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 and products 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 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 include the activities of Frank’s International C.V. (“FICV”), Blackhawk Group Holdings, LLC (“Blackhawk”) and their 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, 2018 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, 2018 , which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2019 (“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

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our operating income (loss), net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed its reportable segment structure. Please see Note 15—Segment Information for additional information. As part of the change in reportable segments, the Company also changed the classification of certain costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations to reflect a change in presentation of the information used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Historically, and through December 31, 2018, certain direct and indirect costs related to operations were classified and reported as general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) and manufacturing costs were classified as cost of revenues, products (“COR – Products”). The historical classification was consistent with the information used by the CODM to assess the performance of the Company’s segments and make resource allocation decisions. As part of the change in reportable segments, and to provide the CODM with additional oversight over costs that directly support operations versus costs that are more general and administrative in nature, certain costs previously classified as G&A have been reclassified as cost of revenues – services (“COR – Services”). In addition, manufacturing costs previously classified as COR – Products have been reclassified to COR – Services as a result of the change in segment reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

We consider the applicability and impact of all accounting pronouncements. 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, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with the accounting for employee share-based compensation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact 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 February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for leases. We adopted the new lease standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption, including not restating comparative periods. In our financial statements, the comparative period continues to be reported under the accounting standards which were in effect for that period.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in recording lease assets of $34.9 million , lease liabilities of $34.4 million and an adjustment to retained earnings of $0.7 million as of January 1, 2019. The standard had no impact on our net income (loss) and cash flows.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. In addition, we elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of leased assets. Also, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2—Leases
 
We have operating leases for real estate, vehicles and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. At the present time all of our leases are classified as operating leases. Our short-term lease expense was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

The accounting for some of our leases may require significant judgment, which includes determining the incremental borrowing rates to utilize in our net present value calculation of lease payments for lease agreements which do not provide an implicit rate and assessing the likelihood of renewal or termination options.

Credit Facility

Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

On November 5, 2018, FICV, Frank’s International, LLC and Blackhawk, as borrowers, and FINV, certain of FINV’s subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank’s International GP, LLC, Frank’s International, LP, Frank’s International LP B.V., Frank’s International Partners B.V., Frank’s International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., 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 (the “ABL Agent”), and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of  $100.0 million including up to $15.0 million available for letters of credit. Subject to the terms of the ABL Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $200.0 million . The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to customary reserves and other adjustments.



13

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by FINV’s subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank’s International GP, LLC, Frank’s International, LP, Frank’s International LP B.V., Frank’s International Partners B.V., Frank’s International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. In addition, the obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets and property of the borrowers and guarantors, including pledges of equity interests in certain of FINV’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at FINV’s option at either (a) the Alternate Base Rate ( ABR ) (as defined therein), calculated as the greatest of (i) the rate of interest publicly quoted by the Wall Street Journal, as the “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, (ii) the federal funds effective rate that is subject to a 0.00% interest rate floor plus 0.50% , and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.00% , or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.00%  to  1.50%  per annum for ABR loans and  2.00%  to 2.50%  per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on FINV’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 daily 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 ABR loans is payable monthly in arrears.

The ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit, subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds, FINV’s ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments, acquisitions, or loans and create or incur liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The ABL Credit Facility also requires FINV to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein), when either (i) an event of default occurs under the ABL Credit Facility or (ii) availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls for at least two consecutive calendar days below the greater of (A) $12.5 million and (B) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments (a “FCCR Trigger Event”). Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. After a FCCR Trigger Event, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion. After a FCCR Trigger Event, the Company will be subject to compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and “springing” cash dominion until no default exists under the ABL Credit Facility and availability under the facility for the preceding thirty consecutive days has been equal to at least the greater of (x) $12.5 million and (y) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. If FINV 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 FINV’s other indebtedness.

As of  March 31, 2019 , FINV had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, letters of credit outstanding of $4.0 million and availability of  $82.3 million .

Insurance Notes Payable

In 2018, we entered into a note to finance our annual insurance premiums totaling $6.8 million . The note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.9% with a final maturity date in October 2019 . At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the outstanding balance was $3.9 million and $5.6 million , respectively.

