INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) and other documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain, and future oral or written statements or press releases by us may contain, forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “will,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-Q or other materials regarding our financial position, financial performance, liquidity, strategic alternatives, market outlook, future capital needs, capital allocation plans, business strategies and other plans and objectives of our management for future operations and activities are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management based on their experience and prevailing circumstances on the date such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, are inherently speculative and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•the difficulty to predict our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources;

•restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility (as defined within) could limit our growth and our ability to finance our operations, fund our capital needs, respond to changing conditions and engage in other business activities that may be in our best interests;

•the conditions in the oil and gas industry;

•U.S. and global market and economic conditions, including impacts relating to inflation, interest rates and supply chain disruptions;

•the effects of public health threats, pandemics and epidemics, and the adverse impact thereof on our growth, operating costs, supply chain, labor availability, logistical capabilities, customer demand and industry demand generally, margins, utilization, cash position, taxes, the price of our securities, and our ability to access capital markets;

•the ability of the members of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC+”) to agree on and to maintain crude oil price and production controls;

•operating hazards or other risks, including the significant possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, or property damage or other claims or events for which we may have limited or no insurance coverage or indemnification rights;

•the possibility of not being fully indemnified against losses incurred due to catastrophic events;

•cost and availability of insurance

•claims, litigation or other proceedings that require cash payments or could impair financial condition;

•credit risk associated with our customer base;

•the effect of regulatory programs and environmental matters on our operations or prospects;

•the impact that unfavorable or unusual weather conditions could have on our operations;

•the potential inability to retain key employees and skilled workers;

•political, legal, economic and other uncertainties (such as the war in Ukraine and conflict in Israel and broader geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and eastern Europe) associated with our international operations could materially restrict our operations or expose us to additional risks;

•potential changes in tax laws, adverse positions taken by tax authorities or tax audits impacting our operating results;

•changes in competitive and technological factors affecting our operations;

•risks associated with the uncertainty of macroeconomic conditions worldwide (such as capital and credit markets conditions, inflation and interest rates);

•risks to our operations and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates, from potential cyber-attacks;

•counterparty risks associated with reliance on key suppliers;

•challenges with estimating our potential liabilities related to our oil and natural gas property;

•risks associated with potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms;

•the likelihood that the interests of our significant stockholders may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders;

•the risks associated with owning our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), for which there is no public market; and

•the likelihood that our stockholders agreement may prevent certain transactions that could otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

These risks and other uncertainties related to our business are described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). We undertake no obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

(5) Note Receivable

Our note receivable consists of a commitment from the seller of our oil and gas property for costs associated with abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, we will invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities. The gross amount of the seller's obligation to us is $108.4 million and is recorded at its present value, which totaled $70.2 million as of March 31, 2024.

9

The discount on the note receivable is currently based on an effective interest rate of 7.2% and is amortized to interest income over the expected timing of the completion of the decommissioning activities, which are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2030. Interest is paid in kind and is compounded into the carrying amount of the note.

Non-cash interest income related to the note receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively and is included in other reconciling items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(7) Debt

In December 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for up to a $140.0 million asset based secured revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), which includes a sub-facility for financial letters of credit in an amount up to $40.0 million. The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar.

As of March 31, 2024, our borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement, was approximately $120.9 million, and we had $36.7 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the borrowing availability to $84.2 million. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all required covenants.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

The following table provides a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets and liabilities
Other assets, net	$	15,592	$	17,079
Accrued expenses		1,680		1,797
Other liabilities		14,397		15,589

Our non-qualified deferred compensation plans 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 a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value due to the short maturities.

We have a Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), which provides the issuance of up to 1,999,869 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) for the grant of share-based and cash-based awards.

As of December 31, 2023, we had 121,831 unvested awards granted under the MIP. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 53,422 awards vested. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The unamortized grant date fair value of unvested awards as of March 31, 2024 was $2.9 million.

(12) Equity and Earnings per Share

Dividend

In the first quarter of 2024, we paid a special cash dividend of $12.38 per share on our outstanding Class A Common Stock totaling $250.4 million, which includes dividend equivalent payments to holders of unvested RSUs of $0.7 million.

Share Repurchases

11

In the first quarter of 2024, we purchased 14,673 shares of our Class A Common Stock totaling approximately $1.0 million from a former Board member. Upon repurchase, the repurchased shares were canceled.

