FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Frank’s International N.V. ("FINV"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, is a global provider of highly engineered tubular services, tubular fabrication and specialty well construction and well intervention solutions to the oil and gas industry. FINV provides services to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of FINV for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include the activities of Frank's International C.V. ("FICV") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 is derived from audited financial statements. However, certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 24, 2017 ("Annual Report"). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and GAAP for interim financial reporting, reflect all adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring adjustments that were necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the United States dollar as the reporting currency. Our functional currency is primarily the United States dollar.

Reclassifications

Historically, and through December 31, 2016, certain direct and indirect costs related to operations and manufacturing were classified and reported as general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). The historical classification was consistent with the information used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess performance of the Company’s segments and make resource allocation decisions, and the classification of such costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations was aligned with the segment presentation. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company changed the classification of certain of these costs in its segment reporting disclosures and within the condensed consolidated statements of operations to reflect a change in the presentation of the information used by the Company’s CODM.

This reclassification of costs between cost of revenue and G&A has no net impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations or to total segment reporting. The change will better reflect the CODM's philosophy on assessing performance and allocating resources, as well as improve comparability to the Company's peer group. This is a change in costs classification and has been reflected retrospectively for all periods presented.

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Significant Accounting Policies

Short‑term investments

Short‑term investments consist of commercial paper. These investments have original maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months. They are classified as held-to-maturity investments, which are recorded at amortized cost.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of accounting standards updates ("ASUs") to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and were either determined to be not applicable or are expected to have immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify and reduce both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when accounting for a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. The new standard will be applied prospectively, and is effective for public companies for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted the provisions of this new accounting guidance for the Company's annual goodwill impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for business combinations clarifying the definition of a business. The objective of the guidance is to help companies and other organizations which have acquired or sold a business to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance.

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In October 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The objective of the guidance is to eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences at the time of transfer rather than when the asset is sold to a third party. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The objective of the guidance is to reduce the existing diversity in practice related to the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues including but not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and is retrospective for all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted including for interim periods. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance includes the replacement of the “incurred loss” approach for recognizing credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses, which considers historical and current information as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance on equity compensation, which simplifies the accounting for the taxes related to equity-based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a company's payments for tax withholdings should be classified. The ASU also gives an option to recognize actual forfeitures when they occur and clarifies the statement of cash flow presentation for certain components of share-based awards. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and have elected to recognize actual forfeitures when they occur. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance for leases. The main objective of the accounting guidance is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous GAAP and the new guidance is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and further defines a lease as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct the use of the asset. The accounting guidance requires disclosures by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

In July 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. Under this guidance, inventory will be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Options that currently exist for market value will be eliminated. The guidance defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. No other changes were made to the current guidance on inventory measurement. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance on the recognition of revenue based upon the entity’s contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for several transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, including additional disclosures of the standard’s application impact to individual financial statement line items. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after that date.

We are currently determining the impacts of the new standard on our contract portfolio. Our implementation efforts to date include the identification of revenue streams with similar contract structures, performing a detailed review of key contracts by revenue stream and comparing historical policies and practices to the new standard. Our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements is ongoing and we continue to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the standard on timing of recognition for various revenues. While we are continuing to perform our analysis, at the present time, we anticipate the adoption of the new standard will have an immaterial impact on revenues from contracts for equipment rentals and services. However, revenues from product sales with bill-and-hold arrangements may be accelerated once we adopt the new standard. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.

Note 2—Noncontrolling Interest

We hold an economic interest in FICV and are responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to FICV’s business. Effective with the August 2016 conversion of all of Mosing Holdings' Preferred Stock, Mosing Holdings transferred all its interest in FICV to us and the noncontrolling interest associated with Mosing Holdings was eliminated.

Historically we recorded a noncontrolling interest on our condensed consolidated balance sheet with respect to the remaining economic interest in FICV held by Mosing Holdings. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest on the statements of operations represented the portion of earnings or losses attributable to the economic interest in FICV held by Mosing Holdings. The allocable domestic loss from FICV to FINV was subject to U.S. taxation.

