NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newpark Resources, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as “we,” “our”“our,” or “us,” have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and do not include all information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Our fiscal year end is December 31, our second quarter represents the three-month period ended June 30, and our first half represents the six-month period ended June 30. The results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2018,2019, our results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 20182019 and 2017,2018, and our cash flows for the first half of 20182019 and 2017.2018. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Our balance sheet at December 31, 20172018 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, see Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Adopted in 20182019
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.Leases. In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, and recorded a net reduction of $2.3 million to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of adoption for contracts not completed as of December 31, 2017. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance.
The adoption of this new guidance primarily affected the timing of revenue recognition for drilling fluid additive products provided to customers in the delivery of an integrated fluid system in our U.S. drilling fluids business. Under previous guidance, we recognized revenue for these products upon shipment of materials and passage of title, with a reserve for estimated product returns. Under the new guidance, we recognize revenue for these products when they are utilized, which generally occurs at the time of consumption by the customer. There was no material impact on reported revenues for the second quarter or first half of 2018 as a result of applying the new revenue recognition guidance.
The adoption of this guidance also requires additional disclosures for disaggregated revenues, which are included in Note 11. The following provides a summary of our significant accounting policies for revenue recognition under the new guidance for periods beginning after December 31, 2017.
Revenue Recognition - Fluids Systems.Revenues for drilling fluid additive products and engineering services, when provided to customers in the delivery of an integrated fluid system, are recognized as product revenues when utilized by the customer. Revenues for formulated liquid systems are recognized as product revenues when utilized or lost downhole while drilling. Revenues for equipment rentals and other services provided to customers that are ancillary to the fluid system product delivery are recognized in rental and services revenues when the services are performed. For direct sales of drilling fluid products, revenues are recognized when control passes to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of materials.
Revenue Recognition - Mats and Integrated Services. Revenues for rentals and services are generated from both fixed-price and unit-priced contracts, which are generally short-term in duration. The activities under these contracts include the installation and rental of matting systems for a period of time and services such as site planning and preparation, pit design, access road construction, environmental protection, fluids and spill storage/containment, erosion control, site restoration services and construction and drilling waste management. Rental revenues are recognized over the rental term and services revenues are


recognized when the specified services are performed. Revenues from any subsequent extensions to the rental agreements are recognized over the extension period. Revenues from the sale of mats are recognized when control passes to the customer, which is upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the underlying sales contract.
For both segments, the amount of revenue we recognize for products sold and services performed reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services, which generally reflects the amount we have the right to invoice based on agreed upon unit rates. While billing requirements vary, many of our customer contracts require that billings occur periodically or at the completion of specified activities, even though our performance and right to consideration occurs throughout the contract. As such, we recognize revenue as performance is completed in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. We do not disclose the value of our unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue for the amount to which we have the right to invoice for products sold and services performed.
Shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost of revenues, and all reimbursements by customers of shipping and handling costs are included in revenues.
Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. In October 2016, the FASB amended the guidance related to the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than the previous requirement to defer recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party. This update does not change U.S. GAAP for the pre-tax effects of an intra-entity asset transfer or for an intra-entity transfer of inventory. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method, and recorded a net reduction of $4.5 million to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of adoption for the current and deferred income tax consequences of an intra-entity sale of mats from the U.S. to the U.K. completed prior to 2018.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the new guidance for revenue from contracts with customers and the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory were as follows:

Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our historical financial statements or related disclosures.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB amended the guidance related to the accounting for leases. The new guidance provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financingfinance and operating leases. The classification as either a financingfinance or operating lease will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. This
We adopted this new guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2019, and will be applied retrospectively as of the date of adoption, although the FASB is currently considering allowingJanuary 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. As partmethod, and recorded approximately $28 million of operating lease assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019, with no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The new guidance had no impact on our assessment work to date, we have formed an implementation work team, conducted a preliminary analysisconsolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to review contractsbe reported in our lease portfolio. Based on our current lease portfolio, we anticipateaccordance with previous guidance.
As permitted under the transition guidance within the new guidance will require usstandard, we elected to reflect additional assetscarry forward the historical lease identification and liabilities on ourclassification for existing leases upon adoption. We have also made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheet; however, we have not yet completed an estimation of such amount and we are still evaluating the overall impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and relatedsheets. See Note 8 for additional required disclosures.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” for such assets at inception which will generally result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020 with early adoption permitted, and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. WeAs part of our assessment work to date, we have formed an implementation work team and conducted a preliminary analysis of the new guidance. Based on our current financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, we anticipate the new guidance will require us to reflect additional credit loss expense; however, we have not yet completed an estimation of such amount and we are currentlystill evaluating the overall impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2 – Business Combinations
In November 2017, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Well Service Group, Inc. and Utility Access Solutions, Inc. (together, “WSG”). The purchase price for this acquisition was approximately $77.4 million, net of cash acquired, which included $45.0 million of cash consideration and the issuance of 3,361,367 shares of our common equity valued at $32.4 million. The results of operations of WSG are reported within the Mats and Integrated Services segment for the periods subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
The WSG transaction has been recorded using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition resulted in the preliminary recognition of $27.0 million in other intangible assets consisting primarily of customer relationships, technology and tradename. All of the other intangibles are finite-lived intangible assets that are preliminarily expected to be amortized over periods of 10 to 15 years with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 13 years. The excess of the total consideration was recorded as goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, and includes the value of the assembled workforce. The fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on the company's estimates and assumptions using various market, income and cost valuation approaches, which are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. While the initial purchase price allocation has been completed, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to change for a period of one year following the closing date of the acquisition.
The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the November 13, 2017 acquisition date, updated for changes to the purchase price allocation during the first half of 2018.

The unsecured convertible senior notes due 2017 (2017 Convertible Notes”) were repaid upon maturity in October 2017. The 2021 Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7) only impact the calculation of diluted net income per share in periods that the average price of our common stock, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2021 Convertible Notes, exceeds the conversion price of $9.33 per share. We have the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock, or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the 2021 Convertible Notes as further described in Note 7. If converted, we currently intend to settle the principal amount of the notes in cash and as a result, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amount of the notes, if any, are assumed to be settled with shares of common stock for purposes of computing diluted net income per share.




Note 3 – Repurchase Program
In November 2018, our Board of Directors authorized changes to our existing securities repurchase program. The authorization increased the amount under the repurchase program to $100 million, available for repurchases of any combination of our common stock and our 2021 Convertible Notes. The repurchase program has no specific term. Repurchases are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and borrowings under our ABL Facility (as defined in Note 7). As part of the share repurchase program, our management has been authorized to establish trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
During the first half of 2019, we repurchased an aggregate of 2,047,014 shares of our common stock under our Board authorized repurchase program for a total cost of $15.5 million. There were no shares repurchased under the program during the first half of 2018. As of June 30, 2019, we had $84.5 million of authorization remaining under the program.
Note 4 - Stock-Based and Other Long TermLong-Term Incentive Compensation
During the second quarter of 2018,2019, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan from 9,800,000 to 12,300,000 shares and remove the fungible share counting provision.
During the second quarter of 2019, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved equity-based compensation to executive officers and other key employees, consisting of 917,9011,135,216 shares of restricted stock units which will primarily vest in equal installments over a three-year period. At June 30, 2018, there2019, 3,229,820 shares remained 959,889 shares available for award under the 2015 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).Plan. In addition, non-employee directors received a grant of 85,578104,900 shares of restricted stock awards which will vest in full on the earlier of the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value was $10.58$7.34 per share for both the restricted stock units and $10.75 per share for the restricted stock awards.
Also during the second quarter of 2018,2019, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of cash-settled awards to certain executive officers, including $1.3 millionconsisting of time-based cash awards and a target amount of $1.3$2.3 million of performance-based cash awards. The time-based cash awards vest in equal installments over a three-year period and the performance-based cash awards will be settled based on the relative ranking of our total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of our designated peer group over a three-year period. The performance period began June 1, 20182019 and ends May 31, 2021,2022, with the ending TSR price being equal to the average closing price of our shares over the 30-calendar days ending May 31, 20212022 and the cash payout for each executive ranging from 0% to 150%200% of target. The performance-based cash awards are accrued as a liability award over the performance period based on the estimated fair value. The fair value of the performance-based cash awards is remeasured each period using a Monte-Carlo valuation model with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
In February 2019, the Compensation Committee modified our retirement policy applicable to cash and equity awards granted to include our Chief Executive Officer and those officers who report to our Chief Executive Officer, whom were previously excluded from the retirement policy. In addition, the Compensation Committee also modified the retirement policy for certain vested stock options that remain outstanding to extend the exercise period available following the qualifying retirement of eligible employees. As a result of these modifications, we recognized a pretax charge of approximately $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2019. This charge primarily reflects the acceleration of expense, as well as the incremental value associated with modifications to extend the exercise period of outstanding options, for previously-granted awards for retirement eligible executive officers.

