Overview and Industry Outlook
Both the market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. The level of capital expenditures has generally been dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies and the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. The Brent crude oil price began a slow recovery in 2017 after a sharp drop during 2015 and 2016, with an average price of $54.15. During 2018, crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel and ending the year at a low of $50.57 per barrel. This trend continued in 2019, as Brent crude oil prices fluctuated from a high of $74.94 per barrel and ending the year at a low of $53.23 per barrel. According to the January 2020 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent crude oil prices averaged approximately $64.36 per barrel in 2019, and the price is forecasted to average $64.83 per barrel in 2020 and $67.53 per barrel in 2021.
Capital expenditures are also dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the availability, expiration date and price of leases, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves, technological advances and alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. Future declines in oil and gas prices may further adversely affect the willingness of some oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. In its January 2020 Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA reported United States crude oil production averaged an estimated 12.2 million barrels per day in 2019 and is forecasted to average 13.3 million barrels per day in 2020.
Brent crude oil prices per barrel for the three-year period ended December 31, 2019 are summarized below:

The volatility in Brent crude oil prices over the past three years continues to have a significant effect on major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies’ capital expenditure budgets. The Company expects continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities, particularly as they relate to offshore activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. Slow drilling and production activity, which had a negative impact on the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2019 is expected to improve slightly in 2020. A prolonged delay in the recovery of commodity prices could also lead to further material impairment charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.”
Products and Services
Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance and rental tools during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. Additionally, the Company earns service revenues when rework and reconditioning services are provided. In 2019, the Company derived 73.1% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 17.4% of its revenues from services and 9.5% of its revenues from leasing rental tools, compared to 68.9%, 18.8% and 12.3% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2018, respectively, and 77.1%, 13.6% and 9.3% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2017, respectively. Service and leasing revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services during installation and rental of running tools. However, existing customer equipment can be used in certain circumstances, which creates demand for services with no correlating product sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 65.0% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2019, 61.0% in 2018 and 55.0% in 2017. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 35.0% of the Company’s total revenues in 2019, 39.0% in 2018 and 45.0% in 2017.
6
Product contracts are typically negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the customer as a condition of the sale of the Company’s products. The demand for products and services is generally based on worldwide economic conditions in the oil and gas industry, and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Company’s products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including global oil prices, competitive pricing pressure, the level of utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market conditions.
Products
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and markets subsea equipment, downhole tools, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment. The Company’s products are used primarily for exploration and production of oil and gas from offshore drilling rigs, such as floating rigs and jack-up rigs, and for drilling and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, tension leg platforms (TLPs), Spars and moored vessels such as floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels (FPSOs). TLPs are floating production platforms that are connected to the ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers. A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven times longer than its diameter and is anchored in place. The TIW products are used in the drilling and production for oil and gas both onshore and offshore.
Subsea Equipment - Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas wells around the world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, production riser systems, subsea production trees, liner hangers, subsea control systems and subsea manifolds.
Subsea wellheads are pressure-containing vessels that are sometimes referred to as a “wellhead housing” and are made from forged and machined steel. A casing hanger, also made of steel, lands inside the wellhead housing and suspends casing (pipe) downhole. As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter casing strings are installed, each suspended by an independent casing hanger. Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs, either semi-submersible or drillship types, or TLPs and Spars. The Company’s flagship subsea wellhead, called the SS-15® Subsea Wellhead System, is rated for 15,000 psi internal pressure and is offered to the industry in a variety of configurations. The Company’s newest wellhead product, the SS-20 BigBore II-e Subsea Wellhead System, is designed to contain higher pressures (20,000 pounds per square inch (psi)) and provides the ability to reduce the number of casing strings in the well design by increasing load carrying and pressure capacities of casing hangers and associated installation tools.
Mudline hanger systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support the weight of the various casing strings at the ocean floor while drilling a well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an orderly manner at the ocean floor after the well has been drilled, and subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it back vertically to a subsequently installed platform or by installing a shallow water subsea tree.
Large diameter weld-on specialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used primarily in offshore wells drilled from floating drilling rigs, jack-up rigs, fixed platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or large diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a more rapid connection than other methods of connecting lengths of pipe. Connectors may be sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to sections of Company or customer supplied pipe. Dril-Quip’s weld-on specialty connectors are designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick, convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity compatible with casing strength.
Production riser systems are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Production risers provide a vertical conduit from the subsea wellhead up to a TLP, Spar or FPSO floating at the surface.
A subsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a wellhead connector, control equipment and various other components installed on a subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well. Subsea trees may be used as stand alone satellite wells or multiple well template mounted and cluster arrangements. These types typically produce via a subsea gathering system of manifolds and flowlines to a central control point located on a platform, TLP, Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly important method for producing wells located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an established manufacturer of complicated dual-bore production trees. In addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a single bore subsea completion system. This system eliminates the need for an expensive multibore installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation time. The horizontal bore subsea production completion system accommodates numerous completion configuration possibilities and features large vertical access drill-through for passage of drill-bits, submersible pumps, coil tubing strings and Dril-Quip's slimline casing hanger system. The concentric monobore vertical bore subsea production system accommodates numerous completion configuration possibilities including in tubing head and in the subsea wellhead. Dril-Quip’s subsea production trees are used in ultra-deepwater applications. These trees feature remote flowline and control connections, utilizing remotely operated intervention tools. The Company’s subsea production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
7
A subsea control system provides control of subsea trees, manifolds, ocean floor process equipment and pipeline protection equipment. Dril-Quip has developed a variety of subsea control systems, including fiber optic based multiplex control systems that provide real time access to tree functions and tree equipment status. The control system can be packaged for shallow water or deepwater applications. Dril-Quip also manufactures control systems used in the installation, retrieval and workover of production equipment.
A subsea manifold is a structure located on the ocean floor consisting of valves, flowline connections and a control module used to collect and control the flow of oil and gas from subsea wells for delivery to a floating production unit or terminal.
Downhole Tools - Downhole tools are primarily comprised of liner hangers, production packers, safety valves and specialty downhole tools. A liner hanger is used to hang-off and seal casing into a previously installed casing string in the well bore, and can provide a means of tying back the liner for production to surface. Dril-Quip has developed a state-of-the-art liner hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of difficult well applications, resulting in improved industry recognition and market opportunities. In addition to liner hanger systems that are well suited for onshore use, TIW offers expandable liner hanger systems that are typically utilized in challenging environments such as deepwater or High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) applications.
Surface Equipment - Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, TLPs and Spars. Included in the Company’s surface equipment product line are platform wellheads, platform production trees and riser tensioners. Dril-Quip’s development of platform wellheads and platform production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its existing subsea wellhead and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.
Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed at the platform deck to suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing wellhead systems with operational time-saving features which can be used in high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and production applications.
After installation of a wellhead, a platform production tree , consisting of gate valves, a surface wellhead connector, controls, tree cap and associated equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas production. Platform production trees are similar to subsea production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than hydraulically actuated, valves and connectors. Platform wellheads and platform production trees and associated equipment are designed and manufactured in accordance with customer specifications.
Riser tensioners are used on a floating drilling/production vessel to provide a continuous and reliable upward force on a riser string that is independent of the movement of the floating vessel.
Rig Equipment - Rig equipment includes drilling riser systems, wellhead connectors, diverters, safety valves and cement manifolds. The drilling riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the telescopic joint, which connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at top of the riser at the rig and provides a means to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector , which provides a means for remote connection and disconnection of the blowout preventer stack to or from the wellhead. Diverters are used to provide protection from shallow gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation. A safety valve is used to provide a quick, sure shutoff in the drill string at the drill floor and prevent flow up the drill pipe. The TIW Kelly Valve is located in the drill string below the kelly, the uppermost component of the drill string, and is designed to be closed under pressure to remove the kelly. Cement manifolds are used to control the flow of cement and other fluids during the cementing operations of the well installation.
Wellhead connectors are used on production riser systems and drilling riser systems. They are also used on both TLPs and Spars, which are installed in deepwater applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs, rig upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Drilling risers, wellhead connectors and diverters are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
Certain of the Company's products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.”
Services
The Company provides services to customers, including technical advisory assistance as well as rework and reconditioning services on its customer-owned products. These services are provided from the Company’s worldwide locations and represented approximately 17.4% of revenues in 2019 compared to 18.8% in 2018 and 13.6% in 2017.
Technical Advisory Assistance. Dril-Quip generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance to the customer, if requested, in the installation of its products. The customer is not obligated to utilize these services and may use its own personnel or a third party to perform these services. Technical advisory assistance services performed by the Company are negotiated and sold separately from the Company’s products. These services are not a prerequisite to the sale of the Company’s products as its products are fully functional on a stand alone basis. The Company’s technicians provide assistance in the onsite installation of the Company’s products and are available on a 24-hour call out from the Company’s facilities located in

