SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

(1)Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. The results of operations for the first nine months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure.

Recent Developments

Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code

Superior Energy Services, Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) plan to file voluntary petitions (the Chapter 11 Cases) for relief (the Bankruptcy Filing) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court). The Debtors plan to commence a solicitation for acceptance of their prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Plan) by causing the Plan and the corresponding disclosure statement to be distributed to certain creditors of the Company shortly before the Bankruptcy Filing. During the Chapter 11 Cases the Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Upon filing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will request that the Bankruptcy Court grant certain relief to ensure a seamless transition of operations through the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, the Debtors expect to be able to conduct their business operations in the ordinary course of business. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all transactions outside the ordinary course of business will require the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Subject to specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay all judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to claims arising prior to the Bankruptcy Filing. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, if the Bankruptcy Filing is made, substantially all of the Debtors’ liabilities prior to the Bankruptcy Filing will be subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may, upon filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease. However, such rejection entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Counterparties to rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the Debtors estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors, including, where applicable, a quantification of the Debtors’ obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Debtors expect to have under the Bankruptcy Code.

Restructuring Support Agreement

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2020 and October 28, 2020, on September 29, 2020, the Company entered into that certain restructuring support agreement (as amended, modified, or supplemented to

8

date, the RSA) with certain holders (collectively, the Ad Hoc Noteholders Group) of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) and 7.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (together with the 2021 Notes, the Prepetition Notes), both issued by SESI, L.L.C.

Under the terms of the RSA, the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group agreed to a series of deleveraging transactions (the Restructuring) that will eliminate approximately $1.30 billion of funded debt obligations of the Debtors through the Plan. Specifically, the Restructuring contemplates, among other things, the equitization of all amounts outstanding under the Debtors’ Prepetition Notes. In exchange for equitizing all of their funded debt, holders of Prepetition Notes (the Prepetition Noteholders) will receive 98% of the new common stock to be issued by the reorganized Company (the New Common Stock). Holders of existing prepetition equity will receive 2% of the New Common Stock and five-year warrants to purchase 10.0% of the New Common Stock (the New Warrants), subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSA. General unsecured creditors will remain unimpaired and be paid in the ordinary course of business.

The RSA further provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

All holders of Prepetition Notes that are accredited investors or qualified institutional buyers, will have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to exercise the subscription rights to purchase New Common Stock. The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering will be used exclusively to fund the Cash Payout provided to Prepetition Noteholders electing the Cash Payout, in full and final satisfaction of such Holders’ Prepetition Notes Claims, which will be released and discharged pursuant to the Plan. Consummation of the Equity Rights Offering is contingent upon the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders under the RSA;

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes Claims that do not elect to participate in the Equity Rights Offering may receive a cash distribution of an amount yet to be determined (the Cash Payout). The proceeds from the Equity Rights Offering will be used to fund the cash distributions under the Cash Payout, provided that the total Cash Payout distribution amount will not exceed the total amount of the proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering. Any remaining portion of such holder’s Prepetition Notes Claims that is not satisfied through the Cash Payout will receive the treatment such holder would receive if such holder elected to participate in the Equity Rights Offering. The Cash Payout is contingent upon the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders under the RSA;

The board of directors of the reorganized Company (the New Board) will be authorized to implement a management incentive plan (the New Management Incentive Plan) that provides for the issuance of equity-based compensation to the management and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Up to 10% of the New Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, will be reserved for issuance in connection with the New Management Incentive Plan, with the actual amount to be reserved as determined by the New Board; and

In consideration for entry into the RSA, each Prepetition Noteholder that became a party to the RSA (a Consenting Noteholder) prior to a deadline set forth in the RSA was paid a premium payable in cash equal to the accrued interest outstanding as of the RSA effective date under the Notes held by each Consenting Noteholder. These expenses, as well as various advisory and professional fees related to the restructuring of the Company, are recorded under the caption “Restructuring expense” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Restructuring expenses totaled approximately $25.7 million and $27.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Also included in this line item is $15.6 million related to the RSA premium paid to certain Consenting Noteholders pursuant to the RSA.

 Under the Plan, certain classes of claims are expected to receive the following treatment:

Administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, other priority claims, and other secured claims will be paid in full (or receive such other treatment rendering such claims unimpaired);

Claims on account of the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the Prepetition Credit Agreement), other than those claims related to any outstanding letters of credit, will be paid in full in cash;

Contingent claims arising from outstanding letters of credit under the Prepetition Credit Agreement that remain undrawn upon consummation of the Chapter 11 Cases will either (i) be 105% cash collateralized, (ii) be deemed outstanding under an asset-based revolving exit credit facility, if any, or (iii) receive such other treatment as may be acceptable to the Debtors, the agent and lenders under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, and at least three unaffiliated Consenting Noteholders holding at least 66.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prepetition Notes;

General unsecured creditors will remain unimpaired and are to receive payment in cash, in full, in the ordinary course;

The Company’s existing equity will be cancelled and exchanged for (i) 2.0% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution on account of (x) New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the New Warrants and (y) New Common Stock issued under the New Management Incentive Plan) and (ii) the New Warrants;

9

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes who elect to participate in the Equity Rights Offering will receive their pro rata share of (i) 98% of New Common Stock (subject to dilution on account of (x) New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the New Warrants and (y) New Common Stock issued to management of the Reorganized Debtors under the New Management Incentive Plan) and (ii) rights to participate in the Equity Rights Offering; and

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes who elect cash instead of participating in the Equity Rights Offering will receive their pro rata share of cash in an aggregate amount equal to a percentage of the amount due under the Prepetition Notes to all such holders.

The RSA contains certain covenants binding the Company and the Consenting Noteholders, including limitations on the parties’ ability to pursue alternative transactions, commitments by the Consenting Noteholders to vote in favor of the Plan, and commitments of the Company and the Consenting Noteholders to cooperate in good faith to finalize the documents and agreements contemplated by the RSA and the associated term sheet.

The RSA also sets forth certain milestones to ensure that the Company emerges from bankruptcy as swiftly as practicable.

Although the Company intends to pursue the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSA, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the transactions outlined in the RSA, whether on the same or different terms.

Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2020, on September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter (the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter) with certain of the Consenting Noteholders (such Consenting Noteholders, the Backstop Commitment Parties). Pursuant to the terms of the RSA, in connection with confirmation of the Plan, the Company will use reasonable efforts to obtain ABL Financing Commitments (as defined in the RSA). In the event that all or a portion of the ABL Financing Commitments is not obtained, the Backstop Commitment Parties have committed to provide a delayed draw term loan facility (the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million, upon the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter.

As consideration for the commitment to provide the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility, the Company paid $11.7 million to the Backstop Commitment Parties. The transactions contemplated by the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter are conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions for transactions of this nature.

Going Concern

Recent developments discussed above have negatively impacted the Company's financial condition and the Company's current forecast gives doubt to the Company's available liquidity to repay its outstanding debt or meet its obligations. The Company’s bond and share price declines, as well as the Company’s credit rating, have over time increased the level of uncertainty in the Company’s business and impacted various key stakeholders, including the Company’s employees, customers, suppliers and key lenders. These conditions and events indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As noted above, in response to these developments, the Debtors expect to make the Bankruptcy Filing. Although the Company anticipates that the Chapter 11 Cases, if commenced, will help address its liquidity concerns, there are a number of risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, including the uncertainty remaining over the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Plan, which are not within the Company's control. Therefore, management has concluded that management’s current actions and plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to bankruptcy or liquidation accounting.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions

The Company’s operations continue to be disrupted due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The significant business disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted customers, vendors and suppliers in all geographical areas where the Company operates. The closure of non-essential business facilities and restrictions on travel put in place by governments around the world have significantly reduced economic activity. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. For example, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Additionally, recognized health risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have altered the policies of companies operating around the world, resulting in these companies instituting safety programs similar to what both domestic and international governmental agencies have

10

implemented, including stay at home orders, social distancing mandates, and other community oriented health objectives. The Company is complying with all such ordinances in its operations across the globe. Management of the Company believes it has proactively addressed many of the known operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the extent possible and will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no guarantee the measures will be fully effective.