2021 Convertible Notes. In December 2016, we issued $100.0 million of unsecured convertible senior notes (“2021 Convertible Notes”) that mature on December 1, 2021, unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to the terms of the notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
Holders may convert the notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (regardless of whether consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the notes in effect on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the notes, such as a consolidation, merger, or share exchange.
On or after June 1, 2021 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. As of July 26, 2018,29, 2019, the notes were not convertible.
The notes are convertible into, at our election, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions and during specified periods, as described above. If converted, we currently intend to pay cash for the principal amount of the notes converted. The conversion rate is initially 107.1381 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $9.33 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may not redeem the notes prior to their maturity date.
In accordance with accounting guidance for convertible debt with a cash conversion option, we separately accounted for the debt and equity components of the notes in a manner that reflected our estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the carrying amount of the debt component was $79.7$84.9 million, which is net of the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $18.2$13.5 million and $2.0$1.6 million, respectively. Including the impact of the debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the notes is approximately 11.3%.
Asset-Based Loan Facility. In May 2016, we entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement which replaced our previous credit agreement. In October 2017, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in March 2019, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "ABL Facility"“ABL Facility”) which amended. The March 2019 amendment increased the amount available for borrowings, reduced applicable borrowing rates, and restatedextended the prior asset-based revolving credit agreement.term. The ABL Facility provides financing of up to $150.0$200.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit) and can be increased up to a maximum capacity of $225.0$275.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2018,2019, our total borrowing base availability under the ABL Facility was $150.0$165.7 million, of which $113.9$70.8 million was drawn, resulting in remaining availability of $36.1$94.9 million.
The ABL Facility terminates on October 17, 2022;in March 2024; however, the ABL Facility has a springing maturity date that will accelerate the maturity of the ABL Facility to September 1, 2021 if, prior to such date, the 2021 Convertible Notes have not either been repurchased, redeemed, convertedrefinanced, exchanged or otherwise satisfied in full or we have not providedescrowed an amount of funds, that together with the amount that we establish as a reserve against our borrowing capacity, is sufficient funds to repayfor the future settlement of the 2021 Convertible Notes in full onat their maturity date. For this purpose, funds may be provided in cash to an escrow agent or a combination of cash to an escrow


agent and the assignment of a portion of availability under the ABL Facility.maturity. The ABL Facility requires compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum unused availability of $25.0 million to utilize borrowings or assignment of availability under the ABL Facility towards funding the repayment of the 2021 Convertible Notes.
Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and limits on such assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by us, the borrowing base calculation shall also includeincludes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The lender may establish such reserves, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits at its discretion which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the ABL Facility. Availability associated with eligible rental mats will also be subject to maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum level of operating income for the Mats and Integrated Services segment.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin based on either, (1) LIBOR subject to a floor of zero or (2) a base rate equal to the highest of: (a) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. orand (c) LIBOR, subject to a floor of zero, plus 100 basis points.points, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 175150 to 275200 basis points for LIBOR borrowings, and 75 50