Running tools are available from Dril-Quip’s locations in Houston, Texas; Midland, Texas; Villahermosa, Mexico; Anaco, Venezuela; Shushufindi, Ecuador; Macae, Brazil; Aberdeen, Scotland; Szolnok, Hungary; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Singapore; and Perth, Australia. These rentals are provided from the Company's worldwide locations and represented approximately 9.5% of revenues in 2019 compared to 12.3% in 2018 and 9.3% in 2017. During the later part of 2019, we leased our forge facilities and equipment to AFGlobal Corporation.
Manufacturing
Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; and Macae, Brazil. See “Item 2. Properties—Manufacturing Facilities.” Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of product quality through the implementation of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) methodologies, as well as through the use of quality control specialists.
The Company’s Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae manufacturing plants are ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 certified. The Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae plants are also licensed to applicable American Petroleum Institute (API) product specifications and are API Q1, 9 th edition and APIQ2 compliant. Dril-Quip works to maintain its high standards of product quality through the use of precision measuring equipment such as MRP gages, Faro Arms, Coordinate Measuring Machine and the application of APQP. APQP entails concurrent engineering principles to identify and address potential quality concerns early in the product development process. The Company has the capability to manufacture its products globally and continues to have local capability in key critical markets. The Company’s primary raw material is forged steel products which it procures from qualified forging suppliers located globally as well as domestically through AFGlobal Corporation.
Dril-Quip’s manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools and equipment, which contribute to the Company’s product quality and timely delivery. The Company has also developed a cost effective, in-house machine tool rebuild and refurbishment capability, which produces machine upgrades with customized features to enhance the economic manufacturing of its specialized products. This strategy provides the added advantage of in-house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these machines.
Customers
The Company’s principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies. Drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of the Company’s customer base. The Company’s customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in exploration and production.
The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2019, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 52% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. In 2018, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 56% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of total revenues. In 2017, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 49% of total revenues and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% of total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in 2019, 2018 or 2017. The number and variety of the Company’s products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount of that customer’s capital expenditure budget devoted to exploration and production and on the results of competitive bids for major projects. Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of its significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Backlog
Backlog consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, signed contract or letter of award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically, the Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Company’s product backlog was approximately $272.5 million and $270.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The backlog at the end of 2019 represents an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or 1.0%, from the end of 2018. The Company’s backlog balance during
9
2019 was negatively impacted by translation adjustments of approximately $0.5 million, due primarily to the weakening of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, and approximately $61.0 million in cancellations.
During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser (TTR) systems and related services for the development of the Ca Rong Do Project (CRD Project) located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project was terminated in the third quarter of 2019 and is no longer included within the backlog balance as of December 31, 2019.
The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2019 product backlog by December 31, 2020. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2019 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times.
In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. As part of an amendment to extend the term of the contract for an additional four years, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately $24.4 million (based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of December 31, 2019, Petrobras has issued purchase orders totaling that minimum required amount. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”
Marketing and Sales
Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly through its sales personnel in multiple domestic and international locations. In addition, in certain foreign markets the Company utilizes independent sales agents or representatives to enhance its marketing and sales efforts.
Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has sales agents or representatives are Trinidad, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Although they do not have authority to contractually bind the Company, these representatives market the Company’s products in their respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company advertises its products and services in trade and technical publications targeted to its customer base. The Company also participates in industry conferences and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of its products.
The Company’s customers generally order products on a purchase order basis. Orders, other than those considered to be long-term projects, are typically filled within twelve months after receipt, depending on the type of product and whether it is sold out of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the Company’s larger, more complex products, such as subsea production trees, drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars, can take a year or more to complete.
The primary factors influencing a customer’s decision to purchase the Company’s products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery. For large drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate customer needs with the Company’s engineering, manufacturing and service organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors.
A portion of the Company’s business consists of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number of such projects in any year may fluctuate. The Company’s profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and cost effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors, including availability of raw materials, changes in customer requirements and governmental regulations, can adversely affect the Company’s performance on individual projects, with potential material adverse effects on project profitability.
Product Development and Engineering
The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments include water depths in excess of 10,000 feet, well pressures exceeding 15,000 psi, well flowing temperatures beyond 350 degrees Fahrenheit and mixed flows of oil, gas and water that may also be highly corrosive and impact material properties.
Since its founding in 1981, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing development efforts to generate new products and improve existing products. When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most technologically advanced version for a particular application to establish its reputation and qualification in that product. Thereafter, the Company leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to produce less costly and complex versions of the product for less demanding applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but also operating, installation and maintenance costs associated with its products.
10
In the 1980s, the Company introduced its first product, specialty connectors, as well as mudline suspension systems, template systems and subsea wellheads. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of new products, including diverters, wellhead connectors, SingleBore™ subsea trees, improved severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform valves, platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser systems, drilling riser systems and TLP and Spar production riser systems. Since 2000, Dril-Quip has introduced multiple new products, including liner hangers, subsea control systems, subsea manifolds, riser tensioners, and enhanced versions of subsea wellhead connectors and Dril-Quip’s industry leading subsea wellhead system(s). Recent product development efforts focus on the evolution and enhancement of Dril-Quip’s subsea tree portfolio to align with projected market needs, ability to meet a wider array of customer applications, and offer customers overall project cost savings through technological advantages.
Historically, Dril-Quip’s product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas; however, such activities have gradually increased in other regions, such as Aberdeen, Scotland, Singapore and Brazil. In addition to the work of its product development staff, the Company’s application engineering staff provides technical services to customers in connection with the design and sales of its products. The Company’s ability to develop new products and maintain technological advantages is important to its future success. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors-Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.”
The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing product development and manufacturing activities, Dril-Quip’s policy has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to the Company and almost all of the Company’s products have components that are covered by patents.
In 2019, major production milestones were met for several key global projects. In the North Sea, the additional subsea completion trees for a subsea field development project were successfully installed. Dril-Quip performed an extensive front-end engineering and design contract for a subsea production system project located off the coast of South America. Additional subsea trees were delivered and installed for field development projects off the coasts of Gabon and the UK Continental Shelf; the latter of which included a novel protective structure for shallow water applications within the region. The completion of a subsea completion field development and associated start-up activities for an offshore project within Indonesia included the subsea and topside control system architecture, reinforcing Dril-Quip’s ability to support larger scopes within the subsea production system market. Also, off the coast of Mexico, multiple deepwater subsea wellhead systems were installed with the support of a new service facility in Villahermosa, expanding Dril-Quip's aftermarket support presence in the region in support of international oil and gas operators entry in the Mexican Gulf of Mexico. Dril-Quip continued to support the tieback of multiple wells for projects in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil. Engineering, manufacturing, assembly and test work continued on additional subsea completion projects for upcoming installations off the coasts of India and the UK, and contribute to the Company’s subsea production system backlog that has increased year-to-year. The requirements of the equipment in these projects represent significant technological challenges, the development of which is serving to enhance the Company's overall engineering capabilities and has resulted in product bookings for several new products throughout the year.
Dril-Quip’s continued efforts in developing technologically advanced products enable Dril-Quip to offer products for the harshest environments. The latest subsea wellhead system has been ordered by a major oil company for its high pressure, high temperature applications, further strengthening Dril-Quip’s position in the subsea market.
In an ongoing test program, the Company continued the utilization of its recently constructed high-load horizontal test machine and fatigue test machine for rigorous validation testing of its existing specialty connector product line. Active engineering programs have been initiated in-house to continue development in specialty connector product enhancements as well as new product development. This high-load horizontal test machine has been instrumental in the development and qualification of our 20,000 psi wellhead system, riser connector that utilizes Dril-Quip proprietary locking, sealing profiles, and 20,000 psi flange. Engineering development efforts are on-going in subsea production systems.
In early 2016, the Company announced that it is establishing a research and development facility in Singapore that focuses on materials and products suitable for HPHT applications. The new facility serves as an additional hub for research and development activities for the Company.
Dril-Quip has numerous U.S. registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip®, Quik-Thread®, Quik-Stab®, Multi-Thread®, MS-15®, SS-15®, SS-10®, SU-90®, DX® and TIW®. The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries where such registration is deemed material.
Although in the aggregate, the Company’s patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Dril-Quip® trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets.
11
Competition
Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers and suppliers of exploration and production equipment. Several of its primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many instances, have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer period of time than the Company. The Company competes principally with the petroleum production equipment segments of Baker Hughes; Schlumberger, Ltd.; TechnipFMC plc; and Aker Solutions.
Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of the Company’s competitors have the ability to provide “turnkey” services for drilling and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to the exclusion of Dril-Quip’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.” The Company also competes to a lesser extent with a number of other companies in various products. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum drilling and production equipment markets are quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery.
Employees
The total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 2018 was 1,926. Of those 1,926 employees, 946 were located in the United States. As a result of worldwide reductions in workforce and natural attrition, the total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 2019 was 1,814, a 6% reduction from December 31, 2018. Of those 1,814 employees, 906 were located in the United States. Substantially all of the Company's employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
The Company’s operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. While the Company believes that its wage and salary rates are competitive and that its relationship with its labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages and salaries paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of the Company’s labor force, increases in the wage and salary rates paid by the Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by the Company from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the Company could be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be impaired. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.”
Governmental Regulations
Many aspects of the Company’s operations are affected by political developments and are subject to both domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, the discharge of materials into the environment from our manufacturing or other facilities, health and worker safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to human health and environmental protection. In addition, the Company depends on the demand for its services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to onshore and offshore operations. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect the Company’s operations by limiting demand for the Company’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”
In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of the environment. Legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences. In November 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) was held in Paris with the objective to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2 C (Celsius), from all nations, regardless of size. The Paris Agreement, signed by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, requires countries to review and “represent a progression” in their nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, every five years. However, in November 2019, the United States initiated the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November 2020. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. Moreover, specific design and operational standards apply to U.S. outer continental shelf vessels, rigs, platforms, vehicles, structures and equipment.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulates the design and operation of well control and other equipment at offshore production sites, among other requirements. BSEE has adopted stricter requirements for subsea drilling production equipment. In April 2016, BSEE published a final blowout preventer systems and well control rule, which focuses on blowout preventer requirements and includes reforms in well design, well control, casing, cementing, real-time monitoring and subsea containment, among other things. BSEE also finalized a rule in September 2016 concerning production safety systems for oil and
12
natural gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf. However, in December 2017, BSEE published a proposed rule that would revise a number of the requirements in the September 2016 rule. The final rule implementing these revisions was published in September 2018. Subsequently, on May 2, 2019, BSEE issued the 2019 Well Control Rule, the revised well control and blowout preventer rule governing Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) activities. The new rule revised the then existing regulations impacting offshore oil and gas drilling, completions, workovers, and decommissioning activities. Specifically, the 2019 Well Control Rule addresses six areas of offshore operations: well design, well control, casing, cementing, real-time monitoring , and subsea containment. The revisions were targeted to ensure safety and environmental protection while correcting errors in the 2016 rule and reducing unnecessary regulatory burden. In addition, drilling in certain areas has been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. For example, in December 2016, the Obama administration banned offshore drilling in portions of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. Although the Trump administration announced a proposal in January 2018 to open most U.S. coastal waters to offshore drilling, several coastal states have taken steps to prohibit offshore drilling. For example, California passed laws in September 2018 barring the construction of new oil drilling-related infrastructure in state waters. Similarly, in November 2018, voters in Florida approved an amendment to the state constitution that would ban oil and gas drilling in offshore state waters. Further, in December 2018, environmental groups challenged incidental harassment authorizations issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service that allow companies to conduct air gun seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration off the Atlantic coast. The attorneys general for nine coastal states also sought to intervene as plaintiffs. To the extent that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or restrict drilling or impose additional environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. Similarly, restrictions on authorizations needed to conduct seismic surveys could impact our customers' ability to identify oil and gas reserves, thereby reducing demand for our products. The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”
Our operations are also governed by laws and regulations related to workplace safety and worker health, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Based on the Company’s experience to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing environmental, health and safety laws. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of or by regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In this Item 1A., the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “Dril-Quip” used herein refer to Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or as the context so requires.
A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.
Our business depends upon the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. The level of capital expenditures is generally dependent on the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including:
|
• |
worldwide economic activity; |
|
• |
the level of exploration and production activity; |
|
• |
interest rates and the cost of capital; |
|
• |
environmental regulation; |
|
• |
government initiatives to promote the use of renewable energy sources and public sentiment and consumer demand regarding renewable energy and electric vehicles; |
|
• |
federal, state and foreign policies regarding exploration and development of oil and gas; |
|
• |
the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other major producers to set and maintain production levels and pricing; |
|
• |
governmental regulations regarding future oil and gas exploration and production; |
|
• |
the cost of exploring and producing oil and gas; |
|
• |
technological advances affecting energy consumption; |
|
• |
the cost of developing alternative energy sources; |
|
• |
the availability, expiration date and price of onshore and offshore leases; |
|
• |
the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in onshore and offshore areas; |
|
• |
the success of drilling for oil and gas in unconventional resource plays such as shale formations; |
|
• |
alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration and production opportunities; |
|
• |
technological advances and new techniques that render drilling more efficient or reduce demand for, and production of, fossil fuels; and |
|
• |
weather conditions and natural disasters. |
Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political and economic events have contributed to crude oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. In addition, the effects of global health epidemics and concerns, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19), could negatively impact demand for crude oil and natural gas in affected areas which could contribute to further price volatility.
14
We expect continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities, particularly as they relate to offshore activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of our products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. These risks are greater during periods of low or declining commodity prices. The sustained lower crude oil and natural gas prices, along with lower drilling and production activity, have had a negative impact on our results of operations.
We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts and contract tenders.
Our products are used primarily in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. We anticipate that such testing requirements will become more common in our contracts. In addition, scrutiny of the drilling industry has resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such specifications. We cannot assure you that our products will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations. If our products are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable to perform any required full-scale testing, our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position may be adversely affected.
We rely on technology provided by third parties and our business may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to renew our licensing arrangements with them.
We have existing contracts and may enter into new contracts with customers that require us to use technology or to purchase components from third parties, including some of our competitors. In the ordinary course of our business, we have entered into licensing agreements with some of these third parties for the use of such technology, including a license from a competitor of a technology important to our subsea wellheads. We may not be able to renew our existing licenses or to purchase these components on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to use a technology or purchase a component, we may not be able to meet existing contractual commitments without increased costs or modifications or at all. In addition, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology or component or to redesign our products, either of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.
Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than ours and which have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer time than us. If these competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing competitive products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product and service offerings and financial resources, further intensifying competition.
The loss of a significant customer could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Our principal customers are major integrated oil and gas companies, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies throughout the world. Drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of our customer base. In 2019, our top 15 customers represented approximately 52% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues. In 2018 and 2017, our top 15 customers represented approximately 56% and 49% of total revenues, respectively, while BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of 2018 total revenues and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% of 2017 total revenues. The loss of one or more of our significant customers could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our customers’ industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers or the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.
Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing processes could negatively impact our profitability.
Any increases in commodity prices for items such as nickel, molybdenum and heavy metal scrap that are used to make the steel alloys required for our products would result in an increase in our raw material costs. Similarly, any increase in energy costs would
15
increase our product costs. If we are not successful in raising our prices on products to compensate for any increased raw material or energy costs, our margins will be negatively impacted.
We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, and our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.
Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials from third parties. The ability of these third parties to deliver raw materials may be affected by events beyond our control. Any interruption in the supply of raw materials needed to manufacture our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation with our customers.
Conditions in the global financial system may have impacts on our business and financial position that we currently cannot predict.
Uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability of our customers to finance purchases of our products and services and could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders included in our backlog or adversely affect the collectability of our receivables. If the availability of credit to our customers is reduced, they may reduce their drilling and production expenditures, thereby decreasing demand for our products and services, which could have a negative impact on our financial position. Additionally, unsettled conditions could have an impact on our suppliers, causing them to be unable to meet their obligations to us. A prolonged constriction on future lending by banks or investors could result in higher interest rates on future debt obligations or could restrict our ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet our long-term operational and capital needs.
We are exposed to the credit risks of our customers, and a general increase in the nonpayment and nonperformance by customers could have an adverse impact on our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. Certain of our customers finance their activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. In an economic downturn, commodity prices typically decline, and the credit markets and availability of credit can be expected to be constrained. Additionally, certain of our customers’ equity values could decline. The combination of lower cash flow due to commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of available debt or equity financing may result in a significant reduction in our customers’ liquidity and ability to pay or otherwise perform on their obligations to us. Furthermore, some of our customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks, which increases the risk that they may default on their obligations to us. Any increase in the nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers could have an adverse impact on our operating results and could adversely affect our liquidity.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.
The revenues projected in our backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. All of the projects currently included in our backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is generally required to pay us for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
We can give no assurance that our backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of our products are affected by prices for oil and natural gas, which have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Contracts denominated in foreign currency are also affected by changes in exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on our backlog. When drilling and production levels are depressed, a customer may no longer need the equipment or services currently under contract or may be able to obtain comparable equipment or services at lower prices. As a result, customers may delay projects, exercise their termination rights or attempt to renegotiate contract terms.
For example, during the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply TTR systems and related services for the development of the CRD Project located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project was terminated in the third quarter of 2019 and is no longer included within the backlog balance as of December 31, 2019.
Continued declines in, or sustained low levels of, oil and natural gas prices could also reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in our future backlog. If we experience significant project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to contracts reflected in our backlog, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
Impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets, inventory, intangible assets and goodwill could negatively affect our operating results.
We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and we could incur additional impairment charges related to the carrying value of our long lived assets.
As a result of continued unfavorable offshore market conditions and low commodity prices, the Company engaged in a strategic review with a third-party firm in 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025. Additionally, the Company pursued a global transformation, which included a reduction in workforce, realignment of facilities and restructuring of operations. We expect this transformation to allow us to maintain our global footprint in key markets, while supporting an integrated
16
supply chain model that we expect to create more flexibility and allow us to continue serving our customers. The Company completed the strategic restructuring in 2019. The full benefit of the restructuring is expected to be realized in 2020 and future years.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we incurred inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. These charges are reflected as Impairment, restructuring and other charges in our consolidated statement of operations. There were no impairment charges recorded in the year ended December 31, 2019.