Furthermore, the oil and gas industry has experienced unprecedented price disruptions during 2020, due in part to significantly decreased demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as activity declined in the face of depressed crude oil pricing. The U.S. oil and gas rig count fell by more than 60% in the second quarter of 2020 and by more than 30% in the third quarter of 2020. The number of oil and gas rigs outside of the U.S. and Canada fell by more than 10% in the third quarter of 2020 to an average of 731 rigs from 834 rigs in the second quarter of 2020. These market conditions have significantly impacted the Company’s business, with third quarter 2020 revenue decreasing to $166.9 million, as compared to $356.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, or 53%. As customers continue to revise their capital budgets in order to adjust spending levels in response to lower commodity prices, the Company has experienced significant pricing pressure for its products and services.

Low oil prices and industry volatility are likely to continue through the near and long-term. As the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, management expects it to continue to materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenue, financial condition, profitability, and cash flow for an indeterminate period of time.

New York Stock Exchange Delisting

On September 17, 2020, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that the Company is no longer in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the Company’s failure to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period of at least $15 million and accordingly, the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.

Trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE was suspended effective as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 17, 2020. On September 18, 2020, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX marketplace under the trading symbol “SPNX.” On October 2, 2020, the NYSE applied to the SEC to delist the Company’s common stock from trading on the NYSE and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The delisting became effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. In accordance with Rule 12d2-2 of the Exchange Act, the de-registration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, from the date of the Form 25 filing.

(2)Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered, rentals provided, and products sold. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services, provide rentals or sell products, and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that the Company charges for its services rendered, rentals provided, and products sold. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generally represented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30 days.

Services Revenue: primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service. Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis.

Rentals Revenue: primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for the use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months.

11

Product Sales Revenue: products are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts with the Company’s customers that include fixed or determinable prices but do not include right of return provisions or other significant post-delivery obligations. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by the customer.

The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less.

(3)Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company applies net realizable value and obsolescence to the gross value of the inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables primarily consist of products used in our services provided to customers. The components of the inventory balances are as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Finished goods	$	42,180	$	45,127
Raw materials		15,633		16,130

(4)Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of an oil and gas property acquired by the Company related to costs associated with the abandonment of the acquired property. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, the Company invoices the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities. The gross amount of this obligation totals $115.0 million and is recorded at present value using an effective interest rate of 6.58%. The related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of completion of the decommissioning activities. The Company recorded interest income related to notes receivable of $3.4 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company’s outstanding debt is as follows (in thousands):

		September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	Stated Interest Rate (%)	Long-term
Senior unsecured notes due September 2024	7.750	$	500,000	$	500,000

Unamortized debt issuance costs			(10,712)		(13,371)
Total debt, net		$	1,289,288	$	1,286,629

Credit Facility

The Company has an asset-based revolving credit facility which matures in October 2022. The borrowing base under the credit facility is calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves. Availability under the credit facility is the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021.

At September 30, 2020, the borrowing base under the asset-based revolving credit facility was $97.3 million and the Company had $48.5 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced its borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. The credit agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, merger, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements.

On August 5, 2020, the Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility to permit the Company to use up to the lesser of (i) $100 million and (ii) 105% of the face value of certain third-party letters of credit, surety, judgment, appeal or performance bonds, and similar obligations of the Company, to cash collateralize such obligations. The Company also deposited $25 million in an account under the lenders’ control to further secure its obligations under the revolving credit facility. The Company reduced the amount of letters of credit issued through the credit facility by using $52.4 million to cash collateralize these obligations. The amendment also prohibits the Company from requesting any loans under the credit facility and also restricts the Company’s flexibility under certain of the investment, indebtedness, junior debt repayment and restricted payment covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company has outstanding $800 million of senior unsecured notes due December 2021. The indenture governing the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. 

The Company also has outstanding $500 million of senior unsecured notes due September 2024. The indenture governing the 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year through the maturity date of September 15, 2024.  

If the Debtors file the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due under these debt instruments will become immediately due and payable. However, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code will stay the creditors from taking any action as a result of the default. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the unsecured notes or other accelerated obligations of the Debtors will be automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the unsecured notes, the credit facility and other accelerated obligations of the Debtors will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(6)Decommissioning Liabilities

The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with an oil and gas property and its related assets include liabilities related to the plugging of wells, removal of the related platform and equipment, and site restoration. The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows and/or relating timing needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The Company had decommissioning liabilities of $141.1 million and $136.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(7) Leases

Accounting Policy for Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are included in right-of-use (ROU) assets, accounts payable and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

The Company has changed its position regarding exercising certain operating lease renewal options given the current industry conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  At September 30, 2020, this change resulted in a decrease to the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities of $10.7 million.

Overview

The Company’s operating leases are primarily for real estate, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset. Subject to certain exceptions, if the Debtors make the Bankruptcy Filing, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Total operating lease expense was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Long-term fixed lease expense	$	4,032	$	8,942	$	18,043	$	25,507
Long-term variable lease expense		85		117		285		298
Short-term lease expense		1,652		3,346		8,175		13,216

(8) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value at September 30, 2020
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net:
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	-	$	14,252	$	-	$	14,252
Accounts payable:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	2,741	$	-	$	2,741
Other long-term liabilities:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	19,530	$	-	$	19,530
Total debt	$	350,100	$	-	$	-	$	350,100
	Fair Value at December 31, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net:
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	-	$	15,499	$	-	$	15,499
Accounts payable:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,372	$	-	$	1,372
Other long-term liabilities:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	23,466	$	-	$	23,466
Total debt	$	1,021,300	$	-	$	-	$	1,021,300

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay payments under the non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The fair value of the debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of such instruments as quoted in an over-the-counter market, which represents Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

16

The following table reflects the fair value measurements used in testing the impairment of long-lived assets (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Impairment		Fair Value
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	19,451	$	13,593

Fair value is measured as of impairment date using Level 3 inputs. See Note 10 for a discussion of the reduction in value of assets recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

While the Company believes that it will continue to operate in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases and upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s estimates of fair values are sensitive to inputs to the valuation approaches, including forecasts of revenues and earnings growth. There can be no assurances that changes to the Company’s inputs would not result in a material impairment of goodwill.

(9) Segment Information

Business Segments

The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells premium drill pipe, bottom hole assemblies, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities. It also provides on-site accommodations and machining services. The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides fluid handling services and workover and maintenance services. The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services. The Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including well containment systems, stimulation and sand control services and the production and sale of oil and gas.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on income or loss from operations excluding corporate expenses. The segment measure is calculated as follows: segment revenues less segment operating expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and reduction in value of assets. The Company uses this segment measure to evaluate its reportable segments because it is the measure that is most consistent with how the Company organizes and manages its business operations. Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, salaries and benefits for corporate employees and stock-based compensation expense.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

Geographic Segments

The Company attributes revenue to various countries based on the location of where services are performed or the destination of the drilling products or equipment sold or rented. Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and are attributed to various countries based on the physical location of the asset at the end of a period. The Company’s revenue attributed to the U.S. and to other countries and the value of its long-lived assets by those locations are as follows (in thousands):

(10) Reduction in Value of Assets

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $2.9 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in connection with the reduction in the value of its long-lived assets. The reduction in value of assets was primarily related to long-lived assets in the Technical Solutions and Production Services segments.

(11) Goodwill

During the third quarter of 2020 the Company entered into the RSA as further described in “Financial Statements - Note 1 – Basis of Presentation.” Entry into the RSA, along with changing industry conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event that required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment review as of September 30, 2020.

The Company performs the goodwill impairment test on an annual basis as of October 1 or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is consistent with the reporting segments. The Company assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist, which requires a significant amount of judgment. Such indicators may include a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, a decline in the expected future cash flows, overall weakness in the industry, and slower growth rates.

Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying value. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach and a market-based approach.

Income approach – The Company discounts the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in the Company’s operations and cash flows and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.

Market-based approach – The Company uses the guideline public company method, which focuses on comparing the Company’s risk profile and growth prospects to select reasonably similar publicly traded companies.

19

The Company weighs the income approach 80% and the market-based approach 20% due to differences between the Company’s reporting units and the peer companies’ size, profitability and diversity of operations. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values obtained for the reporting units, a reconciliation of fair value to market capitalization is performed for each unit on a standalone basis. A control premium, derived from market transaction data, is used in this reconciliation to ensure that fair values are reasonably stated in conjunction with the Company’s capitalization. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair value of the reporting units, including discounted cash flows. A significant amount of judgment is involved in performing these evaluations given that the results are based on estimated future events.

The result of the goodwill impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment exceeded its net book value and, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. The Company will continue to evaluate the Drilling Products and Services segment for potential goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2020 as market conditions continue to evolve.