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 at March 31, 2019 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2018 .

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. Our liabilities associated with our deferred compensation plan are included in o ther non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 and assets identified as held for sale, as well as impairment related to goodwill and other long-lived assets.

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 10—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.

Our derivative transactions are governed through International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements. These agreements include stipulations regarding the right of offset in the event that we or our counterparty default on our performance obligations. If a default were to occur, both parties have the right to net amounts payable and receivable into a single net settlement between parties. Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists.

Note 11—Related Party Transactions

We have engaged in certain transactions with other companies related to us by common ownership. We have entered into various operating leases to lease facilities from these affiliated companies. Rent expense associated with our related party leases was $0.7 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , $7.6 million of our operating lease right-of-use assets and $8.4 million of our lease liabilities were associated with related party leases.

On November 2, 2018, Frank’s International, LLC entered into a purchase agreement with Mosing Ventures, LLC, Mosing Land & Cattle Company, LLC, Mosing Queens Row Properties, LLC, and 4-M Investments, each of which are companies related to us by common ownership (the “Mosing Companies”). Under the purchase agreement, we acquired real property that we previously leased from the Mosing Companies, and two additional properties located adjacent to those properties. The total purchase price was $37.0 million , including legal fees and closing adjustments for normal operating activity. The purchase closed on December 18, 2018. The properties are conveyed as-is, except that until 10 years following the Closing Date, the parties will continue to have certain rights and obligations under the terms of the agreements by which some of the purchased properties were acquired by the Mosing Companies at the time of our initial public offering. We made improvements on the purchased properties during the lease period, and the purchase price was calculated excluding the value of those improvements. As of the purchase closing, we no longer lease the acquired properties from the Mosing Companies.
 
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 made an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to


17

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the Section 754 election, the Conversion resulted 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 are 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 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 March 31, 2019 , 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 unable to conclude that there will be future cash savings that will lead to additional payouts under the TRA beyond the estimated $0.2 million as of March 31, 2019 . 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 of control. For example, if the TRA were terminated on March 31, 2019 , the estimated termination payment would be approximately $46.1 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 12— Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number

Note 13—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 most current expected annual tax rate.

Our effective tax rate was (52.8)% and (17.9)% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The increase in tax rates as compared to the same period last year is primarily the result of an increase in taxable income and a change in the jurisdiction mix. We are subject to tax in many U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. In many foreign jurisdictions we are taxed on bases other than income such as deemed profits or withholding taxes based on revenues. As a consequence, the relationship between our pre-tax income and our income tax provision varies from period to period. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we also recorded additional valuation allowances related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets.

We are under audit by certain foreign jurisdictions for the years 2008 - 2017. We do not expect the results of these audits to have any material effect on our financial statements.

As of March 31, 2019 , there were no significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits as reported in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Note 14—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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . 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.

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 (“FCPA”), our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our extensive internal review to the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other governmental entities. It is our intent to continue 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 disclosed this information to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) (as well as to the agencies involved in our ongoing investigation discussed above). We received a No Action Letter dated April 20, 2018 from OEE, stating that OEE had closed its investigation without taking further action. In addition, we received a No Action Letter dated April 23, 2018 from OFAC, stating that OFAC had closed its investigation without taking further action.

As disclosed above, our investigation into possible violations of the FCPA remains ongoing, and we will continue to cooperate with the SEC, DOJ and other relevant governmental entities in connection therewith. At this time, we 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.

Note 15—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 Company’s CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. During 2018, changes to the Company’s organizational structure were internally announced. These changes allow each segment to operate as an “independent” business in order to drive accountability and streamline decision-making, while leveraging the advantages of our global infrastructure. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company’s CODM changed the information he regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess performance and we accordingly realigned our reporting segments into three reportable segments: Tubular Running Services (“TRS”) segment, Tubulars segment and Cementing Equipment (“CE”) segment. The TRS segment represents the prior International Services and U.S. Services segments, as well as the costs associated with manufacturing the TRS equipment. Corporate costs that were previously included in the International Services and U.S. Services segments are now included in a separate Corporate component. The Tubulars segment represents the prior Tubular Sales segment and the drilling tools business which was previously included within the International Services and U.S. Services segments, less costs associated with TRS equipment manufacturing. The CE segment is comprised of the prior Blackhawk segment. In addition, regional support costs that were previously included in the International Services and U.S. Services segments are now allocated amongst the three current segments, generally based on revenue or headcount. We have revised our segment reporting to reflect our current management approach and recast prior periods to conform to the current segment presentation.

