NOW INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 i 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 i 

Nature of Operations

NOW Inc. (“NOW” or the “Company”) is a holding company headquartered in Houston, Texas that was incorporated in Delaware on November 22, 2013. NOW operates primarily under the DistributionNOW and DNOW brands. NOW is a global distributor of energy products as well as products for industrial applications through its locations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and internationally which are geographically positioned to serve the energy and industrial markets in approximately  i 80 countries. Additionally, through the Company’s growing DigitalNOW® platform, customers can leverage world-class technology across ecommerce, data management and supply chain optimization applications to solve a wide array of complex operational and product sourcing challenges to assist in maximizing their return on assets. The Company’s energy product offering is consumed throughout all sectors of the energy industry – from upstream drilling and completion, exploration and production, midstream infrastructure development to downstream petroleum refining and petrochemicals – as well as in other industries, such as chemical processing, mining, utilities and renewables. The industrial distribution end markets include engineering and construction firms that perform capital and maintenance projects for their end user clients. NOW also provides supply chain and materials management solutions to the same markets where the Company sells products. NOW’s supplier network consists of thousands of vendors in approximately  i 40 countries.

 / 
 i 

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 i 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 i 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximated fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Cash equivalents include only those investments having a maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase. See Note 12 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair value of derivative financial instruments.

 i 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Entities that elect the relief are required to disclose the nature of the optional expedients and exceptions that are adopted and the reasons for the adoptions. The guidance is effective upon issuance and the expedients and exceptions may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 /

 i 

2. Revenue

 i 

The Company’s primary source of revenue is the sale of energy products and an extensive selection of products for industrial applications based upon purchase orders or contracts with customers. The majority of revenue is recognized at a point in time once the Company has determined that the customer has obtained control over the product. Control is typically deemed to have been transferred to the customer when the product is shipped, delivered or picked up by the customer. The Company does not grant extended payment terms. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to proper government authorities. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods and are recorded in cost of products.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for products sold. Revenue is recorded at the transaction price net of estimates of variable consideration, which may include product returns, trade discounts and allowances. The Company accrues for variable consideration using the expected value method. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

See Note 7 “Business Segments” for disaggregation of revenue by reporting segments. The Company believes this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 i 

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed on contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year. The Company’s contracts are predominantly short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations when the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

 i 

Receivables

Receivables are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. Receivables are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts (“AFDA”). The estimated AFDA reflects the Company’s immediate recognition of current expected credit losses by incorporating the historical loss experience, as well as current and future market conditions that are reasonably available. Judgments in the estimate of AFDA include global economic and business conditions, oil and gas industry and market conditions, customer’s financial conditions and accounts receivable past due. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, AFDA totaled $ i 26 million and $ i 25 million, respectively.

 i 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets primarily consist of retainage amounts held as a form of security by customers until the Company satisfies its remaining performance obligations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract assets were $ i  i 1 /  million for both periods and were included in receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally accounts for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is  i one year or less; however, these expenses are not material.

Contract liabilities primarily consist of deferred revenues recorded when customer payments are received or due in advance of satisfying performance obligations, including amounts which are refundable, and other accrued customer liabilities. Revenue recognition is deferred to a future period until the Company completes its obligations contractually agreed with customers. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract liabilities were $ i 30 million and $ i 27 million, respectively, and were included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the increase in contract liabilities was primarily related to net customer deposits of approximately $ i 17 million, partially offset by recognizing revenue of approximately $ i 14 million that was deferred as of December 31, 2021.

5. Debt

On i  December 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, serving as the administrative agent (as amended, the “Credit Facility”).

