The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the unaudited interim related disclosures in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate. The results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets 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. Some of the Company’s more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories and contingent liabilities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues through the sale of products, the sale of services and the leasing of installation tools. The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, rental tools and services separately. Modifications to the scope and price of sales contracts may occur in the form of variations and change orders. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may instead choose to use a third party or its own personnel.
Product and Service Revenues
Product and service revenues are recognized as the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control of the promised good or service to the customer. Revenues are measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and exclude sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. In addition, some customers may impose contractually negotiated penalties for late delivery that are excluded from the transaction price.
Management has elected to utilize certain practical expedients allowed under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. Shipping and handling activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the good are accounted for as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good and thus are excluded from the transaction price.
Product revenues
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
•
product revenues are recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer; and
product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the over time method are recognized as point in time.
Revenues recognized under the over time method
The Company uses the over time method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
the contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
the structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration;
the contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates;
product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory; and
The Company has an enforceable right to payment for any work completed to date and the enforceable payment includes a reasonable profit margin.
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percentage complete and applies the
percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs to be recognized. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Company’s estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the over time method, billings may not correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, receivables included $66.7 million and $57.0 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, there were 21 projects representing approximately 18.0% of the Company's total revenues and approximately 26.0% of its product revenues that were accounted for using the over time method, compared to eight projects for the first quarter of 2018, which represented approximately 11.0% of the Company's total revenues and approximately 16.0% of its product revenues.
Revenues recognized under the point in time method
Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the over time method, are recorded at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the promised asset and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. This point in time recognition aligns with the time of shipment, which is when the Company typically has a present right to payment, title transfers to the customer, the customer or its carrier has physical possession and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company may provide product storage to some customers. Revenues for these products are recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer, the reason for storage is requested by the customer, the product is separately identified, the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer and the Company does not have the ability to use or direct the use of the product. This point in time typically occurs when the products are moved to storage. We receive payment after control of the products has transferred to the customer.
Service revenues
The Company recognizes service revenues from two sources:
technical advisory assistance; and
rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products.
The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over time method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel. The contracts for these services are typically considered day-to-day.
Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded using the over time method based on the remaining steps that need to be completed as the refurbishment process is performed. The measurement of progress considers, among other things, the time necessary for completion of each step in the reconditioning plan, the materials to be purchased, labor and ordering procedures. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly).
Lease revenues
The Company earns lease revenues from the rental of running tools. Rental revenues are recognized within leasing revenues on a day rate basis over the lease term, which is generally between one to three months.
Practical Expedients
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
10
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.
Restructuring and Other Charges
In the third quarter of 2018, we initiated a global strategic plan to better align our operations with current market conditions. As a result of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred restructuring and other charges of approximately $2.4 million primarily related to employee termination benefits and consulting fees, which are included in "Selling, general and administrative" in our accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).
Treasury Shares
The Company continues to evaluate current market conditions on an on-going basis as it relates to executing its share buyback program. On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase plan has no set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 28,078 shares under the share repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $39.74 per share totaling approximately $1.1 million and has retired such shares.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method.
In each relevant period, the net income used in the basic and dilutive earnings per share calculations is the same. The following table reconciles the weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average diluted number of common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic
Dilutive effect of common stock options and awards
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has excluded the following common stock options and awards because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive (in thousands on a weighted average basis):
Director stock awards

Reclassifications. As a result of our global business transformation, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as it related to product engineering and quality assurance cost. We reclassified approximately $5.0 million of engineering cost from our engineering and product development cost and approximately $0.7 million of quality assurance cost from selling, general and administrative to product cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018. These reclassifications did not have an impact on our Net Income, Balance Sheets, Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Statement of Equity and Statement of Cash Flows. Engineering cost and quality assurance cost were approximately $4.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
3. New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets (right of use) and lease obligations (lease liability) for leases previously classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Please see Note 9, “Leases”, for a discussion of the impact related to the adoption of this standard.

