Overview and Industry Outlook

Both the market for offshore 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 offshore.operations. The level of capital expenditures has generally been dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies and the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. The price ofBrent crude oil price reached a high of $115.19 per barrel in June 2014 and then began to drop sharply during 2015, and continued to drop in 2016, reaching a low of $26.01 per barrel in the fourthfirst quarter of 2014,2016, before rebounding to end the year at $54.96 per barrel. Oil prices began a slow recovery in 2017, with an average price of $54.15 compared to an average price of $43.67 in 2016. During 2018, crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel and ending the year at $55.27.a low of $50.57 per barrel. According to the December 2018 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent Crude oil prices continuedaveraged approximately $71.34 per barrel in 2018 and the price is forecasted to dropaverage $61.00 per barrel in 2015, reaching a low of $35.26,2019 and $65.00 per barrel in December 2015,2020.
On November 30, 2016, OPEC met and decided not to reduce its 30cut production by approximately 1.2 million barrels per day. The reduced production helped to increase the average price per barrel per day production quota. Production at this rate has produced a market oversupply causing prices to continue to decline amid softening demandbetween 2016 and global economic weakness.2017. Capital expenditures are also dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the availability, expiration date and price of offshore leases, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves, in offshore areas, technological advances and alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration and production operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. DeclinesFuture declines in oil and gas prices may further adversely affect the willingness of some oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations, offshore, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In its December 2018 Short-Term Energy Outlook, the EIA projected United States crude oil production averaged an estimated 10.9 million barrels per day in 2018, with an average of 11.5 million barrels per day in the month of November, and is forecasted to average 12.1 million barrels per day in 2019.

The volatility in Brent Crudecrude oil prices over the past three years continues to have a significant effect on major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies’ capital expenditure budgets for 2016 and thereafter.budgets. The Company expects continued volatilitypressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities, particularly as they relate to offshore 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 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and is expected to improve slightly in 2019. A continued significant and prolonged declinedelay in hydrocarbonthe recovery of commodity prices would likely havecould also lead to further material impairment charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company’sCompany's results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.”

Recent Developments
As a result of continued unfavorable offshore market conditions and low commodity prices, the Company engaged in a strategic review with a third-party firm in 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025.

Additionally, the Company pursued a global transformation, which includes a reduction in workforce, realignment of facilities and restructuring of operations. We expect this transformation to allow us to maintain our global footprint in key markets, while supporting an integrated supply chain model that we expect to create more flexibility and allow us to continue serving our customers. The Company expects to complete the strategic restructuring by the end of 2019.
Products and Services

Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of offshore 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. In 2015,2018, the Company derived 81%69% of its revenues from the sale of its products, and 19% of its revenues from services and 12% of its revenues from leasing rental tools, compared to 83%77%, 14% and 17%9% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 20142017, respectively, and 84%80%, 12% and 16%8% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2013,2016, respectively.

Service and leasing revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services during installation and rental of running tools. However, existing customer equipment can be used in certain circumstances, which creates demand for services with no correlating product sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 61% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2018, 55% in 2017 and 66% in 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 39% of the Company’s total revenues in 2018, 45% in 2017 and 34% in 2016.

Product contracts are typically 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 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 as a result of 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, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market conditions.
Products

Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and markets subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment. The Company’s products are used primarily to explore for oil and gas from offshore drilling rigs, such as floating rigs and jack-up rigs, and for drilling and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, tension leg platforms (TLPs), Spars and moored vessels such as FPSOs. TLPs are floating production platforms that are connected to the ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers. A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven times longer than its diameter and is anchored in place. FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels.

The TIW products are used in the drilling and production for oil and gas both onshore and offshore.

Subsea Equipment. Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas wells around the world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, production riser systems, subsea production trees, liner hangers, safety valves, subsea control systems and subsea manifolds.

Subseawellheadsare pressure-containing vessels that are sometimes referred to as a “wellhead housing” and are made from forged and machined steel grade metal.steel. A casing hanger, also made of steel, lands inside the wellhead housing and suspends casing (pipe) downhole. As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter casing strings are installed, each suspended by an independent casing hanger. Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs, either semi-submersible or drillship types, or TLPs and Spars. The Company’s flagship subsea wellhead, called the SS-15®SS-15® Subsea Wellhead System, is rated for 15,000 psi internal pressure and is offered to the industry in a variety of configurations. The Company’s newest wellhead product, the SS-20TM BigBoreTM 11-H II-e Subsea Wellhead System, is designed to contain higher pressures (20,000 psi)pounds per square inch (psi)) and accommodate additionalprovides the ability to reduce the number of casing strings installed through a conventional marine riserin the well design by increasing load carrying and a subsea blowout preventer.

pressure capacities of casing hangers and associated installation tools.

Mudline hanger systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support the weight of the various casing strings at the ocean floor while drilling a well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an orderly manner at the ocean floor after the well has been drilled, and subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it back vertically to a subsequently installed platform or by installing a shallow water subsea tree.

Large diameter weld-onspecialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used primarily in offshore wells drilled from floating drilling rigs, jack-up rigs, fixed platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or large diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a more rapid connection than other methods of connecting lengths of pipe. Connectors may be sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to sections of Company or customer supplied pipe. Dril-Quip’s weld-on specialty connectors are designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick, convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity compatible with casing strength.

Production riser systems are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Production risers provide a vertical conduit from the subsea wellhead up to a TLP, Spar or FPSO.

FPSO floating at the surface.

Asubsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a wellhead connector, control equipment and various other components installed on a subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well. Subsea trees may be eitherused as stand alone satellite typewells or multiple well template mounted and cluster arrangements. BothThese types typically produce via a subsea gathering system of manifolds and flowlines to a central control point located on a platform, TLP, Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly important method for producing wells located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an established manufacturer of complicated dual-bore production trees, which are used in severe service applications.trees. In addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a patented single bore (SingleBore™(SingleBoreTM) subsea completion system which features a hydraulic valve mechanism instead of a wireline-installed mechanism that allows the operator to plug the tubing hanger annulus remotely from the surface via a hydraulic control line and

subsequently unplug it when the well is put on production. This mechanism eliminates the need for an expensive multibore installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation time. Dril- Quip’s guidelinelessThe patented horizontal bore (HorizontalBoreTM) subsea production tree iscomponent accommodates numerous completion configuration possibilities and features large vertical access drill-through for passage of drill-bits, submersible pumps, coil tubing strings and Dril-Quip's slimline casing hanger system. Dril-Quip’s subsea production trees are used in ultra-deepwater applications. This tree featuresThese trees feature remote multiple flowline and control connections, utilizing remotely operated intervention tools. The Company’s subsea production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications.

Asubsea control system provides control of subsea trees, manifolds, ocean floor process equipment and pipeline protection equipment. Dril-Quip has developed a variety of subsea control systems, including fiber optic based multiplex control systems that provide real time access to tree functions and tree equipment status. The control system can be packaged for shallow water or deepwater applications. Dril-Quip also manufactures control systems used in the installation, retrieval and workover of production equipment.
A subsea manifold is a structure located on the ocean floor consisting of valves, flowline connections and a control module used to collect and control the flow of oil and gas from subsea wells for delivery to a floating production unit or terminal.
Downhole Tools. Downhole tools are primarily comprised of liner hangers, production packers, safety valves and specialty downhole tools.A liner hanger is used to hang-off and seal casing into a previously installed casing string in the well bore, and can provide a means of tying back the liner for production to surface. Dril-Quip has developed a state-of-the-art liner hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of difficult well applications, resulting in improved industry recognition and market opportunities.

Asubsea control system provides control of subsea trees, manifolds and other ocean floor process equipment. Dril-Quip has developed a variety of subsea control systems, including fiber optic based multiplex control In addition to liner hanger systems that are well suited for onshore use, TIW offers expandable liner hanger systems that are typically utilized in challenging environments such as deepwater or High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) applications.

A safety valve is used to provide real time access to tree functions and tree equipment status. The control system can be packaged for shallow water or deepwater applications. Dril-Quip also manufactures control systems useda quick, sure shutoff in the installation, retrievaldrill string at the drill floor and workoverprevent flow up the drill pipe.

Surface Equipment. Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, TLPs and Spars. Included in the Company’s surface equipment product line are platform wellheads, platform production trees and riser tensioners. Dril-Quip’s development of platform wellheads and platform production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its existing subsea wellhead and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.

Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed at the platform deck to suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing wellhead systems with operational time-saving features which can be used in high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and production applications.

After installation of a wellhead,a platform production tree, consisting of gate valves, a surface wellhead connector, controls, tree cap and associated equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas production. Platform production trees are similar to subsea production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than

Riser tensioners are used on a floating drilling/production vessel to provide a continuous and reliable upward force on a riser string that is independent of the movement of the floating vessel.

Offshore Rig Equipment. Offshore rig equipment includes drilling riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. Thedrilling riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the telescopic joint, which connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at top of the riser at the rig and provides a means to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector, which provides a means for remote connection and disconnection of the drilling riser system to and from the blowout preventer stack. Thewellhead connector provides remote connection/disconnection of the blowout preventer stack production treeto or production riser to/from the wellhead.Diverters are used to provide protection from shallow gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation.

Wellhead connectors are used on production riser systems and drilling riser systemssystems. They are also used on both TLPs and Spars, which are being installed more frequently in deepwater applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs, rig upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Drilling risers, wellhead connectors and diverters are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications.

Certain products of the CompanyCompany's products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.”

Manufacturing

Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; and Macae, Brazil. The Houston facility provides forged and heat treated products to all of its major manufacturing facilities.See “Item 2. Properties—Manufacturing Facilities.” Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of product quality through the implementation of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) methodologies, as well as through the use of quality control specialists.