(12) Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintained various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (the Eligible Participants) prior to the Chapter 11 Cases. Under the stock incentive plans, the Company could grant incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. The Company’s total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $6.1 million and $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

On September 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the implementation of a Key Employee Retention Program (the KERP), which is designed to retain key employees of the Company in their current roles over the near term while providing them with financial stability. The KERP payments are in lieu of any outstanding unvested awards under the Company’s long-term equity-based incentive plans (other than any performance share units granted in 2018 and 2019) and any 2020 annual bonuses that would otherwise be payable to the KERP participants. The KERP provided for one-time retention payments equal to approximately $7.3 million in the aggregate to the six executive officers of the Company, including its named executive officers. The KERP further provided for approximately $2.4 million of retention payments to other non-executive employees, which will be made in installments.

(13) Income Taxes

Certain of the restructuring transactions contemplated by the RSA may have a material impact on the Company’s tax attributes, the full extent of which is currently unknown. Cancellation of indebtedness income resulting from such restructuring transactions may significantly reduce the Company’s tax attributes, including but not limited to NOL carryforwards. Further, the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), upon confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court which will subject certain remaining tax attributes to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code. Additionally, if the Company proceeds with the Bankruptcy Filing, the Company will incur additional significant one-time costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), a tax relief and spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allows corporations with net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to elect to carryback those losses for a period of five years and relaxes the limitation for business interest deductions for 2019 and 2020. Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company received a refund of $30.5 million in July 2020.

The Company had $13.2 million of unrecorded tax benefits as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

(14) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units.

The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019; therefore, the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

(15) Contingencies

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

20

A subsidiary of the Company is involved in legal proceedings with two employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product developed by them. On April 2, 2018, the employees filed a lawsuit in the Harris County District Court alleging that the royalty payments they had received since 2010 should have been higher. In May 2019, the jury issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. On October 25, 2019, the court issued a final judgment against the Company. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes the district court committed several legal errors that should result in a reversal or remand of the case by the Court of Appeals. The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $7.5 million in excess of amounts accrued.

Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay certain proceedings and actions against the Debtors, in addition to actions seeking to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over the property of the Debtor’s bankruptcy estates.

(16) Supplemental Guarantor Information

SESI, L.L.C. (the Issuer), a 100% owned subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (the Parent), has $500 million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the SESI 2024 notes). The Parent, along with certain of its direct and indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the subsidiary guarantors, and together with the Parent, the guarantors), have entered into guarantees of the outstanding SESI 2024 notes (the guarantees). All guarantees provided by the guarantors are full and unconditional, joint and several, except that the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor may be released under certain customary circumstances, including (i) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the applicable subsidiary guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a person that is not the Issuer, Parent or a subsidiary of the Issuer; (ii) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of such subsidiary guarantor to a person that is not the Parent or Issuer or their respective subsidiaries; and (iii) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the SESI 2024 notes. The Parent will be released from its guarantee only in connection with any legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

With respect to each guarantor, each guarantee is a general unsecured senior obligation of such guarantor and

ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of such guarantor;

is senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such guarantor; and

is effectively subordinated to existing and future secured indebtedness of such guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness.

The guarantee obligations of the Parent and each subsidiary guarantor is limited as necessary to prevent the guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. If a guarantee were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the applicable guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, such guarantor’s liability on its guarantee could be reduced to zero.

The SESI 2024 notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of any of the subsidiary guarantors that do not guarantee the SESI 2024 notes (the non-guarantor subsidiaries). Such non-guarantor subsidiaries have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the SESI 2024 notes or to make funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments.

However, the Parent, Issuer and Subsidiary Guarantors are all expected to be Debtors pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 1 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” of this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of the Chapter 11 Cases.

(Pumpco), completed its existing hydraulic fracturing field operations and determined to discontinue, wind down and exit its hydraulic fracturing operations. The Company intends to maintain an adequate number of employees to efficiently wind down Pumpco’s business.

(18) New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses model (the CECL). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments at the time the asset is originated or acquired. This update will apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis with respect to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary

General

We provide a wide variety of services and products to the energy industry. We serve major, national and independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies around the world and offer products and services with respect to the various phases of a well’s economic life cycle. We report our operating results in four business segments: Drilling Products and Services; Onshore Completion and Workover Services; Production Services; and Technical Solutions.

Recent Developments

Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11

We and certain of our subsidiaries plan to file the Chapter 11 Cases with the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors plan to commence a solicitation for acceptance of the Plan by causing the Plan and the corresponding disclosure statement to be distributed to certain creditors of the Company shortly before the Bankruptcy Filing. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors are expected to be able to conduct normal business activities and pay all associated obligations for the period following the Bankruptcy Filing. The Debtors are also expected to be authorized to pay employee wages and benefits, and vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course of business for goods and services provided prior to the Bankruptcy Filing. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all transactions outside of the ordinary course of business will require the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process as described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the number of our shares of common stock and stockholders, assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the description of our operations, properties and capital plans included in this report may not accurately reflect our operations, properties and capital plans following the Chapter 11 Cases.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments significantly impact our consolidated financial statements. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the Bankruptcy Filing. In addition, we have incurred significant professional and advisory fees and other costs in connection with preparation for the Chapter 11 Cases and expect that we will continue to incur significant professional and advisory fees and costs throughout the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” of this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of the Chapter 11 Cases.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions

Our operations continue to be disrupted due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The significant business disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our customers, vendors and suppliers in all geographical areas where we operate. The closure of non-essential business facilities and restrictions on travel put in place by governments around the world have significantly reduced economic activity. Additionally, recognized health risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have altered the policies of companies operating around the world, resulting in these companies instituting safety programs similar to what both domestic and international governmental agencies have implemented, including stay at home orders, social distancing mandates, and other community oriented health objectives. We are complying with all such ordinances in our operations across the globe. Management believes it has proactively addressed many of the known operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the extent possible and will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no guarantee the measures will be fully effective.

25

Furthermore, the oil and gas industry has experienced unprecedented price disruptions during 2020, due in part to significantly decreased demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as activity significantly declined in the face of depressed crude oil pricing. The U.S. oil and gas rig count fell by more than 60% in the second quarter of 2020 and by more than 30% in the third quarter of 2020. The number of oil and gas rigs outside of the U.S. and Canada fell by more than 10% in the third quarter of 2020 to an average of 731 rigs from 834 rigs in the second quarter of 2020. These market conditions have significantly impacted our business, with third quarter 2020 revenue decreasing to $166.9 million, as compared to $356.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, or 53%. As customers continue to revise their capital budgets in order to adjust spending levels in response to lower commodity prices, we have experienced significant pricing pressure for our products and services.

Low oil prices and industry volatility are likely to continue through the near and long-term. In the second quarter of 2020, OPEC+ reached a supply curtailment agreement of up to 10 million barrels per day, which drove expectations for future hydrocarbon supply lower. However, on July 15, 2020, an alliance of certain OPEC nations led by Saudi Arabia agreed to increase oil production starting in August 2020, citing theoretically increased demand due to the relaxing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. As the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, management expects it to continue to materially and adversely affect our revenue, financial condition, profitability, and cash flow for an indeterminate period of time.

New York Stock Exchange Delisting

On September 17, 2020, we were notified by the NYSE that due to our failure to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period of at least $15 million, pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.

Trading of our common stock was suspended effective as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 17, 2020. Effective September 18, 2020, our common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX marketplace under the trading symbol “SPNX”. On October 2, 2020, the NYSE applied to the SEC to delist or common stock from trading on the NYSE and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The delisting became effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. In accordance with Rule 12d2-2 of the Exchange Act, the de-registration of our common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, from the date of the Form 25 filing.

Business Outlook

Demand for our products and services has declined, and will continue to decline, as long as our customers continue to revise their capital budgets downward and adjust their operations in response to lower oil prices and demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the RSA and our preparation for the Bankruptcy Filing, throughout 2020 we have taken actions to mitigate the near and long-term financial impacts on our operating results to ensure adequate liquidity and capital resources are available to maintain our operations until the oil and gas industry and global economic conditions improve. These actions include, but are not limited to:

We implemented continued actions to reduce our payroll costs through a combination of salary reductions, reductions in force and furloughs.

We exited unnecessary facilities and consolidated our operational footprint to align the size of our operations with current demand.

We reduced discretionary expenses and deferred any non-essential capital spending.

We are leveraging governmental relief efforts to defer payroll and other tax payments, which have benefited our future cash flows for 2020, including a tax refund of $30.5 million that was received in July 2020.