Credit Facility

We have a $100.0 million revolving credit facility with certain financial institutions, including up to $20.0 million in letters of credit and up to $10.0 million in swingline loans, which matures in August 2018 (the “Credit Facility”). Subject to the terms of the Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $150.0 million . At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had $2.8 million and $3.7 million , respectively, in letters of credit outstanding and no outstanding borrowings under this facility. As of September 30, 2017, our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility has been reduced to approximately $30 million as a result of our decreased Adjusted EBITDA. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be further reduced or eliminated depending on our future Adjusted EBITDA. As a result of this, our overall liquidity would be diminished.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either a base rate or an adjusted Eurodollar rate. Base rate loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% , plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% , subject to adjustment based on a leverage ratio. Interest is in each case payable quarterly for base-rate loans. Eurodollar loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at an adjusted Eurodollar rate equal to the Eurodollar rate for such interest period multiplied by the statutory reserves, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% . Interest is payable at the end of applicable interest periods for Eurodollar loans, except that if the interest period for a Eurodollar loan is longer than three months , interest is paid at

the end of each three -month period. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on certain leverage ratios.

The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, enter into mergers or acquisitions, enter into hedging transactions, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions, incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain asset dispositions.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, among other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain: (i) a ratio of total consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.5 to 1.0 and (ii) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

In addition, the Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make required payments, the failure to comply with certain covenants or other agreements, breach of the representations and covenants contained in the agreements, default of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and the occurrence of a change in control.

On April 28, 2017, the Company obtained a limited waiver under its Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 14, 2013, by and among FICV (as borrower), Amegy Bank National Association (as administrative agent), Capital One, National Association (as syndication agent) and the other lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"), of its leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (the “Waiver”) in order to not be in default for first quarter of 2017 testing. The Company agreed to comply with the following conditions during the period from the effective date of the Waiver until the delivery of its compliance certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017: (i) maintain no less than $250.0 million in liquidity; (ii) abide by certain restrictions regarding the issuance of senior unsecured debt; and (iii) pay interest and commitment fees based on the highest “Applicable Margin” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) level. In connection with the Waiver, the Company paid a waiver fee to each lender that executed the Waiver equal to five basis points of the respective lender’s commitment under the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants included in the Credit Agreement.

Citibank Credit Facility

In 2016, we entered into a three -year credit facility with Citibank N.A., UAE Branch in the amount of $6.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and guarantees. The credit facility also allows for open ended guarantees. Outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest of 1.25% per annum for amounts outstanding up to one year. Amounts outstanding more than one year bear interest at 1.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had $2.5 million and $2.2 million , respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

Our derivative financial instruments consist of short-duration foreign currency forward contracts. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is based on quoted market values including foreign exchange forward rates and interest rates. The fair value is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value. Derivative financial instruments are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accounts receivable, net and accrued and other current liabilities at September 30, 2017 and in accounts receivable, net, at December 31, 2016 .

Our investments associated with our deferred compensation plan consist primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our investments change as a result of contributions, payments, and fluctuations in the market. Assets and liabilities, measured using significant observable inputs, are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements, which are derived from the fair value of the funds' underlying investments. We also have marketable securities in publicly traded equity securities as an indirect result of strategic investments. They are reported at fair value based on the price of the stock and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

We apply the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to our non-recurring, non-financial measurements including business combinations as well as impairment related to goodwill and other long-lived assets. For business combinations (see Note 3 - Acquisition and Divestitures), the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a discounted cash flow model for most intangibles as well as market assumptions for the valuation of equipment and other fixed assets. We utilize a discounted cash flow model in evaluating impairment

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

considerations related to goodwill and long-lived assets. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the discounted cash flow models are deemed to use Level 3 inputs.