Effective with the amendment, the Credit Facility provides for a $ i 500 million global revolving credit facility, of which up to $ i 50 million is available for the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries, and the maturity is extended to December 14, 2026. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate principal amount of commitments under the credit facility by $ i 250 million. The Credit Facility also provides a letter of credit sub-facility of $ i 25 million. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default.  i The Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least  i 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter if excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of  i 10% of the borrowing base or $ i 40 million. / 

Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear an interest rate at the Company’s option, at (i) the base rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio (and if applicable, the Company’s leverage ratio); or (ii) the greater of LIBOR for the applicable interest period and zero, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio (and if applicable, the Company’s leverage ratio). As part of the amendment, when the fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) is less than or equal to  i 1.50 to 1.00, the applicable rate for borrowings of base rate loans and Eurocurrency rate loans decreases by  i 0.250%. The Credit Facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of commitments that ranges from  i 25 to  i 37.5 basis points. Commitment fees incurred during the period were included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Availability under the Credit Facility is determined by a borrowing base comprised of eligible receivables, eligible inventory and certain pledged deposits in the U.S and Canada. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had  i no borrowings against the Credit Facility and approximately $ i 454 million in availability (as defined in the Credit Facility) resulting in the excess availability (as defined in the Credit Facility) of  i 99%, subject to certain limitations. The Company is not obligated to repay borrowings against the current Credit Facility until the expiration date.

The Company issued $ i 5 million in letters of credit under the Credit Facility primarily for casualty insurance requirements expiring in  i June 2023.

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s international entities in which there is a substantial investment have the local currency as their functional currency. As a result, foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the entities’ financial statements into the reporting currency are reported in other comprehensive income or loss in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”

As of June 30, 2022, the Company substantially completed the liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries in its International segment. As a result, the Company reclassified $ i 10 million of foreign currency translation losses from the component of AOCI into earnings, reflected in impairment and other charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

8. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were  i 7.1% and  i 8.2%, respectively, compared to ( i 88.9%) and ( i 14.8%), respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. In general, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to recurring items, such as differing tax rates on income earned in foreign jurisdictions, nondeductible expenses, state income taxes and the change in valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the recognition of tax expense from earnings in Canada offset by current year realization of deferred tax assets and corresponding release of valuation allowance in the U.S., as well as impairment charges incurred as a result of substantially completing the liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries with no associated tax benefit. The current geopolitical conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on the global supply chain and create continuing uncertainty in the Company’s short-term results. Consequently, the Company is continuing to rely on the discrete-period method for calculating its interim period tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company will evaluate its use of this method each quarter until such time as a return to the annualized estimated effective tax rate method is deemed appropriate.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has significant operations in the U.S. and Canada and to a lesser extent in various other international jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examination vary by legal entity but are generally open in the U.S. for the tax years ending after 2017 and outside the U.S. for the tax years ending after 2015.

9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately  i 2 million and  i 3 million, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately  i  i 6 /  million of potentially dilutive shares were excluded in both periods from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the Company recognizing a net loss.

Under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, the two-class method requires a portion of net income attributable to the Company to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, if declared. Net loss is not allocated to unvested awards in periods the Company determines that those shares are not obligated to participate in losses. For the periods that the Company recognized net income, net income attributable to the Company allocated to these participating securities was excluded from net income attributable to the Company’s stockholders in the numerator of the earnings per share computation.

10. Stock-based Compensation and Outstanding Awards

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted  i  i 1,152,413 /  shares of restricted stock awards ("RSAs") and restricted stock units ("RSUs") with a weighted average fair value of $ i 9.86 per share. In addition, the Company granted performance stock awards ("PSAs") to senior management employees with potential payouts varying from  i zero to  i 701,668 shares. The RSAs and RSUs vest on the first and third anniversary of the date of grant. The PSAs can be earned based on performance against established metrics over a  i three-year performance period.

Stock-based compensation expense totaled $ i  i 2 /  million and $ i  i 4 /  million for the three and six months ended June 30, respectively, in both 2022 and 2021.