The Company’s Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae manufacturing plants are ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001:20089001 certified. The Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae plants are also licensed to applicable American Petroleum Institute (API) product specifications and are API Q1, 9th edition and APIQ2 compliant. The Metallurgical Laboratory at the Houston operations is ISO 17025 certified. See “Item 2. Properties—Major Manufacturing Facilities.”certified for Crack Tip Opening Displacement, Hardness, Tensile and Charpy V-Notch testing. Dril-Quip works to maintain its high standards of product quality through the use of quality control specialistsprecision measuring equipment such as Gage Masters, Faro Arms, Coordinate Measuring Machine and the application of APQP. APQP entails concurrent engineering principles to identify and address potential quality concerns early in the product development process. The Company has the capability to manufacture variousits products from each of its product lines at its major manufacturing facilitiesglobally and believes that this localized manufacturingcontinues to have local capability is essential in order to compete with the Company’s major competitors.

The Company’s manufacturing processes are vertically integrated, providing capability for the majority of its forging and heat treating and essentially all of its machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing to be performed in-house. Dril-Quip recently added a Coordinate Measuring Machine and developed a certified Crack Tip Opening Displacement testing capability at its Houston operations to further improve responsiveness and support customers’ needs. key critical markets.

The Company’s primary raw material is cast steel ingots, from which it produces steel shaped forgings at its forging and heat treatment facility in Houston, Texas. The Company routinely purchases steel ingots from multiple suppliers on a purchase order basis and does not have any long-term supply contracts. The Company’s Houston facility provideshas the capability to provide forgings and heat treatment for its Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae facilities. The Company’s major competitors depend on outside sources for all or a substantial portion of their forging and heat treatment requirements. The Company has made significant capital investments in developing its vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Prolonged periods of low demand in the market for offshore drilling and production equipment could have a greater effect on the Company than on certain of its competitors that have not made such large capital investments in their facilities.

Dril-Quip’s manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools and equipment, which contribute to the Company’s product quality and timely delivery. The Company has also developed a cost effective, in-house machine tool rebuild and refurbishment capability, which produces “like new” machine upgrades with customized features to enhance the economic manufacturemanufacturing of its specialized products. The Company purchases quality used machine tools as they become available and stores them at its facilities to be rebuilt and upgraded as the need arises. Rebuilding used machine tools allows for greater customization suitable for manufacturing Dril-Quip proprietary product lines. This strategy provides the added advantage of in-house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these machines. A significant portion of the Company’s manufacturing capacity growth has been through the rebuild/upgrade of quality used machine tools, including the replacement of outdated control systems with state-of-the-art CNC controls.

Customers

The Company’s principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies. Offshore drillingDrilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of the Company’s customer base. The Company’s customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in offshore exploration and production.

The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2015 and 2014,2018, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 61%56% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of total revenues. In 2017 and 2016, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 49% and 75% of total revenues, respectively, and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 12%14% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues. In 2013, the Company’s top 15 customers represented approximately 64%16% of total revenues, and Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues.respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in 2015, 20142018, 2017 or 2013.2016. The number and variety of the Company’s products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount of that customer’s capital expenditure budget devoted to offshore exploration and production and on the results of competitive bids for major projects. Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of its significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Backlog

Backlog consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, or signed contract or letter of award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically, the Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Company’s product backlog was approximately $685$270.0 million and $207.3 million at December 31, 20152018 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2014.2017, respectively. The backlog at the end of 20152018 represents a decreasean increase of approximately $515$62.7 million, or 43%30%, from the end of 2014.2017. The Company’s backlog balance during 20152018 was

negatively impacted by purchase order cancellations and revisions totaling approximately $62 million and translation adjustments of approximately $35$3.1 million, due primarily to the strengtheningweakening of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, versusand approximately $11.7 million in cancellations.

The Company expects to fill approximately 60%70% to 70%80% of the December 31, 20152018 product backlog by December 31, 2016.2019. The remaining backlog at December 31, 20152018 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. The contract was valued at $650$650.0 million, net of Brazilian taxes, at exchange rates in effect at that time (approximately $340$342.2 million based on the December 31, 20152018 exchange rate of 3.903.8748 Brazilian real to 1.00 U.S. dollar) if all the equipment under the contract was ordered. Amounts are included in the Company’sCompany's backlog as purchase orders under the contractor letters of award are received. Revenues of approximately $106 million have been recognized on this contract through December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015,2018, the Company’s backlog included $47$9.3 million of purchase orders under this Petrobras contract.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”

Marketing and Sales

Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly through its sales personnel in twomultiple domestic and twenty-one international locations. In addition, in certain foreign markets the Company utilizes independent sales agents or representatives to enhance its marketing and sales efforts.

Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has sales agents or representatives are Trinidad, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Although they do not have authority to contractually bind the Company, these representatives market the Company’s products in their respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company advertises its products and services in trade and technical publications targeted to its customer base. The Company also participates in industry conferences and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of its products.

The Company’s customers generally order products on a purchase order basis. Orders, other than those considered to be long-term projects, are typically filled within nine to twelve months after receipt, of a purchase order, depending on the type of product and whether it is sold out of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the Company’s larger, more complex products, such as subsea production trees, drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars, can take a year or more to complete.

The primary factors influencing a customer’s decision to purchase the Company’s products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product, technologically superior featuresprice, technology, service and price. Timely delivery of equipment is also very important to customer operations and the Company maintains an experienced sales coordination staff to help assure suchtimely delivery. For large drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate customer needs with the Company’s engineering, manufacturing and service organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors.

A portion of the Company’s business consists of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number of such projects in any year may fluctuate. The Company’s profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and cost effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors, including availability of raw materials, changes in customer

requirements and governmental regulations, can adversely affect the Company’s performance on individual projects, with potential material adverse effects on project profitability.

Product Development and Engineering

The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as offshore exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments include water depths in excess of 10,000 feet, well pressures exceeding 15,000 psi, (pounds per square inch), well flowing temperatures beyond 350oF (Fahrenheit) and mixed flows of oil, gas and water that may also be highly corrosive and impact material properties.

Since its founding in 1981, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing development efforts to generate new products and improve existing products. When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most technologically advanced version for a particular application to establish its reputation and qualification in that product. Thereafter, the Company leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to produce less costly and complex versions of the product for less demanding applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but also operating, installation and maintenance costs associated with its products.

In the 1980s, the Company introduced its first product, specialty connectors, as well as mudline suspension systems, template systems and subsea wellheads. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of new products, including diverters, wellhead connectors, SingleBore™ subsea trees, improved severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform valves, platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser systems, drilling riser systems and TLP and Spar production riser systems. Since 2000, Dril-Quip has introduced multiple new products, including liner hangers, subsea control systems, subsea

manifolds, riser tensioners, and riser tensioners.

enhanced versions of subsea wellhead connectors and Dril-Quip’s industry leading subsea wellhead system(s).

Historically, Dril-Quip’s product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, TexasTexas; however, such activities have gradually increased in other regions, such as Aberdeen, Scotland, Singapore and Aberdeen, Scotland.Brazil. In addition to the work of its product development staff, the Company’s application engineering staff provides technical services to customers in connection with the design and sales of its products. The Company’s ability to develop new products and maintain technological advantages is important to its future success. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—OurFactors-Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.”

The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing product development and manufacturing activities, Dril-Quip’s policy has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to the Company and almost all of the Company’s products have components that are covered by patents.

In 2015, Dril-Quip completed2018, major production milestones were met for several key global projects.

Additionally, subsea trees were completeddelivered and deliveredinstalled for installation to a subsea field development project off the coast of Trinidad. The Company also began installationGabon. Also, off the coast of Dry Tree Production SystemsTrinidad, multiple deepwater subsea wellhead systems were installed with the support of a service facility in Trinidad, continuing Dril-Quip's aftermarket support presence in the region established the previous year. With the completion of engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing of dry tree equipment, Dril-Quip was able to support the production startuptieback of multiple wells for projects in the first TLP in South America.Gulf of Mexico. Engineering, manufacture,manufacturing, assembly and test work continued on several additional Dry Tree Projectsdry tree projects in the Company’sCompany's backlog. The requirements of the equipment in these projects represent significant technological challenges, the development of which is serving to enhance the Company’sCompany's overall engineering capabilities.

Dril-Quip’s continued efforts in developing technologically advanced products enable Dril-Quip to offer products for the harshest environments. The latest subsea wellhead system has been accepted by a major oil company for its high pressure, high temperature applications, further strengthening Dril-Quip’s position in the subsea market.
In an ongoing test program, the Company continued the utilization of its recently constructed high-load horizontal test machine and fatigue test machine for rigorous validation testing of its existing specialty connector

product line. Active engineering programs have been initiated in-house to continue development in specialty connector product enhancements as well as new product development. This high-load horizontal test machine has been instrumental in the development and qualification of our latest 20,000 psi wellhead system and riser connector that utilize Dril-Quip proprietary locking and sealing profiles. Engineering development efforts are on-going in subsea production systemssystems.

In early 2016, the Company announced that it is establishing a research and capital equipment product lines.

development facility in Singapore that focuses on materials and products suitable for HPHT applications. The new facility serves as an additional hub for research and development activities for the Company.

Dril-Quip has numerous U.S. registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip®Dril-Quip®, Quik-Thread®Quik-Thread®, Quik-Stab®Quik-Stab®, Multi-Thread®Multi-Thread®, MS-15®MS-15®, SS-15®SS-15®, SS-10®SS-10®, SU-90®, DX® and SU-90®TIW®. The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries where such registration is deemed material.

Although in the aggregate, the Company’s patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Dril-Quip®Dril-Quip® trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets.

Competition

Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers and suppliers of exploration and production equipment. Several of its primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many instances, have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer period of time than the Company. The Company competes principally with GE Oil and Gas (formerly Vetco Gray) and the petroleum production equipment segments of OneSubsea (aBaker Hughes, a GE Company; Schlumberger, Ltd./Cameron International Corporation joint venture), FMC Technologies, Inc.; TechnipFMC plc; and Aker Solutions.

Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of the Company’s competitors have the ability to provide “turnkey” services for offshore drilling and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to the exclusion of

Table of Contents

Dril-Quip’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.” The Company also competes to a lesser extent with a number of other companies in various products. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum drilling and production equipment markets are quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery.

Employees

The total number of the Company’sCompany's employees as of December 31, 20152017 was 2,319.2,019. Of these, 1,246those 2,019 employees, 1,095 were located in the United States. As a result of worldwide reductions in workforce and natural attrition, the total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 2018 was 1,926, a 5% reduction from December 31, 2017. Of those 1,926 employees, 946 were located in the United States. As a result of the Company's ongoing efforts to control costs, we expect to reduce approximately 15% of our workforce in 2019, resulting in $7.3 million in severance costs being recognized in the year ended December 31, 2018. Substantially all of the Company’sCompany's employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.

The Company’s operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. While the Company believes that its wage and salary rates are competitive and that its relationship with its labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages and salaries paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of the Company’s labor force, increases in the wage and salary rates paid by the Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by the Company from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the Company could be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be impaired. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.”

Governmental Regulations

Many aspects of the Company’s operations are affected by political developments and are subject to both domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, the discharge of

materials into the environment from our manufacturing or other facilities, health and worker safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to human health and environmental protection. In addition, the Company depends on the demand for its services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to onshore and offshore operations. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing 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 the Company’s products. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”

In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of the environment. Legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences. In November 2015, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) was held in Paris with the objective to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2o20 C (Celsius), from all nations, regardless of size. The Paris Agreement, will be open for signingsigned by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, and, if it comes into force, would requirerequires countries to review and “represent a progression” in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, every five years beginningyears. However, in 2020. In November 2014,August 2017, the United States and China agreedinformed the United Nations of its intent to new targets for carbon emissions reductions.withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November 2020. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA has expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and has adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. Moreover, specific design and operational standards apply to U.S. outer continental shelf vessels, rigs, platforms, vehicles, structures and equipment.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulates the design and operation of well control and other equipment at offshore production sites, among other requirements. BSEE has adopted stricter requirements for subsea drilling production equipment. In April 2015,2016, BSEE announcedpublished a proposedfinal blowout preventer systems and well control rule, which focuses on blowout preventer requirements and includes reforms in well design, well control, casing, cementing, real-time monitoring and subsea containment, among other things. BSEE also finalized a rule in September 2016 concerning production safety systems for oil and natural gas operations on the Outer Continental Shelf. However, in December 2017, BSEE published a proposed rule that would revise a number of the requirements in the September 2016 rule. The final rule implementing these revisions was published in September 2018. In addition, offshorein May 2018, BSEE published a proposed rule that would revise

Table of Contents

several requirements of the blowout preventer systems and well control rule. A final rule has not yet been issued. In addition, drilling in certain areas has been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. For example, in December 2016, the Obama administration banned offshore drilling in portions of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. Although the Trump administration announced a proposal in January 2018 to open most U.S. coastal waters to offshore drilling, several coastal states have taken steps to prohibit offshore drilling. For example, California passed laws in September 2018 barring the construction of new oil drilling-related infrastructure in state waters. Similarly, in November 2018, voters in Florida approved an amendment to the state constitution that would ban oil and gas drilling in offshore state waters. Further, in December 2018, environmental groups challenged incidental harassment authorizations issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service that allow companies to conduct air gun seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration off the Atlantic coast. The attorneys general for nine coastal states also sought to intervene as plaintiffs. To the extent that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or restrict offshore drilling or impose additional environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the offshore drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. Similarly, restrictions on authorizations needed to conduct seismic surveys could impact our customers' ability to identify oil and gas reserves, thereby reducing demand for our products. The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our business and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.”

Our operations are also governed by laws and regulations related to workplace safety and worker health, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Based on the Company’s experience to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing environmental, health and safety laws. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of or by regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material.

In this Item 1A., the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “Dril-Quip” used herein refer to Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or as the context so requires.

A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.

Our business depends upon 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 offshore.operations. The level of capital expenditures is generally dependent on the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including:

worldwide economic activity;

the level of exploration and production activity;

interest rates and the cost of capital;

environmental regulation;

federal, state and foreign policies regarding exploration and development of oil and gas;

the ability and/or desire of OPEC and other major producers to set and maintain production levels and pricing;

governmental regulations regarding future oil and gas exploration and production;

the cost of exploring and producing oil and gas;

��the cost of developing alternative energy sources;

the cost of developing alternative energy sources;
the availability, expiration date and price of onshore and offshore leases;

the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in onshore and offshore areas;

the success of drilling for oil and gas in unconventional resource plays such as shale formations;

alternative opportunities to invest in onshore exploration and production opportunities;

technological advances;advances and new techniques that render drilling more efficient or reduce demand for, and production of, fossil fuels; and

weather conditions.conditions and natural disasters.

Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political and economic events have contributed to crude oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Brent crude oil prices per barrel for the current and previous two years are summarized below:

   Brent Crude Oil Prices 

Year

  Low   High   Average   Dec. 31, 

2013

  $96.84    $118.90    $108.56    $109.95

We expect continued volatilitypressure in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities, particularly as they relate to offshore 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 our products and services, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. These risks are greater during periods of low or declining commodity prices. Continued significant or prolonged declines in hydrocarbonThe sustained lower crude oil and natural gas prices, along with lower drilling and production activity, have had and may continue to have, a material adverse effectnegative impact on our results of operations.

We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts and contract tenders.


Table of Contents

Our products are used primarily in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for

our products and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. We anticipate that such testing requirements will become more common in our contracts. In addition, recent scrutiny of the offshore drilling industry has resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such specifications. We cannot assure you that our products will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations. If our products are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable to perform any required full-scale testing, our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position may be adversely affected.

We rely on technology provided by third parties and our business may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to renew our licensing arrangements with them.

We have existing contracts and may enter into new contracts with customers that require us to use technology or to purchase components from third parties, including some of our competitors. In the ordinary course of our business, we have entered into licensing agreements with some of these third parties for the use of such technology, including a license from a competitor of a technology important to our subsea wellheads. We may not be able to renew our existing licenses or to purchase these components on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to use a technology or purchase a component, we may not be able to meet existing contractual commitments without increased costs or modifications or at all. In addition, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology or component or to redesign our products, either of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.

Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than ours and which have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer time than us. If these competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing competitive products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product and service offerings and financial resources, further intensifying competition.

The loss of a significant customer could have an adverse impact on our financial results.

Our principal customers are major integrated oil and gas companies, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. Offshore drillingDrilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of our customer base. In 2015 and 2014,2018, our top 15 customers represented approximately 61%56% of total revenues, and BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of total revenues. In 2017 and 2016, our top 15 customers represented approximately 49% and 75% of total revenues, respectively, and Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 12%14% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues. In 2013, our top 15 customers represented approximately 64%16% of total revenues, and Petrobras accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. While we are not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, therespectively. The loss of one or more of our significant customers could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our customers’ industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.

The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers or the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. We cannot

assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.

Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing processes could negatively impact our profitability.

Any increases in commodity prices for items such as nickel, molybdenum and heavy metal scrap that are used to make the steel alloys required for our products would result in an increase in our raw material costs. Similarly, any increase in energy costs would increase our product costs. If we are not successful in raising our prices on products to compensate for any increased raw material or energy costs, our margins will be negatively impacted.

We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, and our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.


Table of Contents

Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials from third parties. The ability of these third parties to deliver raw materials may be affected by events beyond our control. Any interruption in the supply of raw materials needed to manufacture our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation with our customers.

Conditions in the global financial system may have impacts on our business and financial position that we currently cannot predict.

Uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability of our customers to finance purchases of our products and services and could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders included in our backlog or adversely affect the collectability of our receivables. If the availability of credit to our customers is reduced, they may reduce their drilling and production expenditures, thereby decreasing demand for our products and services, which could have a negative impact on our financial position. Additionally, unsettled conditions could have an impact on our suppliers, causing them to be unable to meet their obligations to us. Although we do not currently anticipate a need to access the credit markets in the short term, aA prolonged constriction on future lending by banks or investors could result in higher interest rates on future debt obligations or could restrict our ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet our long-term operational and capital needs.

We are exposed to the credit risks of our customers, and a general increase in the nonpayment and nonperformance by customers could have an adverse impact on our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. Certain of our customers finance their activities through cash flow from operations, the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. In an economic downturn, commodity prices typically decline, and the credit markets and availability of credit can be expected to be constrained. Additionally, certain of our customers’ equity values could decline. The combination of lower cash flow due to commodity prices, a reduction in borrowing bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of available debt or equity financing may result in a significant reduction in our customers’ liquidity and ability to pay or otherwise perform on their obligations to us. Furthermore, some of our customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks, which increases the risk that they may default on their obligations to us. Any increase in the nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers could have an adverse impact on our operating results and could adversely affect our liquidity.

Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.

The revenues projected in our backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. All of the projects currently included in our backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is generally required to pay us for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.

We can give no assurance that our backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of our products are affected by prices for oil and natural gas, which have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Contracts denominated in foreign currency are also affected by changes in exchange rates, which may have a negative impact on our backlog. When drilling and production levels are depressed, a customer may no longer need the equipment or services currently under contract or may be able to obtain comparable equipment or services at lower prices. As a result, customers may delay projects, exercise their termination rights or attempt to renegotiate contract terms.
For example, during the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply TTR systems and related services for the development of the 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements; however, due to ongoing territorial discussions between China and Vietnam, the CRD Project may experience continued delays or cancellation. 
Continued declines in, or sustained low levels of, oil and natural gas prices could also reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in our future backlog. If we experience significant project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to contracts reflected in our backlog, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.

Impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets, inventory, intangible assets and goodwill could negatively affect our operating results.
We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and we could incur additional impairment charges related to the carrying value of our long lived assets.