Other Fair Value Considerations

The carrying values on our condensed consolidated balance sheet of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and lines of credit approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

Note 11— Derivatives

We enter into short-duration foreign currency forward derivative contracts to reduce the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. We use these instruments to mitigate our exposure to non-local currency operating working capital. We record these contracts at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although the derivative contracts will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments during a period will be included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The majority of these lease obligations expire in 2018 and, at our discretion, may be extended for an additional 36 months subject to agreement on pricing of the extension. These leases may be extended or allowed to expire by us depending on operational needs, market prices and the ability for us to negotiate and secure, at our discretion, alternative leases or replacement locations. Rent expense associated with our related party leases was $1.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , and $5.3 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

In certain cases, we have made improvements to properties subject to related party leases referenced above, including the construction of buildings. As of September 30, 2017 , the net book value associated with buildings we constructed on properties subject to related party leases was $62.7 million . We are depreciating the costs associated with these buildings over their estimated useful lives of approximately 39 years, which exceeds the remaining lease terms that primarily expire in 2018. Upon expiration of the leases, leasehold improvements could be construed as becoming the property of the related party lessors. As of September 30, 2017 , the net book value associated with leasehold and land improvements we constructed on properties subject to related party leases was $13.4 million , a portion of which is in construction in progress. It is our intent to extend, renew, or replace the related party property leases such that we have unrestricted use of the buildings and improvements throughout their estimated useful lives. Extension, renewal or replacement of the related party property leases is dependent on negotiations with related parties, the failure of which could result in material disputes with the related parties. In the event we do not extend, renew, or

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

replace these related party property leases, we will revise the remaining estimated useful lives of the buildings accordingly.

We are a party to certain agreements relating to the rental of aircraft to Western Airways ("WA"), an entity owned by the Mosing family. The WA agreements reflect both dry lease and wet lease rental, whereby we are charged a flat monthly fee primarily for crew, hangar, maintenance and administration costs in addition to other variable costs for fuel and maintenance. We also earn charter income from third party usage through a revenue sharing agreement. We recorded $0.4 million and $0.3 million of net charter expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.8 million of net charter expense for nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Mosing Holdings and its permitted transferees converted all their Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock on a one -for-one basis on August 26, 2016, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions, by delivery of an equivalent portion of their interests in FICV to us (the “Conversion”). FICV will make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the Section 754 election, the Conversion will result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of FICV with respect to the portion of FICV now held by FINV. These adjustments will be allocated to FINV. The adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of FICV described above would not have been available absent this Conversion. The basis adjustments may reduce the amount of tax that FINV would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These basis adjustments may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

The tax receivable agreement (the "TRA") that we entered into with FICV and Mosing Holdings in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO") generally provides for the payment by FINV of 85% of the amount of the actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax (which reductions we refer to as “cash savings”) in periods after our IPO as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the Conversion and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for payment by us of interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the TRA. The payments under the TRA will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either FICV or FINV. We will retain the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any.

The estimation of the liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2017 , FINV has a cumulative loss over the prior 36 -month period. Based on this history of losses, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of future taxable income, we are no longer able to conclude that there will be future cash savings that will lead to additional payouts under the TRA beyond the estimated $2.1 million as of September 30, 2017 that represents 85% of the cash tax savings estimated to be realized in the 2016 federal income tax return of FINV. Additional TRA liability may be recognized in the future based on changes in expectations regarding the timing and likelihood of future cash savings.

The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and are not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless FINV elects to exercise its sole right to terminate the TRA early. If FINV elects to terminate the TRA early, which it may do so in its sole discretion, it would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future benefits. In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control. In these situations, FINV’s obligations under the TRA could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

of control. For example, if the TRA were terminated on September 30, 2017 , the estimated termination payment would be approximately $ 102.0 million (calculated using a discount rate of 5.63% ). The foregoing number is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially.

Because FINV is a holding company with no operations of its own, its ability to make payments under the TRA is dependent on the ability of FICV to make distributions to it in an amount sufficient to cover FINV’s obligations under such agreements; this ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of FICV’s subsidiaries to provide payments to it. The ability of FICV and its subsidiaries to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, the applicable provisions of Dutch law that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and restrictions in our debt instruments. To the extent that FINV is unable to make payments under the TRA for any reason, except in the case of an acceleration of payments thereunder occurring in connection with an early termination of the TRA or certain mergers or change of control, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, and FINV will be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.