The TRS segment provides tubular running services globally. Internationally, the TRS segment operates in the majority of the offshore oil and gas markets and also in several onshore regions with operations in approximately 50 countries on six continents. In the U.S., the TRS segment provides services in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale, and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Our customers in these markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including international oil and gas companies, national oil and gas companies, major independents and other oilfield service companies.

The Tubulars segment designs, manufactures and distributes connectors and casing attachments for large outside diameter (“OD”) heavy wall pipe. Additionally, the Tubulars segment sells large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills, as plain end or fully fabricated with propriety welded or thread-direct connector solutions and provides specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore deepwater projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long-length tubular assemblies up to 400 feet in length. The Tubulars segment also specializes in the development, manufacture and supply of proprietary drilling tool solutions that focus on improving drilling productivity through eliminating or mitigating traditional drilling operational risks.

The CE segment provides specialty equipment to enhance the safety and efficiency of rig operations. It provides specialized equipment, services and products utilized in the construction of the wellbore in both onshore and offshore environments. The product portfolio includes casing accessories that serve to improve the installation of casing, centralization and wellbore zonal isolation, as well as enhance cementing operations through advance wiper plug and float equipment technology. The CE segment also provides services and products utilized in the construction, completion or abandonment of the wellbore. These solutions are primarily used to isolate portions of the wellbore through the setting of barriers downhole to allow for rig evacuation in case of inclement weather, maintenance work on other rig equipment, squeeze cementing, pressure testing within the wellbore, hydraulic fracturing and temporary and permanent abandonments. These offerings improve operational efficiencies and limit non-productive time if unscheduled events are encountered at the wellsite.

Revenues

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by geography for each of our segments, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Intersegment revenues are immaterial.

Adjusted EBITDA

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 disposal of assets, foreign currency gain or loss, equity-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.

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 “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” 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;
international trade laws and sanctions;
weather conditions and natural disasters; and
policy or regulatory changes domestically in the United States.

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, 2018 , filed with the SEC on February 25, 2019 (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.



24


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 80 years. We provide our services and products to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments, with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed its reportable segment structure. Please see Note 15—Segment Information in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We conduct our business through three operating segments:

Tubular Running Services. The Tubular Running Services (“TRS”) segment provides tubular running services globally. Internationally, the TRS segment operates in the majority of the offshore oil and gas markets and also in several onshore regions with operations in approximately 50 countries on six continents. In the U.S., the TRS segment provides services in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions, including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale, and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Our customers in these markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including international oil and gas companies, national oil and gas companies, major independents and other oilfield service companies.

Tubulars. The Tubulars segment designs, manufactures and distributes connectors and casing attachments for large outside diameter (“OD”) heavy wall pipe. Additionally, the Tubulars segment sells large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills, as plain end or fully fabricated with propriety welded or thread-direct connector solutions and provides specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore deepwater projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long-length tubular assemblies up to 400 feet in length. The Tubulars segment also specializes in the development, manufacture and supply of proprietary drilling tool solutions that focus on improving drilling productivity through eliminating or mitigating traditional drilling operational risks.

Cementing Equipment. The Cementing Equipment (“CE”) segment provides specialty equipment to enhance the safety and efficiency of rig operations. It provides specialized equipment, services and products utilized in the construction of the wellbore in both onshore and offshore environments. The product portfolio includes casing accessories that serve to improve the installation of casing, centralization and wellbore zonal isolation, as well as enhance cementing operations through advance wiper plug and float equipment technology. The CE segment also provides services and products utilized in the construction, completion or abandonment of the wellbore. These solutions are primarily used to isolate portions of the wellbore through the setting of barriers downhole to allow for rig evacuation in case of inclement weather, maintenance work on other rig equipment, squeeze cementing, pressure testing within the wellbore, hydraulic fracturing and temporary and permanent abandonments. These offerings improve operational efficiencies and limit non-productive time if unscheduled events are encountered at the wellsite.



