Market conditions

The demand for our products and services is directly linked to the capital and operating budgets of our customers. These budgets are heavily influenced by current and forecast energy prices. In addition, demand for our bullion products is driven by the use of service company equipment. Usage is subject to equipment capability and durability in demanding environments.


In 2021, distribution of vaccines and reopening of certain economies led to an
increase in demand for oil and natural gas following an unprecedented decline
from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the supply of oil and natural gas
was impacted by ongoing capacity constraints by OPEC+ and North American
exploration and production companies. As a result of these supply and demand
factors, commodity prices increased substantially in 2021.

During the first half of 2022, the supply of oil and natural gas was further
impacted by political and social responses to the Russia and Ukraine war
resulting in further increases in energy prices, especially in Europe. In
addition, COVID-19 related shutdowns in China and worldwide labor constraints
continue to cause disruptions in global supply chains, which have led to
inflationary pressures. In response, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates
significantly in 2022 and further rate increases may occur. These macroeconomic
conditions could lead to a global or regional recession, which could lower
demand for commodities, such as oil and natural gas, and have a direct impact on
commodity prices.

Our revenues are highly correlated to the U.S. drilling rig count, which has
increased to 753 rigs as of the end of the second quarter 2022 from a low of 244
rigs in August 2020. The level of active hydraulic fracturing fleets has also
increased substantially in order to meet increasing oil and natural gas demand.
Despite these improvements, drilling and completions activity remains below
pre-pandemic levels. In addition, publicly owned exploration and production
companies in North America remain under pressure by investors to generate
positive cash flows and constrain capital expenditures. In contrast, privately
owned exploration and production companies in North America have increased their
drilling and completions activity in response to the higher oil and natural gas
price environment. It is expected that public and private exploration and
production companies will continue to make investments in a similar fashion for
the foreseeable future.

Activity levels also increased in international markets, as well as in global offshore and subsea activity. As a result, demand for our drilling and subsea equipment offerings has increased due to an improved outlook for our international drilling and subsea customers.

A substantial portion of our revenue is impacted by the level of rig activity
and the number of wells completed. The average U.S. rig count for the second
quarter 2022 was 13% and 58% higher compared to the first quarter 2022 and
second quarter 2021, respectively. The U.S. rig count started 2020 at 805
working rigs and fell 70% to a low of 244 rigs in August 2020. Since that time,
the number of active rigs has partially recovered, ending the second quarter
2022 at 753 rigs. Despite this improvement, the U.S. drilling rig count remains
below pre-pandemic levels.

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $172.2 million, an
increase of $34.8 million, or 25.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30,
2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our Drilling & Downhole,
Completions, and Production segments comprised 44.4%, 38.3%, and 17.3% of our
total revenue, respectively, which compared to 44.8%, 33.9%, and 21.3% of our
total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
overall increase in revenue is primarily related to higher sales volumes due to
higher drilling and completions activity levels in the second quarter 2022
compared to the second quarter 2021. The changes in revenue by operating segment
consisted of the following:

Drilling & Downhole segment - Revenue was $76.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $14.9 million, or 24.2%, compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was led by a $5.9 million, or
21.4%, increase in revenue for our Drilling Technologies product line due to
higher sales volumes of consumable products from the 31% year-over-year increase
in global rig count. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line
increased by $4.8 million, or 28.9%, primarily due to higher sales volumes of
artificial lift products due to the increase in the number of well completions
and workover activity in the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter
2021. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line increased by $4.2
million, or 24.2%, due to higher sales of ROVs and cable management systems into
domestic and international markets.

Completions segment - Revenue was $66.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022, an increase of $19.6 million, or 42.1%, compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2021. This significant improvement includes a revenue increase of
$13.0 million, or 53.3%, for our Stimulation & Intervention product line
primarily due to higher capital equipment sales to pressure pumping customers to
support increasing demand for hydraulic fracturing services. Revenue for our
Coiled Tubing product line increased by $6.6 million, or 29.7%, driven by
increasing U.S. hydraulic fracturing activity levels in the second quarter 2022
compared to the second quarter 2021.

Production segment - Revenue was $29.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022, an increase of $0.5 million, or 1.8%, compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2021. This increase was driven by a $1.5 million, or 12.7%,
increase in sales of our valve products, primarily due to higher sales volumes
into the North America downstream market, partially offset by a $1.0 million, or
(5.6)%, decrease in revenue for our Production Equipment product line from lower
project revenue for our process oil treatment equipment.

Segment operating profit (loss) and segment operating margin percentage


Segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $5.1
million, a $15.1 million improvement compared to a loss of $10.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022,
segment operating margin percentage was 2.9% compared to (7.3)% for the three
months ended June 30, 2021. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by
dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change
in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:

Drilling & Downhole segment - Segment operating income was $8.5 million, or
11.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to operating income of
$2.7 million, or 4.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $5.8
million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to
higher gross profit from the 24.2% increase in segment revenues, partially
offset by higher freight and employee related costs.