Receivables, which are included in trade receivables, net, were $195.0 million and $120.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The amount of revenues from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was $15.4 million. The contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments from customers and are included in "Customer prepayments" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the over time method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and is included in "Trade receivables, net" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional.
Obligations for returns and refunds were considered immaterial as of March 31, 2019.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations from our reconditioning services and over time product lines was $67.7 million as of March 31, 2019. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 51.4% and 100.0% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively.
The Company applies the practical expedient available under the revenue standard and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
5. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $4.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, which includes approximately $1.8 million related to accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards of our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him. The stock based compensation is included in "Selling, general and administrative" in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and "Additional paid-in capital" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, compared to $4.0 million recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2018. No stock-based compensation expense was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

7. Goodwill
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:
Carrying Value
Foreign Currency
January 1, 2019
Translation
Eastern Hemisphere
66
Western Hemisphere
Asia-Pacific
The Company performs its annual impairment tests of goodwill as of October 1 or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. As of March 31, 2019, there were no indications an impairment may have occurred.
The fair values used in the goodwill impairment assessment were determined using the net present value of the expected future cash flows for the reporting unit. During the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit, as a whole, using a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires significant assumptions and estimates about future operations. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our current budget for the remainder of the current year, 2020 and for future periods, as well as our strategic plans and management’s beliefs about future exploration and development in the industry. Changes in management's forecast commodity price assumptions may cause us to reassess our goodwill for impairment and could result in non-cash impairment charges in the future.

9. Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the package of practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. The impact of the adoption of ASC 842, as of January 1, 2019, was approximately $5.5 million to our assets, approximately $1.6 million to our current liability and approximately $3.9 million to our long-term liability.
Under the transition method selected by the Company, leases expiring at, or entered into after, January 1, 2019 were required to be recognized and measured. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company's historical accounting under ASC 840. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, with no related impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity or Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). Short-term leases have not been recorded on the balance sheet.
We lease facilities related to sales and service, manufacturing, reconditioning, certain office spaces, apartments and warehouse, all of which we classify as operating leases. In addition, we also lease certain office equipment and vehicles, which we classify as financing leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; short-term lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.5 million.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term on a monthly, annual or longer basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised.
Certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company leases certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment. Future annual minimum lease commitments at December 31, 2018 are as follows: 2019 - $2.0 million; 2020 - $1.5 million; 2021 - $0.8 million; 2022 - $.05 million; 2023 - $0.4 million; and thereafter - $4.2 million.
10. Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW and Honing, Inc., as guarantors, entered into a five -year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million, including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
All obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company, TIW, Honing, Inc., and future significant domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s personal property, and bear interest at the Company’s option at either (i) the CB Floating Rate (as defined therein), calculated as the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, with such CB Floating Rate not being less than Adjusted One Month LIBOR (as defined therein) or (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR (as defined therein), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for CBFR loans and 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. Interest on Eurodollar loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on CB Floating Rate loans is payable monthly in arrears.
The ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments or loans and create liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The ABL Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0, based on the ratio of EBITDA (as defined therein) to Fixed Charges (as defined therein) during certain periods, including when availability under the ABL Credit Facility is under certain levels. If the Company fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the commitments under the ABL Credit Facility could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The ABL Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to the Company’s other indebtedness. The Company is in compliance with the related covenants as of March 31, 2019.
As of March 31, 2019, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $40.0 million, after taking into account the outstanding letters of credit of approximately $2.0 million issued under the facility.

The Company’s operations are organized into three geographic segments - Western Hemisphere (including North and South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its regional headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil.
Eliminations of operating profits are related to intercompany inventory transfers that are deferred until shipment is made to third party customers.