For goodwill, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our three reporting units' net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital, a terminal growth value and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its calculated fair value.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. An interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71%. Further declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional impairment charges associated with goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment annually on October 1 or when events occur or circumstances change that would trigger such a review. The impairment test entails an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we performed an analysis of our goodwill and as a result of our qualitative assessment no impairment was recorded.
During 2019, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $74.94 per barrel, a low of $53.23 per barrel, and an average of $64.28 per barrel. Continued weakness or volatility in market conditions may further deteriorate the financial performance or future prospects of our operating segments from current levels, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets, inventory or goodwill and negatively impact our financial results in the period of impairment.
Our international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
We have substantial international operations, with approximately 65.0% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in 2019, 61.0% in 2018 and 55.0% in 2017. We operate our business and market our products and services in many of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and are, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. Risks associated with our international operations include:
|
• |
volatility in general economic, social and political conditions; |
|
• |
terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances; |
|
• |
expropriation or nationalization of assets; |
|
• |
renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts; |
|
• |
foreign taxation, including changes in laws or differing interpretations of existing laws; |
|
• |
assaults on property or personnel; |
|
• |
restrictive action by local governments; |
|
• |
foreign and domestic monetary policies; |
|
• |
limitations on repatriation of earnings; |
17
|
• |
the occurrence of a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies; |
|
• |
travel limitations or operational problems caused by public health threats; and |
|
• |
changes in currency exchange rates. |
Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture products abroad or the demand for our products and services in some locations. To date, we have not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The recent outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, could cause disruption to our suppliers or their manufacturers located in China and elsewhere. Our suppliers and their manufacturers could be disrupted by worker absenteeism, quarantines, or other travel or health-related restrictions as a result of COVID-19 outbreaks or concern over COVID-19 or could incur increased costs associated with ensuring the safety and health of their personnel. If our suppliers or their manufacturers are so affected, our supply chain could be disrupted, our product shipments could be delayed, our costs could be increased and our business could be adversely affected.
Additionally, COVID-19 outbreaks or concern over COVID-19 could disrupt our operations by restricting employee travel and increasing work absenteeism. Any such disruption in our operations could adversely affect our business.
The effects of global health epidemics and concerns, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19), could negatively impact demand and prices for crude oil and natural gas.
Our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and foreign regulations governing the international trade of goods, services and technology, which expose us to compliance risks.
Doing business on a worldwide basis exposes us and our subsidiaries to risks inherent in complying with the laws and regulations of a number of different nations, including various anti-bribery laws. We do business and have operations in a number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more developed countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having a culture in which requests for improper payments are not discouraged. As a result, we may be subject to risks under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act of 2010 and similar laws in other countries that generally prohibit companies and their representatives from making, offering or authorizing improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have adopted policies and procedures, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethical Practices, which are designed to promote compliance with such laws. However, maintaining and administering an effective compliance program under applicable anti-bribery laws in developing countries presents greater challenges than is the case in more developed countries.
In addition, the movement of goods, services and technology subjects us to complex legal regimes governing international trade. Our import activities are governed by unique tariff and customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. Further, many of the countries in which we do business maintain controls on the export or reexport of certain goods, services and technology, as well as economic sanctions that prohibit or restrict business activities in, with or involving certain persons, entities or countries. These laws and regulations concerning import and export activity, including their recordkeeping and reporting requirements, are complex and frequently changing. Moreover, they may be adopted, enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that could materially impact our operations.
The precautions we take to prevent and detect misconduct, fraud or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing international trade, including anti-bribery laws, may not be able to prevent such occurrences, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to criminal or civil penalties, such as fines, imprisonment, sanctions, debarment from government contracts, seizure of shipments and loss of import and export privileges. In addition, actual or alleged violations of such laws and regulations could be expensive and consume significant time and attention of senior management to investigate and resolve, as well as damage our reputation and ability to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We are also subject to the risks that our employees, agents and other representatives may act or fail to act in violation of such laws or regulations or our compliance policies and procedures.
The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union, including the subsequent exchange rate fluctuations and political and economic uncertainties, may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.
The June 23, 2016 referendum by British voters to exit the European Union (Brexit), and the uncertainty that has followed, has adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound sterling, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates could be expected to continue in the short to medium term as the United Kingdom (U.K.) seeks U.K. Parliamentary approval for its terms of exit from the European Union, to the uncertainty surrounding the date on which the U.K. will exit the European Union and the need for and terms of the U.K.’s new international trade agreements. Exchange rate volatility could also be expected due to the risk that the U.K. might exit the European Union (E.U.)without a withdrawal agreement in force. A weaker British pound sterling compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period would cause local currency results of the Company's U.K. operations to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. In addition, the
18
Company continues to monitor potential changes to trade and customs requirements as a result of Brexit. Continued adverse consequences such as deterioration in economic conditions and volatility in currency exchange rates could have a negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
On October 28, 2019, following the U.K.'s failure to exit the E.U. on the originally scheduled exit date of March 29, 2019, the E.U. further extended the deadline for the U.K. to approve a negotiated withdrawal agreement to January 31, 2020. As of January 31, 2020 (“exit day”), the U.K. has formally left the E.U. Under the terms of the withdrawal agreement, a post-Brexit transition period started on exit day and will end on December 31, 2020 unless extended (the end of the “transition period”). The transition period, however, can be extended "for up to one or two years" in a one-off decision made by the joint U.K. and E.U. committee before June 30, 2020. Significant change is expected at the end of the transition period, even if a comprehensive future U.K. and E.U. relationship is concluded within the transition period. Further, negotiations on the future U.K. and E.U. relationship are likely to continue after the end of the transition period.
The consequences of Brexit and the negotiations that the U.K. is currently undertaking with other countries with a view to replicating (where possible) the effects of the E.U.’s international trade agreements, which the U.K. will no longer benefit from, together with the protracted negotiations around the terms of Brexit, could introduce significant uncertainties into global financial markets and adversely impact the regions in which we and our clients operate. For example, importing and exporting activity from our Aberdeen manufacturing facility could be subject to higher costs and delays, which could cause disruptions in our delivery schedules to our customers. In the long term, Brexit could also create uncertainty with respect to the legal and regulatory requirements to which we and our customers in the U.K. are subject and lead to divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. government determines which E.U. laws to modify or replace.
Continued adverse consequences, such as deterioration in economic conditions and volatility in currency exchange rates, and the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could have a negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final determination of our tax liabilities.
As a result of our international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. Accordingly, our effective income tax rate and other tax obligations in the future could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, the mix of business executed in deemed profit regimes compared to book income regimes, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, disagreements with taxing authorities with respect to the interpretation of tax laws and regulations and changes in tax laws. In particular, foreign income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by foreign tax authorities, and these tax examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, interest or penalties. Refer to "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" regarding tax assessments in Brazil. We regularly assess all of these matters to determine the adequacy of our tax provision, which is subject to discretion. If our assessments are incorrect, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Moreover, the United States Congress, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in the other jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of "base erosion and profit shifting," where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we and our subsidiaries do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and such changes could adversely affect us.
Our excess cash is invested in various financial instruments which may subject us to potential losses.
We invest excess cash in various financial instruments including interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. However, changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the issuers, can affect the market value of our short-term investments.
We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations and limitations on the ability to repatriate income or capital to the United States.
We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U. S. dollar, and our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect the Company against such fluctuations in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that the countries in which we currently operate will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future.
Our foreign subsidiaries also hold significant amounts of cash that may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes of the applicable foreign country if we repatriate that cash to the United States.
19
Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. In addition, certain areas where our products are used, including in and near the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, are close to high population areas and subject to hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions on a relatively frequent basis. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and/or services are used may expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, environmental damage or commercial claims. Our general liability insurance program includes an aggregate coverage limit of $200 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. However, our insurance policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. In addition, our insurance does not provide coverage for all liabilities, and we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We attempt to further limit our liability through contractual indemnification provisions with our customers. We generally seek to enter into contracts for the provision of our products and services that provide for (1) the responsibility of each party to the contract for personal injuries to, or the death of, its employees and damages to its property, (2) cross-indemnification with other contractors providing products and/or services to the other party to the contract with respect to personal injury, death and property damage and (3) the operator being responsible for claims brought by third parties for personal injury, death, property loss or damage relating to pollution or other well control events. Due to competitive market pressures, we may not be able to successfully obtain favorable contractual provisions, and a failure to do so may increase our risks and costs, which could materially impact our results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that any party that is contractually obligated to indemnify us will be financially able to do so or that a court will enforce all such indemnities.
We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
A portion of our business consists of the designing, manufacturing and selling of our equipment for major projects pursuant to competitive bids, and is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all cost overruns, other than the amount of any cost overruns resulting from requested changes in order specifications. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. This may occur for various reasons, including:
|
• |
errors in estimates or bidding; |
|
• |
changes in availability and cost of labor and materials; |
|
• |
variations in productivity from our original estimates; and |
|
• |
material changes in foreign currency exchange rates. |
These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.
Technology is an important component of our business and growth strategy, and our success as a company depends to a significant extent on the development and implementation of new product designs and improvements. Whether we can continue to develop systems and services and related technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our ability to compete in the industry in which we operate. Many of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services and technologies than we are able to do.
Our ability to compete effectively will also depend on our ability to continue to obtain patents on our proprietary technology and products. Although we do not consider any single patent to be material to our business as a whole, the inability to protect our future innovations through patents could have a material adverse effect.
We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of over time method of accounting.
Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on an over time basis. We calculate the percent complete and apply the percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Accordingly, purchase order price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.
20
Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.
We depend on the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our President and Chief Executive Officer. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives. Such changes in our executive management team may be disruptive to our business. The loss of one or more of our key employees or groups could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Acquisitions, dispositions and investments may not result in anticipated benefits and may present risks not originally contemplated, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
From time to time, we evaluate purchases and sales of assets, businesses or other investments. These transactions may not result in the anticipated realization of savings, creation of efficiencies, offering of new products or services, generation of cash or income or reduction of risk. In addition, acquisitions may be financed by borrowings, requiring us to incur debt, or by the issuance of our common stock. These transactions involve numerous risks, and we cannot ensure that:
|
• |
any acquisition would be successfully integrated into our operations and internal controls; |
|
• |
the due diligence conducted prior to an acquisition would uncover situations that could result in financial or legal exposure; |
|
• |
the use of cash for acquisitions would not adversely affect our cash available for capital expenditures and other uses; |
|
• |
any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not divert management resources from the operation of our business; or |
|
• |
any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
Restrictions in the agreement governing the Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The operating and financial restrictions in the ABL Credit Facility and any future financing agreements could restrict our ability to finance future operations, capital needs or to access to capital at a reasonable cost or otherwise pursue our business activities. For example, ABL Credit Facility limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
|
• |
incur additional debt or issue guarantees; |
|
• |
incur or permit certain liens to exist; |
|
• |
make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments, including payments for the purchase of equity interests in the Company; |
|
• |
dispose of assets; |
|
• |
engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates; |
|
• |
merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and |
|
• |
prepay certain indebtedness. |
Furthermore, the ABL Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 based on the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges when availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of $15 million and 20% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments.
In addition, any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be at variable rates of interest that expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed will remain the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease.
A failure to comply with the covenants in the agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would permit the exercise of remedies against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Remedies under the ABL Credit Facility include foreclosure on the collateral securing the indebtedness and termination of the commitments under the ABL Credit Facility, and any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.
Our operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our business and our customers’ businesses may be significantly affected by:
|
• |
federal, state, local and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the oilfield operations, worker safety and the protection of the environment; |
|
• |
changes in these laws and regulations; |
21
|
• |
levels of enforcement of these laws and regulations; and |
|
• |
interpretation of existing laws and regulations. |
In addition, we depend on the demand for our products and services from the oil and gas industry. This demand is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. For example, the adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our products. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations and enforcement thereof.
Various new regulations intended to improve particularly offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been issued since 2010 that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some operators to continue deepwater drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial operations. Third-party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. If the new regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects, they could discontinue or curtail their operations, thereby adversely affecting our financial operations by decreasing demand for our products.
Because of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require hiring of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our businesses and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our operations and the operations of our customers are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect the products and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our products. For example, our operations are subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations that, among other things, may regulate the management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; require acquisition of environmental permits related to our operations; restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various materials that can be released into the environment; limit or prohibit operation activities in certain ecologically sensitive and other protected areas; regulate specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection; require compliance with operational and equipment standards; impose testing, reporting and record-keeping requirements; and require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with such environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. In addition, environmental laws and regulations could limit our customers’ exploration and production activities. These laws and regulations change frequently, which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future operations. For example, legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences, including the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21) in November 2015, which resulted in the creation of the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement, signed by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, requires countries to review and “represent a progression” in their nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, every five years. However, in November 2019, the United States initiated the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November 2020. Also, the EPA has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. Subsequent to the Paris Agreement, there has been no significant legislative progress in cap and trade proposals or greenhouse gas emission reductions. The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the hydrocarbons that our customers produce. Consequently, such legislation or regulatory programs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. It is too early to determine whether, or in what form, further regulatory action regarding greenhouse gas emissions will be adopted or what specific impact a new regulatory action might have on us or our customers. Generally, the anticipated regulatory actions do not appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent, than other companies that are our competitors. However, our business and prospects could be adversely affected to the extent laws are enacted or modified or other governmental action is taken that prohibits or restricts our customers’ exploration and production activities or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to us or our customers.
22
In addition to potential impacts on our business resulting from climate-change legislation or regulations, our business also could be negatively affected by climate-change related physical changes or changes in weather patterns. An increase in severe weather patterns could result in damages to or loss of our equipment, impact our ability to conduct our operations and/or result in a disruption of our customers’ operations. There have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds, promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital.
Environmental laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Some environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. These laws and regulations also may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations at the time such acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations could result in claims, fines or expenditures that could be material to results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our business could be adversely affected by a failure or breach of our information technology systems.
Our business operations depend on our information technology (IT) systems. Despite our security and back-up measures, our IT systems are vulnerable to cyber incidents or attacks, natural disasters and other disruptions or failures. Due to the nature of cyber-attacks, breaches to our IT systems could go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time. The failure of our IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt our business or the businesses of key customers or suppliers and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and those of our customers or suppliers, the loss, theft, corruption or inappropriate disclosure of confidential information or critical data, including sensitive employee and customer data, increased overhead costs, loss of revenue, legal liabilities and regulatory penalties, including under data protection laws and regulations, loss of intellectual property and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to prevent or respond to damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection.
The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. New laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and recent California legislation, pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase the costs and complexity of compliance, and adversely affect our business. As noted above, we are also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws. Additionally, if we acquire a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, we may incur significant liabilities and penalties as a result.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are subject to large fluctuations in response to any of the following:
|
• |
limited trading volume in our common stock; |
|
• |
quarterly variations in operating results; |
|
• |
general financial market conditions; |
|
• |
the prices of natural gas and oil; |
|
• |
announcements by us and our competitors; |
|
• |
our liquidity; |
|
• |
changes in government regulations; |
|
• |
our ability to raise additional funds; |
|
• |
our involvement in litigation; and |
|
• |
other events. |
23
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the near future.
We have not paid any dividends in the past and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors reviews this policy on a regular basis in light of our earnings, financial position and market opportunities. We currently intend to retain any earnings for the future operation and development of our business as well as potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities.
Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders.
The existence of some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make acquiring control of our company difficult, including:
|
• |
provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors; |
|
• |
provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders; |
|
• |
provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business combination transactions with related persons; and |
|
• |
the authorization given to our Board of Directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock. |
In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Company’s understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two assessments totaling approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Company has objected to these assessments on the grounds that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed appeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul both of these tax assessments following rulings against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council. In connection with those appeals, the Company deposited with the court a total amount of approximately $8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessments with penalties and interest. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the judicial court process is probable. Based upon this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
25
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, property damage and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future developments will not adversely impact the Company.
For a further description of the Company’s legal proceedings, see “Contingencies,” Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure
Not applicable.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "DRQ."
There were approximately 306 stockholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2019. This number includes the Company’s employees and directors that hold shares, but does not include the number of security holders for whom shares are held in a “nominee” or “street” name.
The Company has not paid any dividends in the past and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to reinvest any retained earnings for the future operation and development of its business, or to use for potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities. The Board of Directors will review this policy on a regular basis in light of the Company’s earnings, financial position, market opportunities and restrictions under the ABL Credit Facility.
Information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in "Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards," Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected aspects of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered drilling and production equipment that is well suited primarily for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Dril-Quip's products are used by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies and drilling contractors throughout the world. The Company’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, subsea control systems and manifolds, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, liner hangers, wellhead connectors, diverters and safety valves. Dril-Quip also provides technical advisory assistance on an as-requested basis during installation of its products, as well as rework and reconditioning services for customer-owned Dril-Quip products. In addition, Dril-Quip's customers may rent or purchase running tools from the Company for use in the installation and retrieval of the Company’s products.
Oil and Gas Prices
Both the market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.”
During 2019, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $74.94 per barrel, a low of $53.23 per barrel, and an average of $64.28 per barrel compared to an average of $71.34 per barrel in 2018 and $54.15 per barrel in 2017. According to the January 2020 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent crude oil prices are projected to average $64.83 per barrel in 2020 and $67.53 per barrel in 2021. The International Energy Agency projected the global oil demand to grow by approximately 1.2 million barrels per day to a total of 101.5 million barrels per day in 2020 based on its December 2019 Oil Market Report.
Rig Count
Detailed below is the average contracted offshore rig count (rigs currently drilling as well as rigs committed, but not yet drilling) for the Company’s geographic regions for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The rig count data includes floating rigs (semi-submersibles and drillships) and jack-up rigs. The Company has included only these types of rigs as they are the primary assets used to deploy the Company’s products.