to 175100 basis points for base rate borrowings, based on the ratio of debt to consolidated EBITDAfixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the applicable margin for borrowings under our ABL Facility was 200150 basis points with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 10050 basis points with respect to base rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Facility was 4.1%4.3% at June 30, 2018.2019. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the ABL Facility ranging from 25 to 37.5 basis points, based on the ratiolevel of debt to consolidated EBITDA,outstanding borrowings, as defined in the ABL Facility. TheAs of June 30, 2019, the applicable commitment fee as of June 30, 2018 was 37.5 basis points.
The ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation, secured by first liens on all of our U.S. tangible and intangible assets, and a portion of the capital stock of our non-U.S. subsidiaries has also been pledged as collateral. The ABL Facility contains customary operating covenants and certain restrictions including, among other things, the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions, affiliate transactions, stock repurchases and other restricted payments. The ABL Facility also requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio if availability under the ABL Facility falls below $22.5 million. In addition, the ABL Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, a failure to make payments under the facility, acceleration of more than $25.0 million of other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, and certain change of control events.
Other Debt. Our foreign subsidiaries in Italy, India, and Canada maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit which are renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. Advances under these short-term credit arrangements are typically based on a percentage of the subsidiary’s accounts receivable or firm contracts with certain customers. We had $0.5$1.3 million and $1.0$1.1 million respectively, outstanding under these arrangements at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018, respectively.
At June 30, 2018,2019, we had letters of credit issued and outstanding of $5.8$8.9 million that are collateralized by $6.6$9.4 million in restricted cash. Additionally, our foreign operations had $26.1$39.3 million outstanding in letters of credit and other guarantees, primarily issued under a credit arrangement in Italy as well as certain letters of credit that are collateralized by $2.2$2.0 million in restricted cash.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt. We believe the carrying values of these instruments, with the exception of our 2021 Convertible Notes, approximated their fair values at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The estimated fair value of our 2021 Convertible Notes was $137.3$107.0 million at June 30, 20182019 and $127.3$120.9 million at December 31, 2017,2018, based on quoted market prices at these respective dates.






Note 8 – Income TaxesLeases
The U.S. Tax CutsWe lease certain office space, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, land, and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enactedequipment. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 8 years with various extension and termination options. We consider these options in determining the lease term used to establish our operating lease assets and liabilities. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on December 22, 2017 resulting in broad and complex changes to U.S. income tax law. The Tax Act includes a one-time transition tax in 2017 on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax, reducesstraight-line basis over the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, generally eliminates U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, creates new tax on certain foreign-sourced earnings, makes other changes to limit certain deductions and changes rules on how certain tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. Due to the timinglease term.
Leases consisted of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in our financial statementsfollowing:

Total operating lease expenses were $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. As we finalize the necessary data, and interpret the Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), or other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments to these provisional amounts during 2018.
Provisional amounts for the following income tax effectssecond quarter of the Tax Act were recorded as2019, of December 31, 2017 and are subject to change during 2018. We have not made any significant measurement-period adjustmentswhich $4.8 million related to these items during the first half of 2018. However, we are continuingshort-term leases and $2.5 million related to gather additional information to complete our accounting for these items and may make adjustments to the provisional amounts during 2018.
One-Time Transition Tax
The Tax Act requires us to pay U.S. income taxes on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% to the extent of foreign cash and certain other net current assets and 8% on the remaining earnings. We recorded a provisional amount of $6.9 million in 2017 for our one-time transitional tax liability and income tax expense based on estimates of the effects of the Tax Act. We continue to analyze the significant data from our foreign subsidiaries in connection with the completion of our 2017 income tax returns.
Taxes on Repatriation of Foreign Earnings
Prior to the Tax Act, we considered the unremitted earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries held directly by a U.S. parent to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, had not provided any deferred income taxes. As a result of the Tax Act, we now intend to pursue repatriation of unremitted earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries held directly by a U.S. parent to the extent that such earnings have been includedleases recognized in the one-time transition tax discussed above, and subject to cash requirements to support the strategic objectives of the non-U.S. subsidiary. As such, we recorded a provisional amount of $7.0 million in 2017 for the estimated liability and income tax expense for any U.S. federal or state income taxes or additional foreign withholding taxes related to repatriation of such earnings. In addition, in 2017 we recognized certain foreign tax credits of $5.5 million in the U.S. related to the provisional accounting for taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings, however, we also recognized a full valuation allowance related to such tax assets as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. The provisional amounts recorded in 2017 may change as we finalize the analysis of these items during 2018.
In 2018, our income tax provision includes the estimated expense for any U.S. federal and state income taxes from the new tax on certain foreign-sourced earnings as well as any additional foreign withholding taxes related to future repatriation of current year earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries held directly by a U.S. parent.
Deferred Tax Effects
The Tax Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% for years after 2017. Accordingly, we remeasured our U.S. net deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the reduced rate that will apply in future periods when those deferred taxes are settled or realized. We recognized a provisional deferred tax benefit of $17.4 million in 2017 to reflect the reduced U.S. tax rate on our estimated U.S. net deferred tax liabilities. Although the tax rate reduction is known, we have not completed our analysis of the effect of the Tax Act on the underlying deferred taxes for the items discussed above, and as such, the amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017 are provisional.
The net tax benefit recognized in 2017 related to the Tax Act was $3.4 million. As we complete our analysis of the Tax Act and incorporate additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS or other standard-setting bodies, we may identify additional effects not reflected as of December 31, 2017. Those adjustments may materially impact our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act will be completed in 2018.
The provision for income taxes was $7.2balance sheet. Total operating lease expenses were $14.4 million for the first half of 2018, reflecting an effective tax rate2019, of 29%, compared to $3.5which $9.4 million for the first half of 2017, reflecting an effective tax rate of 84%. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2018 includes a $0.8 million net excess tax benefit primarily related to the vesting of certain stock-based compensation awardsshort-term leases and $5.0 million related to leases recognized in the second quarter. Although the Tax Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate effectiveJanuary 1, 2018, our provisionbalance sheet. Total operating lease expenses approximate cash paid during each period. Amortization and interest for finance leases are not material. Operating lease expenses and amortization of leased assets for finance leases are included in either cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expenses. Interest for finance leases is included in interest expense, net.

for income taxes in 2018 also includes the estimated expense for any U.S. federal and state income taxes from the new tax on certain foreign-sourced earnings as well as any additional foreign withholding taxes related to future repatriation of current year earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Due to the relative contribution of our domestic and foreign earnings, these taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and the impact of changes to deduction limitations from the Tax Act effectively offset the benefit of the lower U.S. corporate statutory tax rate in our 2018 provision for income taxes. The impact of the Tax Act on our effective tax rate in future periods will depend in large part on the relative contribution of our domestic and foreign earnings, as well as finalization of the provisional accounting for the Tax Act in 2018. The 2017 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by pre-tax losses in certain international jurisdictions, most notably Australia, and non-deductible expenses relative to the amount of pre-tax income.
We file income tax returns in the United States and several non-U.S. jurisdictions and are subject to examination in the various jurisdictions in which we file. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal and substantially all state jurisdictions for years prior to 2012 and for substantially all foreign jurisdictions for years prior to 2008. We are currently under examination by the United States federal tax authorities for tax years 2014 2016. During the second quarter and first half of 2017,2019, we received a Revenue Agententered into $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of new operating lease liabilities in exchange for leased assets.

Following an audit in 2015, the treasury authority in Mexico issued a tax assessment (inclusive of interest and penalties) in the amount of 60 million pesos (approximately $3.3 million) to our Mexico subsidiary primarily in connection with the export of mats from Mexico which took place in 2010.  The mats that are the subject of this assessment were owned by a U.S. subsidiary and leased to our Mexico subsidiary for matting projects in the Mexican market. In 2010, we made the decision to move these mats out of Mexico to markets with higher demand. The Mexican treasury authority determined the export of the mats was the equivalent of a sale, and assessed taxes on the gross declared value of the exported mats to our Mexico subsidiary. We retained outside legal counsel and filed administrative appeals with the treasury authority, but we were notified on April 13, 2018, that the last administrative appeal had been rejected. In the second quarter of 2018, we filed an appeal in the Mexican Federal Tax Court, which required that we post a bond in the amount of the assessed taxes (plus additional interest). Although the tax appeals process has not concluded, we believe our tax position is properly reported in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations in Mexico and intend to vigorously defend our position through the tax appeals process.