 / 
 i 

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters with entities such as suppliers, customers, parties to acquisitions and divestitures, government authorities and other external parties. The Company regularly reviews and records the estimated probable liability in an amount believed to be sufficient and continues to periodically reexamine the estimates of probable liabilities and any associated expenses to make appropriate adjustments to such estimates as necessary. These estimated liabilities are based on the Company’s assessment of the nature of these matters, their progress toward resolution, the advice of legal counsel and outside experts as well as management’s intention and past experience regarding the valuation of these claims. The Company has also assessed the potential for additional losses above the amounts accrued as well as potential losses for matters that are not probable but are reasonably possible. The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined. While the Company has established estimates it believes to be reasonable under the facts known, the outcomes of litigation and similar disputes are often difficult to reliably predict and may result in decisions or settlements that are contrary to, or in excess of, the Company's expectations.

The Company’s business is affected both directly and indirectly by governmental laws and regulations relating to the oilfield service industry in general, as well as by environmental and safety regulations that specifically apply to the Company’s business. Although the Company has not incurred material costs in connection with its compliance with such laws, there can be no assurance that other

developments, such as new environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies hereunder may not result in additional, presently unquantifiable costs or liabilities to the Company. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in its judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable. Estimating reasonably possible losses also requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties.

The Company maintains credit arrangements with several banks providing for standby letters of credit, including bid and performance bonds, and other bonding requirements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $ i 13 million of outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid on those letters of credit and surety bonds.

In 2021, the Company completed an acquisition which included a contingent consideration arrangement that required additional consideration to be paid based on the achievement of a specified performance target over the earn-out period of one year. The fair value of contingent consideration liability included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, was approximately $ i 13 million. As of March 31, 2022, the earn-out period was completed and the Company calculated the contingent consideration threshold was not achieved. As a result, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $ i 13 million in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations in the three months ended March 31, 2022. However, the Company is currently in disagreement with the sellers on certain aspects of the agreement. The Company does not believe at this time that resolution of the matter will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, but the final outcome has not been determined.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company has entered into certain financial derivative instruments to manage this risk.

The derivative financial instruments the Company has entered into are forward exchange contracts which have terms of less than one year to economically hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk on recognized nonfunctional currency monetary accounts. The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to economically hedge the Company’s risk from changes in the fair value of nonfunctional currency denominated monetary accounts.

The Company records all derivative financial instruments at their fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. None of the derivative financial instruments that the Company holds are designated as either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge and the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in earnings. The Company has determined that the fair value of its derivative financial instruments are computed using level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is based on publicly available foreign exchange rates at each financial reporting date. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts totaled an asset of less than $ i  i 1 /  million and a liability of less than $ i  i 1 /  million in both periods. The Company's foreign currency forward contract assets were included in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and the Company's foreign contract liabilities were included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of less than $ i  i 1 /  million in both periods related to changes in fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of less than $ i  i 1 /  million in both periods related to changes in fair value. All gains and losses were included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The notional principal associated with those contracts was $ i 11 million and $ i 9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s financial instruments do not contain any credit-risk-related or other contingent features that could cause accelerated payments when the Company’s financial instruments are in net liability positions. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 / 
 i 

13. Acquisition

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed an acquisition for a net purchase price consideration of approximately $ i 21 million cash. The acquisition expands NOW's product offering in the U.S. Process Solutions reporting unit. The Company completed its preliminary valuations as of the acquisition date of the acquired net assets and recognized goodwill of $ i 12 million and intangible assets of $ i 4 million in the United States segment, which are subject to change. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimate of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; any such revisions are not expected to be significant. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has not presented supplemental pro forma information because the acquired operations did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated operating results.

14. Subsequent Event

On August 3, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $ i 80 million of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2024.

Our global product offering includes consumable maintenance, repair and operating (“MRO”) supplies, pipe, valves, fittings, flanges, gaskets, fasteners, electrical, instrumentation, artificial lift, pumping solutions, valve actuation and modular process, measurement and control equipment. We also offer procurement, warehouse and inventory management solutions as part of our supply chain and materials management offering. We have developed expertise in providing application systems, work processes, parts integration, optimization solutions and after-sales support.