Source: IHS—Petrodata RigBase— December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2019, there were 540 rigs contracted for the Company’s geographic regions (156 floating rigs and 384 jack-up rigs), which represents a 10.9% increase from the rig count of 487 rigs (146 floating rigs and 341 jack-up rigs) as of December 31, 2018. The December 31, 2018 rig count represented a 3.4% increase from the rig count on December 31, 2017 of 471 rigs (148 floating rigs and 323 jack-up rigs).
The Company believes that the number of rigs (semi-submersibles, drillships and jack-up rigs) under construction impacts its backlog and resulting revenues because in certain cases, its customers order some of the Company’s products during the construction of such rigs. As a result, an increase in rig construction activity tends to favorably impact the Company’s backlog while a decrease in rig construction activity tends to negatively impact the Company’s backlog. According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, at the end of 2019, 2018 and 2017, there were 72, 121, and 138 rigs, respectively, under construction.
The expected delivery dates for the rigs under construction on December 31, 2019 are as follows:

However, given the sustained low level of oil and gas prices and oversupply of offshore drilling rigs, the Company believes it is possible that delivery of some rigs under construction could be postponed or cancelled, limiting the opportunity for supply of the Company's products.
Regulation
The demand for the Company’s products and services is also affected by laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of new laws and regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations that curtail exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons, could adversely affect the Company’s operations by limiting demand for its products.
In March 2018, the President of the United States issued a proclamation imposing a 25 percent global tariff on imports of certain steel products, effective March 23, 2018. The President subsequently proposed an additional 25 percent tariff on approximately $50 billion worth of imports from China, and the government of China responded with a proposal of an additional 25 percent tariff on U.S. goods with a value of $50 billion. The initial U.S. tariffs were implemented on July 6, 2018, covering $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, with another $16 billion of goods facing tariffs beginning on August 23, 2018.
In September 2018, the President directed the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to place additional tariffs on approximately $200 billion worth of additional imports from China. These tariffs, which took effect on September 24, 2018, were initially set at a level of 10 percent until the end of the year, at which point the tariffs were to rise to 25 percent. However, on December 19, 2018, USTR postponed the date on which the rate of the additional duties would increase to 25 percent until March 2, 2019. On May 9, 2019, USTR announced that the United States increased the level of tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The President also ordered USTR to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion. On August 13, 2019 and August 23, 2019, USTR announced the imposition of an additional tariff of 15 percent on approximately $300 billion worth of Chinese imports, effective September 1, 2019 (or December 15, 2019 for certain articles). Following the conclusion of a phase one trade deal with China, USTR suspended the implementation of the 15 percent additional duty on approximately $160 billion worth of Chinese imports and reduced the applicable duty from 15 percent to 7.5 percent for $120 billion worth of Chinese imports. Negotiations for a phase two trade deal with China are currently underway and could lead to additional changes to the tariff rates described above.
In November 2018, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the successor agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Mexico and the United States have ratified the new agreement, but the USMCA still requires ratification by Canada before going into effect.
The imposition of any additional tariffs or initiation of trade restrictions by or against the United States or the failure by Canada to ratify the USMCA could cause our cost of raw materials to increase or affect the markets for our products. However, given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by the United States and other countries, their ultimate impact on our business and operations remains uncertain.
Business Environment
Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political, economic and other events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have resulted in a trend of customers seeking to renegotiate contract terms with the Company, including reductions in the prices of its products and services, extensions of delivery terms and, in some instances, contract cancellations or revisions. In some cases, a customer may already hold an inventory of the Company’s equipment, which may delay the placement of new orders. In addition, some of the Company’s customers could experience liquidity or solvency issues or could otherwise be unable or unwilling to perform under a contract, which could ultimately lead a customer to enter bankruptcy or otherwise encourage a customer to seek to repudiate, cancel or renegotiate a contract. An extended period of reduced crude oil and natural gas prices may accelerate these trends. If the Company experiences significant contract terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to its contracts, then its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
The Company expects continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. Lower drilling and production activity that had a negative impact on the Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2018 improved slightly in certain markets in 2019. A prolonged delay in the recovery of commodity prices could also lead to further material impairment charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
31
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. These risks include nationalization, expropriation, war, acts of terrorism and civil disturbance, restrictive action by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in foreign tax laws and change in currency exchange rates, any of which could have an adverse effect on either the Company’s ability to manufacture its products in its facilities abroad or the demand in certain regions for the Company’s products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Company’s international operations could have a material adverse effect on its overall operations.
Revenues . Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from three sources: products, services and leasing rental tools. Product revenues are derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance and rental tools during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. Additionally, the Company earns service revenues when rework and reconditioning services are provided. In 2019, the Company derived 73.1% of its revenues from the sale of its products, 17.4% of its revenues from services and 9.5% of its revenues from leasing rental tools, compared to 68.9%, 18.8% and 12.3% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2018, respectively, and 77.1%, 13.6% and 9.3% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2017, respectively. During 2019, we leased our forge facilities and equipment to AFGlobal Corporation, which also has an option to acquire those same assets. Service and leasing revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services during installation and rental of running tools. However, customer stocking and destocking can affect the correlation between demand for services and product sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 65.0% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2019, 61.0% in 2018 and 55.0% in 2017. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 35.0% of the Company’s total revenues in 2019, 39.0% in 2018 and 45.0% in 2017.
Product contracts are typically negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the customer as a condition of the sale of the Company’s products. The demand for products and services is generally based on worldwide economic conditions in the oil and gas industry, and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Company’s products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including global oil prices, competitive pricing pressure, the level of utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market conditions.
The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on an over time basis. During 2019, there were 36 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 20.5% of the Company’s total revenues and 28.0% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2018, there were 22 projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 16.0% of the Company’s total revenues and 23.0% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2017, there were eight projects that were accounted for using the over time method, which represented approximately 13.0% of the Company’s total revenues and 16.0% of the Company’s product revenues. These percentages may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete, which is used to determine the revenue earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated cost of sales. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of over time method of accounting.”
Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is influenced by the product mix sold in any particular period, costs from projects accounted for under the over time method, over/under manufacturing overhead absorption and market conditions. The Company’s costs related to its foreign operations do not significantly differ from its domestic costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with sales and marketing, general corporate overhead, business development expenses, compensation expense, stock-based compensation expense, legal expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other related administrative functions. The Company’s U.K. subsidiary, whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, conducts a portion of its operations in U.S. dollars. As a result, this subsidiary holds significant monetary assets denominated in U.S. dollars. These monetary assets are subject to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling, which has resulted in pre-tax non-cash foreign currency (gains) loss during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 totaling $(1.6) million, $(1.0) million and $8.3 million, respectively .
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product development and testing, as well as application engineering related to customized products.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. During 2019, we incurred approximately $4.4 million of expenses primarily associated with professional fees related to our strategic restructuring and approximately $1.1 million in severance payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the first quarter of 2019. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019.
32
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred impairment, restructuring and other charges consisting of certain goodwill, inventory, long-lived assets and other restructuring costs of $38.6 million, $32.1 million, $14.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the balance consisted of certain inventory and fixed asset write-downs of $27.4 million and $33.6 million, respectively. For more detail, see "Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges", Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and "Goodwill," Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for 2019 was $8.7 million on net income before taxes of $10.4 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 83.5%. Income tax benefit for 2018 was $19.3 million on net loss before taxes of $115.0 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 16.8%. Income tax expense in 2017 was $35.0 million on net loss before taxes of $65.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately negative 53.3%. The change in the 2019 effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by changes in valuation allowance positions against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various foreign countries, the mix of foreign income taxed at different statuory rates, non-taxable income, non-deductible expenses, foreign income inclusions and foreign tax credits.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018
Revenues. Revenues increased by $30.2 million, or approximately 7.8%, to $414.8 million in 2019 from $384.6 million in 2018. The overall increase in revenue was driven by increased product revenues of $38.3 million, partially offset by decreased service revenues of $0.4 million and leasing revenues of $7.7 million. Product revenues increased by approximately $38.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 as a result of increased revenues of $36.2 million in subsea equipment and $6.0 million in offshore rig equipment, partially offset by decreased revenues of $3.7 million and $0.2 million in downhole tools and surface equipment sales, respectively. Product revenues increased in Asia Pacific by $32.1 million and $14.4 million in the Eastern Hemisphere, partially offset by decreased revenues of $8.2 million in the Western Hemisphere. The overall increased revenues were largely due to increases in the demand for exploration and production equipment, especially subsea equipment, as a result of improving market conditions in 2019. In any given time period, the revenues recognized between the various product lines and geographic areas will vary depending upon the timing of shipments to customers, completion status of the projects accounted for under the over time method, market conditions and customer demand. Service revenues decreased by approximately $0.4 million, resulting from decreased service revenues in the Eastern Hemisphere of $1.2 million and in Asia Pacific of $0.9 million, partially offset by an increase in the Western Hemisphere of $1.7 million. The decreased service revenues were largely due to decreased technical advisory assistance and reconditioning of customer-owned property. Leasing revenues decreased by approximately $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 as a result of decreased rental tool leases of $3.3 million in Asia Pacific, $3.1 million in the Western Hemisphere and $1.3 million in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $1.4 million, or 0.5%, to $295.0 million for 2019 from $293.6 million for 2018. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was approximately 71.1% in 2019 and 76.3% in 2018. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased in 2019, primarily as a result of lower unabsorbed manufacturing costs and savings from our transformation initiatives including the leasing of our forge facilities, partially offset by product mix.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $4.3 million, or 4.3%, to $96.8 million from $101.1 million in 2018. Foreign exchange gain for the twelve months ended December 30, 2019 was $1.6 million as compared to a gain of $1.0 million for the same period in 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange gain, selling, general and administrative expense was $98.4 million and $102.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of $3.7 million is primarily due to continued progress in the Company’s transformation efforts, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense, annual merit increases, bonuses and partial restoration of prior salary rollbacks. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 23.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019 from 26.3% for the same period of 2018.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2019, engineering and product development expenses decreased by approximately $3.0 million, or 14.6%, to $17.3 million from $20.3 million in 2018. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 4.2% in 2019 from 5.3% in 2018, largely as a result of our transformation activities.
Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. During 2019, we incurred approximately $4.4 million of expenses primarily associated with professional fees related to our strategic restructuring and approximately $1.1 million in severance payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the first quarter of 2019. In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed as of December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. For further information, see "Goodwill," Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additionally, we incurred restructuring, long-lived asset impairments and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit). Income tax expense for 2019 was $8.7 million on income before taxes of $10.4 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 83.5%. Income tax benefit in 2018 was $19.3 million on a loss before taxes of $115.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 16.8%. The change in the effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by the change in valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various foreign countries, the mix of foreign income taxed at different statuory rates, an increase in non-taxable income, non-deductible expenses, foreign income inclusions and foreign tax credits.
Net Income (Loss). Net income was approximately $1.7 million in 2019, compared to a net loss of $95.7 million in 2018, for the reasons set forth above.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017
For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, see "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have performed a detailed analysis of the non-GAAP measures that are relevant to our business and its operations and determined that the appropriate unit of measure to analyze our performance is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and credits). The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges and credits from these financial measures enables it to evaluate more effectively the Company's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by excluded items. It is our determination that Adjusted EBITDA is a more relevant measure of how the Company reviews its ability to meet commitments and pursue capital projects.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as one of the indicators to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure and certain other items, including those that affect the comparability of operating results. This measurement is used in concert with operating income, its most directly comparable financial measure, and net cash from operating activities, which measures actual cash generated in the period. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measurement tool used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance, ability to pursue and service possible debt opportunities and analyze possible future capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for our discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income, are significant components of the consolidated statements of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies.
The following table reconciles our reported net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the respective periods:

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that are local currency functional exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are non-cash changes. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital expenditures to improve and expand facilities and manufacture additional running tools, (ii) to fund working capital and (iii) to fund the repurchase of the Company's shares. The Company’s principal source of funds is cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had availability of $33.4 million under the ABL Credit Facility. The Company may use its liquidity for, among other things, the support of the Company's research and development efforts, the funding of key projects and spending required by any upturn in the Company's business and the pursuit of possible acquisitions.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2019 decreased by approximately $30.8 million primarily due to decreases resulting from the change in non-operating assets and liabilities of $90.0 million and operating assets and liabilities of $38.2 million, partially offset by a decreased net loss of $97.4 million between 2019 and 2018. Decreases in the change in non-operating assets and liabilities of $90.0 million primarily related to decreases in impairment, restructuring and other non-cash charges of $98.4 million, partially offset by a lower gain on sale of equipment of $4.7 million and a change in deferred income taxes of $4.7 million. Decreases in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $38.2 million related to change in inventory of $64.0 million and change in trade receivables, net and unbilled receivables of $34.4 million, partially offset by change in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $34.1 million and change in prepaid and other assets of $26.1 million.
The change in trade receivables in 2019 was driven by increased activity both for point in time and over time projects. Revenues from over time projects increased by 40.0% in 2019. This higher activity also resulted in the Company having to build additional inventory and invest in a strategic stocking program for its subsea production system and its downhole tools business. This led to a growth in unbilled receivables of $57.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables, net of approximately $11.0 million. On the other hand, trade payables increased primarily as a result of continued negotiations with vendors on extending payment terms, which led to an increase of $19.6 million in 2019.
Net income changed by $97.4 million to $1.7 million in 2019 from a net loss of $95.7 million in 2018. Net loss decreased by $4.9 million to a net loss of $95.7 million in 2018 from net loss of $100.6 million in 2017. The reasons for the changes in net losses are set forth in the “Results of Operations” section above.
The change in operating assets and liabilities of $71.3 million during 2018 was offset by a decreased net loss of $4.9 million between 2018 and 2017 and increases in non-operating assets and liabilities of approximately $3.9 million. The decreases in the change in operating assets and liabilities primarily related to decreases in the change in contract assets and trade receivables of $38.0 million as a result of increased settlements with customers during 2018, prepaid and other assets of $25.2 million and trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $20.5 million, offset by increases in inventory of $12.3 million as a result of reductions in customer orders and efforts to utilize existing inventory and other costs of $0.3 million.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $6.7 million due to decreased capital expenditures related to facilities in the Western and Asia Pacific Hemispheres, partially offset by decreased proceeds related to sales of assets. Capital expenditures by the Company were $11.5 million, $32.1 million and $27.6 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2019, 2018 and 2017 included expanding worldwide manufacturing facilities as well as increased expenditures on machinery and equipment and running tools. Capital expenditures in 2019 included $3.0 million for facilities, machinery and equipment, $2.4 million for rental tools, and other expenditures of $6.1 million. Capital expenditures in 2019 were primarily related to the re-alignment of our facilities associated with the Company’s transformation initiatives. Capital expenditures in 2018 were primarily $14.0 million for facilities, $2.9 million for machinery and equipment, $12.6 million for rental tools and other expenditures of $2.6 million. Capital expenditures in 2017 were comprised of $15.7 million for facilities, $5.5 million for machinery and equipment, $5.6 million for rental tools and other expenditures of $0.8 million.
36
The Company acquired The Technologies Alliance Inc. d/b/a OilPatch Technologies (OPT) for approximately $19.9 million, net of cash and working capital adjustments, during the first quarter of 2017.
Repurchase of Equity Securities
On February 26, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase program has no set expiration date. Repurchases under the program will be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or plans, instructions or contracts established under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The manner, timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, liquidity and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company purchased 615,940 shares at an average price of $43.12 per share totaling approximately $26.6 million. All repurchased shares have been cancelled as of December 31, 2019. Refer to "Item 5 - Market for Registrant's Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" for further discussion.
On July 26, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company purchased, and subsequently cancelled, 1,991,206 shares for $100.0 million . The repurchase plan was completed on October 19, 2018. All repurchased shares have been cancelled as of December 31, 2018.
On February 26, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. As part of the repurchase plan, the Company repurchased 400,500 shares under this plan for a total of $24.2 million during 2017. All repurchased shares were subsequently cancelled.