We are also under examination by various tax authorities in other countries, and certain foreign jurisdictions have challenged the amounts of taxes due for certain tax periods. These audits are in various stages of completion. We fully cooperate with all audits, but defend existing positions vigorously. We evaluate the potential exposure associated with various filing positions and record a liability for uncertain tax positions as circumstances warrant. Although we believe all tax positions are reasonable and properly reported in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations in effect during the periods involved, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals.



Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions, as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state, and local levels. While the outcome of litigation or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such litigation or other proceedings, in excess of any amounts accrued or covered by insurance, has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Escrow Claims Related to the Sale of the Environmental Services Business
Under the terms of the March 2014 sale of our previous Environmental Services business to Ecoserv, LLC (“Ecoserv”), $8.0 million of the sales price was withheld and placed in an escrow account to satisfy claims for possible breaches of representations and warranties contained in the purchase/sale agreement. In December 2014, we received a letter from Ecoserv asserting that we had breached certain representations and warranties contained in the purchase/sale agreement, including failing to disclose operational problems and service work performed on injection/disposal wells and increased barge rental costs. The letter indicated that Ecoserv expected the damages associated with these claims to exceed the escrow amount. In July 2015 we filed an action against Ecoserv in state district court in Harris County, Texas, seeking release of the escrow funds. Thereafter, Ecoserv filed a counterclaim seeking recovery in excess of the escrow funds based on the alleged breach of representations and covenants in the purchase/sale agreement. Ecoserv also alleged that we committed fraud in connection with the March 2014 transaction. Following commencement of the trial in December 2017, we reached a settlement agreement with Ecoserv in the first quarter of 2018, under which Ecoserv received $22.0 million in cash, effectively reducing the net sales price of the Environmental Services business by such amount in exchange for dismissal of the pending claims in the lawsuit, and release of any future claims related to the March


2014 transaction. As a result of the settlement, we recognized a charge to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 for $22.0 million ($17.4 million net of tax) to reduce the previously recognized gain from the sale of the Environmental Services business. The reduction in sales price was funded in the first quarter of 2018 with a cash payment of $14.0 million and release of the $8.0 million that had been held in escrow since the March 2014 transaction. In March 2018, the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. Litigation expenses related to this matter are included in corporate office expenses in operating income.
Kenedy, Texas Drilling Fluids Facility Fire – Subsequent Event
In July 2018, a fire occurred at our Kenedy, Texas drilling fluids facility, destroying the distribution warehouse, including inventory and surrounding equipment. In addition, nearby residences and businesses were evacuated as part of the response to the fire. In order to avoid any customer service disruptions, we implemented contingency plans to supply products from alternate facilities in the area and region. During the third quarter of 2018, we received a petition filed on behalf of 23 plaintiffs seeking a total of $1.5 million for alleged bodily injuries and property damage claimed to have been incurred as a result of the fire and the subsequent efforts we undertook to remediate any potential smoke damage. The plaintiffs’ counsel subsequently filed amended petitions that increased the number of plaintiffs to 41 and also seeks punitive damages. While no trial date has been set for the matter at this time, we have been advised by our insurer that these claims are insured under our general liability insurance program. While this event isand related claims are covered by our property, business interruption, and general liability insurance programs, these programs contain self-insured retentions, which remain our financial obligations. Although
During 2018, we incurred fire-related costs of $4.8 million, which included $1.9 million for inventory and property, plant and equipment, $2.1 million in property-related cleanup and other costs, and $0.8 million relating to our self-insured retention for third-party claims. Based on the total costs associated with the event are not currently estimable,provisions of our insurance policies and initial insurance claims filed, we expect to record approximately $1estimated $4.0 million to $2 in expected insurance recoveries and recognized a charge of $0.8 million of charges in other operating (income) loss, net, in the third quarter of 20182018. The insurance receivable balance included in other receivables was $0.6 million as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the claims related to this incident, primarily reflectingthe fire under our self-insured retention obligations under theproperty, business interruption, and general liability insurance programs.programs have not been finalized.