Table of Contents

As a result of continued unfavorable offshore market conditions and low commodity prices, the Company engaged in a strategic review with a third-party firm in 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025. Additionally, the Company pursued a global transformation, which includes a reduction in workforce, realignment of facilities and restructuring of operations. We expect this transformation to allow us to maintain our global footprint in key markets, while supporting an integrated supply chain model that we expect to create more flexibility and allow us to continue serving our customers. The Company expects to complete the strategic restructuring by the end of 2019.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we incurred inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. These charges are reflected as Impairment, restructuring and other charges in our consolidated statement of operations.
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets. No additional impairments were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, no impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2016.
For goodwill, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our three reporting units' net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital, a terminal growth value and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its calculated fair value.
At October 1, 2018, the Company performed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units and concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on goodwill include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market conditions, such as commodity prices; operating cost factors; overall financial performance; the impact of dispositions and acquisitions; and other entity-specific events. Further declines in commodity prices or sustained lower valuation for the Company's common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to an impairment of reporting unit goodwill.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71%. Further declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional impairment charges associated with goodwill. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
During 2018, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel, a low of $50.57 per barrel, and an average of $71.34 per barrel. Although the prices have experienced some recovery in 2017 and 2018, continued weakness or volatility in market conditions may further deteriorate the financial performance or future prospects of our

operating segments from current levels, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets, inventory or goodwill and negatively impact our financial results in the period of impairment.
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.

We have substantial international operations, with approximately 63%61% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in 20152018, 55% in 2017 and 2014 compared to 67%66% in 2013.2016. We operate our business and market our products and services in many of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and are, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. Risks associated with our international operations include:

volatility in general economic, social and political conditions;

terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances;

expropriation or nationalization of assets;

renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts;

foreign taxation, including changes in laws or differing interpretations of existing laws;

assaults on property or personnel;

restrictive action by local governments;

foreign and domestic monetary policies;

limitations on repatriation of earnings;

the occurrence of a trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies;
travel limitations or operational problems caused by public health threats; and

changes in currency exchange rates.

Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture products abroad or the demand for our products and services in some locations. To date, we have not experienced any 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 our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations.

Our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and foreign regulations governing the international trade of goods, services and technology, which expose us to compliance risks.

Doing business on a worldwide basis exposes us and our subsidiaries to risks inherent in complying with the laws and regulations of a number of different nations, including various anti-bribery laws. We do business and have operations in a number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more developed countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having a culture in which requests for improper payments are not discouraged. Maintaining and administering an effective anti-bribery compliance programAs a result, we may be subject to risks under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act of 2010 and similar statuteslaws in other countries that generally prohibit companies and their representatives from making, offering or authorizing improper payments to government officials for the purpose of other nationsobtaining or retaining business. We have adopted policies and procedures, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethical Practices, which are designed to promote compliance with such laws. However, maintaining and administering an effective compliance program under applicable anti-bribery laws in these environmentsdeveloping countries presents greater challenges than is the case in more developed countries.

In addition, ourthe movement of goods, services and technology subjects us to complex legal regimes governing international trade. Our import and export activities are governed by unique tariff and customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. TheFurther, many of the countries in which we do business maintain controls on the export or reexport of certain goods, services and technology, as well as economic sanctions that prohibit or restrict business activities in, with or involving certain persons, entities or countries. These laws and regulations concerning import and export activity, including their recordkeeping and reporting import and export control and economic sanctionsrequirements, are complex and subject to frequent change.

frequently changing. Moreover, they may be adopted, enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that could materially impact our operations.

The precautions we take to prevent and detect misconduct, fraud or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing international trade, including anti-bribery laws, may not be able to prevent such occurrences, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to criminal or civil penalties, such as fines, penalties or otherimprisonment, sanctions, including debarment from government contracts, seizure of shipments

Table of Contents

and loss of import and export privileges,privileges. In addition, actual or alleged violations of such laws and regulations could be expensive and consume significant time and attention of senior management to investigate and resolve, as well as damage our reputation and ability to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

We are also subject to the risks that our employees, agents and other representatives may act or fail to act in violation of such laws or regulations or our compliance policies and procedures.

The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union, including the subsequent exchange rate fluctuations and political and economic uncertainties, may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.
In a referendum held on June 23, 2016, voters in the United Kingdom (U.K.) approved the exit (Brexit) of the U.K. from the European Union (E.U.). On March 29, 2017, the U.K. government commenced the exit process under Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union by notifying the European Council of the U.K.'s intention to leave the E.U. This notification started a two-year time period ending on March 29, 2019 for the U.K. and the remaining E.U. Member States to negotiate a withdrawal agreement. Negotiations remain ongoing to determine the future terms of the U.K.'s relationship with the E.U. The impact on the Company's business as a result of Brexit will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations.
The consequences of Brexit, together with the protracted negotiations around the terms of Brexit, could introduce significant uncertainties into global financial markets and adversely impact the regions in which we and our clients operate. For example, importing and exporting activity from our Aberdeen manufacturing facility could be subject to higher costs and delays, which could cause disruptions in our delivery schedules to our customers. In the long term, Brexit could also create uncertainty with respect to the legal and regulatory requirements to which we and our customers in the U.K. are subject and lead to divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. government determines which E.U. laws to modify or replace.
The referendum 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 U.K. negotiates its exit from the E.U. 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, and the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could have a negative impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Tax reform in the United States may have adverse effects on our financial position.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted (US Tax Reform).  US Tax Reform includes a number of changes that impacted our business. These changes include a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% starting in 2018, the elimination or reduction of certain domestic deductions and credits and limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation. US Tax Reform also transitions U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a modified territorial system, which includes base erosion prevention measures on non-U.S. earnings, which have the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. taxation stemming from guidelines such as Global Low Tax Intangible Income (GILTI). The US Tax Reform also includes a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017.
US Tax Reform also provides for the acceleration of depreciation for certain assets placed into service after September 27, 2017 as well as prospective changes beginning in 2018, including repeal of the domestic manufacturing deduction. Changes in corporate tax rates, the taxation of foreign earnings and the deductibility of expenses had a material impact on the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and resulted in an increase of the Company’s effective tax rate in 2017.
The provisions of US Tax Reform reduced the Company’s effective tax rate in 2018, but it is important to note that the ultimate impact on the Company’s effective tax rate will largely depend on the percentage of pre-tax earnings that is generated in the United States as compared to the rest of the world.
We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final determination of our tax liabilities.

As a result of our international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. Therefore,Accordingly, our effective income tax rate and other tax obligations in the final determinationfuture could be adversely affected by a number of ourfactors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, the mix of business executed in deemed profit regimes compared to book income regimes, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, involvesdisagreements with taxing authorities with respect to the interpretation of the statutestax laws and requirements of taxing authorities worldwide. Foreignregulations and changes in tax laws. In particular, foreign income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by foreign tax authorities. Theseauthorities, and these tax

Table of Contents

examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, interest or penalties. Refer to “Item"Item 3. Legal Proceedings”Proceedings" regarding tax assessments in Brazil.

We regularly assess all of these matters to determine the adequacy of our tax provision, which is subject to discretion. If our assessments are incorrect, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Moreover, the United States Congress, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and other government agencies in the other jurisdictions where we and our subsidiaries do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is in the area of "base erosion and profit shifting," where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As a result, the tax laws in the United States and other countries in which we and our subsidiaries do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and such changes could adversely affect us.
Our excess cash is invested in various financial instruments which may subject us to potential losses.

We invest excess cash in various financial instruments including interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. However, changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the issuers, can affect the market value of our short-term investments.

We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations and limitations on the ability to repatriate income or capital to the United States.

We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U. S. dollar, and our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect the Company against such fluctuations in the future. Historically, we have not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings. However, as we expand our international operations, we may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, we cannot assure you that the countries in which we currently operate will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future.

Our foreign subsidiaries also hold significant amounts of cash that may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes of the applicable foreign country if we dividendrepatriate that cash to us, as we are located in the United States.

Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. In addition, certain areas where our products are used, including in and near the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, are close to high population areas and subject to hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions on a relatively frequent basis. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and/or services are used may expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, environmental damage or commercial claims. Our general liability insurance program includes an aggregate coverage limit of $200 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. However, our insurance policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. In addition, our insurance does not provide coverage for all liabilities, and we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

We attempt to further limit our liability through contractual indemnification provisions with our customers. We generally seek to enter into contracts for the provision of our products and services that provide for (1) the responsibility of each party to the contract for personal injuries to, or the death of, its employees and damages to its property, (2) cross-indemnification with other contractors providing products and/or services to the other party to the contract with respect to personal injury, death and property damage and (3) the operator being responsible for claims brought by third parties for personal injury, death, property loss or damage relating to pollution or other well control events. WeDue to competitive market pressures, we may not be able to successfully obtain favorable contractual provisions, and a failure to do so may increase our risks and costs, which could materially impact our results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that any party that is contractually obligated to indemnify us will be financially able to do so.

so or that a court will enforce all such indemnities.

We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.

A portion of our business consists of the designing, manufacturing and selling of our equipment for major projects pursuant to competitive bids, and is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all cost overruns, other than the amount of any cost overruns resulting from requested changes in order specifications. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. This may occur for various reasons, including:

errors in estimates or bidding;

changes in availability and cost of labor and materials;

variations in productivity from our original estimates; and

material changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.

Technology is an important component of our business and growth strategy, and our success as a company depends to a significant extent on the development and implementation of new product designs and improvements. Whether we can continue to develop systems and services and related technologies to meet

evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our ability to compete in the industry in which we operate. Many of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services and technologies than we are able to do.

Our ability to compete effectively will also depend on our ability to continue to obtain patents on our proprietary technology and products. Although we do not consider any single patent to be material to our business as a whole, the inability to protect our future innovations through patents could have a material adverse effect.

We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of percentage-of-completionover time method of accounting.

Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completionan over time basis. We calculate the percent complete and apply the percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Accordingly, purchase order 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 estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.

Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.

We depend on the continued services of Blake DeBerry,our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our President and Chief Executive Officer, and James Gariepy, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Together, Mr. DeBerry and Mr. Gariepy have over 35 years withFrom time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the Company and approximately 60 yearshiring or departure of relevant industry experience.executives. Such changes in our executive management team may be disruptive to our business. The loss of eitherone or more of these officersour key employees or groups could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In addition, competition for skilled machinists, fabricators and technical personnel among companies that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully and develop and produce marketable products and services. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increase in the wage rates paid by us or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by us from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, our production capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential could be impaired.

Acquisitions, dispositions and investments may not result in anticipated benefits and may present risks not originally contemplated, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time, we evaluate purchases and sales of assets, businesses or other investments. These transactions may not result in the anticipated realization of savings, creation of efficiencies, offering of new products or services, generation of cash or income or reduction of risk. In addition, acquisitions may be financed by borrowings, requiring us to incur debt, or by the issuance of our common stock. These transactions involve numerous risks, and we cannot ensure that:

any acquisition would be successfully integrated into our operations and internal controls;

the due diligence conducted prior to an acquisition would uncover situations that could result in financial or legal exposure;

the use of cash for acquisitions would not adversely affect our cash available for capital expenditures and other uses;


Table of Contents

any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not divert management resources from the operation of our business; or

any disposition, investment, acquisition or integration would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Restrictions in the agreement governing the Asset Backed Loan (ABL) Credit Facility could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The operating and financial restrictions in the ABL Credit Facility and any future financing agreements could restrict our ability to finance future operations, capital needs or to access to capital at a reasonable cost or otherwise pursue our business activities. For example, ABL Credit Facility limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
incur additional debt or issue guarantees;
incur or permit certain liens to exist;
make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments, including payments for the purchase of equity interests in the Company;
dispose of assets;
engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates;
merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and
prepay certain indebtedness.
Furthermore, the ABL Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges when availability under the ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of $10 million and 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments.
In addition, any borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be at variable rates of interest that expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed will remain the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease. 
A failure to comply with the covenants in the agreement governing the ABL Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would permit the exercise of remedies against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Remedies under the ABL Credit Facility include foreclosure on the collateral securing the indebtedness and termination of the commitments under the ABL Credit Facility, and any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.
Our operations and our customers’ operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.

Our business and our customers’ businesses may be significantly affected by:

federal, state, local and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the oilfield operations, worker safety and the protection of the environment;

changes in these laws and regulations;

levels of enforcement of these laws and regulations; and

interpretation of existing laws and regulations.

In addition, we depend on the demand for our products and services from the oil and gas industry. This demand is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. For example, the adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our products. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations and enforcement thereof.

Various new regulations intended to improve particularly offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been issued since 2010 that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some operators to continue deepwater drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial operations. Third-party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. If the new regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our

Table of Contents

current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects, they could discontinue or curtail their offshore operations, thereby adversely affecting our financial operations by decreasing demand for our products.

Because of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require hiring of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our businesses and our customers’ businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.

Our operations and the operations of our customers are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect the products and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our products. For example, our operations are subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations that, among other things, may regulate the management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; require acquisition of environmental permits related to our operations; restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various materials that can be released into the environment; limit or prohibit operation

activities in certain ecologically sensitive and other protected areas; regulate specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection; require compliance with operational and equipment standards; impose testing, reporting and record-keeping requirements; and require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with such environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. In addition, environmental laws and regulations could limit our customers’ exploration and production activities. These laws and regulations change frequently, which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future operations. For example, legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced, but not enacted, in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences, including the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21) in November 2015, which resulted in the creation of the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement, will be open for signingsigned by the U.S. on April 22, 2016, and, if it comes into force, would requirerequires countries to review and “represent a progression” in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, every five years beginningyears. However, in August 2017, the United States informed the United Nations of its intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The earliest possible effective withdrawal date from the Paris Agreement is November 2020. Also, the EPA has undertaken efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA has expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and has adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. To date,Subsequent to the Paris Agreement, there has been no significant legislative progress in cap and trade proposals or greenhouse gas emission reductions. The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the hydrocarbons that our customers produce. Consequently, such legislation or regulatory programs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. It is too early to determine whether, or in what form, further regulatory action regarding greenhouse gas emissions will be adopted or what specific impact a new regulatory action might have on us or our customers. Generally, the anticipated regulatory actions do not appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent, than other companies that are our competitors. However, our business and prospects could be adversely affected to the extent laws are enacted or modified or other governmental action is taken that prohibits or restricts our customers’ exploration and production activities or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to us or our customers.

Environmental laws may provide for “strict liability” for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Some environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. These laws and regulations also may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations at the time such acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations could result in claims, fines or expenditures that could be material to results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our business could be adversely affected by a failure or breach of our information technology systems.

Our business operations depend on our information technology (IT) systems. Despite our security and back-up measures, our IT systems are vulnerable to computer viruses,cyber incidents or attacks, natural disasters and other disruptions or failures. Due to the nature

Table of Contents

of cyber-attacks, breaches to our IT systems could go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time. The failure of our IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of

security could disrupt our business and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of our operations and those of our customers, the loss, theft, corruption or inappropriate disclosure of confidential information or critical data, increased overhead costs, loss of revenue, loss of intellectual property and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to prevent or respond to damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future.

Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection.
The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. New laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and recent California legislation, pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate our costs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase the costs and complexity of compliance, and adversely affect our business. As noted above, we are also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws. Additionally, if we acquire a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, we may incur significant liabilities and penalties as a result.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are subject to large fluctuations in response to any of the following:

limited trading volume in our common stock;

quarterly variations in operating results;

general financial market conditions;

the prices of natural gas and oil;

announcements by us and our competitors;

our liquidity;

changes in government regulations;

our ability to raise additional funds;

our involvement in litigation; and

other events.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the near future.

We have not paid any dividends in the past and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors reviewreviews this policy on a regular basis in light of our earnings, financial position and market opportunities. We currently intend to retain any earnings for the future operation and development of our business as well as potential stock repurchases or acquisition opportunities.

Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders.

The existence of some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make acquiring control of our company difficult, including:

provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors;

provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders;

provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business combination transactions with related persons; and

the authorization given to our Board of Directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock.

Our stockholder rights plan could also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, our company or a large block

Item 3.        Legal Proceedings
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 August 2007, the State of Rio de Janeiro served the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary with assessments to collect a state tax on the importation of goods through the State of Espirito Santo from 2002 to 2007 claiming that these taxes were due and payable to it under applicable law. The Company settled these assessments with payments to the State of Rio de Janeiro of $12.2 million in March 2010 and $3.9 million in December 2010. Approximately $7.8 million of these settlement payments were attributable to penalties, interest and amounts that had expired under the statute of limitations so that amount was recorded as an expense. The remainder of the settlement payments generated credits (recorded as a long-term prepaid tax) to be used to offset future state taxes on sales to customers in the State of Rio de Janeiro, subject to certification by the tax authorities. During the second quarter of 2015, the tax authorities certified approximately $8.3 million of those credits paid in 2010 and granted an additional $2.3 million in inflation-related credits. The additional amount of credits granted by the tax authorities increased long-term prepaid taxes and decreased selling, general and administrative expenses by $2.3 million.

In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two additional 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”)(Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Santo Credits are not related to the credits described above. 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. With regard to the December 2010 assessment, theThe Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed an appealappeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul theboth of these tax assessmentassessments following a rulingrulings against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council. In connection with that appeal,those appeals, the Company was required to depositdeposited with the court a total amount of approximately $3.1$8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessmentassessments with penalties and interest. The Company intends to file a similar appeal in the judicial system with regard to the January 2011 assessment as a result of a recent ruling against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council once that ruling is finalized. 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, products of the Company 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.
For a further description of the Company’s legal proceedings, see “Commitments and Contingencies,” Note 915 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also is 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 actions,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 7.        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 consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report.

Overview

In addition, Dril-QuipDril-Quip's customers may rent or purchase running tools from the Company for use in the installation and retrieval of the Company’s products.

Oil and Gas Prices

Both the market for offshore 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 offshore.operations. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.”

During 2018, Brent crude oil prices fluctuated significantly, with a high of $86.07 per barrel, a low of $50.57 per barrel, and an average of $71.34 per barrel compared to an average of $54.15 per barrel in 2017 and $43.67 per barrel in 2016. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, Brent Crude oil prices per barrel are listed below for periods covered by this report:

According to the February 2016December 2018 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent Crudecrude oil prices are projected to average $37.52$61.00 per barrel in 20162019 and $50.00$65.00 per barrel in 2017.2020. The International Energy Agency projected the global oil demand to grow by 1.2approximately 1.4 million barrels per day to a total of 100.6 million barrels per day in 2016 to a total of 95.7 million barrels per day2019 based on its February 2016December 2018 Oil Market Report.

According to the EIA, between January 4, 2016 and February 5, 2016, the price of Brent Crude oil ranged from $26.01 per barrel to $36.28 per barrel, closing at $32.35 per barrel on February 5, 2016.

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 years ended December 31, 2015, 20142018, 2017 and 2013.2016. 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—December 31, 2015, 2014 2018, 2017and 2013

2016

According to IHS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2015,2018, there were 579487 rigs contracted for the Company’s geographic regions (217(146 floating rigs and 362341 jack-up rigs), which represents a 19.3% decrease3.4% increase from the rig count of 717471 rigs (274(148 floating rigs and 443323 jack-up rigs) as of December 31, 2014.2017. The December 31, 20142017 rig count represented a 1.0% decrease2.2% increase from the rig count on December 31, 20132016 of 724461 rigs (278(151 floating rigs and 446310 jack-up rigs).