We have taken, and will continue to take, other actions to reduce costs and preserve cash in order to successfully navigate the current economic environment, including limiting expected capital expenditures to no more than $50.0 million for the full fiscal year 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact many jurisdictions and continues to disrupt normal economic activities. As a result, the demand for energy continues to be constrained with continued adverse consequences for our customers and for us. Further, there is an increasing number of bankruptcies in our industry. Our collection of receivables could be materially delayed and/or impaired for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting potential for continued losses subjects us to significant uncertainty and may cause significant variability in our allowance for credit losses in future periods. We expect the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to be felt throughout 2020 and into 2021. As the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic is inherently uncertain, we are unable to reasonably estimate the duration and ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the timing or level of any subsequent recovery. We cannot be certain of the degree of impact on our business, result of operations and/or financial position for future periods.

Industry Trends

The oil and gas industry is both cyclical and seasonal. The level of spending by oil and gas companies is highly influenced by current and expected demand and future prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in spending result in an increased or decreased demand for our services and products. Rig count is an indicator of the level of spending by oil and gas companies. Our financial performance is significantly affected by the rig count in the U.S. land and offshore market areas as well as oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.

Loss from discontinued operations includes reduction in value of assets of $109.6 million and $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as our level of discretionary capital expenditures and divestitures of non-core assets, are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions.

Also impacting our liquidity is the state of the global economy, which impacts oil and natural gas consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions, business closures and the institution of quarantining and other restrictions on movement in many communities. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in demand for, and the prices of, crude oil and natural gas. The COVID-19 pandemic, together with other dynamics in the marketplace, has recently significantly increased borrowing costs and, in certain cases, restricted the ability of borrowers to access the capital markets and other sources of financing.

As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic created significant challenges that materialized in the first quarter of 2020 and continue to affect us. These include, but are not limited to, slower collections from customers, pricing pressure from customers, and pressure from suppliers to shorten payment terms or lower credit limits. In order to maintain our liquidity at levels we believed would be sufficient to meet our commitments, we undertook a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and further reducing our recurring operating expenses. Ultimately, we concluded, even after taking these actions, we would not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our debt service obligations as they came due. As a result, on September 29, 2020 we entered into the RSA which contemplates that the Debtors will file the Chapter 11 Cases and discharge all amounts outstanding under the Debtors’ Prepetition Notes.

Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity during the period covered by this report have been cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and proceeds from divestiture of non-core assets. As of September 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $288.0 million and had approximately $265 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of October 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net cash provided by operating activities was $18.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received $44.1 million in cash proceeds from the divestiture of non-core assets.

At September 30, 2020, the borrowing base on our asset-based revolving credit facility was $97.3 million and we had $48.5 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced our borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. We reduced the amount of letters of credit issued through the credit facility by using $52.4 million to cash collateralize surety and other obligations in lieu of issuing letters of credit. We also deposited $25 million in an account under the lenders’ control to further secure our obligations under the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

We believe our cash flow from operations, letter of credit capacity under a potential debtor in possession asset-based credit facility and cash on hand will provide sufficient liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases.

We believe that our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on filing the Chapter 11 Cases and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan and our ability to successfully implement the Plan and obtain exit financing, among other factors. While operating as debtors-in-possession during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, we may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, the Plan if confirmed, could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report.

Uses of Liquidity

Our primary uses of liquidity during the period covered by this Quarterly Report were support for our operating activities, restructuring activities, debt service obligations and capital expenditures. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur significant costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, including fees for legal, financial and restructuring advisors to the Company, and certain of our creditors. Therefore, our ability to obtain confirmation of the Plan in a timely manner is critical to ensuring our liquidity is

31

sufficient during the Chapter 11 Cases. We incurred $27.0 million in restructuring expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These expenses include $15.6 million related to the RSA premium payable to certain Consenting Noteholders pursuant to the RSA and advisory and professional fees relating to the Chapter 11 Cases. Also related to the RSA is $11.7 million of fees in consideration for the commitment by the Backstop Commitment Parties to provide the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility upon our emergence from bankruptcy. We spent $37.4 million of cash on capital expenditures and made $71.2 million of net interest payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Capital expenditures of $17.2 million primarily related to the expansion and maintenance of our equipment inventory for our Drilling Products and Services segment, capital expenditures of $12.6 million primarily related to the expansion and maintenance of equipment inventory at our Production Services segment and the remaining $7.6 million of capital expenditures primarily related to the maintenance of our equipment for our Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Technical Solutions segments.

During the remainder of 2020, we expect to limit additional capital spending to no more than $12.5 million to meet our target of no more than $50.0 million in capital expenditures for 2020. We also plan to adjust our capital spending as necessary in order to adhere to the terms of the RSA and restrictions stemming from the Bankruptcy Court. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully accomplish the Bankruptcy Filing and implement the Plan.

Debt Instruments

We have outstanding $500 million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due September 2024. The indenture governing the 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year through the maturity date of September 15, 2024. The indenture contains customary events of default and requires that we satisfy various covenants.

We also have outstanding $800 million of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due December 2021. The indentures governing the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 require semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. The indentures contain customary events of default and require that we satisfy various covenants.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases will constitute an event of default under our credit facility and the indentures governing our unsecured notes. However, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the credit facility and unsecured notes will be automatically stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing and the creditors’ rights of enforcement will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. For more information on the Chapter 11 Cases, see Note 1 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” of this Quarterly Report.

Other Matters

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Hedging Activities

At September 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements and no hedging contracts.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 17 – New Accounting Pronouncements.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. A discussion of our market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

Because we operate in a number of countries throughout the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for our international operations, other than certain operations in the United Kingdom and Europe, is the U.S. dollar, but a portion of the revenues from our international operations is paid in foreign currencies. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations are partly mitigated because local expenses of such international operations are also generally denominated in the same currency. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in the U.S. dollar.

Assets and liabilities of certain subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Europe are translated at end of period exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are reported as the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes. At September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

32

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2020, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues, profitability and future rate of growth significantly depend upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that can economically be produced.

For additional discussion, see Part 1, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)

Changes in internal control.  There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. The outcome of these proceedings is not predictable. See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 14 – Contingencies.”

For more information on the Chapter 11 Cases, see Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding certain risks relating to our operations, any of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the Annual Report) and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 (the Quarterly Reports). There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports, except as set forth below.

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding any statement in this report or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes herein and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, the Chapter 11 Cases may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the consummation of the Plan will result in the cancellation and exchange of our equity securities, including our common stock.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, the Chapter 11 Cases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, our management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with restructuring matters rather than focusing exclusively on our business operations. Bankruptcy Court protection and operating as debtors-in-possession may also make it more difficult to retain management and the key personnel necessary for the success of our business. In addition, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, our customers might lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and may seek to establish alternative commercial relationships, renegotiate the terms of our agreements, terminate their relationships with us or require financial assurances from us. Customers may lose confidence in our ability to provide them the level of service they expect, which may result in a significant decline in our revenues, profitability and cash flow.

Other significant risks include or relate to the following:

the effects of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on our business and the interests of various constituents, including our stockholders;

Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases, including with respect to relief requested by both the Debtors and non-Debtor parties;

our ability to operate within the restrictions and the liquidity limitations of a potential debtor in possession asset-based credit facility (the DIP Credit Facility) and any related orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases;

our ability to maintain strategic control as debtors-in-possession during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases;

the length of time that we will operate with Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases;

increased advisory costs during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases;

the risks associated with restrictions on our ability to pursue some of our business strategies during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases;

our ability to satisfy the conditions precedent to consummate a Plan;

the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations;

the ultimate outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases in general;

the cancellation of our existing equity securities, including our outstanding shares of common stock, in the Chapter 11 Cases;

the potential material adverse effects of claims that are not discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases;

uncertainties regarding the reactions of our customers, prospective customers and service providers to the Chapter 11 Cases;

uncertainties regarding our ability to retain and motivate key personnel; and

uncertainties and continuing risks associated with our ability to achieve our stated goals and continue as a going concern.

34

Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases may have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, nor can we provide any assurance as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we file the Chapter 11 Cases, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities will be subject to uncertainty.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, delays in the Chapter 11 Cases may increase the risk of us being unable to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy and increase our costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

There can be no assurance that the Plan will become effective in accordance with its terms on the timeline we anticipate, or at all if we make the Bankruptcy Filing. Prolonged Chapter 11 proceedings could adversely affect our relationships with customers and employees, among other parties, which in turn could adversely affect our business, competitive position, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern. A weakening of our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could adversely affect our ability to implement the Plan (or any other Chapter 11 plan). If we are unable to consummate the Plan, we may be forced to liquidate our assets.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, we will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with our exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization.