In addition to the above, the Company has issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business for the purchase of goods and services. These purchase orders are enforceable and legally binding. However, none of the Company’s purchase obligations call for deliveries of goods or services for time periods in excess of one year.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations plus cash on hand will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months at current activity levels. However, if work activity increases, there could be a strain on working capital.
Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW Corporation and Honing, Inc., as guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million, including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
37
As of December 31, 2019, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $33.4 million, after taking into account the outstanding letters of credit of approximately $0.4 million issued under the facility. For additional information on the ABL Credit Facility, see "Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility," Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Backlog
Backlog typically consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, signed contract or letter of award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically, the Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time.
The Company believes that its backlog should help mitigate the impact of negative market conditions; however, slow recovery in the commodity prices or an extended downturn in the global economy or future restrictions on, or declines in, oil and gas exploration and production could have a negative impact on the Company and its backlog. The Company’s product backlog was approximately $272.5 million at December 31, 2019 and $270.0 million at December 31, 2018. The backlog at the end of 2019 represents an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or 1.0% from the end of 2018. The Company’s backlog balance during 2019 was negatively impacted by translation adjustments of approximately $0.5 million, due primarily to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and by approximately $61.0 million in cancellations. The Company’s backlog balance during 2018 was negatively impacted by translation adjustments of approximately $3.1 million, due primarily to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and by approximately $11.7 million in cancellations.
The following table represent the change in backlog.

(1) The backlog data shown above includes all bookings as of December 31, 2019, including contract awards and signed purchase orders for which the contracts would not be considered enforceable or qualify for the practical expedient under ASC 606. As a result, this table will not agree to the disclosed performance obligations of $109.8 million as of December 31, 2019, within "Revenue Recognition,” Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) As of December 31, 2019, approximately $3.8 million related to contract awards is included in our backlog.
During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser (TTR) systems and related services for the development of the CRD Project located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project was terminated in the third quarter of 2019 and is not included within the backlog balance as of December 31, 2019.
The Company expects to fill approximately 70% to 80% of the December 31, 2019 product backlog by December 31, 2020. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2019 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times.
In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. As part of an amendment to extend the term of the contract for an additional four years, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately $24.4 million (based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of December 31, 2019, Petrobras has issued purchase orders totaling that required minimum amount. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”