Our solutions include outsourcing portions or entire functions of our customers’ procurement, warehouse and inventory management, logistics, point of issue technology, project management, business process and performance metrics reporting. These solutions allow us to leverage the infrastructure of our SAP™ Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system and other technologies to streamline our customers’ purchasing process, from requisition to procurement to payment, by digitally managing workflow, improving approval routing and providing robust reporting functionality.

We support land and offshore operations for all the major oil and gas producing regions around the world through our network of locations. Our key markets, beyond North America, include South America, the North Sea, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, portions of the former Soviet Union and Africa. Products sold through our locations support greenfield expansion upstream capital projects, midstream infrastructure and transmission and MRO consumables used in day-to-day production. We provide downstream energy and industrial products for petroleum refining, chemical processing, liquefied natural gas terminals, power generation utilities operations and customer on-site locations.

We stock or sell approximately 300,000 stock keeping units through our branch network. Our supplier network consists of thousands of vendors in approximately 40 countries. From our operations in approximately 20 countries we sell to customers operating in approximately 80 countries. The supplies and equipment stocked by each of our branches are customized to meet varied and changing local customer demands. The breadth and scale of our offering enhances our value proposition to our customers, suppliers and shareholders.

15

 


 

We employ advanced information technologies, including a common ERP platform across most of our business, to provide complete procurement, warehouse and inventory management and logistics coordination to our customers around the globe. Having a common ERP platform allows immediate visibility into our inventory assets, operations and financials worldwide, enhancing decision making and efficiency.

Demand for our products is driven primarily by the level of oil and gas drilling, completions, servicing, production, transmission, refining and petrochemical activities. It is also influenced by the global supply and demand for energy, the economy in general and geopolitics. Several factors drive spending, such as investment in energy infrastructure, the North American conventional and shale plays, market expectations of future developments in the oil, natural gas, liquids, refined products, petrochemical, plant maintenance and other industrial and energy sectors.

We have expanded globally, through acquisitions and organic investments, into Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Egypt, England, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Scotland, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the United States (“U.S.”).

Summary of Reportable Segments

We operate through three reportable segments: U.S., Canada and International. The segment data included in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis are presented on a basis consistent with our internal management reporting. Segment information appearing in Note 7 “Business Segments” of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) is also presented on this basis.

United States

We have approximately 115 locations in the U.S., which are geographically positioned to best serve the upstream, midstream and downstream energy and industrial markets.

We offer higher value solutions in key product lines in the U.S. which broaden and deepen our customer relationships and related product line value. Examples of these include artificial lift, pumps, valves and valve actuation, process and production equipment, fluid transfer products, measurement and controls, spoolable and coated steel-pipe and composite pipe, along with many other products required by our customers, which enable them to focus on their core business while we manage varying degrees of their supply chain. We also provide additional value to our customers through the engineering, design, construction, assembly, fabrication and optimization of products and equipment essential to the safe and efficient production, transportation and processing of oil and gas.

Canada

We have a network of approximately 40 locations in the Canadian oilfield, predominantly in the oil rich provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and other targeted locations across the country. Our Canada segment primarily serves energy exploration, production, mining and drilling business, offering customers many of the same products and value-added solutions that we perform in the U.S. In Canada, we also provide training for, and supervise the installation of, jointed and spoolable composite pipe. This product line is supported by inventory, as well as product and installation expertise to serve our customers.

International

We operate in approximately 20 countries and serve the needs of our international customers from approximately 20 locations outside the U.S. and Canada, which are strategically located in major oil and gas development areas. Our approach in these markets is similar to our approach in North America, as our customers turn to us to provide products and supply chain solutions support closer to their drilling and exploration activities. Our long legacy of operating in many international regions, combined with significant expansion into several key markets, provides a competitive advantage as few of our competitors have a presence in most of the global energy producing regions.