12. Income Tax
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was -62.7%, compared to -64.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 is the result of net tax expense recorded against a pre-tax loss for the period. The change in the effective tax
18
rate between the periods was primarily a result of increased valuation allowances in the U.S. and in various foreign countries, changes in nondeductible expenses, and mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil and subsequently transferred them to its facility in the State of Rio de Janeiro. During that period, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary paid taxes to the State of Espirito Santo on its imports. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Company’s understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two assessments totaling approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Company has objected to these assessments on the grounds that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed appeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul both of these tax assessments following rulings against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council. In connection with those appeals, the Company deposited with the court a total amount of approximately $8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessments with penalties and interest. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the judicial court process is probable. Based upon this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
Since 2007, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary has paid taxes on the importation of goods directly to the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Company does not expect any similar issues to exist for periods subsequent to 2007.
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, certain of the Company’s products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, property damage and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future developments will not adversely impact the Company.
The Company is also involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected aspects of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere herein as well as the discussion under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Overview
Oil and Gas Prices
The market for drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent Crude oil prices per barrel are listed below for the periods covered by this report:

According to the March 2019 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent Crude oil prices are projected to average approximately $63.0 per barrel in 2019 and $62.0 per barrel in 2020, compared with an average of $71.0 per barrel in 2018. In its March 2019 Oil Market Report, the International Energy Agency projected the 2019 global oil demand will grow to 100.6 million barrels per day, a 1.4 million barrels per day increase over 2018.
Offshore Rig Count
Detailed below is the average contracted offshore rig count (rigs currently drilling as well as rigs committed, but not yet drilling) for the Company’s geographic regions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The rig count data includes floating rigs (semi-submersibles and drillships) and jack-up rigs. The Company has included only these types of rigs as they are the primary assets used to deploy the Company’s products.

Source: IHS—Petrodata RigBase – March 31, 2019 and 2018
According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of March 31, 2019, there were 504 contracted rigs for the Company’s geographic regions (153 floating rigs and 351 jack-up rigs), which represents a 7.7% increase from the rig count of 468 rigs (147 floating rigs and 321 jack-up rigs) as of March 31, 2018.
The Company believes that the number of rigs (semi-submersibles, drillships and jack-up rigs) under construction impacts its backlog and resulting revenues because in certain cases, its customers order some of the Company’s products during the construction of such rigs. As a result, an increase in rig construction activity tends to favorably impact the Company’s backlog while a decrease in rig construction activity tends to negatively impact the Company’s backlog. According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 103 and 132 rigs, respectively, under construction, which represents an approximate 22% decrease in rigs under construction. The expected delivery dates for the rigs under construction at March 31, 2019 are as follows:

After 2022 or unspecified delivery date

However, given the slow recovery of oil and gas prices and oversupply of offshore drilling rigs, the Company believes it is possible that delivery of some rigs under construction could be postponed or cancelled, limiting the opportunity for supply of the Company’s products.
Regulation
The demand for the Company’s products and services is also affected by laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of new laws and regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations that curtail exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons, could adversely affect the Company’s operations by limiting demand for its products.
In March 2018, the President of the United States issued a proclamation imposing a 25 percent global tariff on imports of certain steel products, effective March 23, 2018. The President subsequently proposed an additional 25 percent tariff on approximately $50 billion worth of imports from China, and the government of China responded with a proposal of an additional 25 percent tariff on U.S. goods with a value of $50 billion. The initial U.S. tariffs were
21
implemented on July 6, 2018, covering $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, with another $16 billion of goods facing tariffs beginning on August 23, 2018.
In September 2018, the President directed the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to place additional tariffs on approximately $200 billion worth of additional imports from China. These tariffs, which took effect on September 24, 2018, initially have been set at a level of 10 percent until the end of the year, at which point the tariffs were to rise to 25 percent. However, on December 19, 2018, USTR postponed the date on which the rate of the additional duties will increase to 25 percent until March 2, 2019. On March 5, 2019, USTR officially announced that the rate of additional duty will remain at 10% until further notice.
In November 2018, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the successor agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which still requires ratification by the respective governments of all three signatories before going into effect. The President has indicated that he may withdraw the United States from NAFTA to encourage the U.S. Congress to vote on ratification of the USMCA.