Note 13 - Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is determined by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.

We apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average common shares represented by the unvested restricted stock units and ESPP shares. Through August 26, 2016, the date of the conversion of all of Mosing Holdings' Preferred Stock and Mosing Holdings' transfer of interest in FICV to us, the diluted income (loss) per share calculation assumed the conversion of 100% of our outstanding Preferred Stock on an as if converted basis. Accordingly, the numerator was also adjusted to include the earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest after taking into account the tax effect of such exchange.

Note 14—Income Taxes

For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual tax rate based on projected pre-tax income (loss) for the full year and record a quarterly income tax provision (benefit) in accordance with accounting guidance for income taxes. As the year progresses, we refine the estimate of the year's pre-tax income (loss) as new information becomes available. The continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust the income tax provision (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual tax rate.

Our effective tax rate on income (loss) before income taxes was 97.4% and 13.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and 327.7% and 14.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The higher rate is due primarily to recording valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, outside basis differences in our partnership investment and other timing differences primarily associated with our U.S. operations.

In determining that a valuation allowance must be recorded in the current period, we assessed the available positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is not more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income would be generated to permit the use of our deferred tax assets. This conclusion is primarily the result of cumulative losses incurred in the most recent three year period, and uncertainty regarding when we will return to profitability. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable and the related need for a valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods as the available evidence changes.

As of September 30, 2017 , there were no significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits as reported in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies

We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. We had no material accruals for loss contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . We believe the probability is remote that the ultimate outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are conducting an internal investigation of the operations of certain of our foreign subsidiaries in West Africa including possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our extensive internal review to the SEC, the United States Department of Justice and other governmental entities. It is our intent to fully cooperate with these agencies and any other applicable authorities in connection with any further investigation that may be conducted in connection with this matter. While our review has not indicated that there has been any material impact on our previously filed financial statements, we have continued to collect information and cooperate with the authorities, but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies. In addition, during the course of the investigation, we discovered historical business transactions (and bids to enter into business transactions) in certain countries that may have been subject to U.S. and other international sanctions. We have disclosed this information to various governmental entities (including those involved in our ongoing investigation), but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies, including any financial impact to us.

Note 16—Segment Information

Reporting Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We are comprised of four reportable segments: International Services, U.S. Services, Tubular Sales and Blackhawk.

The International Services segment provides tubular services in international offshore markets and in several onshore international regions. Our customers in these international markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including integrated oil and gas companies and national oil and gas companies.

The U.S. Services segment provides tubular services in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions in the U.S., including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Marcellus Shale, DJ Basin and Utica Shale, as well as in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

The Tubular Sales segment designs, manufactures and distributes large outside diameter ("OD") pipe, connectors and casing attachments and sells large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills. We also provide specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long length tubulars (up to 300 feet in length) for use as caissons or pilings. This segment also designs and manufactures proprietary equipment for use in our International and U.S. Services segments.

The Blackhawk segment provides well construction and well intervention rental equipment, services and products, in addition to cementing tool expertise, in the U.S. and Mexican Gulf of Mexico, onshore U.S. and other select international locations.

Adjusted EBITDA

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

based compensation, unrealized and realized gain or loss, the effects of the TRA, other non-cash adjustments and other charges. We review Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and on a segment basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), income tax, foreign currency exchange rates and other charges and credits. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Previously reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been adjusted for investigation-related matters by $1.8 million and $5.1 million , respectively, as management believes removing the effect of these items allows for better comparability across periods.

Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment reporting performance.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements include information regarding our future plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things:


•	our business strategy and prospects for growth;


•	our cash flows and liquidity;


•	our financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results;


•	the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures;


•	the availability and terms of capital;


•	competition and government regulations; and


•	general economic conditions.

Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other terms that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	the level of activity in the oil and gas industry;


•	further or sustained declines in oil and gas prices, including those resulting from weak global demand;


•	the timing, magnitude, probability and/or sustainability of any oil and gas price recovery;


•	unique risks associated with our offshore operations;


•	political, economic and regulatory uncertainties in our international operations;


•	our ability to develop new technologies and products;


•	our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;


•	our ability to employ and retain skilled and qualified workers;


•	the level of competition in our industry;


•	operational safety laws and regulations; and


•	weather conditions and natural disasters.

These and other important factors that could affect our operating results and performance are described in (1) “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item IA of this Form 10-Q, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, and elsewhere within this Form 10-Q, (2) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017 (our "Annual Report"), (3) our other reports and filings we make with the SEC from time to time and (4) other announcements we make from time to time. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in the documents above or in this Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report.

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement because of various factors, including those described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

Overview of Business

We are a global provider of highly engineered tubular services, tubular fabrication and specialty well construction and well intervention solutions to the oil and gas industry and have been in business for over 75 years. We provide our services to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments, with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells.

We conduct our business through four operating segments:


•	International Services. We currently provide our services in approximately 60 countries on six continents. Our customers in these international markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including integrated oil and gas companies and national oil and gas companies.


•	U.S. Services. We service customers in the offshore areas of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In addition, we have a presence in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions in the U.S., including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Marcellus Shale, DJ Basin and Utica Shale.

•

Tubular Sales. We design, manufacture and distribute large OD pipe, connectors and casing attachments and sell large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills. We also provide specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long-length tubulars (up to 300 feet in length) for use as caissons or pilings. This segment also designs and manufactures proprietary equipment for use in our International and U.S. Services segments.


•	Blackhawk. We provide well construction and well intervention rental equipment, services and products, in addition to cementing tool expertise, in the U.S. and Mexican Gulf of Mexico, onshore U.S. and other select international locations.

Market Outlook

The market for our products and services continues to be challenged by depressed oil and gas commodity prices and reduced customer spending on offshore exploration and development projects. Despite some stabilization in commodity prices and increases in U.S. onshore activity and profitability, commodity prices remain below levels necessary for meaningful increases in offshore activity, particularly in the markets of West Africa and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. For the remainder of 2017, we expect to see further deterioration of pricing and activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and, consequently, our Tubular Sales business segment. International markets are beginning to show signs of stabilization and the potential for reaching an activity bottom in the next twelve months. We expect to see growth in our Blackhawk segment both in the U.S. onshore and in select international markets during the next several quarters as we expand its operational footprint. In order to offset some of the declines in activity and pricing, we continue to look for ways to improve our operational efficiency and grow share in markets in which we have historically been underrepresented, including international land and shelf opportunities. We also continue to evaluate potential

acquisitions to broaden our well construction offering and position the Company for revenue growth in a market recovery.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a number of financial and operational measures to routinely analyze and evaluate the performance of our business, including revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and safety performance.

Revenue

We analyze our revenue growth by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections for each month to assess our performance. We also assess incremental changes in our monthly revenue across our operating segments to identify potential areas for improvement.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefit or expense, asset impairments, gain or loss on sale of assets, foreign currency gain or loss, equity-based compensation, unrealized gain or loss, the effects of the tax receivable agreement ("TRA"), other non-cash adjustments and other charges or credits. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our revenues. We review Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin on both a consolidated basis and on a segment basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to assess our financial performance because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items outside the control of our management team (such as income tax and foreign currency exchange rates) and other charges outside the normal course of business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Previously reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been adjusted for investigation-related matters by $1.8 million and $5.1 million , respectively, as management believes removing the effect of these items allows for better comparability across periods.

Safety and Quality Performance

Maintaining a strong safety record is a critical component of our operational success. Many of our customers have safety standards we must satisfy before we can perform services. As a result, we continually monitor and improve our safety performance through the evaluation of safety observations, job and customer surveys, and safety data. The primary measure for our safety performance is the tracking of the Total Recordable Incident Rate in addition to the Lost Time Incident Rate, which are reviewed on both a monthly and rolling twelve-month basis.