25


Market Outlook

We expect to see increased customer spending globally on oil and natural gas exploration and production in response to the continued stabilization of commodity prices. Much of the anticipated increase in spending will continue to be associated with U.S. onshore projects, although we anticipate the rate of spending outside of U.S. onshore projects to increase in 2019. Activity in the deep and ultra-deep offshore markets is expected to see some modest improvement in 2019, and pricing of newly sanctioned projects is estimated to be marginally higher than recent trends. In many international offshore shelf markets, we are seeing increased activity as operators are increasingly seeing improved economics at current commodity prices. In response, we will continue our efforts to expand products and services historically weighted to the U.S. market to international markets, reducing costs through operational efficiency gains and prioritizing projects that improve market share and profitability.

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 disposal of assets, foreign currency gain or loss, equity-based compensation, unrealized and realized gains or losses, 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”).

For a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see “Operating Segment Results.”

Safety and Quality Performance

Safety is one of our primary core values. 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 which is reviewed on both a monthly and rolling twelve-month basis.

(1)     For the three months ended March 31, 2018, $6,634 and $1,118 have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses and cost of revenues, products, respectively, to cost of revenues, services. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Revenues. Revenues from external customers, excluding intersegment sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $28.8 million , or 25.0% , to $144.4 million from $115.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Revenues increased across all 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 March 31, 2019 increased by $14.8 million , or 16.7% , to $103.4 million from $88.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The increase was driven by higher activity levels and mix of work in the TRS and CE segments, partially offset by productivity actions taken in 2018.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $3.3 million , or 10.3% , to $35.4 million from $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , primarily due to the finalization of an annual insurance premium, as well as higher professional fees.


28



Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $3.1 million , or 10.8% , to $25.2 million from $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 , as a result of a lower depreciable base due to decreased capital expenditures during the current and prior years, partially offset by increased intangible asset amortization expense.

Severance and other charges, net . Severance and other charges, net decreased from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of lower workforce reductions in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 2018.

Foreign currency gain . Foreign currency gain for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.5 million as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The change in foreign currency results year-over-year was primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $3.4 million from $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The change is primarily due to recording additional valuation allowances related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Tubular Running Services

Revenue for the TRS segment was $98.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $19.2 million , or 24.3% , compared to $78.9 million for the same period in 2018 . The increase was driven by activity improvements in U.S. onshore, Western Hemisphere offshore, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, partially offset by lower activity levels in Asia Pacific.



29


Adjusted EBITDA for the TRS segment was $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $12.8 million , or 258.6% , compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by operational leverage on activity in U.S. onshore, Western Hemisphere offshore, Africa and the Middle East.

Tubulars

Revenue for the Tubulars segment was $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $1.0 million , or 5.5% , compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2018 , primarily as a result of higher drilling tools activity, partially offset by lower tubular sales.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Tubulars segment was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $0.5 million , or 14.4% , compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2018 , primarily due to higher drilling tools activity.

Cementing Equipment

Revenue for the CE segment was $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $8.7 million , or 45.6% , compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2018 , driven by expansion to international markets, improved activity and market share in the U.S. onshore market and increased market share and new product offerings in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Adjusted EBITDA for the CE segment was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an increase of $2.8 million , or 298.9% , compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2018 , primarily due to improved operational results, particularly in offshore international markets.

Corporate

Adjusted EBITDA for Corporate was a loss of $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , an unfavorable change of $4.3 million , or 37.2% , compared to a loss of $11.6 million for the same period in 2018 , primarily due to the finalization of an annual insurance premium, as well as higher professional fees and compensation related expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At March 31, 2019 , we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $172.0 million and debt of $3.9 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 to range between $40.0 million and $50.0 million for 2019 , of which we expect approximately 65% will be used for the purchase and manufacture of equipment and 35% 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 and timing of deliveries. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , cash expenditures related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles were $8.1 million and $6.3 million , respectively, all of which were funded from internally generated funds. We believe our cash on hand should be sufficient to fund our capital expenditure and liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2019 .