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, at the end of 2015, 20142018, 2017 and 2013,2016, there were 198, 228121, 138 and 233152 rigs, respectively, under construction. The expected delivery dates for the rigs under construction on December 31, 20152018 are as follows:

However, given the sustained low level 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 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.
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 in order 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 offshore 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,

Table of Contents

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 volatilitypressure 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 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and is expected to improve slightly in certain markets in 2019. A continued significant and prolonged declinedelay in hydrocarbonthe recovery of commodity prices would likely havecould also lead to further material impairment charges to tangible or intangible assets or otherwise result in a material adverse effect on the Company’sCompany'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 tax 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 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. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—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.”

Revenues. Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated from twothree sources: products, services and services.leasing rental tools. Product revenues are derived from the sale of offshore 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. In 2015,2018, the Company derived 81%69% of its revenues from the sale of its products, and 19% of its revenues from services and 12% of its revenues from leasing rental tools, compared to 83%77%, 14% and 17%9% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 20142017, respectively, and 84%80%, 12% and 16%8% for products, services and leasing rental tools in 2013,2016, respectively. Service and leasing revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory assistance services during installation and rental of running tools. However, existing customer equipment can be used in certain circumstances, which creates demand for services with no correlating product sales. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 63%61% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 20152018, 55% in 2017 and 2014 and 67%66% in 2013.2016. Substantially all of the Company’s domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S.U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 37%39% of the Company’s total revenues for 2015in 2018, 45% in 2017 and 2014 and 33%34% in 2013.

2016.

Product contracts are typically 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 world-wideworldwide economic conditions in the offshore 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 as a result of 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, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market conditions.

The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on a percentage-of-completionan over time basis. During 2015,2018, there were 1422 projects that were accounted for using the percentage-of-completionover time method, which represented approximately 16% of the Company’s total revenues and 19%23% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2014,2017, there were 17eight projects that were accounted for using the percentage-of-completionover time method, which represented 11%approximately 13% of the Company’s total revenues and 13%16% of the Company’s product revenues. During 2013,2016, there were 21ten projects that were accounted for using the percentage-of-completionover time method, which represented 15%approximately 14% of the Company’s total revenues and 18%17% of the Company’s product revenues. This percentageThese 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. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work

progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentpercentage complete are reflected in the period when such 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. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of percentage-of-completionover time method of accounting.”

Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. 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 percentage-of-completionover time method, over/under manufacturing overhead absorption 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.

The Company’s U.K. subsidiary, whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, conducts a portion of its operations in U.S. dollars. As a result, this subsidiary holds significant monetary assets denominated in U.S. dollars. These monetary assets are subject to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling, which has resulted in pre-tax non-cash foreign currency gains during the year ended December 31, 2018 totaling $1.0 million.

Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product development and testing, as well as application engineering related to customized products.

Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. Impairment, restructuring and other charges consist of certain goodwill, inventory, long-lived assets and other restructuring costs of $38.6 million, $32.1 million, $14.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively, which occurred in connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the balance consisted of certain inventory and fixed asset write-downs of $27.4 million and $33.6 million, respectively. For more detail, see "Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges", Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and "Goodwill", Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Provision. The Company’s overallProvision. Income tax benefit for 2018 was $19.3 million on net loss before taxes of $115.0 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate has historically been lower thanof 16.8%. Income tax expense in 2017 was $35.0 million on net loss before taxes of $65.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately negative 53%.  The change in the statutory rate primarily due to foreign2018 effective income tax rate differentials, researchwas primarily impacted by the recording of a valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets as well as those in various foreign countries, goodwill impairment, and development creditsthe impact of US Tax Reform and deductions related to domestic manufacturing activities.

The overall decreased revenues were largely due to decreases in the demand for exploration and production equipment, especially subsea equipment, as a result of deteriorating and sustained low oil and gas prices in 2018 and 2017. 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 percentage-of-completion accountingover-time method, market conditions and customer demand. Service revenues increased by approximately $1.1$10.5 million, resulting from increased service revenues in the Western

Hemisphere of $13.8$4.1 million, partially offsetin Asia Pacific of $4.0 million and in the Eastern Hemisphere of $2.4 million. The increase in service revenues was largely due to increased technical advisory assistance and reconditioning of customer-owned property. Leasing revenues increased by decreasesapproximately $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 as a result of $6.8increased rental tool sales of $4.8 million in Asia Pacific and $2.8 million in the Eastern Hemisphere, and $5.9 million in Asia-Pacific. The majority of the increases in service revenues related to increased rental of the Company’s running and installation tools, partially offset by a decrease of $2.8 million in technical advisory assistance.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.For 2015,2018, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $4.8$12.3 million, or 5.2%11%, to $88.0$104.0 million from $92.8$116.3 million in 2014.2017. The Company experienced a non-cash pre-tax foreign currency transaction gain of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to an $8.3 million loss for the same period in 2017. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses wasis primarily due to decreaseslower employee costs of $5.5 million and lower insurance costs of $1.7 million, offset by increases in personnelCorporate costs of $1.4 million and related expensesother various costs of $5.2 million coupled with foreign currency gains$2.8 million. Severance costs were incurred during 2018; however, these are considered part of $5.0the restructuring plan and are included within the "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" line in our consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred $3.0 million in 2015 as compared to gains of $4.5 million in 2014. The decrease was offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $1.2 million to $13.1 million in 2015 from $11.9 million in 2014.severance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 10.5% in 2015 and 10.0% in 2014.

2017, largely due to the decrease in revenues.

Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in connection with the preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. For further information, see "Goodwill", Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additionally, we incurred restructuring, long-lived asset impairments and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.
We recognized an impairment during the year ended December 31, 2017 of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets, as a result of decreased Brent crude (Brent) prices and certain asset utilization. For further discussion, see "Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges", Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to foreign currency translation gains of $4.5 million in 2014 as compared to losses of $6.0 million in 2013. The gainscosts were partially offset by an increaselower selling costs in stock-based compensation expensethe Eastern Hemisphere of $11.9 million in 2014 as compared to $8.9 million in 2013.

Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges. In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets. No additional impairments were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, no impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in 2016 or 2015.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense for 20142017 was $70.7$35.0 million on incomenet loss before taxes of $279.4$65.6 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 25.3%negative 53%.

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 and certain other items, including those that affect the comparability of operating results. This measurement is used in concert with net income, its most directly comparable financial measure, and net cash from operating activities, 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:

(1) Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included negative Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $(2.6) million and $(3.1) million, respectively, related to TIW. These decreases in Adjusted EBITDA were related to lower international orders for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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.

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.capital and (iii) to fund the repurchase of the Company's shares. The Company’s principal source of funds is cash flows from operations.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had availability of $52.2 million under the ABL Credit Facility. The Company may use its liquidity for, among other things, the support of the Company's research and development efforts, the funding of key projects and spending required by any upturn in the Company's business and the pursuit of possible acquisitions.

Net income increased by $38.9 million to $208.7 million in 2014 from $169.8 million in 2013.2016. The reasons for the changes in net income (loss) are set forth in the “Results of Operations” section above.

The change in operating assets and liabilities of $42.1$75.6 million during 20152017 primarily reflectedrelated to decreases in inventories of $64.3 million as a decreaseresult of reductions in trade receivablescustomer orders and efforts to utilize existing inventory, as well as decreases in deferred income taxes as a result of $36.7the newly implemented tax legislation in December 2017 of $24.5 million, decreases in accounts receivable of $21.9 million, and a decreasedecreases in inventory of $28.5 million. Trade receivables decreased primarily due to increased collection efforts and an overall downward shift of market activities. Inventory decreased due to lower balances in finished goods and an increase in the allowance for excess and slow-moving inventory. Prepaids and other assets increased by $17.9 million mostly from advances to suppliers related to long-term projects. Accountsaccounts payable and accrued expenses were lowerof $1.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $89.4$29.7 million which included a decreasedue to increased capital expenditures related to facilities in the Western and Asia Pacific Hemispheres, partially offset by increased proceeds related to sales of $52.8 million in customer prepayments.

The change in operating assets and liabilities of $99.1 million during 2014 primarily reflected an increaseno acquisitions occurring in trade receivables of $102.7 million and an increase in inventory of $36.8 million. Trade receivables increased due to the growth of revenues in 2014 and an increase in unbilled revenues of $15.1 million related to long-term projects. Inventory increased due to higher balances in raw materials and finished goods to accommodate the backlog requirements related to long-term projects. Prepaids and other assets increased by $13.2 million mostly due from advances to suppliers related to long-term projects. Accounts payable and accrued expenses were higher by approximately $54.2 million which included an increase of $26.2 million in customer prepayments.

Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog

Backlog typically consists of firm customer orders of Dril-Quip products for which a purchase order, or signed contract or letter of award has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. Historically, the Company’s revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time.
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.

During the first quarter of 2018, Dril-Quip Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd. was awarded a contract to supply top-tensioned riser (TTR) systems and resulting business environment has resultedrelated services for the development of the 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 a significant decrease in new customer orders.

The Company expects to fill approximately 60%70% to 70%80% of the December 31, 20152018 product backlog by December 31, 2016.2019. The remaining backlog at December 31, 20152018 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. In August 2012, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazil’s national oil company. Following an interim amendment to extend the term of the contract pending the resolution of discussions, the Company entered into an amendment on October 17, 2016 to extend the duration of the contract until July 2020. The contract was valued at $650$650.0 million, net of Brazilian taxes, at exchange rates in effect at that time (approximately $340$342.2 million based on the December 31, 20152018 exchange rate of 3.903.8748 Brazilian real to 1.00 U.S. dollar) if all the equipment under the contract iswas ordered. Amounts are included in the Company’s backlog as purchase orders under the contract are received. Revenues of approximately $106$164.0 million have been recognized on this contract through December 31, 2015.2018. As of December 31, 2015,2018, the Company’s backlog included $47$9.3 million of purchase orders under this Petrobras contract. The Company has not yet recognized revenue of approximately $9$1.0 million as of December 31, 20152018 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 the contract, Petrobras agreed to issue purchase orders totaling a minimum of approximately $25.3 million (based on current exchange rates) before 2019. As of December 31, 2018, Petrobras had issued a total of three purchase orders (one during each year of 2016, 2017 and 2018) totaling the committed amount. The Company is in ongoing discussions with Petrobras regarding this contract and does not expectcannot provide assurance that Petrobras will order all of the equipment under the contract during its current four-year term.contract. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.”