Completions segment - Segment operating income was $3.6 million, or 5.4%, for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to segment operating loss of $0.4
million, or (0.8)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $4.0 million
improvement in segment operating results was primarily due to higher gross
profit from the 42.1% increase in revenues discussed above, partially offset by
higher freight and employee related costs.

Production segment - Segment operating loss was $0.2 million, or (0.5)%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $4.0 million, or (13.8)%,
for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $3.9 million improvement in
segment operating results was driven by the 1.8% increase in revenues discussed
above as well as lower depreciation and other facility costs in connection with
cost reductions implemented in 2021. These improvements were partially offset by
higher freight and material costs as a result of inflationary pressures from
global supply chains.

Corporate - Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $6.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a $1.4 million increase
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily
related to higher variable compensation costs and professional fees. Corporate
costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management,
administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; professional fees
for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other items not included in segment operating income

Gain on disposal of assets and other is not included in segment operating income, but is included in total operating loss.

Other income and expenses


Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains and
other, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We incurred $7.8 million of interest
expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was flat compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The foreign exchange gains are primarily the result of movements in the British
pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in
exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary
assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location's
functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account
receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a
functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $41.5
million principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $41.2 million. The net carrying
value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt
issuance costs, was $37.0 million, resulting in a $4.2 million loss on
extinguishment of debt.

Taxes


We recorded tax expense of $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The estimated annual
effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were
impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not
available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period
to period depending on the Company's relative mix of earnings and losses by
jurisdiction.

Revenue


Our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $327.4 million, an
increase of $75.5 million, or 30.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30,
2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our Drilling & Downhole,
Completions, and Production segments comprised 45.1%, 36.2%, and 18.7% of our
total revenue, respectively, which compared to 43.8%, 33.4%, and 22.8% of our
total revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The overall
increase in revenue is related to higher sales volumes due to improving market
conditions in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021 as a
result of higher drilling and completions activity levels to support increasing
global energy demand. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of
the following:

Drilling & Downhole segment - Revenue was $147.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $37.5 million, or 34.0%, compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was led by revenue growth of $16.6
million, or 36.0%, in our Drilling Technologies product line from higher sales
of capital equipment and consumable products from the 36% year-over-year
increase in global rig count. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line
increased by $11.6 million, or 35.9%, primarily due to higher sales of Work
Class ROVs and cable management systems into domestic and international markets.
Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line increased by $9.3 million, or
29.3%, primarily due to higher sales of artificial lift products as a result of
higher well completions activity levels.

Completions segment - Revenue was $118.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2022, an increase of $34.3 million, or 40.6%, compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2021. This increase includes a $24.4 million, or 56.8%, increase
in sales volumes for our Stimulation and Intervention product line and a $9.8
million, or 23.8%, increase in sales volumes for our Coiled Tubing product line.
These higher revenue levels were driven by increasing U.S. hydraulic fracturing
and well intervention service activity levels in the first half of 2022 compared
to the first half of 2021 in response to higher energy demand.

Production segment - Revenue was $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022, an increase of $4.0 million, or 7.0%, compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by higher sales volumes of
valves, primarily in the North America downstream market, as demand continues to
recover from the COVID 19 pandemic. Partially offsetting this increase is a
decline in revenue of $0.2 million for our Production Equipment product line
from lower project revenue for our process oil treatment equipment.

Segment operating profit (loss) and segment operating margin percentage


Segment operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.6 million,
a $24.7 million improvement compared to a loss of $25.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, segment
operating margin percentage was (0.2)% compared to (10.0)% for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by
dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change
in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:

Drilling & Downhole segment - Segment operating income was $14.5 million, or
9.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $1.8 million,
or (1.6)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $16.3 million improvement
in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit
from the 34.0% increase in revenue discussed above. In addition, segment
operating results also improved due to a $3.1 million reduction in inventory
write downs and lower restructuring related costs in connection with cost
reductions executed in early 2021.

Completions segment - Segment operating income was $2.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $0.3 million, or (0.4)%, for
the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $3.2 million improvement in segment
operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit from the
40.6% increase in revenues discussed above, partially offset by higher freight
and employee related costs.
                                       24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Production segment - Segment operating loss was $1.9 million, or (3.1)%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $7.9 million, or (13.7)%,
for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $6.0 million improvement is
primarily attributable to higher gross margin from the 7.0% revenue growth
discussed above as well as lower depreciation and other facility costs in
connection with cost reductions implemented in 2021. These improvements were
partially offset by higher freight and material costs as a result of
inflationary pressures from global supply chains.

Corporate - Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were
$16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a $0.8 million increase
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily
related to higher professional fees. Corporate costs include, among other items,
payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human
resources personnel; professional fees for legal, accounting and related
services; and marketing costs.