At the outset of a Chapter 11 case, the Bankruptcy Code provides debtors-in-possession the exclusive right to file and solicit acceptance of a plan of reorganization for the first 120 days of the bankruptcy case, subject to extension at the discretion of the court. All other parties are prohibited from filing or soliciting a plan of reorganization during this period. If the Bankruptcy Court terminates that right or the exclusivity period expires, there could be a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve confirmation of a plan in order to achieve our stated goals in the event we make the Bankruptcy Filing. The possible decision of creditors and/or other third parties, whose interest may be inconsistent with our own, to file alternative plans of reorganization could further protract the Chapter 11 Cases, leading us to continue to incur significant professional fees and costs. Because of these risks and uncertainties associated with the termination or expiration of such exclusivity rights, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases may have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, nor can we predict the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases may have on our corporate or capital structure.

Adverse publicity in connection with the proposed Chapter 11 Cases or otherwise could negatively affect our businesses.

Adverse publicity or news coverage relating to us, including, but not limited to, publicity or news coverage in connection with the proposed Chapter 11 Cases, may negatively impact our efforts to establish and promote a positive image after emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.

The RSA is subject to significant conditions and milestones that may be difficult for us to satisfy.

There are certain material conditions we must satisfy under the RSA, including the timely satisfaction of milestones in the Chapter 11 Cases, which include the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan. Our ability to timely complete such milestones is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.

Even if we file the Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan may not become effective.

Even if we file the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it may not become effective because it is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent (some of which are beyond our control). There can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied and, therefore, that the Plan will become effective and that the Debtors will emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases as contemplated by the Plan. If the effective date of the Plan is delayed, the Debtors may not have sufficient cash available to operate their businesses. In that case, the Debtors may need new or additional post-petition financing, which may increase the cost of consummating the Plan. There can be no assurance of the terms on which such financing may be available or if such financing will be available.

Even if we file the Chapter 11 Cases and a Chapter 11 Plan is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals.

Even if a Chapter 11 Plan is consummated, we may continue to face a number of risks, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in our industry, changes in demand for our services and increasing expenses. Some of these risks become more acute when a case under the Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period without indication of how or when the transactions under a Chapter 11 Plan will close. As a result of these and other risks, we cannot guarantee that if we file the Chapter 11 Cases that a Chapter 11 Plan will achieve our stated goals.

Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict at this time.

We face uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources and have extremely limited, if any, access to additional financing. In addition to the cash requirements necessary to fund our ongoing operations, we have incurred significant professional fees

35

and other costs in connection with preparation for the Chapter 11 Cases and expect that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and other costs throughout the Chapter 11 Cases in the event they are filed. We cannot assure you that cash on hand, letters of credit under a potential DIP Credit Facility, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations and allow us to satisfy our obligations related to the Chapter 11 Cases, if filed.

The Debtors expect to incur senior secured obligations under the DIP Credit Facility after making the Bankruptcy Filing. Upon entry of the interim order in respect of the DIP Credit Facility, letters of credit under the Prepetition Credit Agreement are expected to be deemed to be outstanding letters of credit under the DIP Credit Facility and are expected to be permitted to be extended or renewed. Upon entry of the final order in respect of the DIP Credit Facility the Borrower is also expected to be able to request issuances of new letters of credit under the DIP Credit Facility, subject to its terms and conditions.

Upon our exit from bankruptcy, the DIP Credit Facility is expected to convert into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the Exit ABL Facility). Upon conversion into the Exit ABL Facility, letters of credit under the DIP Credit Facility are expected to be deemed to be letters of credit outstanding under the Exit ABL Facility.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, our liquidity, including our ability to meet our ongoing operational obligations, depends on, among other things: (1) our ability to comply with the terms and conditions of any order governing the use of cash collateral that may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, (2) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand, (3) our ability to generate cash flow from operations, (4) our ability to consummate the Plan or other alternative restructuring transaction, (5) the cost, duration and outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, (6) our ability to access credit support in the form of letters of credit under the DIP Credit Facility and (7) our ability to access capital under the Exit ABL Facility and/or the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility upon our emergence from bankruptcy.

Under certain limited circumstances, the Chapter 11 Cases may be converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may convert the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. We believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our creditors than those provided for in a plan of reorganization because of: (1) the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than in a controlled manner and as a going concern; (2) additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee; and (3) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

If we file the Chapter 11 Cases, our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future performance, which may be volatile.

During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as restructuring activities and expenses impact our consolidated financial statements. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, if we emerge from Chapter 11, the amounts reported in subsequent consolidated financial statements may materially change relative to our historical consolidated financial statements. We also will be required to adopt fresh start accounting, in which case our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on our historical consolidated balance sheets. Our financial results after the application of fresh start accounting may be different from historical trends.

We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases, if we make the Bankruptcy Filing, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from, among other things, substantially all debts arising prior to consummation of a plan of reorganization. With few exceptions, all claims against the Debtors that arise prior to the Petition Date or before consummation of the Plan (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the Plan and/or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and orders of the Bankruptcy Court, any claims not ultimately discharged pursuant to the Plan could be asserted against the reorganized entities and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.

The Chapter 11 Cases will limit the flexibility of our management team in running our business.

If we make the Bankruptcy Filing, we will operate our businesses as debtor-in-possession under supervision by the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, and we will be required to obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and in some cases certain lenders, prior to engaging in activities or transactions outside the ordinary course of business. Bankruptcy Court approval of non-ordinary course activities entails preparation and filing of appropriate motions with the Bankruptcy Court, negotiation with the various creditors’ committees and other parties-in-interest and one or more hearings. The creditors’ committees, if any, and other parties-in-interest may be heard at any Bankruptcy Court hearing and may raise objections with respect to these motions. This process may delay

36

major transactions and limit our ability to respond quickly to opportunities and events if we make the Bankruptcy Filing. Furthermore, in the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve a proposed activity or transaction during bankruptcy proceedings, we would be prevented from engaging in activities and transactions that we believe are beneficial to us.

The pursuit of the RSA and the Chapter 11 Cases has consumed and will continue to consume a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition as a result of the restructuring.

As the Chapter 11 Cases progress, our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the Chapter 11 Cases. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Chapter 11 Cases are protracted.

As a result of the restructuring, we have experienced employee attrition, and during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, our employees may face considerable distraction and uncertainty and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, our ability to engage, motivate and retain key employees or take other measures intended to motivate and incentivize key employees to remain with us through the pendency of the expected Chapter 11 Cases will be limited by certain restrictions on the implementation of incentive programs under the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the composition of our Board of Directors will change.

Our Board of Directors is expected to be replaced following the potential Chapter 11 Cases. Any new directors may have different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives from those individuals who currently serve on our Board of Directors and, thus, may have different views on the issues that will determine the future of our company. As a result, our future strategy and plans may differ materially from those of the past.

Trading in our common stock prior to and during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks.

All of our indebtedness is senior to the existing common stock in our capital structure. The RSA contemplates that our existing equity interests will be canceled in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, any trading in our common stock prior to and during the pendency of the proposed Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our common stock.

Our common stock may become subject to the associated risks of trading in an over-the-counter market.

Since September 18, 2020, our common stock has been trading on the OTCQX Marketplace maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “SPNX.” Securities traded in the over-the-counter market generally have significantly less liquidity than securities traded on a national securities exchange, due to factors such as a reduction in the number of investors that will consider investing in the securities and the number of market makers in the securities, reduction in securities analyst and news media coverage and lower market prices than might otherwise be obtained. In addition to those factors, the market for the outstanding shares of our common stock has been adversely affected by the provisions of the RSA that contemplate that our existing equity interests will be cancelled in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. We can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQX Marketplace, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of our common stock on that market, whether the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for our common stock will continue to be provided on that market in the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business, and the ultimate effect on our operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a material impact on businesses around the world and the economic environments in which they operate. A number of jurisdictions in which we operate have implemented severe restrictions on the movement of their respective populations. As a result, there has been a significant reduction in demand for, and prices of, crude oil, which has directly affected our business. If the reduced demand for and price of crude oil continues for a prolonged period, our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity may be further materially and adversely affected. Our operations also may be further adversely affected if significant portions of our workforce continue to be unable to work effectively due to illness, quarantines, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management expects industry activity levels and spending by customers to remain depressed at least throughout the remainder of 2020 and into 2021 as demand destruction from the COVID-19 pandemic continues. We believe that the well-known impacts described above and other potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

Disruption to our supply chain for materials essential to our business, including restrictions on importing and exporting products;
‎

37

Customers may attempt to cancel of delay projects or may attempt to invoke force majeure clauses in certain contracts resulting in a decreased on delayed demand for our products and services;

Customers may also seek to delay payments, may default on payment obligations and/or seek bankruptcy protection that could delay or prevent collections of certain accounts receivable;

A need to preserve liquidity and volatility in the financial markets;

Reduction of our global workforce to adjust to market conditions, including severance payments, retention issues, and an inability to hire employees when market conditions improve;

Liabilities resulting from operational delays due to decreased productivity resulting from stay-at-home orders affecting the work force or facility closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;

Liabilities resulting from an inability to perform services due to limited manpower availability or an inability to travel to perform the services;

Other contractual or other legal claims from our customers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; and

Infections and quarantining of our employees and the personnel of our customers, suppliers and other third parties.