Earnings per Share

The following table presents the reconciliation between the weighted average number of shares for basic and diluted earnings per share:

Potentially dilutive stock awards and units		18		24
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted		20,180		20,131

(13) Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 28.1% and 44.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for both periods was impacted by non-deductible items and foreign tax rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by current year foreign tax credits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by the identification of an error in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 pertaining to certain net operating loss carryforwards that should have been eliminated as part of a worthless stock deduction taken in the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, we recognized an additional income tax expense of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a corresponding decrease to deferred tax assets to correct this immaterial misstatement. Management has determined that this misstatement was not material to any of its previously issued financial statements.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reached agreement on Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) to implement a minimum 15.0% tax rate on certain multinational companies. Participating countries are in various stages of proposing and enacting tax laws to implement the Pillar Two framework. We determined these rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and will continue to evaluate the impact of these proposals and legislative changes as new guidance emerges.

We had approximately $77.6 million in gross US foreign tax credit deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $50.0 million against them as of December 31, 2023. We continue to evaluate the realizability of our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and may have additional valuation allowance releases in future periods if we achieve positive cumulative income results of appropriate character and timing that provide sufficient positive evidence to do so.

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2023, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations. It is our policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

(14) Contingencies

Due to the nature of our business, we are involved, from time to time, in various routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims or actions, including those commercial in nature, regarding our business activities in the ordinary course of business. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. Management is of the opinion that none of the claims and actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As previously reported in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we are currently involved in legal proceedings with the Washington State Department of Revenue in relation to a dispute arising in April 2019 pertaining to a use tax assessment from 2016 as a result of the construction of a vessel by one of our subsidiaries. The matter was appealed to the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals, which affirmed the assessment on May 22, 2023. On June 20, 2023, we appealed this decision to Whatcom County Superior Court where it is currently pending review. In order to appeal the assessment to Whatcom County Superior Court, we paid the full $27.1 million assessment on May 31, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the following discussion and analysis and information contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on our current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those identified below and any discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and under the heading “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

General

We are a global oilfield products and services company with a portfolio of premier rental and well services brands providing customers with robust inventory, responsive delivery, engineered solutions, and expert consultative service — all aligned with enterprise-wide Shared Core Values for safe, sustainable operations and corporate citizenship; and committed to free cash flow generation and value creation.

Our portfolio of companies operates in two segments, Rentals and Well Services, to provide highly specialized solutions to the upstream oil and gas industry.

We drive true value to our business units by providing enterprise-wide support, financial discipline, capital strength, and strategic focus. Our experienced, knowledgeable leadership within those businesses has excellent latitude to execute their business strategy, determine pricing, allocate inventory, and develop new products and technology. All with a focus on safety, operational excellence, competitive positioning, and financial performance that entrenches our relationships with our customers and elevates our customers’ satisfaction.

Industry Trends

The oil and gas industry is both cyclical and seasonal. The level of spending in the energy industry is heavily influenced by the current and expected future prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in customer spending results in an increased or decreased demand for our services and products.

Our financial performance is significantly affected by rig count, which is an indicator of the level of spending by oil and gas companies. The following table summarizes rig counts in the U.S. land, U.S. offshore and International markets as well as prices of oil and natural gas.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

Current Quarter revenues from our Rentals segment of $108.1 million decreased $9.7 million from the Prior Quarter. Cost of revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 6.9%, in the Current Quarter as compared to the Prior Quarter. Changes in revenues and cost of revenues are attributable to decreased revenue across all rental product service lines, which include our premium drill pipe, accommodations and bottom hole assemblies. Lower rental revenues were mainly attributable to a decline in in our U.S. offshore market operations. Additionally, decreased commodity prices contributed to a slightly decreased gross margin of 65.1% for the Current Quarter as compared to 65.6% in the Prior Quarter.

Revenues from our Well Services segment in the Current Quarter decreased $26.1 million, or 20.6%, from the Prior Quarter. Cost of revenues decreased $16.4 million, or 19.2%, in the Current Quarter as compared to the Prior Quarter. While well service revenue decreased across all product lines, the decrease in revenue and cost of revenue was primarily driven by declines in our completion services business unit in the U.S. offshore market. As a result of this and in combination with lower commodity prices, gross margin for the Current Quarter also decreased to 31.5% as compared to 32.7% for the Prior Quarter.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the Current Quarter increased $1.6 million, or 4.7%, as compared to the Prior Quarter. The increase is primarily related to an increase in employee related costs, which were impacted by annual compensation increases in the Current Quarter.

Restructuring and transaction expenses

Restructuring and transaction expenses relate to charges recorded as part of our strategic efforts in the Prior Quarter to reconfigure our organization both operationally and financially. Restructuring and transaction expense decreased $1.3 million as compared to the Prior Quarter.

