9 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisition of Hawker for total cash consideration of $5.1 million, of which, $3.4 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 with the balance expected to be paid over the next five years. For additional information, see Note 4 Acquisitions. We may pursue other acquisitions in the future, which may be funded with cash and/or equity. Our ability to make significant acquisitions for cash may require us to pursue additional equity or debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(24.9)	$	(1.3)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(0.7)		1.1
Net cash used in financing activities	(0.6)		(27.5)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	(0.1)		(0.1)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(26.3)	$	(27.8)

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $24.9 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. This decline in operating cash flows is primarily attributable to net increases in working capital, primarily inventory and accounts receivable, which used cash of $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to providing cash of $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decline was partially offset by an improvement in net income adjusted for non-cash items which provided $4.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to using $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 including $0.9 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 including $1.5 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.4 million of capital expenditures for property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million and $27.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities primarily resulted from $13.7 million of cash used to repurchase 2025 Notes and $13.1 million of repayments on the revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The Company’s 2025 Notes are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries which are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several.

The guarantees of the 2025 Notes are (i) pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such guarantor, including all obligations under our Credit Facility; (ii) secured by certain collateral of such guarantor, subject to permitted liens under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes; (iii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of that guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the 2025 Notes (after giving effect to the liens securing our Credit Facility and any other senior liens on the collateral); and (v) senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that guarantor.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2025 Notes, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of such notes will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or to any guarantors.

The 2025 Notes guarantees shall each be released upon (i) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the equity interests of such guarantor after which the applicable guarantor is no longer a subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture governing such notes; (iii) legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing such notes; or (iv) dissolution of such guarantor, provided no default or event of default has occurred that is continuing.

The obligations of each guarantor of the 2025 Notes under its guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Credit Facility) and any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the applicable indenture, result in the obligations of such guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable transaction under applicable law. Nonetheless, in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or financial difficulty of a guarantor, such guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee may be subject to review and avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference, fraudulent transfer and insolvency laws.

We are presenting the following summarized financial information for the Company and the subsidiary guarantors (collectively referred to as the "Obligated Group") pursuant to Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. For purposes of the following summarized financial information, transactions between the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, presented on a combined basis, have been eliminated and information for the non-guarantor subsidiaries have been excluded.