Credit Facility

Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

On November 5, 2018, FICV, Frank’s International, LLC and Blackhawk, as borrowers, and FINV, certain of FINV’s subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank’s International GP, LLC, Frank’s International, LP, Frank’s International LP B.V., Frank’s International Partners B.V., Frank’s International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., 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 (the “ABL Agent”), and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of  $100.0 million including up to $15.0 million available for letters of credit. Subject to the terms of the ABL Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $200.0 million . The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to customary reserves and other adjustments.

All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by FINV’s subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank’s International GP, LLC, Frank’s International, LP, Frank’s International LP B.V., Frank’s International Partners B.V., Frank’s International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. In addition, the obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets and property of the borrowers and guarantors, including pledges of equity interests in certain of FINV’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at FINV’s option at either (a) the Alternate Base Rate ( ABR ) (as defined therein), calculated as the greatest of (i) the rate of interest publicly quoted by the Wall Street Journal, as the “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, (ii) the federal funds effective rate that is subject to a 0.00% interest rate floor plus 0.50% , and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.00% , or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.00%  to  1.50%  per annum for ABR loans and  2.00%  to 2.50%  per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on FINV’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 daily 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 ABR loans is payable monthly in arrears.

The ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit, subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds, FINV’s ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments, acquisitions, or loans and create or incur liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The ABL Credit Facility also requires FINV to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein), when either (i) an event of default occurs under the ABL Credit Facility or (ii) availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls for at least two consecutive calendar days below the greater of (A) $12.5 million and (B) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments (a “FCCR Trigger Event”). Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. After a FCCR Trigger Event, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion. After a FCCR Trigger Event, the Company will be subject to compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and “springing” cash dominion until no default exists under the ABL Credit Facility and availability under the facility for the preceding thirty consecutive days has been equal to at least the greater of (x) $12.5 million and (y) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. If FINV 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 FINV’s other indebtedness.



31


As of  March 31, 2019 , FINV had no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, letters of credit outstanding of $4.0 million and availability of  $82.3 million .

Insurance Notes Payable

In 2018, we entered into a note to finance our annual insurance premiums totaling $6.8 million . The note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.9% with a final maturity date in October 2019 . At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the outstanding balance was $3.9 million and $5.6 million , respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement 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.

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 used in operating activities was $29.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2018 . The increase in cash flow used in operating activities of $8.9 million was primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Cash flow used in investing activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $0.1 million in the same period in 2018 . The increase in cash flow used in investing activities of $0.6 million was related to a $1.8 million increase in the purchase of property, plant, equipment and intangibles and lower proceeds from the sale of assets of $1.6 million offset by a net increase in proceeds from investments of $2.8 million .

Financing Activities

Cash flow used in financing activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2018 . The increase in cash flow used in financing activities of $0.6 million was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in treasury shares withheld.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements with the exception of purchase obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report with the exception of leases. Please see Note 2—Leases in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Annual Report. Except for the change below, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2018 .

Based on the derivative contracts that were in place as of March 31, 2019 , a simultaneous 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar, Euro, Norwegian krone, and Pound sterling would result in a $3.9 million decrease in the market value of our forward contracts. Please see Note 10—Derivatives in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding in U.S. dollars as of March 31, 2019 .

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 March 31, 2019 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 March 31, 2019 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


34


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . 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. Please see Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

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 (“FCPA”), 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 (“SEC”), the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other governmental entities. It is our intent to continue 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 disclosed this information to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) (as well as to the agencies involved in our ongoing investigation discussed above). We received a No Action Letter dated April 20, 2018 from OEE, stating that OEE had closed its investigation without taking further action. In addition, we received a No Action Letter dated April 23, 2018 from OFAC, stating that OFAC had closed its investigation without taking further action.

As disclosed above, our investigation into possible violations of the FCPA remains ongoing, and we will continue to cooperate with the SEC, DOJ and other relevant governmental entities in connection therewith. At this time, we 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.