Geographic Segments

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-PacificAsia 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. Revenues for each of these segments are dependent upon the ultimate sale of products and services to the Company’s customers. For information on revenues by geographic segment, see "Geographic Segments", Note 1016 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues of the Western Hemisphere are also influenced by its sale of

products to the Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific segments. Accordingly, the operating incomes of each area are closely tied to third-party sales, and the operating income of the Western Hemisphere is also dependent upon its level of intercompany sales.

Currency Risk

The Company has operations in various countries around the world and conducts business in a number of different currencies other than the U. S.U.S. dollar, principally the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real. 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 generally attempts to minimize its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in local currency in amounts equal to the Company’s estimated operating costs payable in local currency and in U.S. dollars for the balance of the contracts. Because of this strategy, the Company does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future. The Company had, net of income taxes, a transaction gainsgain of $3.9 million and $3.4$0.8 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, and2018, a transaction losses of $4.6loss in $4.0 million in 2013.2017 and a transaction gain of $25.6 million in 2016. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against such fluctuations in the future.

Historically, the The Company has not conductedput in place an active cash management process to convert excess foreign currency and concentrate this cash in certain of our holding company bank accounts to minimize foreign currency risk and increase investment income.

The Company conducts business in certain countries that limit repatriation of earnings. However, as the Company expands its international operations, it may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, there can be no assurance that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future. The Company also has significant investments in countries other than the United States, principally its manufacturing operations in Scotland, Singapore, Brazil and, to a lesser extent, Norway. The functional currency of these foreign operations is the local currency except for Singapore, where the U.S. dollar is used. Financial statement assets and liabilities in the functional currency are translated at the end of the period exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenues

The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:

product revenues are recognized underover time as control is transferred to the percentage-of-completion method;customer; and

product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method.over time method are recognized as point in time.

Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completionover time method

The Company uses the percentage-of-completionover 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; and


Table of Contents

product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory.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 percentpercentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs.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 percentage-of-completionover time method, billings domay not always 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 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 December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, receivables included $70.8$57.0 million and $68.0$41.0 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015,2018, there were 1422 projects representing approximately 16% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 19%23% of its product revenues, and 17eight projects during 20142017 representing approximately 11%13% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 13%16% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using percentage-of-completionover time method of accounting.

Revenues not recognized under the percentage-of-completionpoint in time method

Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the percentage-of-completionover time method, are recorded at the point in time that the manufacturing processescustomer 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 completerecognized 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 ownership isthe 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 earnsrecognizes service revenues from threetwo sources:

technical advisory assistance;

rental of running tools; and

rework and reconditioning of customer-owned Dril-Quip products.

The Company generally does not install products for its customers, but it providesdoes provide technical advisory assistance. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent the Company’s running tools and the Company is not obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the refurbishment process is complete.

The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completionover 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).
Inventories. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or market.net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions.
Inventory Reserves. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions.

items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories of $39.2$108.6 million and $34.6$83.6 million as of December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value, and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Contingent Liabilities. The Company establishes reserves for estimated loss contingencies when the Company believes a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in net income in the period in which different or additional facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Company’s previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon the Company’s assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the outcome differ from the Company’s assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements, contracts or operations.

New Accounting Standards

In November 2015,

The information set forth under Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” In an effort to reduce complexity, the requirement to separate deferred income tax liabilitiescaption "New Accounting Standards" is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7A.    Quantitative and assets into current and noncurrent amounts will no longer be necessary. In the future, all deferred income taxes will be considered noncurrent and will continue to be offset into a single amount within each country. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s financial statements will be revised to reflect this amendment beginning in the first quarter of 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330).” This standard states that inventory within the scope of this update should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendment applies a new five-step revenue recognition model to be used in recognizing revenues associated with customer contracts. The amendment requires disclosure sufficient to enable readers of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill the contract. The standard’s effective date was originally for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. On

April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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 currency 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 from December 31, 2014.

2017.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the United States dollar, principally the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real. The Company has not experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future. However, theredollar. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future. In periods where the dollar is strong as compared to other currencies, it is possible that foreign sales may reflect a decline in profits due to translation. It does not appear the Company’s sales have experienced significant profit declines. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Currency Risk” in Item 7 of this report.

The Company uses a sensitivity analysis model to measure the potential impact on revenue and net income of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates for the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar over the previous year. Based upon this model, a 10% decrease would have resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $35.5$13.0 million and a decreasean increase in net income of approximately $13.5$0.1 million for 2015.2018. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate decrease projected above will materialize as fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond the Company’s control.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management has designed its internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework inInternal Control—Integrated Framework(2013), our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.

2018.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, andas stated in their report is set forth on page 45.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company’s investment objectives continue to be the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.

Trade Receivables

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to amounts estimated to be uncollectible. This estimate is based upon historical collection experience combined with a specific review of each customer’s outstanding trade receivable balance. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance.


Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or market.net realizable value. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations and approximate actual costs. Inventory purchased from third-party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions.
Inventory Reserves. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The Company determines the reserve percentages based on an analysis of stocking levels, historical sales levels and future sales forecasts anticipated for inventory items by product type. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories. Inventory reserves inventories of $39.2$108.6 million and $34.6$83.6 million were recorded as of December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

We capitalize costs incurred to enhance, improve and extend the useful lives of our property and equipment and expense costs incurred to repair and maintain the existing condition of our assets.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, an assessment for impairment is performed annually or when there is an indication an impairment may have occurred. We complete our annual impairment test for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles using an assessment date of October 1. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each of our reporting unit’s net assets, including allocated goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow approach. We selected this valuation approach because we believe it, combined with our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates, provides the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, future operating margins, the weighted average cost of capital ("discount rates"), a terminal growth value, and future market conditions, among others. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its calculated fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, an impairment charge is recognized by reflecting the asset at its fair value. No impairmentsWe review the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets based upon estimated future cash flows while taking into consideration assumptions and estimates, including the future use of the asset, remaining useful life of the asset and service potential of the asset. Additionally, inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Restructuring costs and other charges
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, combined with the impact of decreased capital expenditure budgets within the industry driven by sustained low oil prices, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived assets wereasset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of expected changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Additionally, in connection with our preparation and review of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded in 2015, 2014 or 2013.

an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 9, Goodwill.

Income Taxes


Table of Contents

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts that are expected more likely than not to be realized in the future. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income taxes in its financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenues

The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:

product revenues are recognized underover time as control is transferred to the percentage-of-completion method;customer; and

product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method.over time method are recognized as point in time.

Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completionover time method

The Company uses the percentage-of-completionover 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; and

product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Company’s standard inventory.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 percentpercentage complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs.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 percentage-of-completionover time method, billings domay not always 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 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 December 31, 20152018 and 2014,2017, receivables included $70.8$57.0 million and $68.0$41.0 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015,2018, there were 1422 projects representing approximately 16% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 19%23% of its product revenues, and 17eight projects during 20142017 representing approximately 11%13% of the Company’s total revenues and approximately 13%16% of its product revenues, which were accounted for using percentage-of-completionover time method of accounting.

Revenues not recognized under the percentage-of-completionpoint in time method

Revenues from the sale of standard inventory products, not accounted for under the percentage-of-completionover time method, are recorded at the point in time that the manufacturing processescustomer 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 completerecognized 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 ownership isthe 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.



Table of Contents

Service revenues

The Company earnsrecognizes service revenues from threetwo sources:

technical advisory assistance;

rental of running tools; 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. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent the Company’s running tools and the Company is not obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the refurbishment process is complete.

The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completionover 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 dayrate basis over the lease term.
Practical Expedients
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Foreign Currency

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and have no effect on current earnings or cash flows.

Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. The Company experienced exchange gainslosses (gains) of approximately $3.9$(0.8) million, $12.7 million and $3.4$(25.6) million in 2015during the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2014,2016, respectively, and exchange losses of $4.6 million in 2013, net of income taxes. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a pre-tax basis.

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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses, and actual losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

In addition, the Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. Changes in the financial markets and interest rates could affect the interest earned on short-term investments.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share areis computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.period. Diluted earnings per common share areis computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method.


3. New Accounting Standards

In November 2015,February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17 “Income TaxesAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 740).842)In an effort to reduce complexityincrease transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring (1) recognition of

In the future, all deferred income taxes will be considered noncurrent and will continue to be offset into a single amount within each country. The standard(2) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 20162018. A modified retrospective approach is required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. We expect to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s financial statements(3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We additionally expect to use the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component. We will be revisedadopt this guidance at the adoption date of January 1, 2019, using the transition method that allows us to reflect this amendment beginninginitially apply Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first quarterperiod of 2017.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330).” This standard states that inventory within the scope of this update should be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluatingadoption. We do not expect to recognize a material adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. We are additionally assessing the impact of Topic 842 on our internal controls over financial reporting.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We lease certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment under both operating and capital lease arrangements. Capital leases are expected to be accounted for as finance leases upon adoption of Topic 842, and we do not expect any significant changes to the new guidanceaccounting for such leases upon adoption. Under Topic 842, operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on itsthe balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Under Topic 842, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, upon adoption of Topic 842, we will use our estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU assets will also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense under Topic 842 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we expect to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component under Topic 842.
The adoption of Topic 842 will have an estimated $7.1 million impact on our consolidated balance sheet based on our current portfolio of leases due to the recognition of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated income statement or our consolidated cash flow statement. Because of the transition method we will use to adopt Topic 842, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to adoption and the adoption of Topic 842 will have no impact on our previously reported results. The future minimum lease payments for our operating leases as of December 31, 2018 are discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

The undiscounted total of such payments was $9.4 million. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we expect to recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities that reflect the present value of these future payments. After the adoption of Topic 842, we will first report the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019 based on our lease portfolio as of that date.