At this time, it is not possible to quantify these risks, but the combination of these factors could have a further material impact on our financial results. The ultimate extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These future developments include, but are not limited to, the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Disruptions and/or uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic for a sustained period of time will result in, and have resulted to date in, delays or modifications to our strategic plans and initiatives and will hinder our ability to achieve our strategic goals. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, will likely have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section included in the Annual Report, as those risk factors are amended or supplemented by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports and documents filed with the SEC.

Potential changes to Bureau of Ocean Energy Management security and bonding requirements could impact our operating cash flows and results of operations.

Federal oil and natural gas leases contain standard terms and require compliance with detailed Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and BOEM regulations and orders issued pursuant to various federal laws, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. In 2016 BOEM undertook a review of its historical policies and procedures for determining a lessee’s ability to decommission platforms on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and whether lessees should furnish additional security, and in July 2016, BOEM issued a new Notice to Lessees requiring additional security for decommissioning activities. In January 2017, BOEM extended the implementation timeline for properties with co-lessees by an additional six months, and in June 2017 announced that the Notice to Lessees would be stayed while BOEM continued to review its implementation issues and continued industry engagement to gather additional information on the financial assurance program.

During the second half of 2016, BSEE increased its estimates of many offshore operator’s decommissioning costs, including the decommissioning costs at our sole federal offshore oil and gas property, in which our subsidiary owns a 51% non-operating interest. In October 2016, BOEM sent an initial proposal letter to the operator of the oil and gas property, proposing an increase in the supplemental bonding requirement for the property’s sole fixed platform that was eight to ten times higher than the revised supplemental bonding requirement requested for any other deep-water fixed platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Both the operator and our subsidiary submitted formal dispute notices, asserting that the estimates in the October 2016 proposal letter may be based on erroneous or arbitrary estimates of the potential decommissioning costs, and requesting in-person meetings to discuss the estimate. We asked that BSEE and BOEM reduce the estimate to an amount that more closely approximates actual decommissioning costs, consistent with estimates identified by BSEE and BOEM for similar deep-water platforms. BSEE and BOEM have not yet responded to our dispute notice.

On September 17, 2020, BOEM issued a proposed rule addressing OCS oil and gas decommissioning costs (BOEM-2018-0033). The proposed rule contains updated criteria for determining decommissioning costs. Under the proposed rule, BOEM would only require additional security when (1) a lessee or grant holder poses a substantial risk of becoming financially unable to meet its obligations; (2) there is no co-lessee, co-grant holder or predecessor that is liable for those obligations with sufficient financial capacity; and (3) the property is at or near the end of its productive life. BSEE would typically issue orders to predecessors in title in a reverse chronological order. The proposed rule would also require that a party appealing any final decommissioning decision or order provide a surety bond to ensure that funding for decommissioning is available if the order is affirmed and the liable party then defaults. The comment period for the proposed rule is expected to close on December 15, 2020. Based on the proposed framework, BOEM estimates its amount of financial assurance would decrease from $3.3 billion to $3.1 billion, although BOEM expects the rule would provide greater protection as the financial assurance would be focused on the riskiest properties.

We cannot predict when these laws and regulations may be adopted or change in the future, particularly in connection with a potential transition of presidential administrations. If BOEM ultimately issues a formal order and we are unable to obtain the additional required bonds or assurances, BOEM may suspend or cancel operations at the oil and gas property or otherwise impose monetary penalties. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating cash flows and liquidity.

38

Moreover, under existing BOEM and BSEE rules relating to assignment of offshore leases and other legal interests on the OCS, assignors of such interests may be held jointly and severally liable for decommissioning of OCS facilities existing at the time the assignment was approved by BOEM, in the event that the assignee or any subsequent assignee is unable or unwilling to conduct required decommissioning.

From 2003 until 2008 we were engaged through a wholly-owned subsidiary in the acquisition of mature shelf oil and gas properties, and we provided parent guarantees for this subsidiary’s acquisitions. While we have sold our equity interest in the subsidiary, our parent guarantees could expose us to material costs for decommissioning liabilities in the event subsequent lessors fail to meet their decommissioning obligations and liability is imposed on the predecessor in title for which we provided a parent guarantee. Such payments could be significant and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Our proposed Bankruptcy Filing described above would constitute an event of default that accelerate our obligations under our senior credit facility and our unsecured notes. Under the Bankruptcy Code, if we make the Bankruptcy Filing, the creditors under these debt agreements will be stayed from taking any action against us as a result of an event of default after such filing. See Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” for additional details about our anticipated Bankruptcy Filing and the Chapter 11 Cases.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

None.

[1] On September 17, 2020, our common stock was suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). On September 18, 2020, our common stock began trading on the OTCQX Marketplace maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “SPNX.” On October 2, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to delist our common stock from trading on the NYSE and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The delisting became effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. In accordance with Rule 12d2-2 of the Exchange Act, the de-registration of our common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, from the date of the Form 25 filing.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

(1)Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. The results of operations for the first nine months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure.

Recent Developments

Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code

Superior Energy Services, Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) plan to file voluntary petitions (the Chapter 11 Cases) for relief (the Bankruptcy Filing) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court). The Debtors plan to commence a solicitation for acceptance of their prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Plan) by causing the Plan and the corresponding disclosure statement to be distributed to certain creditors of the Company shortly before the Bankruptcy Filing. During the Chapter 11 Cases the Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Upon filing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will request that the Bankruptcy Court grant certain relief to ensure a seamless transition of operations through the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result, the Debtors expect to be able to conduct their business operations in the ordinary course of business. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all transactions outside the ordinary course of business will require the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Subject to specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay all judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to claims arising prior to the Bankruptcy Filing. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, if the Bankruptcy Filing is made, substantially all of the Debtors’ liabilities prior to the Bankruptcy Filing will be subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may, upon filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease. However, such rejection entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Counterparties to rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the Debtors estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors, including, where applicable, a quantification of the Debtors’ obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Debtors expect to have under the Bankruptcy Code.

Restructuring Support Agreement

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2020 and October 28, 2020, on September 29, 2020, the Company entered into that certain restructuring support agreement (as amended, modified, or supplemented to

date, the RSA) with certain holders (collectively, the Ad Hoc Noteholders Group) of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) and 7.750% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (together with the 2021 Notes, the Prepetition Notes), both issued by SESI, L.L.C.

Under the terms of the RSA, the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group agreed to a series of deleveraging transactions (the Restructuring) that will eliminate approximately $1.30 billion of funded debt obligations of the Debtors through the Plan. Specifically, the Restructuring contemplates, among other things, the equitization of all amounts outstanding under the Debtors’ Prepetition Notes. In exchange for equitizing all of their funded debt, holders of Prepetition Notes (the Prepetition Noteholders) will receive 98% of the new common stock to be issued by the reorganized Company (the New Common Stock). Holders of existing prepetition equity will receive 2% of the New Common Stock and five-year warrants to purchase 10.0% of the New Common Stock (the New Warrants), subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSA. General unsecured creditors will remain unimpaired and be paid in the ordinary course of business.