If the President imposes additional tariffs on China or withdraws from or replaces NAFTA, or if any additional tariffs or trade restrictions are initiated by or against the United States, such action could cause our cost of raw materials to increase or affect the markets for our products. However, given the uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of these trade actions by the United States and other countries, their ultimate impact on our business and operations remains uncertain.
Business Environment
Oil and gas prices and the level of drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political, economic and other events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices have resulted in a trend of customers seeking to renegotiate contract terms with the Company, including reductions in the prices of its products and services, extensions of delivery terms and, in some instances, contract cancellations or revisions. In some cases, a customer may already hold an inventory of the Company’s equipment, which may delay the placement of new orders. In addition, some of the Company’s customers could experience liquidity or solvency issues or could otherwise be unable or unwilling to perform under a contract, which could ultimately lead a customer to enter bankruptcy or otherwise encourage a customer to seek to repudiate, cancel or renegotiate a contract. An extended period of reduced crude oil and natural gas prices may accelerate these trends. If the Company experiences significant contract terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to its contracts, then its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
The Company expects continued pressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, seek to renegotiate contract terms, including the price of products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. Lower drilling and production activity had a negative impact on the Company’s results during the first quarter of 2019, but is expected to improve slightly in certain markets during the remainder of 2019. A prolonged delay in the recovery of commodity prices could also lead to further material impairment charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. These risks include nationalization, expropriation, war, acts of terrorism and civil disturbance, restrictive action by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in foreign taxation, including changes in laws or differing interpretations of existing laws, and change in currency exchange rates, any of which could have an adverse effect on either the Company’s ability to manufacture its products in its facilities abroad or the demand in certain regions for the Company’s products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any
22
significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Company’s international operations could have a material adverse effect on its overall operations.
The Company believes that its backlog should help mitigate the impact of negative market conditions; however, slow recovery in the commodity prices or an extended downturn in the global economy or future restrictions on, or declines in, oil and gas exploration and production could have a negative impact on the Company and its backlog. The Company’s product backlog at March 31, 2019 was approximately $303.7 million, compared to approximately $270.0 million at December 31, 2018, and $266.7 million at March 31, 2018.

(1) The backlog data shown above includes all bookings as of March 31, 2019, including contract awards and signed purchase orders for which the contracts would not be considered enforceable or qualify for the practical expedient under ASC 606. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $82.0 million related to contract awards is included in our backlog. As a result, this table above will not agree to the disclosed performance obligations of $67.0 million within "Revenue Recognition (Adoption of ASC 606)", Note 4 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser (TTR) systems and related services for the development of the Ca Rong Do Project (CRD Project) located offshore Vietnam operated by Repsol with the participation of Mubadala, PVEP and PetroVietnam. The CRD Project is included within the backlog balance presented in the table above; however, due to ongoing territorial discussions between China and Vietnam, the CRD Project may experience continued delays or cancellation. The letter of award for the CRD Project has been extended until December 31, 2019.
In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), Brazil’s national oil company, which was amended in 2016 to extend the term of the contract through July 2020. As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s backlog included $7.9 million of purchase orders under this Petrobras contract. The Company has not yet recognized revenue of approximately $1.3 million as of March 31, 2019 for certain items of equipment that were completed but not yet accepted for delivery by Petrobras. If Petrobras does not ultimately accept these items for delivery or if they refuse to accept these or similar items completed in the future, the Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected. As part of the amendment to extend the term of the contract, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately $24.5 million (based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $24.5 million of the purchase orders have been issued (based on current exchange rates).
As of March 31, 2018, the total number of the Company's employees was 1,964, of which 1,028 were located in the United States. The total number of the Company’s employees as of December 31, 2018 was 1,926, of which 946
were located in the United States. As a result of natural attrition and reductions in workforce, the total number of employees as of March 31, 2019 was 1,850, of which 823 were located in the United States.