Geographic Segments
The Company’s operations are organized into three geographic segments—Western Hemisphere (including North and South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services, and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its regional headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil. Revenues for each of these segments are dependent upon the ultimate sale of products and services to the Company’s customers. For information on revenues by geographic segment, see "Geographic Segments," Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Currency Risk
The Company has operations in various countries around the world and conducts business in a number of different currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real. Our significant foreign subsidiaries may also have monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency. These monetary assets and liabilities are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates which may result in non-cash gains and losses primarily due to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and each subsidiary’s functional currency.
The Company generally attempts to minimize its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in local currency in amounts equal to the Company’s estimated operating costs payable in local currency and in U.S. dollars for the balance of the contracts. The Company had, net of income taxes, a transaction gain of $1.3 million in 2019, a transaction gain of $0.8 million in 2018 and a transaction loss of $12.7 million in 2017. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against such fluctuations in the future. The Company has put in place an active cash management process to convert excess foreign currency and concentrate this cash in certain of our holding company bank accounts to minimize foreign currency risk and increase investment income.
The Company conducts business in certain countries that limit repatriation of earnings. Further, there can be no assurance that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future. The Company also has significant investments in countries other than the United States, principally its manufacturing operations in Scotland, Singapore, Brazil and, to a lesser extent, Norway. The functional currency of these foreign operations is the local currency except for Singapore, where the U.S. dollar is used. Financial statement assets and liabilities in the functional currency are translated at the end of the period exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenues
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
|
• |
product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and |
|
• |
product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in time. |
Revenues recognized under the over time method
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
|
• |
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications; |
|
• |
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than six months in duration; |
|
• |
the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; |
|
• |
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and |
|
• |
the Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit margin. |
39
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables, net. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, unbilled receivables included $83.2 million and $57.0 million of unbilled receivables related to products accounted for using over time method of accounting, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were 36 projects representing approximately 20.5% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 28.0% of its product revenues, and 22 projects during 2018 representing approximately 16.0% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 23.0% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using over time method of accounting.
Revenues recognized under the point in time method
Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the over time method, are recorded at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the promised asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. This point in time recognition aligns with the time of shipment, which is when the Company typically has a present right to payment, title transfers to the customer, the customer or its carrier has physical possession and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company may provide product storage to some customers. Revenues for these products are recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer, the reason for storage is requested by the customer, the product is separately identified, the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer and the Company does not have the ability to use or direct the use of the product. This point in time typically occurs when the products are moved to storage. We receive payment after control of the products has transferred to the customer.
Service revenues
The Company recognizes service revenues from two sources:
|
• |
technical advisory assistance; and |
|
• |
rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products. |
The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel. The contracts for these services are typically considered day-to-day.
Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded using the over time method based on the remaining steps that need to be completed as the refurbishment process is performed. The measurement of progress considers, among other things, the time necessary for completion of each step in the reconditioning plan, the materials to be purchased, labor and ordering procedures. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly).
The Company earns lease revenues from the rental of running tools. Rental revenues are recognized within leasing revenues over the lease term.
Inventories. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost.
Inventory Reserves. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow moving and excess inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The Company determines the reserve percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for slow moving and excess inventories of $71.0 million and $108.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
40
Goodwill. For goodwill an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment annually on October 1 or when events occur or circumstances change that would trigger such a review. The impairment test entails an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We complete our annual impairment test for goodwill using an assessment date of October 1. In 2019, we performed an analysis of our goodwill and as a result of our qualitative assessment no impairment was recorded. In 2018, goodwill was reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Contingent Liabilities . The Company establishes reserves for estimated loss contingencies when the Company believes a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in net income in the period in which different or additional facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon the Company’s assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the outcome differ from the Company’s assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements, contracts or operations.
New Accounting Standards
The information set forth under Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption "New Accounting Standards" is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is currently exposed to certain market risks related to interest rate changes on its short-term investments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such transactions. There have been no material changes in market risks for the Company from December 31, 2018.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the United States dollar. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future. In periods where the dollar is strong as compared to other currencies, it is possible that foreign sales may reflect a decline in profits due to translation. It does not appear the Company’s sales have experienced significant profit declines. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Currency Risk” in Item 7 of this report.
The Company uses a sensitivity analysis model to measure the potential impact on revenue and net income of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar over the previous year. Based upon this model, a 10% decrease would have resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $13.8 million and a decrease in net income of approximately $3.2 million for 2019. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate decrease projected above will materialize as fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond the Company’s control.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
• |
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
|
• |
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
• |
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Management has designed its internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dril-Quip, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), of comprehensive income (loss), of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
44
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for Slow Moving and Excess Inventory
As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, management periodically performs obsolescence reviews on slow-moving and excess inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. Management determines the reserve percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory items by product type. The Company’s consolidated inventories, net balance was $205.1 million as of December 31, 2019, which is net of an allowance for slow moving and excess inventory of $71.0 million.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for slow moving and excess inventory is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the reserve percentages, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s significant assumptions, including the assumption that the historical inventory movements are indicative of future sales.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s inventory reserve assessment. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management in developing the reserve percentages by product type. Evaluating the reasonableness of the assumption that the historical inventory movements are indicative of future sales involved considering the consumption and use of inventory in previous periods, changes in market conditions, and current backlog levels and whether these were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation on the consolidated statements of income (loss), consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Reclassifications. As a result of our global business transformation, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as it related to product engineering and quality assurance cost. We reclassified approximately $19.1 million of engineering cost from our engineering and product development cost and approximately $2.9 million of quality assurance cost from selling, general and administrative to product cost of sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. We reclassified approximately $22.2 million of engineering cost from our engineering and product development cost and approximately $2.7 million of quality assurance cost from selling, general and administrative to product cost of sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. These reclassifications did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Company’s more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition and slow moving and excess inventories.
51
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company’s investment objectives continue to be the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
Trade Receivables
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to amounts estimated to be uncollectible. This estimate is based upon historical collection experience combined with a specific review of each customer’s outstanding trade receivable balance. The allowance estimate includes expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off in the valuation account. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance.
Inventories
Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost.
Inventory Reserves
Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow moving and excess inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The Company determines the reserve percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for slow moving and excess inventories of $71.0 million and $108.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. We capitalize costs incurred to enhance, improve and extend the useful lives of our property and equipment and expense costs incurred to repair and maintain the existing condition of our assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets
For goodwill and intangible assets, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment annually on October 1 or when events occur or circumstances change that would trigger such a review. The impairment test entails an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. In 2019, we performed an analysis of our goodwill and as a result of our qualitative assessment no impairment was recorded. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, an impairment charge is recognized by reflecting the asset at its fair value. We review the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets based upon estimated future cash flows while taking into consideration assumptions and estimates, including the future use of the asset, remaining useful life of the asset and service potential of the asset. Additionally, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
52
Restructuring costs and other charges
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, combined with the impact of decreased capital expenditure budgets within the industry driven by sustained low oil prices, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. During 2019, we incurred approximately $4.4 million of expenses primarily associated with professional fees related to our strategic restructuring and approximately $1.1 million in severance payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the first quarter of 2019. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2019 and approximately $7.3 million of costs related to employee termination benefits were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, in 2018, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of expected changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. In 2018, there were other charges incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 8, “Goodwill.”
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts that are expected more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income taxes in its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenues
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
|
• |
product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and |
|
• |
product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in time. |
Revenues recognized under the over time method
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
|
• |
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications; |
|
• |
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration; |
|
• |
the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; |
|
• |
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and |
|
• |
The Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit margin. |
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, unbilled receivables included $83.2 million and $57.0 million of unbilled receivables related to products accounted for using over time method of accounting, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were 36 projects representing approximately 20.5% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 28.0% of its product revenues, and 22 projects during 2018
53
representing approximately 16.0% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 23.0% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using over time method of accounting.
Revenues recognized under the point in time method
Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the over time method, are recorded at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the promised asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. This point in time recognition aligns with the time of shipment, which is when the Company typically has a present right to payment, title transfers to the customer, the customer or its carrier has physical possession and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company may provide product storage to some customers. Revenues for these products are recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer, the reason for storage is requested by the customer, the product is separately identified, the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer and the Company does not have the ability to use or direct the use of the product. This point in time typically occurs when the products are moved to storage. We receive payment after control of the products has transferred to the customer.
Service revenues
The Company recognizes service revenues from two sources:
|
• |
technical advisory assistance; and |
|
• |
rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products. |
The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel. The contracts for these services are typically considered day-to-day.
Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded using the over time method based on the remaining steps that need to be completed as the refurbishment process is performed. The measurement of progress considers, among other things, the time necessary for completion of each step in the reconditioning plan, the materials to be purchased, labor and ordering procedures. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly).
Lease revenues
The Company earns lease revenues from the rental of running tools. Rental revenues are recognized within leasing revenues on a over the lease term.
Practical Expedients
As permitted under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, allows companies to carry forward their historical lease classification.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and have no effect on current earnings or cash flows.
Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. The Company had, net of income taxes, a transaction gain of $1.3 million in 2019, a transaction gain of $0.8 million in 2018 and a transaction loss of $12.7 million in 2017. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a pre-tax basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit
54
evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses, and actual losses have historically been within management’s expectations.
In addition, the Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. Changes in the financial markets and interest rates could affect the interest earned on short-term investments.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method.
3. New Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” Topic 740 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions such as the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments, the exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary and the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of this guidance on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-10 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This update also amends the mandatory effective date for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test (Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-.04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. These amendments align the mandatory effective dates for goodwill with those for Credit Losses. The adoption of ASU 2019-10 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The new standard clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities and financial instruments (addressed by ASUs 2016-13, 2017-12, and 2016-01, respectively). The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We early adopted as of October 1, 2019, and the result of adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets (right of use) and lease obligations (lease liability) for leases previously classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Please see Note 10, “Leases and Lease Commitments,” for a discussion of the impact related to the adoption of this standard
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606 and all the related amendments (the "new revenue standard”) for contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application using the modified retrospective method.
We recognized the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for $1.7 million . Therefore, the comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
A majority of the Company's revenues are not subject to the new revenue standard. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.6 million in our results from operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. A majority of our product revenues continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities.

Contract asset receivables were $136.3 million and $83.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Contract assets include unbilled accounts receivable associated with contracts accounted for under the over time accounting method which were approximately $83.2 million and $57.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Unbilled contract assets are transferred to the trade receivables, net, when the rights become unconditional. The contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments from customers.
Obligations for returns and refunds were considered immaterial as of December 31, 2019.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations from our over time product lines was $111.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 65.8% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and the remaining 34.2% thereafter.
The Company applies the practical expedient available under the new revenue standard and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

7. Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring Charges
During 2019, we incurred approximately $4.4 million of expenses primarily associated with professional fees related to our strategic restructuring and approximately $1.1 million in severance payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the first quarter of 2019.
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, including lower commodity prices, the decline in expected offshore rig counts, decreases in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects, as well as the decline in our stock price in December 2018 which resulted in our market capitalization decreasing to below the carrying value of our assets, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2017.
2019 Impairment Charge
There were no impairment of goodwill, inventory or long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2019.
2018 Impairment Charge
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 8, “Goodwill.”
2017 Impairment of Inventory and Long-lived Assets
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets.
57
8. Goodwill
We recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, as discussed below. There was no impairment of goodwill during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

At October 1, 2019, the Company performed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units. The impairment test entailed an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. As a result of our assessment no goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019.
At October 1, 2018, the Company performed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units and concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on goodwill include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market conditions, such as commodity prices; operating cost factors; overall financial performance; the impact of dispositions and acquisitions; and other entity-specific events. Further declines in commodity prices or sustained lower valuation for the Company's common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to an impairment of reporting unit goodwill.
The fair values were determined using the net present value of the expected future cash flows for each reporting unit. During the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determined the fair value of each of its reporting units as a whole using discounted cash flow analysis, which requires significant assumptions and estimates about the future operations of each reporting unit. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our revised strategic budget for 2019 and for future periods, and management’s beliefs about future activity levels. The discount rates we used for future periods could change substantially if the cost of debt or equity were to significantly increase or decrease, or if we were to choose different comparable companies in determining the appropriate discount rates for our reporting units. Forecasted cash flows in future periods were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered long-term earnings growth rates.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. An interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71% . Further declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional impairment charges associated with goodwill. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. As a result, we determined that the trademark asset is no longer indefinite lived and determined a 15 -year useful life to be appropriate based on our current market forecast.
Amortization expense was $2.9 million for each of the years 2019, 2018 and 2017. Based on the carrying value of intangible assets at December 31, 2019, amortization expense for the subsequent five years is estimated to be as follows: 2020 — $3.0 million; 2021 — $2.9 million; 2022 — $2.9 million ; and 2023 — $2.8 million; 2024 — $2.6 million.
10. Leases and Lease Commitments
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and elected the package of practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of ASC 842, as of January 1, 2019, was approximately $5.5 million to our assets, approximately $1.6 million to our current liability and approximately $3.9 million to our long-term liability.
Under the transition method selected by the Company, leases expiring at, or entered into after, January 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company's historical accounting under ASC 840. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity or Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). Short-term leases have not been recorded on the balance sheet.
We lease facilities related to sales and service, manufacturing, reconditioning, certain office spaces, apartments and warehouse, all of which we classify as operating leases. In addition, we also lease certain office equipment and vehicles, which we classify as financing leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; short-term lease expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $2.1 million.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term on a monthly, annual or longer basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised.
Certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, the Company has assessed whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In making this determination, the Company considered taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The Company has a three-year cumulative loss at December 31, 2019 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 of $34.5 million against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (US Tax Reform). US Tax Reform eliminated the deferral of U.S. income tax on the historical unrepatriated earnings by imposing a transition tax, which is a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings. Certain undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided thereon. The estimate of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries amounted to $535 million as of December 31, 2019. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both income taxes and withholding taxes payable. Determination of the amount of the potential tax liability on repatriation is not practicable at this time because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits would be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability.
US Tax Reform subjects a US shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI). We have elected to account for GILTI in the year that the tax is incurred as a period expense.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized with respect to any tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company had an uncertain tax position of $18.7 million at December 31, 2019 due to uncertainty in tax positions taken in the U.S. and certain foreign tax jurisdictions. The tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are the years ended December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2019.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions is as follows:

The amounts above exclude accrued interest and penalties of $1.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.6 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively. The Company classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions within Tax expense(benefit) in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
It is reasonably possible that the Company's existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the year ending December 31, 2019, primarily due to the progression of any audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation. However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential changes in its existing liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits due to various uncertainties, such as the unresolved nature of any possible audits. As of December 31, 2019, if recognized, $7.3 million of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
The Company received a net income tax refund of $10.9 million in 2019 and paid $3.8 million and $8.4 million in income taxes in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

13. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a defined-contribution (cash balance) 401(k) plan covering domestic employees and a defined-contribution pension plan covering certain foreign employees. The Company generally makes contributions to the plans equal to each participant’s eligible contributions for the plan year up to a specified percentage of the participant’s annual compensation. The Company’s contribution expense under these plans was $4.1 million, $4.1 million and $4.3 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
14. Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW and Honing, Inc., as guarantors, entered into a five -year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million, including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company, TIW, Honing, Inc., and future significant domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s personal property, and bear interest at the Company’s option at either (i) the CB Floating Rate (as defined therein), calculated as the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, with such CB Floating Rate not being less than Adjusted One Month LIBOR (as defined therein) or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR (as defined therein), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for CBFR loans and 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. Interest on Eurodollar loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on CB Floating Rate loans is payable monthly in arrears.
The ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The ABL Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein) to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the ABL Credit Facility is under certain levels. If the Company fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the commitments under the ABL Credit Facility could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The ABL Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to the Company’s other indebtedness. The Company is in compliance with the related covenants as of December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2019, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $33.4 million, after taking into account the outstanding letters of credit of approximately $0.4 million issued under the facility.