The RSA further provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

All holders of Prepetition Notes that are accredited investors or qualified institutional buyers, will have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to exercise the subscription rights to purchase New Common Stock. The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering will be used exclusively to fund the Cash Payout provided to Prepetition Noteholders electing the Cash Payout, in full and final satisfaction of such Holders’ Prepetition Notes Claims, which will be released and discharged pursuant to the Plan. Consummation of the Equity Rights Offering is contingent upon the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders under the RSA;

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes Claims that do not elect to participate in the Equity Rights Offering may receive a cash distribution of an amount yet to be determined (the Cash Payout). The proceeds from the Equity Rights Offering will be used to fund the cash distributions under the Cash Payout, provided that the total Cash Payout distribution amount will not exceed the total amount of the proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering. Any remaining portion of such holder’s Prepetition Notes Claims that is not satisfied through the Cash Payout will receive the treatment such holder would receive if such holder elected to participate in the Equity Rights Offering. The Cash Payout is contingent upon the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders under the RSA;

The board of directors of the reorganized Company (the New Board) will be authorized to implement a management incentive plan (the New Management Incentive Plan) that provides for the issuance of equity-based compensation to the management and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Up to 10% of the New Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, will be reserved for issuance in connection with the New Management Incentive Plan, with the actual amount to be reserved as determined by the New Board; and

In consideration for entry into the RSA, each Prepetition Noteholder that became a party to the RSA (a Consenting Noteholder) prior to a deadline set forth in the RSA was paid a premium payable in cash equal to the accrued interest outstanding as of the RSA effective date under the Notes held by each Consenting Noteholder. These expenses, as well as various advisory and professional fees related to the restructuring of the Company, are recorded under the caption “Restructuring expense” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Restructuring expenses totaled approximately $25.7 million and $27.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Also included in this line item is $15.6 million related to the RSA premium paid to certain Consenting Noteholders pursuant to the RSA.

 Under the Plan, certain classes of claims are expected to receive the following treatment:

Administrative expense claims, priority tax claims, other priority claims, and other secured claims will be paid in full (or receive such other treatment rendering such claims unimpaired);

Claims on account of the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the Prepetition Credit Agreement), other than those claims related to any outstanding letters of credit, will be paid in full in cash;

Contingent claims arising from outstanding letters of credit under the Prepetition Credit Agreement that remain undrawn upon consummation of the Chapter 11 Cases will either (i) be 105% cash collateralized, (ii) be deemed outstanding under an asset-based revolving exit credit facility, if any, or (iii) receive such other treatment as may be acceptable to the Debtors, the agent and lenders under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, and at least three unaffiliated Consenting Noteholders holding at least 66.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the Prepetition Notes;

General unsecured creditors will remain unimpaired and are to receive payment in cash, in full, in the ordinary course;

The Company’s existing equity will be cancelled and exchanged for (i) 2.0% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution on account of (x) New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the New Warrants and (y) New Common Stock issued under the New Management Incentive Plan) and (ii) the New Warrants;

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes who elect to participate in the Equity Rights Offering will receive their pro rata share of (i) 98% of New Common Stock (subject to dilution on account of (x) New Common Stock issued upon exercise of the New Warrants and (y) New Common Stock issued to management of the Reorganized Debtors under the New Management Incentive Plan) and (ii) rights to participate in the Equity Rights Offering; and

Eligible holders of the Prepetition Notes who elect cash instead of participating in the Equity Rights Offering will receive their pro rata share of cash in an aggregate amount equal to a percentage of the amount due under the Prepetition Notes to all such holders.

The RSA contains certain covenants binding the Company and the Consenting Noteholders, including limitations on the parties’ ability to pursue alternative transactions, commitments by the Consenting Noteholders to vote in favor of the Plan, and commitments of the Company and the Consenting Noteholders to cooperate in good faith to finalize the documents and agreements contemplated by the RSA and the associated term sheet.

The RSA also sets forth certain milestones to ensure that the Company emerges from bankruptcy as swiftly as practicable.

Although the Company intends to pursue the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the terms set forth in the RSA, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the transactions outlined in the RSA, whether on the same or different terms.

Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 30, 2020, on September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter (the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter) with certain of the Consenting Noteholders (such Consenting Noteholders, the Backstop Commitment Parties). Pursuant to the terms of the RSA, in connection with confirmation of the Plan, the Company will use reasonable efforts to obtain ABL Financing Commitments (as defined in the RSA). In the event that all or a portion of the ABL Financing Commitments is not obtained, the Backstop Commitment Parties have committed to provide a delayed draw term loan facility (the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million, upon the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter.

As consideration for the commitment to provide the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility, the Company paid $11.7 million to the Backstop Commitment Parties. The transactions contemplated by the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter are conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions for transactions of this nature.

Going Concern

Recent developments discussed above have negatively impacted the Company's financial condition and the Company's current forecast gives doubt to the Company's available liquidity to repay its outstanding debt or meet its obligations. The Company’s bond and share price declines, as well as the Company’s credit rating, have over time increased the level of uncertainty in the Company’s business and impacted various key stakeholders, including the Company’s employees, customers, suppliers and key lenders. These conditions and events indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As noted above, in response to these developments, the Debtors expect to make the Bankruptcy Filing. Although the Company anticipates that the Chapter 11 Cases, if commenced, will help address its liquidity concerns, there are a number of risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, including the uncertainty remaining over the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Plan, which are not within the Company's control. Therefore, management has concluded that management’s current actions and plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to bankruptcy or liquidation accounting.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions

The Company’s operations continue to be disrupted due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The significant business disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted customers, vendors and suppliers in all geographical areas where the Company operates. The closure of non-essential business facilities and restrictions on travel put in place by governments around the world have significantly reduced economic activity. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. For example, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Additionally, recognized health risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have altered the policies of companies operating around the world, resulting in these companies instituting safety programs similar to what both domestic and international governmental agencies have

implemented, including stay at home orders, social distancing mandates, and other community oriented health objectives. The Company is complying with all such ordinances in its operations across the globe. Management of the Company believes it has proactively addressed many of the known operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the extent possible and will strive to continue to do so, but there can be no guarantee the measures will be fully effective.

Furthermore, the oil and gas industry has experienced unprecedented price disruptions during 2020, due in part to significantly decreased demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as activity declined in the face of depressed crude oil pricing. The U.S. oil and gas rig count fell by more than 60% in the second quarter of 2020 and by more than 30% in the third quarter of 2020. The number of oil and gas rigs outside of the U.S. and Canada fell by more than 10% in the third quarter of 2020 to an average of 731 rigs from 834 rigs in the second quarter of 2020. These market conditions have significantly impacted the Company’s business, with third quarter 2020 revenue decreasing to $166.9 million, as compared to $356.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, or 53%. As customers continue to revise their capital budgets in order to adjust spending levels in response to lower commodity prices, the Company has experienced significant pricing pressure for its products and services.

Low oil prices and industry volatility are likely to continue through the near and long-term. As the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, management expects it to continue to materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenue, financial condition, profitability, and cash flow for an indeterminate period of time.

New York Stock Exchange Delisting

On September 17, 2020, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that the Company is no longer in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the Company’s failure to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period of at least $15 million and accordingly, the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.

Trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE was suspended effective as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 17, 2020. On September 18, 2020, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX marketplace under the trading symbol “SPNX.” On October 2, 2020, the NYSE applied to the SEC to delist the Company’s common stock from trading on the NYSE and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The delisting became effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. In accordance with Rule 12d2-2 of the Exchange Act, the de-registration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act will become effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, from the date of the Form 25 filing.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered, rentals provided, and products sold. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services, provide rentals or sell products, and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that the Company charges for its services rendered, rentals provided, and products sold. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generally represented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30 days.

Services Revenue: primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service. Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis.

Rentals Revenue: primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for the use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months.

Product Sales Revenue: products are generally sold based upon purchase orders or contracts with the Company’s customers that include fixed or determinable prices but do not include right of return provisions or other significant post-delivery obligations. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when title passes to the customer, the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery occurs as directed by the customer.

The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less.

Credit Facility

The Company has an asset-based revolving credit facility which matures in October 2022. The borrowing base under the credit facility is calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves. Availability under the credit facility is the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021.

At September 30, 2020, the borrowing base under the asset-based revolving credit facility was $97.3 million and the Company had $48.5 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced its borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. The credit agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, merger, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements.

On August 5, 2020, the Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility to permit the Company to use up to the lesser of (i) $100 million and (ii) 105% of the face value of certain third-party letters of credit, surety, judgment, appeal or performance bonds, and similar obligations of the Company, to cash collateralize such obligations. The Company also deposited $25 million in an account under the lenders’ control to further secure its obligations under the revolving credit facility. The Company reduced the amount of letters of credit issued through the credit facility by using $52.4 million to cash collateralize these obligations. The amendment also prohibits the Company from requesting any loans under the credit facility and also restricts the Company’s flexibility under certain of the investment, indebtedness, junior debt repayment and restricted payment covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company has outstanding $800 million of senior unsecured notes due December 2021. The indenture governing the 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2021 requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. 