Other items not included in segment operating income

Gain on disposal of assets and other is not included in segment operating income, but is included in total operating loss.

Other expenses


Other expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange (gains) losses and
other, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We incurred $15.5 million of interest
expense during the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.5 million
from the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to the lower average outstanding
balance on our 2025 Notes.

The foreign exchange (gains) losses are primarily the result of movements in the
British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These
movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied
to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the
location's functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade
account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities
using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased an aggregate $58.0
million of principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $56.7 million. The net
carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and
debt issuance costs, was $51.6 million, resulting in a $5.1 million loss on
extinguishment of debt.

Taxes


We recorded a tax expense of $3.6 million and $2.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021, respectively. The estimated annual effective
tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by
losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available.
Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period
depending on the Company's relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Cash and capital resources

Sources and uses of liquidity


Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from
operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit
Facility and the 2025 Notes. Our primary uses of capital have been for
inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital
expenditures, and debt repayments. We continually monitor other potential
capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and
target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly
dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access
outside sources of capital.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $257.0 million principal amount of 2025 Notes
outstanding and $33.6 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving
Credit Facility. The 2025 Notes mature in August 2025 and the Credit Facility
matures in September 2026. See Note 7 Debt for further details related to the
terms for our 2025 Notes and Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.9 million and
$114.3 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our
future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate
directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility
will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts
receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we
continue to expect total 2022 capital expenditures to be less than $10.0
million, consisting of, among other items, replacing end of life machinery and
equipment.
                                       25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and
estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current
operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market
conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a
portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures,
securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce the principal amount of
our 2025 Notes outstanding.

In November 2021, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase
of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of
up to $10.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to
time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to
market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other
considerations. To date, we have repurchased approximately 56,000 shares of our
common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.1 million.
Remaining authorization under this program is $8.9 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisition of Hawker for total
cash consideration of $5.1 million, of which, $3.4 million was paid in the
fourth quarter of 2021 with the balance expected to be paid over the next five
years, including $0.5 million paid in the first half of 2022. For additional
information, see Note 4 Acquisitions. We may pursue other acquisitions in the
future, which may be funded with cash and/or equity. Our ability to make
significant acquisitions for cash may require us to pursue additional equity or
debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or
at all.

Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $(20.0) $(68.3)

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities


Net cash used in operating activities was $50.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to $2.4 million of cash provided by operating activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decline in operating cash flows is
primarily attributable to net increases in working capital, primarily inventory
and accounts receivable, which used cash of $75.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to providing cash of $16.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021. This decline was partially offset by an improvement

Additional financial information about the guarantor


The Company's 2025 Notes are guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries which are
100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are full and
unconditional, joint and several.

The guarantees of the 2025 Notes are (i) pari passu in right of payment with all
existing and future senior indebtedness of such guarantor, including all
obligations under our Credit Facility; (ii) secured by certain collateral of
such guarantor, subject to permitted liens under the indenture governing the
2025 Notes; (iii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of that
guarantor, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the 2025 Notes
(after giving effect to the liens securing our Credit Facility and any other
senior liens on the collateral); and (v) senior in right of payment to any
future subordinated indebtedness of that guarantor.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the
non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2025 Notes, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of
such notes will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before
they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or to any
guarantors.

The 2025 Notes guarantees shall each be released upon (i) any sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such guarantor (by
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a person that is not (either before or
after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a subsidiary, if the
sale or other disposition does not violate the applicable provisions of the
indenture governing such notes; (ii) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger,
consolidation or otherwise) of the equity interests of such guarantor after
which the applicable guarantor is no longer a subsidiary, which sale, exchange
or transfer does not violate the applicable provisions of the indenture
governing such notes; (iii) legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and
discharge of the indenture governing such notes; or (iv) dissolution of such
guarantor, provided no default or event of default has occurred that is
continuing.

The obligations of each guarantor of the 2025 Notes under its guarantee will be
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such guarantor (including, without
limitation, any guarantees under the Credit Facility) and any collections from
or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its
contribution obligations under the applicable indenture, result in the
obligations of such guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable
transaction under applicable law. Nonetheless, in the event of the bankruptcy,
insolvency or financial difficulty of a guarantor, such guarantor's obligations
under its guarantee may be subject to review and avoidance under applicable
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference, fraudulent transfer and insolvency
laws.

We are presenting the following summarized financial information for the Company
and the subsidiary guarantors (collectively referred to as the "Obligated
Group") pursuant to Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, Guarantors and Issuers of
Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered. For purposes of the
following summarized financial information, transactions between the Company and
the subsidiary guarantors, presented on a combined basis, have been eliminated
and information for the non-guarantor subsidiaries have been excluded. Amounts
due to the non-guarantor subsidiaries and other related parties, as applicable,
have been separately presented within the summarized financial information