15. Contingencies
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Company’s understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two assessments totaling approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Company has objected to these assessments on the grounds that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed appeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul both of these tax assessments following rulings against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council. In connection with those appeals, the Company deposited with the court a total amount of approximately $8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessments with penalties and interest. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the judicial court process is probable. Based upon this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, certain of the Company's products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future developments will not adversely impact the Company.
The Company is also involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In 2019, BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2018, BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2017, Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% of the Company’s total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2019, 2018 or 2017.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company pursued a restructuring of its entities to prepare it for potential increased activity in international markets. The main focus of the restructuring was to consolidate excess foreign cash held offshore and create an internal financing capability. The excess foreign cash is now held in a treasury concentration center in the Eastern Hemisphere where it is invested when not required to fund international operations. When required, these funds can be easily deployed to meet the working capital requirements of foreign operations. This structure was put in place as the Company expects that when the market rebounds, future work will come from international markets, especially Europe and Asia Pacific.
The Company’s operations are organized into three geographic segments—Western Hemisphere (including North and South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services, and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its regional headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil.
Eliminations of operating profits are related to intercompany inventory transfers that are deferred until shipment is made to third party customers.
17. Stock Repurchase Plan
On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase plan has no set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company purchased 615,940 shares at an average price of $43.12 under the share repurchase plan for approximately $26.6 million. Refer to Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion.
On July 26, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company purchased 1,991,206 shares under the share repurchase plan for approximately $100 million. The repurchase plan was completed on October 19, 2018. All repurchased shares have been cancelled as of December 31, 2018. Refer to Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Stock, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion.
18. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards
On May 13, 2004, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2004 Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (as amended in 2012 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 10, 2012, the “2004 Plan”), which reserved up to 2,696,294 shares of common stock for awards under the 2004 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 2004 Plan are employees holding positions of responsibility with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors.
68
On May 12, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “2017 Plan”), which reserved up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock to be used for awards under the 2017 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 2017 Plan are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors.
Stock Options
Options granted under the 2004 Plan have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-fourth of the total number of shares of common stock subject thereto, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. No stock options have been granted under the 2017 Plan.
The fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life was based on the Company’s historical trends, and volatility is based on the historical volatility over the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date. The Company does not pay dividends and, therefore, there is no assumed dividend yield.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $0.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The income tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $38,342, $157,442 and $153,759 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were 184,692 anti-dilutive stock option shares on December 31, 2019.
Stock-based compensation is recognized as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, there was no stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards and no stock-based compensation expense was capitalized during 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Options granted to employees vest over four years and the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. At December 31, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options as all outstanding options were fully vested.
Restricted Stock Awards
On October 28, 2019 and 2018, pursuant to the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan, the Company awarded officers, directors and key employees restricted stock awards (RSAs), which is an award of common stock subject to time vesting. The awards issued under both the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan are restricted as to transference, sale and other disposition. These RSAs vest ratably over a three -year period. The RSAs may also vest in the event of a change of control. Upon termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, the RSAs that have not vested will be returned to the Company resulting in stock forfeitures. The fair market value of the stock on the date of grant is amortized and charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the stipulated time period over which the RSAs vest on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures.

There were 45,857 anti-dilutive restricted shares on December 31, 2019.
Performance Unit Awards
On October 28, 2019 and 2018, pursuant to the 2017 Plan and the 2004 Plan, the Company awarded performance unit awards (Performance Units) to officers and key employees. The Performance Units were valued on a per unit basis based on a Monte Carlo simulation at $48.47 for the 2019 grants, $54.62 for the 2018 grants, and $54.64 for the 2017 grants, approximately 108.9%, 126.8% and 131.7% , respectively, of the grant date share price. Under the terms of the Performance Units, participants may earn from 0% to 200% of their target award based upon the Company’s relative total share return (TSR) in comparison to the 15 component companies of the Philadelphia Oil Service Index.
The TSR is calculated over a three -year period from October 1, 2019 and 2018 to September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and assumes reinvestment of dividends for companies within the index that pay dividends, which Dril-Quip does not.

Exhibit 4.2
DRIL-QUIP, INC.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The common stock of Dril-Quip, Inc. (“we,” “us” and “our”) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “DRQ.” Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
The following summary of the material terms of our capital stock, Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “certificate of incorporation”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “bylaws”) does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
Common Stock
Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters on which holders are permitted to vote, including the election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the total votes entitled to vote in an election of directors will be able to elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of the common stock will share equally on a per share basis any dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If we are liquidated, dissolved or wound up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to a ratable share of any distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of all of our liabilities and of the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and terms of each such series. The board may determine the designation and other terms of each series, including the following:
|
• |
dividend rates; |
|
• |
whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative; |
|
• |
redemption rights; |
|
• |
liquidation rights; |
|
• |
sinking fund provisions; |
|
• |
conversion or exchange rights; and |
|
• |
voting rights. |
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other transactions, could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. It could also affect the likelihood that holders of our common stock will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company. For example, if, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interest of our stockholders, the board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock containing class voting rights that would enable the holder or holders of this series to prevent a change of control transaction or make it more difficult. Alternatively, a change of control transaction deemed by the board to be in the best interest of our stockholders could be facilitated by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, as described below, could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from acquiring or seeking to acquire control of us. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. However, these provisions may also delay, deter or prevent a change in control or other takeover of Dril-Quip, Inc. that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock and also may limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for our common stock. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this increased protection outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our board of directors must consist of between three and 12 directors. The exact number of directors is fixed from time to time by resolution of the board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with only one class being elected each year by our stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This system of electing and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors. In addition, no director may be removed except for cause, and directors may be removed for cause only by the affirmative vote of shares representing a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors and any newly created directorship may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office.
Stockholder Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, the chief executive officer, the president or the board pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of directors.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of our company must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
2
Amendment of Bylaws
Our bylaws may generally be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by:
|
• |
the board, subject to the right of stockholders to amend or repeal such bylaws; or |
|
• |
the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting if notice of the proposed amendment is contained in the notice of the special meeting. |
Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions
Our bylaws also impose some procedural requirements on stockholders who wish to:
|
• |
make nominations in the election of directors; |
|
• |
propose that a director be removed; |
|
• |
propose any repeal or change in our bylaws; or |
|
• |
propose any other business to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. |
Under these procedural requirements, in order to bring a proposal before a meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must deliver timely notice of a proposal pertaining to a proper subject for presentation at the meeting to our corporate secretary along with the information required under our bylaws, including the following:
|
• |
a description of the business or nomination to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, together with the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolution proposed for consideration) |
|
• |
the proposing stockholder’s name and address and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; |
|
• |
the names and addresses of any other stockholder known by such stockholder to be supporting the proposal; |
|
• |
any Disclosable Interests (as defined in our bylaws) of such stockholder or such beneficial owner, if any, or any proposed nominee; |
|
• |
any financial interest or other material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in the proposal; |
|
• |
a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed business before the meeting; and |
|
• |
a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with such proposal by such stockholder. |
A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must generally be delivered to, or mailed and received at, our principal executive offices:
3
|
• |
in connection with the election of a director at a special meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed to the stockholders or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever occurs first. |
In order to submit a nomination for our board of directors, a stockholder must also submit any information with respect to the nominee that we would be required to include in a proxy statement, as well as some other information. If a stockholder fails to follow the required procedures, the stockholder’s proposal or nominee will be ineligible and will not be voted on by our stockholders.
Limitation on Liability of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed for the following:
|
• |
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; |
|
• |
any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
|
• |
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and |
|
• |
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify any officer or director of our company against all damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision when we receive an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by us. Amending this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.
Transactions and Corporate Opportunities
In order to approve certain transactions involving related persons, our certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (1) not less than 80% of the then outstanding voting stock held by stockholders voting together as a single class and (2) not less than 66 2/3% of the then outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the related person. These transactions include:
|
• |
any merger, consolidation or share exchange of us or any of our subsidiaries with (1) any related person or (2) any other person who is, or after such merger, consolidation, or share exchange would be, directly or indirectly an affiliate of the related person; |
4
|
• |
any issuance or transfer by us or any of our subsidiaries of any of our securities or any of our subsidiaries’ securities to any related person or an affiliate of a related person (subject to certain exceptions); |
|
• |
any dissolution voluntarily caused or proposed by or on behalf of a related person or an affiliate of a related person; |
|
• |
any reclassification of securities or recapitalization of us, or any merger, consolidation or share exchange of us with any of our subsidiaries or any other transaction that has the effect, either directly or indirectly, of increasing by more than 1% the proportionate share of the outstanding stock of any class or series or the securities convertible into stock of any class or series of us or any of our subsidiaries that is directly or indirectly owned by any related person or an affiliate of a related person or otherwise increasing the voting power of the outstanding stock of us or any of our subsidiaries that is held by any such related person or affiliate; |
|
• |
any series or combination of transactions having, directly or indirectly, the same effect as any of the foregoing; or |
|
• |
any agreement, contract, or other arrangement providing, directly or indirectly, for any of the foregoing transactions mentioned above. |
A related person is a person or entity who or which (1) is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the aggregate voting power of all of our outstanding stock; (2) is one of our affiliates and at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the aggregate voting power of all of our outstanding stock; or (3) is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to any shares of our stock that were at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question beneficially owned by any related person, if such assignment or succession shall have occurred in the course of a privately negotiated transaction rather than an open market transaction.
These voting requirements do not apply, however, to a business combination if:
|
• |
the cash, property, securities or other consideration to be received per share by holders of each and every outstanding class or series of our shares in the business combination meets certain requirements; or |
|
• |
a majority of the continuing directors shall have approved the business combination. |
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law
We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 provides that we may not engage in a broad range of “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that the person became an interested stockholder unless:
|
• |
prior to the time that person became an interested stockholder, our board of directors had approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder; |
5
|
officers and shares owned in employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
|
• |
at or subsequent to the time that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, consolidation, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock. Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors.
Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