Our business is dependent on our ability to provide highly reliable and safe equipment. If our equipment does not meet statutory regulations and/or our clients do not accept the quality of our equipment, we could encounter loss of contracts and/or loss of reputation, which could materially impact our operations and profitability. Further, the failure of our equipment could subject us to litigation, regulatory fines and/or adverse customer reaction. In addition, equipment certification requirements vary by region and changes in these requirements could impact our ability to operate in certain markets if our tools do not comply with these requirements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Revenues. Revenues from external customers, excluding intersegment sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $3.0 million , or 2.8% , to $108.1 million from $105.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The revenue increase was primarily attributable to our recently acquired Blackhawk segment and our International Services segment, partially offset by a decrease in our U.S. Services and Tubular Sales segments. Revenues for our segments are discussed separately below under the heading "Operating Segment Results."

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $1.6 million , or 2.2% , to $71.7 million from $73.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to our cost cutting initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $4.1 million , or 15.5% , to $30.7 million from $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , primarily due to our recently acquired Blackhawk segment.

Severance and other charges . Severance and other charges for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $12.9 million , or 88.7% , to $1.6 million from $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to higher workforce reductions in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 2017 as we took steps to adjust our workforce to meet the depressed demand in the industry.

Foreign currency gain (loss) . Foreign currency gain for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.8 million as compared to a foreign currency loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $1.7 million . The change in foreign currency gain (loss) year-over-year was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $94.4 million to $87.6 million from a benefit of $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 , primarily as a result of recording valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, outside basis differences in our partnership investment and other timing differences primarily associated with our U.S. operations.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Revenues. Revenues from external customers, excluding intersegment sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $43.1 million , or 11.3% , to $336.5 million from $379.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . The decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenues in the majority of our segments due to declining activity as depressed oil and gas prices resulted in reduced rig count, downward pricing pressures, rig cancellations and delays as well as deferred work scopes in the International and offshore U.S. Services regions while revenues for Tubular Sales decreased due to lower international demand and decreased deepwater fabrication revenue. The decrease in total revenues was partially offset by revenues from our recently acquired Blackhawk segment of $51.9 million . Revenues for our segments are discussed separately below under the heading "Operating Segment Results."

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $17.4 million , or 7.2% , to $224.0 million from $241.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . Our cost of revenues decline was consistent with our lower revenue and cost cutting initiative.

General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $13.5 million , or 9.7% , to $125.1 million from $138.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to bad debt expense recognized in 2016 related to difficulty in collecting certain receivables in Venezuela and cost cutting initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $8.4 million , or 10.0% , to $92.7 million from $84.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , primarily due to our recently acquired Blackhawk segment, partially offset by a lower depreciable base related to our legacy assets.

Severance and other charges . Severance and other charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $16.5 million , or 87.3% , to $2.4 million from $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of a higher workforce reduction in 2016 compared to 2017 as we took steps to adjust our workforce to meet the depressed demand in the industry.

Foreign currency gain (loss) . Foreign currency gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3.2 million as compared to a foreign currency loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $5.9 million . The improvement in foreign currency gain (loss) year-over-year was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies which positively impacted foreign currency gain (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the absence of the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira which negatively impacted foreign currency gain (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 .

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $87.7 million to $72.4 million from a benefit of $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , primarily as a result of recording valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets relate to net operating losses, outside basis differences in our partnership investment and other timing differences primarily associated with our U.S. operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

International Services

Revenue for the International Services segment increased by $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , or 5.3% , compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to an increase in Middle East onshore activity, European offshore shelf activity, and increased offshore activity in Latin America and Canada, partially offset by declines in revenue attributable to the Africa and Asia Pacific regions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the International Services segment increased by $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , or 146.1% , compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily driven by increased revenue as well as lower expenses in 2017 due to cost cutting measures.

U.S. Services

Revenue for the U.S. Services segment decreased by $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , or 14.7% , compared to the same period in 2016 . Onshore services revenue increased by $6.3 million as a result of improved activity from increased rig counts. The offshore business saw a decrease in revenue of $11.3 million as a result of overall lower activity due to rig cancellations and delays in the Gulf of Mexico, coupled with downward pricing pressures.