Basis of Presentation

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of our management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Operating Environment Overview

Our results are dependent on, among other factors, the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling and completions, well remediation activity, crude oil and natural gas prices, capital spending by oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, and the worldwide oil and gas inventory levels. Key industry indicators for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 include the following:

Executive Summary

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated net income of $26 million and $56 million on $539 million and $1,012 million in revenue, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased $139 million or 34.8% and increased $251 million or 33.0%, respectively, and net income increased $28 million and $68 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company generated an operating profit of $29 million and $52 million, respectively, compared to an operating profit of nil and operating loss of $8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021.

Outlook

Our outlook for the Company remains tied to crude oil and natural gas commodity prices, global oil and gas drilling and completions activity, oil and gas spending, and global demand for oil, its refined petroleum products, crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production and decline rates. Crude oil and natural gas prices as well as crude oil and natural gas storage levels are primary catalysts for determining customer activity.

Continuing to the date of this filing, uncertainty still exists concerning the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy and global oil and gas demand as countries and regions address varying caseloads. In addition, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response to this conflict have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. Amid these dynamics, we will continue to support our customers, optimize our operations, advance our strategic goals and manage the Company based on market conditions. To navigate this environment, we have undergone a significant cost transformation by taking decisive actions to cut costs, accelerate structural changes and deploy various technologies to optimize processes, increase productivity and continue to support our customers and grow revenue. We will continue to adapt and position the Company for the market ahead. As conditions evolve, our response may result in various charges in future periods.

We see the rise in energy transition investments as an opportunity for us to supply many of the current products and services we provide, as well as an opportunity to partner and source from new suppliers to expand our offering, to meet our customers’ needs for their energy transition investments. A number of our larger customers are leading the investments in energy transition projects where we expect to continue to supply them while expanding our offerings to meet their changing requirements. We are also targeting new customers that are not traditional oil and gas customers, but are those that will play a part in the future of energy transition.

United States

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $408 million and $742 million, an increase of $112 million or 37.8% and an increase of $194 million or 35.4%, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increases were primarily driven by the strengthening in U.S. drilling and completions activity.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the U.S. generated an operating profit of $32 million and $46 million, an improvement of $35 million and $62 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, operating profit increased primarily due to the increase in revenue discussed above, coupled with improved product margins.

19

 


 

Canada

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $72 million and $154 million, an increase of $21 million or 41.2% and $45 million or 41.3%, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increases were primarily driven by the increase in Canadian rig count.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Canada generated an operating profit of $6 million and $13 million, an increase of $4 million and $7 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, operating profit increased primarily due to the increases in revenue discussed above, partially offset by reductions in the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy.

International

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $59 million and $116 million, an increase of $6 million or 11.3% and $12 million or 11.5%, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increases were primarily driven by the increase in International rig count and stronger project activity, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the International segment generated an operating loss of $9 million and $7 million, a decline of $10 million and $9 million, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we substantially completed the liquidation of various foreign subsidiaries in Russia, Latin America and the Middle East. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, these liquidations resulted in a reclassification of $10 million foreign currency translation losses into earnings, reflected in impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cost of products

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, cost of products was $411 million and $777 million, respectively, compared to $315 million and $601 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increases were primarily due to the increases in revenue in the periods. Cost of products includes the cost of inventory sold and related items, such as vendor consideration, inventory allowances, amortization of intangibles and inbound and outbound freight.

Warehousing, selling and administrative expenses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, warehousing, selling and administrative expenses were $89 million and $173 million, respectively, compared to $85 million and $164 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the increases were primarily driven by reductions in government wage subsidies and bad debt recoveries realized in the corresponding periods of 2021. Warehousing, selling and administrative expenses include branch location, distribution center and regional expenses (including costs such as compensation, benefits and rent) as well as corporate general selling and administrative expenses.