15

Loss on Blue Chip Swap Securities

During the Prior Quarter, we utilized an indirect foreign mechanism known as a Blue Chip Swap (“BCS”) to remit approximately $4.3 million U.S. dollars from Argentina through the purchase and sale of BCS securities. These transactions resulted in a net loss of $7.7 million during the Prior Quarter.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net primarily relate to re-measurement losses associated with our foreign currencies, which totaled $1.7 million and $4.6 million for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter, respectively. Losses on foreign currencies during both periods were primarily related to our operations in Argentina and Brazil.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the Current Quarter and Prior Quarter was 28.1% and 25.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for both periods was impacted by non-deductible items and foreign tax rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%. The Current Quarter was also impacted by current year foreign tax credits and the Prior Quarter was impacted by the BCS transactions.

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2023, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial performance and 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.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from our operations and asset sales, and availability under our Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $295.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 net cash provided by operating activities was $88.9 million, and we received $2.6 million in cash proceeds from the sale of assets. The primary uses of liquidity are to provide support for our operations and capital expenditures. Cash paid for capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $20.7 million. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid a special cash dividend totaling $250.4 million to holders of our outstanding Class A Common Stock.

The energy industry faces growing negative sentiment in the market which may affect our ability to access capital on terms favorable to us. While we have confidence in the level of support from our lenders, this negative sentiment in the energy industry has not only impacted our customers in the U.S., but also affected the availability and pricing for most credit lines extended to participants in the energy industry. From time to time, we may enter into transactions to dispose of businesses or capital assets that no longer fit our long-term strategy.

Debt Instruments

In December 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for up to a $140.0 million asset based secured revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), which includes a sub-facility for financial letters of credit in an amount up to $40.0 million. The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar.

As of March 31, 2024, our borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement, was approximately $120.9 million, and we had $36.7 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the borrowing availability to $84.2 million. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all required covenants.

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies reported in the Form 10-K that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. Please refer to the

16

section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in commodity prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

While we continue to be exposed to foreign currency exchange rates, we currently do not hold derivatives for trading purposes. When we believe it is prudent, we may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Commodity Price Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

17

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.

(5) Note Receivable

Our note receivable consists of a commitment from the seller of our oil and gas property for costs associated with abandonment. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, we will invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities. The gross amount of the seller's obligation to us is $108.4 million and is recorded at its present value, which totaled $70.2 million as of March 31, 2024.

The discount on the note receivable is currently based on an effective interest rate of 7.2% and is amortized to interest income over the expected timing of the completion of the decommissioning activities, which are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2030. Interest is paid in kind and is compounded into the carrying amount of the note.

Non-cash interest income related to the note receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively and is included in other reconciling items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(7) Debt

In December 2023, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for up to a $140.0 million asset based secured revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”), which includes a sub-facility for financial letters of credit in an amount up to $40.0 million. The issuance of letters of credit will reduce availability under the Credit Facility dollar-for-dollar.

As of March 31, 2024, our borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement, was approximately $120.9 million, and we had $36.7 million in letters of credit outstanding which reduced the borrowing availability to $84.2 million. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all required covenants.

Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was impacted by current year foreign tax credits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by the identification of an error in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 pertaining to certain net operating loss carryforwards that should have been eliminated as part of a worthless stock deduction taken in the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, we recognized an additional income tax expense of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a corresponding decrease to deferred tax assets to correct this immaterial misstatement. Management has determined that this misstatement was not material to any of its previously issued financial statements.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reached agreement on Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) to implement a minimum 15.0% tax rate on certain multinational companies. Participating countries are in various stages of proposing and enacting tax laws to implement the Pillar Two framework. We determined these rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and will continue to evaluate the impact of these proposals and legislative changes as new guidance emerges.

We had approximately $77.6 million in gross US foreign tax credit deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $50.0 million against them as of December 31, 2023. We continue to evaluate the realizability of our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and may have additional valuation allowance releases in future periods if we achieve positive cumulative income results of appropriate character and timing that provide sufficient positive evidence to do so.

We had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2023, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations. It is our policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Contingencies

(14) Contingencies

Due to the nature of our business, we are involved, from time to time, in various routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims or actions, including those commercial in nature, regarding our business activities in the ordinary course of business. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred. Management is of the opinion that none of the claims and actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As previously reported in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we are currently involved in legal proceedings with the Washington State Department of Revenue in relation to a dispute arising in April 2019 pertaining to a use tax assessment from 2016 as a result of the construction of a vessel by one of our subsidiaries. The matter was appealed to the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals, which affirmed the assessment on May 22, 2023. On June 20, 2023, we appealed this decision to Whatcom County Superior Court where it is currently pending review. In order to appeal the assessment to Whatcom County Superior Court, we paid the full $27.1 million assessment on May 31, 2023.