The components of our historic lease expense and the future lease payments are discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. The capital leases addressed in Note 14 are expected to be accounted for as finance leases upon adoption of Topic 842, and we do not expect any significant changes to the accounting for such leases upon adoption.
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendment applies aOn January 1, 2018, we adopted the new five-stepaccounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (the "new revenue recognition modelstandard”) for contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application using the modified retrospective method.
We recognized the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new revenue standard as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for $1.7 million. Therefore, the comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be usedreported under the accounting standards in recognizingeffect for those periods.
A majority of the Company's revenues associatedare not subject to the new revenue standard. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.6 million in our results from operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. A majority of our product revenues continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our facilities.

OPT
On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired OPT for approximately $20.0 million, which was subject to customary adjustments for cash and working capital. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price was subject to closing adjustments and was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition does not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. OPT's results of operations for the periods prior to this acquisition were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other long-term liabilities consist of contingent consideration related to the OPT acquisition in the amount timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising$2.0 million.

Restructuring Charges
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, including lower commodity prices, the decline in expected offshore rig counts, decreases in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects, as well as the decline in our stock price in December 2018 which resulted in our market capitalization decreasing to below the

carrying value of our assets, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Goodwill
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 9, Goodwill.
2017 Impairment of Inventory and Long-lived Assets
In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization, and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets. No additional impairments were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, no impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2016.

9. Goodwill
There was no impairment of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit during the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:

At October 1, 2018, the Company is required to recognizeperformed its annual impairment test on each of its reporting units and concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Relevant events and circumstances that could have a negative impact on goodwill include: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market conditions, such as commodity prices; operating cost factors; overall financial performance; the impact of dispositions and acquisitions; and other entity-specific events. Further declines in commodity prices or sustained lower valuation for the Company's common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to an impairment of reporting unit goodwill.
The fair values were determined using the net present value of the expected future cash flows for each reporting unit. During the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determined the fair value of each of its reporting units as a whole using discounted cash flow analysis, which requires significant assumptions and estimates about the future operations of each reporting unit. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our revised strategic budget for 2019 and for future periods, and management’s beliefs about future activity levels. The discount rates we used for future periods could change substantially if the cost of debt or equity were to significantly increase or decrease, or if we were to choose different comparable companies in determining the appropriate discount rates for our reporting units. Forecasted cash flows in future periods were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered long-term earnings growth rates.
In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. Further, in December 2018 due to the decline in our stock price, our market capitalization dropped below the carrying value of our assets. As a result, an interim goodwill impairment analysis was performed in connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $38.6 million for our Western Hemisphere reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018. Following this impairment charge, the Western Hemisphere reporting unit has no remaining goodwill balance. The remaining goodwill balance is associated with our Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit. Based on our interim goodwill impairment analysis the fair value of the Eastern Hemisphere reporting unit exceeds its carry value by 71%. Further declines in the overall offshore market, commodity prices, or sustained lower valuation for the Company’s common stock could indicate a reduction in the estimate of the Eastern Hemisphere’s reporting unit fair value which, in turn, could lead to additional impairment charges associated with goodwill. No goodwill impairment losses were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

At October 1, 2017, the Company performed its annual impairment test on its indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets and concluded that there had been no impairment because the estimated fair values of each of those intangible assets exceeded its carrying value. In December 2018, the overall offshore market conditions declined. This decline was evidenced by lower commodity prices, decline in expected offshore rig counts, decrease in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects. As a result, we determined that the trademark asset is no longer indefinite lived and determined a 15-year useful life to be appropriate based on our current market forecast.
Amortization expense was $2.4 million, $2.4 million and $0.2 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on the carrying value of intangible assets at December 31, 2018, amortization expense for the subsequent five years is estimated to be as follows: 2019—$2.2 million; 2020—$2.1 million; 2021—$2.1 million; 2022—$2.1 million; and 2023—$2.1 million.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, the Company has assessed whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In making this determination, the Company considered taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The Company has a three-year cumulative loss at December 31, 2018 in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions and has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2018 of $31.8 million against deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (US Tax Reform). In 2017, we recorded provisional amounts for certain enactment-date effects of US Tax Reform by applying the guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 because we had not yet completed our enactment-date accounting for these said effects. In 2017, the Company recorded tax expense related to the enactment-date effects of US Tax Reform that included recording the one-time transition tax liability related to undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were not previously taxed and adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities. The changes to the 2017 enactment-date provisional amounts increased the effective tax rate in 2018 by 13.7%. At December 31, 2018, we have now completed our accounting for all the enactment-date income tax effects of US Tax Reform. As further discussed below, during 2018, we recognized adjustments of $15.8 million to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017 and included these adjustments as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
US Tax Reform eliminated the deferral of U.S. income tax on the historical unrepatriated earnings by imposing a transition tax, which is a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings. The transition tax is assessed on the U.S. shareholder’s share of the foreign corporation’s accumulated foreign earnings that have not previously been taxed. Earnings in the form of cash and cash equivalents will be taxed at a rate of 15.5% and all other earnings will be taxed at a rate of 8.0%. As of December 31, 2017, we accrued income tax liabilities of $32.6 million under the transition tax.
Upon further analyses of US Tax Reform and additional Notices and regulations issued and proposed by the US Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service, we finalized our calculations of the transition tax liability during 2018. We decreased our December 31, 2017 provisional amount by $15.8 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the rate expected to apply when these temporary differences are expected to be sustained upon examinationrealized or settled. As of December 31, 2017, we remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based uponon the technical meritsrates at which they were expected to reverse in the future, by recording a provisional amount of $13.6 million. Upon further analysis of certain aspects of US Tax Reform and refinement of our calculations during the year ended December 31, 2018, we adjusted our provisional amount by $1.6 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.
US Tax Reform subjects a US shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI). We have elected to account for GILTI in the year that the tax is incurred as a period expense.

practicable at this time.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized with respect to any tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company had noan uncertain tax positions that required recognition in the consolidated financial statementsposition of $18.6 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014. If it is more likely than not that the related2018 due to uncertainty in tax benefits will not be realized, a valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary.

14. 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

Table of Contents

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 December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2018, the availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $52.2 million, after taking into account the outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.7 million issued under the facility.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment. Total lease expense incurred was $5.1$5.4 million, $4.2$6.0 million and $3.5$5.0 million in 2015, 20142018, 2017 and 2013,2016, respectively. Future annual minimum lease commitments at December 31, 20152018 are as follows: 2016—2019—$3.22.0 million; 2017—$2.1 million; 2018—$1.8 million; 2019—2020—$1.5 million; 2020—2021—$1.30.8 million; 2022—$0.5 million; 2023—$0.4 million; and thereafter—$4.44.2 million.

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 August 2007, the State of Rio de Janeiro served the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary with assessments to collect a state tax on the importation of goods through the State of Espirito Santo from 2002 to 2007 claiming that these taxes were due and payable to it under applicable law. The Company settled these assessments with payments to the State of Rio de Janeiro of $12.2 million in March 2010 and $3.9 million in December 2010.

Approximately $7.8 million of these settlement payments were attributable to penalties, interest and amounts that had expired under the statute of limitations so that amount was recorded as an expense. The remainder of the settlement payments generated credits (recorded as a long-term prepaid tax) to be used to offset future state taxes on sales to customers in the State of Rio de Janeiro, subject to certification by the tax authorities. During the second quarter of 2015, the tax authorities certified approximately $8.3 million of those credits paid in 2010 and granted an additional $2.3 million in inflation-related credits. The additional amount of credits granted by the tax authorities increased long-term prepaid taxes and decreased selling, general and administrative expenses by $2.3 million.

In December 2010 and January 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary was served with two additional 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”)(Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Santo Credits are not related to the credits described above. 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. With regard to the December 2010 assessment, theThe Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed an appealappeals with a State of Rio de Janeiro judicial court to annul theboth of these tax assessmentassessments following a rulingrulings against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council. In connection with that appeal,those appeals, the Company was required to depositdeposited with the court a total amount of approximately $3.1$8.8 million in December 2014 and December 2016 as the full amount of the assessmentassessments with penalties and interest. The Company intends to file a similar appeal in the judicial system with regard to the January 2011 assessment as a result of a recent ruling against the Company by the tax administration’s highest council once that ruling is finalized. 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.

In 2018, BP and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2017 and 2016, Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 14% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2018, 2017 or 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company pursued a restructuring of its entities to prepare it for potential increased activity in international markets. The main focus of the restructuring was to consolidate excess foreign cash held offshore and create an internal financing capability. The excess foreign cash is now held in a treasury concentration center in the Eastern Hemisphere where it is invested when not required to fund international operations. When required, these funds can be easily deployed to meet the working capital requirements of foreign operations. This structure was put in place as the Company expects that when the market rebounds, future work will come from international markets, especially Europe and Asia Pacific.
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-PacificAsia 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.

In 2015, Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s total revenues. In 2014, Chevron and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s total revenues and in 2013, Petrobras and its affiliated companies accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s total revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2015, 2014 or 2013.

(as amended in 2012 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 10, 2012, the “2004 Plan”), which reserved up to 2,696,294 shares of common stock to be used in connection with the 2004 Plan.

Persons eligible for awards under the 2017 Plan are employees with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors.
Stock Options
Options granted under the 2004 Plan have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-fourth of the total number of shares of common stock subject thereto, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.

No stock options have been granted under the 2017 Plan.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life was based on the Company’s historical trends, and volatility is based on the historical volatility over the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date. The Company does not pay dividends and, therefore, there is no assumed dividend yield.