Adjusted EBITDA for the U.S. Services segment decreased by $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , or 88.9% , compared to the same period in 2016 due to overall lower offshore activity and increased pricing pressures partially offset by higher activity in our onshore services.

Tubular Sales

Revenue for the Tubular Sales segment decreased by $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , or 61.6% , compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to lower deepwater activity in the Gulf of Mexico and delays in projects.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Tubular Sales segment decreased by $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to the decrease in revenue, which was partially offset by lower expenses due to reduced activity and cost cutting measures.

Blackhawk

The Blackhawk segment is comprised solely of the assets we acquired on November 1, 2016. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the segment were $17.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . See Note 3 - Acquisition and Divestitures in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Blackhawk acquisition.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

International Services

Revenue for the International Services segment decreased by $37.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or 19.6% , compared to the same period in 2016 , primarily due to depressed oil and gas prices which have challenged the economics of our customers' development projects, particularly in Europe and Africa where complex deepwater wells had previously been large revenue drivers. This was partially offset by improved revenue in the Middle East due to increased onshore activity.

Adjusted EBITDA for the International Services segment decreased by $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or 19.8% , compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to the decrease in revenue, which was partially offset by the absence of non-recurring charges recognized in 2016 of $9.7 million for bad debt primarily related to difficulty in collecting certain receivables in Venezuela and $2.5 million of additional payroll related costs for Nigeria and Mexico, as well as lower expenses in 2017 due to reduced activity and cost cutting measures.

U.S. Services

Revenue for the U.S. Services segment decreased by $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or 25.0% , compared to the same period in 2016 . Onshore services revenue increased by $12.0 million as a result of improved activity from increased rig counts. The offshore business saw a decrease in revenue of $42.0 million as a result of overall lower activity due to rig cancellations and delays in the Gulf of Mexico, coupled with downward pricing pressures.

Adjusted EBITDA for the U.S. Services segment decreased by $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to lower activity in our offshore services, partially offset by an increase in onshore services activity.

Tubular Sales

Revenue for the Tubular Sales segment decreased by $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or 40.2% , compared to the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of lower deepwater activity in the Gulf of Mexico, which more than offset higher revenue in our international markets.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Tubular Sales segment increased by $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 as it was positively impacted by cost cutting measures undertaken during 2016.

Blackhawk

The Blackhawk segment is comprised solely of the assets we acquired on November 1, 2016. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the segment were $51.9 million and $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . See Note 3 - Acquisition and Divestitures in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Blackhawk acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At September 30, 2017 , we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $293.9 million and debt of $0.1 million . Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations. Our primary uses of capital have been for organic growth capital expenditures. We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, in order to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements.

Our total capital expenditures are estimated at $40.0 million for 2017 . We expect to spend approximately $22.0 million for the purchase and manufacture of equipment and $18.0 million for other property, plant and equipment, inclusive of the purchase or construction of facilities. The actual amount of capital expenditures for the manufacture of equipment may fluctuate based on market conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , capital expenditures were $18.6 million and $29.8 million , respectively, all of which were funded from internally generated funds. We believe our cash on hand and cash flows from operations should be sufficient to fund our capital expenditure and liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2017 .

We paid dividends on our common stock of $50.4 million , or $0.225 per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . On October 27, 2017, the Board of Managing Directors of the Company, with the approval from the Board of Supervisory Directors of the Company, approved a plan to suspend the Company’s quarterly dividend in order to preserve capital for various purposes, including to invest in growth opportunities.

Credit Facility

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either a base rate or an adjusted Eurodollar rate. Base rate loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage ratio. Interest is in each case payable quarterly for base-rate loans. Eurodollar loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at an adjusted Eurodollar rate equal to the Eurodollar rate for such interest period multiplied by the statutory reserves, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%. Interest is payable at the end of applicable interest periods for Eurodollar loans, except that if the interest period for a Eurodollar loan is longer than three months, interest is paid at the end of each three-month period. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on certain leverage ratios.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, among other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain: (i) a ratio of total consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.5 to 1.0 and (ii) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

In addition, the Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants or other agreements, breach of the representations and covenants contained in the agreements, default of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and the occurrence of a change in control.