Impairment and other charges

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, impairment and other charges were $10 million in both periods, compared to nil and $4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $10 million of foreign currency translation losses as a result of substantially completing the liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries in the International segment.

Other income (expense)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and income of $9 million, respectively, compared to other expenses of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, other expense was primarily related to unfavorable foreign exchange rate impacts. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, other income was primarily attributable to a benefit of approximately $13 million related to the decrease of contingent consideration liability associated with a prior year acquisition.

20

 


 

Income tax provision

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were 7.1% and 8.2%, respectively, compared to (88.9%) and (14.8%), respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2021. In general, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to recurring items, such as differing tax rates on income earned in foreign jurisdictions, nondeductible expenses, state income taxes and the change in valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the recognition of tax expense from earnings in Canada offset by current year realization of deferred tax assets and corresponding release of valuation allowance in the U.S., as well as impairment charges incurred as a result of substantially completing the liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries with no associated tax benefit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Reconciliation

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results of operations as determined by GAAP, we disclose non-GAAP financial measures. The primary non-GAAP financial measure we disclose is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding other costs (“EBITDA excluding other costs”). This financial measure excludes the impact of certain amounts and is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, to its most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included below.

We use EBITDA excluding other costs internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s ongoing economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results. In an effort to better align with management’s evaluation of the Company’s performance and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies, beginning for the year ended December 31, 2021, EBITDA excluding other costs excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Prior periods presented have been adjusted to conform with the current period presentation.

The following table sets forth the reconciliations of EBITDA excluding other costs to the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in millions):

(1)
We believe that net income (loss) is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA excluding other costs. EBITDA excluding other costs measures the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA excluding other costs is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA excluding other costs may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA excluding other costs has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, Other primarily included approximately $10 million of impairment and other charges related to the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as, approximately $2 million in separation and transaction-related charges, which were included in operating profit. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Other primarily included approximately $10 million of impairment and other charges discussed above, as well as, approximately $4 million in separation and transaction-related charges, partially offset by a benefit of approximately $13 million related to the decrease of contingent consideration liability, which was included in other income.

EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund operating, investing and financing activities. We expect resources to be available to reinvest in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and capital expenditures to meet short and long-term objectives. We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from expected results of operations and amounts available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund operations, anticipated working capital needs and other cash requirements, including capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $232 million and $313 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, $88 million of our cash and cash equivalents were maintained in the accounts of our various foreign subsidiaries. During the first six months of 2022, we repatriated $10 million from our Canadian operations. The Company makes a determination each period concerning its intent and ability to indefinitely reinvest the cash held by its foreign subsidiaries. The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes on undistributed foreign earnings that it considers to be indefinitely reinvested. Future changes to our indefinite reinvestment assertion could result in additional taxes (withholding and/or state taxes), offset by any available foreign tax credits.

We maintain a $500 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility that will mature on December 14, 2026. Availability under the revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base comprised of eligible receivables, eligible inventory and certain pledged deposits in the U.S. and Canada. As of June 30, 2022, we had no borrowings against our revolving credit facility, and had approximately $454 million in availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) resulting in the excess availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 99%, subject to certain restrictions. Availability excluding certain cash deposits was approximately $342 million. Borrowings that result in the excess availability dropping below the greater of 10% of the borrowing base or $40 million are conditioned upon compliance with or waiver of a minimum fixed charge ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The credit facility contains usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type including financial covenants. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants. We continuously monitor compliance with debt covenants. A default, if not waived or amended, would prevent us from taking certain actions, such as incurring additional debt.

We are often party to certain transactions that require off-balance sheet arrangements such as standby letters of credit and performance
bonds and guarantees that are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. These arrangements are made in our normal course of
business and they are not reasonably likely to have a current or future material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity or cash flows.
 