The June 23, 2016 referendum by British voters to exit the European Union (Brexit), and the uncertainty that has followed, has adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound sterling, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates could be expected to continue in the short term as the United Kingdom (U.K.) negotiates and seeks U.K. Parliamentary approval for its terms of exit from the European Union. A weaker British pound sterling compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period would cause local currency results of the Company's U.K. operations to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Continued adverse consequences such as deterioration in economic conditions and volatility in currency exchange rates could have a negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. See “Our international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows" under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
In the third quarter of 2018, we initiated a global strategic plan to better align our operations with current market conditions, with a target annualized cost savings of $40 - $50 million. This analysis resulted in annualized cost savings of approximately $16 million during the fourth quarter of 2018. We expect these cost savings to continue for the remainder of 2019.
Revenues. Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance and rental tools during installation and retrieval of the Company’s products. Additionally, the Company earns service revenues when rework and reconditioning services are provided. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company derived 69.4% and 71.6%, respectively, of its revenues from the sale of its products, 19.6% and 17.6%, respectively, of its revenue from services, and 11.0% and 10.8%, respectively, of its revenues from leasing. Service revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services and rental of running tools during installation. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 62.1% and 52.0% of its revenues derived from foreign sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The majority of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 37.9% and 48.0% of the Company’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Product contracts are generally negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the customer as a condition of the sale of the Company’s products. The demand for products and services is generally based on worldwide economic conditions in the oil and gas industry and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred due to the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Company’s products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including global oil prices, competitive pricing pressure, the level of utilized capacity in the oil service sector, preservation of market share, the introduction of new products and overall market conditions.
The Company accounts for more complex, customer specific projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on an over time basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 21 projects representing approximately 18.0% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 26.0% of its product revenues that were accounted for using over time accounting, compared to eight projects for the first quarter of 2018, which represented approximately 11.0% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 16.0% of its product revenues. These percentages may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete, which is used to determine the revenue earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated cost of sales to be recognized. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such
24
estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability.
Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials, manufacturing overhead, and application engineering expenses related to customized products. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is influenced by the product mix sold in any particular period, costs from projects accounted for under the over time method, over/under manufacturing overhead absorption, pricing and market conditions. The Company’s costs related to its foreign operations do not significantly differ from its domestic costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with sales and marketing, general corporate overhead, business development expenses, compensation expense, stock-based compensation expense, legal expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other related administrative functions.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product development and testing.
Gain on sale of assets. Gain on sale of assets consists of sales of certain property, plant and equipment. There were no significant sales of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Income Tax Provision. The Company’s effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, impact of valuation allowances, and other differences related to the recognition of income and expense between U.S. GAAP and applicable tax rules.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Revenues. Revenues decreased by $4.9 million, or approximately 4.9%, to $94.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $99.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in demand for exploration and production equipment. Product revenues decreased by approximately $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 as a result of decreased revenues of $2.7 million in subsea equipment and $6.9 million in surface equipment, partially offset by increased revenues of $3.3 million in downhole tools and $0.6 million in offshore rig equipment. Product revenues increased in Asia-Pacific by $1.7 million, offset by a decrease in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres of $6.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. While the rise in oil and gas prices has resulted in slightly increased demand for exploration and production equipment in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres during the quarter, which was partially offset by the Kangean project coming to completion in Asia-Pacific. In any given time period, the revenues recognized between the various product lines and geographic areas will vary depending upon the timing of shipments to customers, completion status of the projects accounted for under the over time accounting method, market conditions and customer demand. Service revenues increased by approximately $1.0 million resulting from increased service revenues in the Asia-Pacific and Western Hemisphere of $1.2 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in the Eastern Hemisphere of approximately $1.0 million. The majority of the increases in service revenues related to increased technical advisory assistance and reconditioning of customer-owned property.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $4.1 million, or approximately 5.6%, to $69.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $73.5 million for the same period in 2018. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was relatively flat at 73.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs related to our forge operations were approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 21, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3.0 million, or 10.9%, to $24.5 million from $27.5 million for the same period in 2018, primarily due to a decrease in selling expense and foreign exchange gain.