Citibank Credit Facility

In 2016, we entered into a three -year credit facility with Citibank N.A., UAE Branch in the amount of $6.0 million for issuance of standby letters of credit and guarantees. The credit facility also allows for open ended guarantees. Outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest of 1.25% per annum for amounts outstanding up to one year. Amounts outstanding more than one year bear interest at 1.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had $2.5 million and $2.2 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) with Frank's International C.V. ("FICV") and Mosing Holdings, LLC ("Mosing Holdings") in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"). The TRA generally provides for the payment by us to Mosing Holdings of 85% of the amount of the actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax in periods after our IPO (which reductions we refer to as "cash savings") as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the transfer of FICV interests to us in connection with the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock on August 26, 2016 and (ii) imputed

interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the TRA. We will retain the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any. The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA continues until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA.

If we elect to execute our sole right to terminate the TRA early, we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control.

In certain circumstances, we may be required to make payments under the TRA that we have entered into with Mosing Holdings. In most circumstances, these payments will be associated with the actual cash savings that we recognize in connection with the conversion of Preferred Stock, which would reduce the actual tax benefit to us. If we were to elect to exercise our sole right to terminate the TRA early or enter into certain change of control transactions, we may incur payment obligations prior to the time we actually incur any tax benefit. In those circumstances, we would need to pay the amounts out of cash on hand, finance the payments or refrain from triggering the obligation. Though we do not have any present intention of triggering an advance payment under the TRA, based on our current liquidity and our expected ability to access debt and equity financing, we believe we would be able to make such a payment if necessary. Any such payment could reduce our cash on hand and our borrowing availability, however, which would also reduce the amount of cash available to operate our business, to fund capital expenditures and to be paid as dividends to our stockholders, among other things. Please see Note 12 - Related Party Transactions in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that use the local currency as the functional currency exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are noncash changes. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $27.8 million for the same period in 2016 . The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower activity as a result of depressed oil and gas prices, which resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable of $58.1 million and inventories of $13.9 million , partially offset

by a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $37.8 million , deferred revenue of $20.4 million and other non-current liabilities of $8.7 million .

Investing Activities

Cash flow used in investing activities was $57.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $17.4 million in the same period in 2016 . The increase in cash flow used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of investments of $59.8 million , partially offset by lower purchases of property, plant and equipment of $11.2 million and higher proceeds from the sale of assets of $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

Financing Activities

Cash flow used in financing activities was $51.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $79.8 million in the same period in 2016 . The decrease in cash flow used in financing activities was primarily due to lower dividend payments of $11.9 million , the absence of a payment to our noncontrolling interest of $8.0 million made in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , and lower repayments on borrowings of $6.9 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with the exception of operating leases.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting standards we recently adopted or will be required to adopt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the change below, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2016.

We account for our derivative activities under the accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging. Derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Although the derivative contracts will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments during a period will be included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Based on the derivative contracts that were in place as of September 30, 2017 , a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar, Euro, Norwegian krone, and Pound sterling would result in a $2.4 million decrease in the market value of our forward contracts. Please see Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 11 - Derivatives for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2017 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017 at the reasonable assurance level.


(b)	Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are conducting an internal investigation of the operations of certain of our foreign subsidiaries in West Africa including possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our extensive internal review to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Department of Justice and other governmental entities. It is our intent to fully cooperate with these agencies and any other applicable authorities in connection with any further investigation that may be conducted in connection with this matter. While our review has not indicated that there has been any material impact on our previously filed financial statements, we have continued to collect information and cooperate with the authorities, but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies. In addition, during the course of the investigation, we discovered historical business transactions (and bids to enter into business transactions) in certain countries that may have been subject to U.S. and other international sanctions. We have disclosed this information to various governmental entities (including those involved in our ongoing investigation), but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies, including any financial impact to us. Our board and management are committed to continuously enhancing our internal controls that support improved compliance and transparency throughout our global operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