The following table summarizes our net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods presented (in millions):

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $51 million compared to $4 million provided by operating activities in the corresponding period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a net increase in working capital as a result of growing market activity, partially offset by improved operating results.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $25 million compared to $98 million used in investing activities in the corresponding period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a business acquisition of $21 million and capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was nil compared to $1 million used in financing activities in the corresponding period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the activity was attributed to the Company making payments of $2 million relating to its finance lease arrangements offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options.

Other

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the effect of the change in exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents was a decrease of $5 million compared to an increase of $1 million for the corresponding period of 2021.

Capital Spending

We intend to pursue additional acquisition candidates, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We continue to expect to fund future cash acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and the usage of the available portion of the revolving credit facility. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at terms acceptable to us.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 3, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $80 million of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In preparing the financial statements, the Company makes assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. The Company periodically evaluates its estimates and judgments that are most critical in nature, which are related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, goodwill and long-lived assets, contingent consideration, purchase price allocation of acquisitions, vendor consideration and income taxes. Its estimates are based on historical experience and on its future expectations that the Company believes are reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial instruments and arise from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk but do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. We do not currently have any material outstanding derivative instruments. See Note 12 “Derivative Financial Instruments” to the consolidated financial statements.

A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have operations in foreign countries and transact business globally in multiple currencies. Our net assets as well as our revenues and costs and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. Because we operate globally and approximately 30% of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were outside the U.S., foreign currency exchange rates can impact our financial position, results of operations and competitive position. We are a net receiver of foreign currencies and, therefore, benefit from a weakening of the U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. As of June 30, 2022, our most significant foreign currency exposure was to the Canadian dollar, followed by the British pound, with less significant foreign currency exposure to the Australian dollar.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents at end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, while revenue, costs and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are components of other comprehensive income (loss) as reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Upon closure of a foreign subsidiary, the accumulated translation gains and losses relating to the foreign subsidiary are reclassified into earnings, reflected in impairment and other charges in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reported a net foreign currency translation gain totaling $3 million, primarily related to a $10 million reclassification partially offset by the foreign currency translation loss of $7 million. The reclassification was a result of substantially completing the liquidation of certain foreign subsidiaries in our International segment.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations generally do not materially affect our earnings since the functional currency is typically the local currency; however, our operations also have net assets not denominated in their functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact our net income as foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we reported foreign currency transaction losses of $1 million and less than $1 million, respectively. Gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and fair value adjustments to economically hedged positions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Some of the revenues for our foreign operations are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact earnings to the extent that costs associated with those U.S. dollar revenues are denominated in the local currency. Similarly, some of our revenues for our foreign operations are denominated in foreign currencies, but have associated U.S. dollar costs, which also give rise to foreign currency exchange rate exposure. In order to mitigate those risks, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to better match the currency of the revenues and the associated costs. Although we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge certain foreign currency denominated balances or transactions, we do not currently hedge the net investments in our foreign operations. The counterparties to our forward contracts are major financial institutions. The credit ratings and concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored by us on a continuing basis. In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of a foreign currency contract, our exposure is limited to the foreign currency rate differential.

The average foreign exchange rate for the first six months of 2022 compared to the average for the corresponding period of 2021 decreased by approximately 3% compared to the U.S. dollar based on the aggregated weighted average revenue of our foreign-currency denominated foreign operations. The Canadian dollar, British pound and Australian dollar decreased in relation to the U.S. dollar by approximately 2%, approximately 6% and approximately 7%, respectively.

We utilized a sensitivity analysis to measure the potential impact on earnings based on a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency rates. A 10% change from the levels experienced during the first six months of 2022 of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies that affected the Company would have resulted in $1 million change in net income for the same period.

Commodity Steel Pricing

Our business is sensitive to steel prices, which can impact our product pricing, with steel tubular prices generally having the highest degree of sensitivity. While we cannot predict steel prices, we mitigate this risk by managing our inventory levels, including maintaining sufficient quantity on hand to meet demand, while limiting the risk of overstocking.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
