Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards — In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements and enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. We adopted this new accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2024 and expanded our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the update. See Note 14 for details.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve income tax disclosure requirements. We plan to adopt this accounting pronouncement during fiscal year 2025, with the first disclosure enhancements to be reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact this pronouncement will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses, which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our disclosures.
Revenues
ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Drilling Services and Completion Services — revenue is recognized based on our customers’ ability to benefit from our services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. This typically happens when the service is performed. The services we provide represent a series of distinct services, generally provided daily, that are substantially the same, with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Because our customers benefit equally throughout the service period, generally measured in days, and our efforts in providing services are incurred relatively evenly over the period of performance, revenue is recognized as we provide services to the customer.
Drilling Services revenue primarily consists of daywork drilling contracts for which related revenues and expenses are recognized as services are performed. For certain contracts, we receive payments for the mobilization of rigs and other drilling equipment. We defer revenue and related direct operating expense related to mobilizations and recognize those revenues and expenses on a straight-line basis as drilling services are provided. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Drilling Services operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For certain contracts, we are also entitled to early termination payments if our customers choose to terminate a contract prior to the expiration of the contractual term. We recognize revenue associated with early termination payments when all contractual requirements related to early termination payments have been met.
Completion Services revenue consists of services and products related to our suite of completion businesses, including hydraulic fracturing, completion support services, wireline and pumpdown services, and cementing. These services are provided pursuant to contractual arrangements, including pricing agreements. Revenue from these services is earned as services are rendered, which is generally on a per stage or fixed monthly rate, except for our cementing services. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, the amount to which we have the right to invoice has been determined and collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable. Contract fulfillment costs, such as mobilization costs and shipping and handling costs, are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Completion Services operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). To the extent fulfillment costs are considered separate performance obligations that are billable to the customer, the amounts billed are recorded as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Once a stage has been completed or products and services have been provided, a field ticket is created that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals, proppant, and compressed natural gas consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment and inventory to the location, any additional equipment used on the job, and other miscellaneous items. The field ticket represents the amounts to which we have the right to invoice and to recognize as revenue.
A portion of our contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved. Examples of variable consideration include the number of hours that will be incurred and the amount of consumables (such as chemicals and proppants) that will be used to complete a job.
Revenue is presented net of any sales tax charged to the customer that we are required to remit to local or state governmental taxing authorities. Reimbursements for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services, shipping and other services that are provided at the request of our customers are recorded as revenue when incurred. The related costs are recorded as operating expenses when incurred.
ASC Topic 842 Revenue from Equipment Rentals
Drilling Products Revenue — revenues are primarily generated from the rental of drilling equipment, comprised of drill bits and downhole tools. These arrangements provide the customer with the right to control the use of the identified asset. Generally, the lease terms in such arrangements are for periods of two to three days and do not provide customers with options to purchase the underlying asset.
Other — we are a non-operating working interest owner of oil and natural gas assets primarily located in Texas and New Mexico. The ownership terms are outlined in joint operating agreements for each well between the operator of the well and the various interest owners, including us, who are considered non-operators of the well. We receive revenue each period for our working interest in the well during the period.

Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated at least annually on July 31, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating recorded goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below our operating segments. We determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value after considering qualitative, market and other factors. Any necessary goodwill impairment is determined using a quantitative impairment test. If the resulting fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount of the shortfall. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs are based on internal management estimates, forecasts, and significant judgment.
We determined our drilling products operating segment consists of a single reporting unit and, accordingly, goodwill acquired from our acquisition of Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P. in 2023 was allocated to that reporting unit. We determined our completion services operating segment consisted of two reporting units; completion services, which was primarily comprised of our hydraulic fracturing operations and other integrated service offerings, and cementing services.
Goodwill Impairment Assessment
During 2024, negative market indicators such as lower industry-wide drilling rig and pressure pumping fleet count forecasts, increased volatility and pricing declines in the pressure pumping market, and continued efficiency gains and technology advancements reducing operating days led to our reduced outlook for activity. During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that the reduction in activity forecasts combined with the decline in the market price of our common stock was a triggering event that warranted a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment.
In connection with this 2024 assessment, we estimated the fair value of the drilling products and the completion services reporting units using the income approach. Under this approach, we used a discounted cash flow model, which utilized present values of cash flows to estimate fair value. Forecasted cash flows reflected known market conditions in the third quarter of 2024 and management's anticipated business outlook for each reporting unit. Future cash flows were projected based on estimates of revenue growth rates, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. The terminal period used within the discounted cash flow model for each reporting unit consisted of a 1% growth estimate. Future cash flows were then discounted using a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital of 10.25% for the drilling products reporting unit and 10.75% for the completion services reporting unit. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgment must be applied to determine whether credit market changes are a short-term or long-term trend.
In connection with this 2024 assessment, we estimated the fair value of the cementing services reporting unit in our completion services operating segment using a market approach. The market approach was based on trading multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for companies comparable to the cementing services reporting unit.
For purposes of our 2024 assessment, the forecast for the completion services reporting unit assumed lower activity in 2025 compared to average activity levels for full year 2024 and increases in estimated activity of 2% to 8% beginning in 2026 through 2029. Those estimates were based on future drilling rig and pressure pumping fleet count forecasts during the third quarter of 2024 and estimated market share. Additionally, the forecast reflected the expectation that industry-wide pricing pressure would persist
within the completions market and continue to compress adjusted gross profit. These factors negatively impacted the estimated value of the reporting unit.
Based on the results of the quantitative assessment, the fair value of the completion services reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Accordingly, we recorded an $885 million impairment charge to goodwill for the completion services reporting unit during the third quarter of 2024.
The forecast for the drilling products reporting unit assumed continued growth domestically as well as in international markets. Geopolitical instability in regions in which we expect to maintain and grow market share, a global decrease in the demand of drilling products, or other unforeseen macroeconomic considerations could negatively impact the key assumptions used in our goodwill assessment for our drilling products reporting unit.
During the first quarter of 2025, the majority of our primary market indicators stabilized as did management’s outlook on future activity. As such, as of March 31, 2025, we determined there were no events that would indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable or that potential impairment exists.
Subsequent to March 31, 2025, global economic conditions deteriorated, in part, because of recently enacted trade policies and tariffs implemented by the United States and other governments, as well as uncertainty regarding potential future changes to global trade policies and tariffs. Additionally, subsequent to March 31, 2025, several OPEC+ countries announced plans to phase out existing crude oil output cuts earlier than anticipated. These developments and geopolitical tensions have introduced increased uncertainty in global energy markets, which has contributed to a decline in our share price, lowered crude oil futures prices and increased uncertainty regarding the future economic environment in which we operate. The recent deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and the decline in our share price occurred after the balance sheet date and do not reflect conditions that existed as of March 31, 2025. Accordingly, these developments have not been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
While the full effects are yet to be determined, prolonged trade tensions and sustained lower crude oil futures prices could adversely affect our future outlook on activity and profitability. If these conditions persist or deteriorate further, or if other unforeseen macroeconomic conditions emerge, they could negatively impact the key assumptions used in our goodwill assessment for our drilling products and cementing services reporting units. A decrease in fair value resulting from unfavorable changes to these assumptions, or others, could result in goodwill impairment in future periods that could be material to our results of operations and financial statements as a whole. We are unable to reasonably estimate the magnitude or timing of any such potential impacts.
We will continue to monitor these developments and evaluate the implications on the carrying value of goodwill in future interim periods.