Restructuring and Other Charges. In the third quarter of 2018, we initiated a global strategic plan to better align our operations with current market conditions. As a result of this plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we incurred restructuring and other charges of approximately $2.4 million related to consulting fees, and an approximate $1.1 million payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him. We believe that our plan will be finalized by mid-2019 and that we will incur additional charges with respect to this plan.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, engineering and product development expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 18.1%, to $3.6 million from $4.4 million for the same period in 2018.
Gain on Sale of Assets. There were no significant sales of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $2.3 million on a loss before taxes of $3.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of -62.7%. Income tax expense for the three months
26
ended March 31, 2018 was $2.9 million on a loss before taxes of $4.5 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately -64.7%. The change in the effective tax rate between the periods was primarily a result of increased valuation allowances in the U.S. and in various foreign countries, changes in nondeductible expenses, and mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.
Net Loss. Net loss was approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $7.4 million for the same period in 2018 for the reasons set forth above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have performed a detailed analysis of the non-GAAP measures that are relevant to our business and its operations and determined that the appropriate unit of measure to analyze our performance is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as other significant non-cash items and other adjustments for certain charges and credits). The Company believes that the exclusion of these charges and credits from these financial measures enables it to evaluate more effectively the Company's operations period over period and to identify operating trends that could otherwise be masked by excluded items. It is our determination that Adjusted EBITDA is a more relevant measure of how the Company reviews its ability to meet commitments and pursue capital projects.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as one of the indicators to evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure from our operating structure. This measurement is used in concert with net income and cash flows from operations, which measures actual cash generated in the period. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measurement tool used by analysts and investors to help evaluate overall operating performance, ability to pursue and service possible debt opportunities and analyze possible future capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for our discretionary use and is not intended to represent or to be used as a substitute for net income, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but included in the calculation of reported net income, are significant components of the consolidated statements of income and must be considered in performing a comprehensive assessment of overall financial performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with calculations of Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies.
The following table reconciles our reported net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the respective periods:
Add:

Adjusted EBITDA does not measure financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
Cash flows provided by (used in) type of activity were as follows:
(3,464
940
Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that are local currency functional exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given period, as these are non-cash 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.
The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital expenditures to improve and expand facilities and manufacture additional running tools and (ii) to fund working capital. The Company’s principal source of funds is cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had availability of $40.0 million under the ABL Credit Facility.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.8 million as compared to $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. The net change is primarily due to a decrease in the net loss in the first quarter of 2019 of $1.3 million, an increase in restructuring and other charges of $1.3 million and an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.9 million, offset by a decreased change in operating activities of $13.4 million.
The change in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 resulted in a $6.8 million decrease in cash. The increase in trade receivables resulted in decreased cash flow of $5.6 million. The increase in inventory resulted in decreased cash flow of $2.7 million. The decrease in prepaids and other assets increased operating cash flow by $16.0 million. The decrease in trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in decreased operating cash flow of $14.5 million.
The change in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 resulted in a $7.1 million increase in cash. Trade receivables increased $1.2 million as a result of increased revenue accruals related to reconditioning revenue in March 2018. The decrease in inventory resulted in increased cash flow of $17.2 million. Prepaids and other assets decreased operating cash flow by $4.1 million due to increases in vendor prepayments. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by approximately $7.4 million primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable of $7.8 million, partially offset by increased accrued expenses of $0.8 million.
The change in investing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 resulted in a $3.2 million decrease to cash. Capital expenditures by the Company were $3.5 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $0.8 million for buildings, $1.2 million for rental tools and $1.1 million for machinery and equipment. The capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $2.2 million for machinery and equipment, $6.0 million for facilities, $2.0 million for rental tools and $0.4 million for other capital expenditures.
Repurchase of Equity Securities
On February 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company can repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. The repurchase plan has no set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 28,078 shares under the share repurchase plan at an average price of approximately $39.74 per share totaling approximately $1.1 million and has retired such shares.
28
Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility
On February 23, 2018, the Company, as borrower, and the Company’s subsidiaries TIW Corporation and Honing, Inc., as guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million, including up to $10.0 million available for letters of credit. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to the borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves and other adjustments.