The Company also has outstanding $500 million of senior unsecured notes due September 2024. The indenture governing the 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15 and September 15 of each year through the maturity date of September 15, 2024.  

If the Debtors file the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due under these debt instruments will become immediately due and payable. However, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code will stay the creditors from taking any action as a result of the default. Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the unsecured notes or other accelerated obligations of the Debtors will be automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the unsecured notes, the credit facility and other accelerated obligations of the Debtors will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Accounting Policy for Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are included in right-of-use (ROU) assets, accounts payable and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

The Company has changed its position regarding exercising certain operating lease renewal options given the current industry conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  At September 30, 2020, this change resulted in a decrease to the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities of $10.7 million.

Overview

The Company’s operating leases are primarily for real estate, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset. Subject to certain exceptions, if the Debtors make the Bankruptcy Filing, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Total operating lease expense was as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

(8) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value at September 30, 2020
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net:
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	-	$	14,252	$	-	$	14,252

Total debt	$	350,100	$	-	$	-	$	350,100
	Fair Value at December 31, 2019

Intangible and other long-term assets, net:
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	-	$	15,499	$	-	$	15,499
Accounts payable:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,372	$	-	$	1,372
Other long-term liabilities:
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	23,466	$	-	$	23,466
Total debt	$	1,021,300	$	-	$	-	$	1,021,300

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay payments under the non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The fair value of the debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of such instruments as quoted in an over-the-counter market, which represents Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table reflects the fair value measurements used in testing the impairment of long-lived assets (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Impairment		Fair Value
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	19,451	$	13,593

Fair value is measured as of impairment date using Level 3 inputs. See Note 10 for a discussion of the reduction in value of assets recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

While the Company believes that it will continue to operate in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases and upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s estimates of fair values are sensitive to inputs to the valuation approaches, including forecasts of revenues and earnings growth. There can be no assurances that changes to the Company’s inputs would not result in a material impairment of goodwill.

Segment Information

(9) Segment Information

Business Segments

The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells premium drill pipe, bottom hole assemblies, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities. It also provides on-site accommodations and machining services. The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides fluid handling services and workover and maintenance services. The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services. The Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including well containment systems, stimulation and sand control services and the production and sale of oil and gas.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on income or loss from operations excluding corporate expenses. The segment measure is calculated as follows: segment revenues less segment operating expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and reduction in value of assets. The Company uses this segment measure to evaluate its reportable segments because it is the measure that is most consistent with how the Company organizes and manages its business operations. Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, salaries and benefits for corporate employees and stock-based compensation expense.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s segments is as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill [Abstract]

Goodwill

(11) Goodwill

During the third quarter of 2020 the Company entered into the RSA as further described in “Financial Statements - Note 1 – Basis of Presentation.” Entry into the RSA, along with changing industry conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event that required the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment review as of September 30, 2020.

The Company performs the goodwill impairment test on an annual basis as of October 1 or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, which is consistent with the reporting segments. The Company assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist, which requires a significant amount of judgment. Such indicators may include a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, a decline in the expected future cash flows, overall weakness in the industry, and slower growth rates.

Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying value. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company uses a combination of an income approach and a market-based approach.

Income approach – The Company discounts the expected cash flows of each reporting unit. The discount rate used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in the Company’s operations and cash flows and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.

Market-based approach – The Company uses the guideline public company method, which focuses on comparing the Company’s risk profile and growth prospects to select reasonably similar publicly traded companies.

The Company weighs the income approach 80% and the market-based approach 20% due to differences between the Company’s reporting units and the peer companies’ size, profitability and diversity of operations. In order to validate the reasonableness of the estimated fair values obtained for the reporting units, a reconciliation of fair value to market capitalization is performed for each unit on a standalone basis. A control premium, derived from market transaction data, is used in this reconciliation to ensure that fair values are reasonably stated in conjunction with the Company’s capitalization. The Company uses all available information to estimate fair value of the reporting units, including discounted cash flows. A significant amount of judgment is involved in performing these evaluations given that the results are based on estimated future events.

The result of the goodwill impairment assessment indicated that the fair value of the Drilling Products and Services segment exceeded its net book value and, therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. The Company will continue to evaluate the Drilling Products and Services segment for potential goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2020 as market conditions continue to evolve.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

(12) Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintained various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (the Eligible Participants) prior to the Chapter 11 Cases. Under the stock incentive plans, the Company could grant incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. The Company’s total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $6.1 million and $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

On September 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the implementation of a Key Employee Retention Program (the KERP), which is designed to retain key employees of the Company in their current roles over the near term while providing them with financial stability. The KERP payments are in lieu of any outstanding unvested awards under the Company’s long-term equity-based incentive plans (other than any performance share units granted in 2018 and 2019) and any 2020 annual bonuses that would otherwise be payable to the KERP participants. The KERP provided for one-time retention payments equal to approximately $7.3 million in the aggregate to the six executive officers of the Company, including its named executive officers. The KERP further provided for approximately $2.4 million of retention payments to other non-executive employees, which will be made in installments.

Income Taxes

(13) Income Taxes

Certain of the restructuring transactions contemplated by the RSA may have a material impact on the Company’s tax attributes, the full extent of which is currently unknown. Cancellation of indebtedness income resulting from such restructuring transactions may significantly reduce the Company’s tax attributes, including but not limited to NOL carryforwards. Further, the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), upon confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court which will subject certain remaining tax attributes to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code. Additionally, if the Company proceeds with the Bankruptcy Filing, the Company will incur additional significant one-time costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), a tax relief and spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allows corporations with net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to elect to carryback those losses for a period of five years and relaxes the limitation for business interest deductions for 2019 and 2020. Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company received a refund of $30.5 million in July 2020.

The Company had $13.2 million of unrecorded tax benefits as of each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(14) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units.

The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019; therefore, the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

Contingencies

(15) Contingencies

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary of the Company is involved in legal proceedings with two employees regarding the payment of royalties for a patentable product developed by them. On April 2, 2018, the employees filed a lawsuit in the Harris County District Court alleging that the royalty payments they had received since 2010 should have been higher. In May 2019, the jury issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. On October 25, 2019, the court issued a final judgment against the Company. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and believes the district court committed several legal errors that should result in a reversal or remand of the case by the Court of Appeals. The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $7.5 million in excess of amounts accrued.

Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases will automatically stay certain proceedings and actions against the Debtors, in addition to actions seeking to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over the property of the Debtor’s bankruptcy estates.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

(16) Supplemental Guarantor Information

SESI, L.L.C. (the Issuer), a 100% owned subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (the Parent), has $500 million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the SESI 2024 notes). The Parent, along with certain of its direct and indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the subsidiary guarantors, and together with the Parent, the guarantors), have entered into guarantees of the outstanding SESI 2024 notes (the guarantees). All guarantees provided by the guarantors are full and unconditional, joint and several, except that the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor may be released under certain customary circumstances, including (i) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the applicable subsidiary guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a person that is not the Issuer, Parent or a subsidiary of the Issuer; (ii) in connection with a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of such subsidiary guarantor to a person that is not the Parent or Issuer or their respective subsidiaries; and (iii) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the SESI 2024 notes. The Parent will be released from its guarantee only in connection with any legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

With respect to each guarantor, each guarantee is a general unsecured senior obligation of such guarantor and

ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of such guarantor;

is senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such guarantor; and

is effectively subordinated to existing and future secured indebtedness of such guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness.

The guarantee obligations of the Parent and each subsidiary guarantor is limited as necessary to prevent the guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. If a guarantee were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the applicable guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, such guarantor’s liability on its guarantee could be reduced to zero.

The SESI 2024 notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of any of the subsidiary guarantors that do not guarantee the SESI 2024 notes (the non-guarantor subsidiaries). Such non-guarantor subsidiaries have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the SESI 2024 notes or to make funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments.

However, the Parent, Issuer and Subsidiary Guarantors are all expected to be Debtors pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 1 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” of this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The following summarized financial information presents the financial information of the Parent, Issuer and the subsidiary guarantors (collectively, the Obligor Group), on a combined basis, after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent, Issuer and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any subsidiary of the Parent that is not the Issuer or a subsidiary guarantor.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope by using the Current Expected Credit Losses model (the CECL). The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments at the time the asset is originated or acquired. This update will apply to receivables arising from revenue transactions. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis with respect to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