As of March 31, 2019, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $40.0 million, after taking into account the outstanding letters of credit of approximately $2.0 million issued under the facility. For additional information on the ABL Credit Facility, see " Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility" Note 10 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company currently has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements, contracts or operations.
Other Matters
From time to time, the Company enters into discussions or negotiations to acquire other businesses or enter into joint ventures. The timing, size or success of any such efforts and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and dependent on market conditions and opportunities existing at the time. The Company may seek to fund all or part of any such efforts with proceeds from debt or equity issuances. Debt or equity financing may not, however, be available at that time due to a variety of events, including, among others, the Company’s credit ratings, industry conditions, general economic conditions and market conditions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting policies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is currently exposed to certain market risks related to interest rate changes on its short-term investments and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such transactions. There have been no material changes in market risks for the Company since December 31, 2018.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The Company has operations in various countries around the world and conducts business in a number of different currencies. Our significant foreign subsidiaries may also have monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency. These monetary assets and liabilities are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates which may result in non-cash gains and losses primarily due to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and each subsidiary's functional currency.
The Company experienced a foreign currency pre-tax gain of approximately $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 and a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million in the same period of 2018. These losses and gains were primarily due to the exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various currencies within the foreign regions where we do business.
The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the effects and risks inherent in such transactions. Additionally, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
The adoption of the new lease guidance under ASC 842 required the implementation of new accounting policies and processes, including changes to our information systems, which changed the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
There has been no other change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “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”). Statements contained in all parts of this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dril-Quip”). You can identify the Company’s forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “project,” “believe” and similar expressions, or by the Company’s discussion of strategies or trends. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements include the following types of information and statements as they relate to the Company:
future operating results and cash flow;
scheduled, budgeted and other future capital expenditures;
planned or estimated cost savings;
working capital requirements;
the need for and the availability of expected sources of liquidity;
the introduction into the market of the Company’s future products;
the market for the Company’s existing and future products;
the Company’s ability to develop new applications for its technologies;
the exploration, development and production activities of the Company’s customers;
compliance with present and future environmental regulations and costs associated with environmentally related penalties, capital expenditures, remedial actions and proceedings;
effects of pending legal proceedings;
changes in customers’ future product and service requirements that may not be cost effective or within the Company’s capabilities; and
future operations, financial results, business plans and cash needs.
These statements are based on assumptions and analysis in light of the Company’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Company believes were appropriate in the circumstances when the statements were made. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the following:
the volatility of oil and natural gas prices;
the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry;
uncertainties associated with the United States and worldwide economies;
uncertainties regarding political tensions in the Middle East, South America, Africa and elsewhere;
current and potential governmental regulatory actions in the United States and regulatory actions and political unrest in other countries;
uncertainties regarding future oil and gas exploration and production activities, including new regulations, customs requirements and product testing requirements;
32
operating interruptions (including explosions, fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, spills and releases and other environmental risks);
project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to contracts reflected in the Company’s backlog;
the Company’s reliance on product development;
technological developments;
the Company’s reliance on third-party technologies
acquisition and merger activities involving the Company or its competitors;
the Company’s dependence on key employees and skilled machinists, fabricators and technical personnel;
the Company’s reliance on sources of raw materials, including any increase in steel costs or decreases in steel supply as a result of global tariffs on certain imported steel mill products;
impact of environmental matters, including future environmental regulations;
competitive products and pricing pressures;
fluctuations in foreign currency, including those attributable to the Brexit;
the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to set and maintain production levels and pricing;
the Company’s reliance on significant customers;
creditworthiness of the Company’s customers;
fixed-price contracts;
changes in general economic, market or business conditions;
access to capital markets;
negative outcome of litigation, threatened litigation or government proceedings;
terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances; and
changes to, and differing interpretations of, tax laws with respect to our operations and subsidiaries.
Many of such factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Any of the factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect the Company’s future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels. Every forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.