ITEM 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources should be read togetherin conjunction with ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements containedthereto included in this Quarterly Reportreport as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Our second quarter represents the three-month period ended June 30 and theour first half represents the six-month period ended June 30. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The reference to a “Note” herein refers to the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 “Financial Statements.”
Overview
We are a geographically diversified supplier providing products, as well as rentals and services primarily to the oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) industry. We operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systems and Mats and Integrated Services. In recent years,addition to the E&P industry, our Mats and Integrated Services segment has expanded beyond the E&P industry, and now serves a variety of industries, including the electrical transmission & distribution, pipeline, solar, petrochemical, and construction industries.
Our operating results depend, to a large extent, on oil and natural gas drilling activity levels in the markets we serve, and particularly for the Fluids Systems segment, the nature of the drilling operations (including the depth and whether the wells are drilled vertically or horizontally), which governs the revenue potential of each well. Drilling activity levels, in turn, depend on a variety of factors, including oil and natural gas commodity pricing, inventory levels, product demand, and regulatory restrictions. Oil and natural gas prices and activity are cyclical and volatile. Thisvolatile, and this market volatility has a significant impact on our operating results.
While our revenue potential is driven by a number of factors including those described above, rig count data remains the most widely accepted indicator of drilling activity. Average North American rig count data for the second quarter and first half of 20182019 as compared to the same periods of 20172018 is as follows:

The CanadianCanada rig count reflects the normal seasonality for this market, with the highest rig count levels generally observed in the first quarter of each year, prior to Spring break-up. Outside of North America, drilling activity is generally more stable as drilling activity in many countries is based on longer-term economic projections and multi-year drilling programs, which tends to reduce the impact of short-term changes in commodity prices on overall drilling activity. Although drilling activity in certain of our international markets (including Brazil and Australia) has declined in recent years, as a whole, our international activities have remained relatively stable, primarily driven by key contracts with national oil companies. While our international contracts vary in revenue potential and duration, certain international contracts are scheduled to conclude in 2018, including those with Sonatrach, Petrobras, and Kuwait Oil Company, as described below. Our future revenue levels in international markets are largely dependent on our ability to maintain existing market share upon contract renewals which may be subject to a competitive bid process and can be impacted by our customers’ procurement strategies and allocation of contract awards.


Segment Overview
Our Fluids Systems segment, which generated 77%78% of consolidated revenues for the first half of 2018,2019, provides customized fluids solutions to E&P customers globally, operating through four geographic regions: North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific, and Latin America, and Asia Pacific.America. International expansion, including the penetration of international oil companies (“IOCs”) and national oil companies (“NOCs”), is a key element of our Fluids Systems strategy, which in recent years has helped to stabilize revenues as North American oil and natural gas exploration activities have fluctuated significantly. Our significantSignificant international contractscontract awards with recent developments include:
In Kuwait, we provide drilling and completion fluids and related services for land operations under a multi-year contract with Kuwait Oil Company (“KOC”). Work under this, which began in 2014. Following a recent tender process with KOC, we have received two new contract awards to provide drilling and completion fluids, along with related services, covering a five-year term which began in the first quarter of 2019. The initial revenue value of the combined awards is approximately $165 million and expands our presence to include a second base of operations in Northern Kuwait.


The transition to the new contracts resulted in recent fluctuations in revenues, with first half of 2014 and is expected to be completed by2019 revenues reflecting a $6 million decline from the endfirst half of 2018. KOC has recently initiated aHowever, based on the customer plans currently in place, we expect the revenue levels of the new tender process for a multi-year periodawards to provide drilling fluidsincrease and related services for land operations. Tender proposals are expected to be submitted ineventually surpass the third quarter and awards are anticipated to be finalized bylevels achieved on the end of 2018, although there are no assurances that we will receive a newprevious contract.
In Algeria, we provide drilling and completion fluids and related services to Sonatrach under a multi-year contract. Work under Lot 1 and Lot 3 of a three-year contract awarded in 2015 (“2015 Contract”). Work under this contract began was completed in the second quarter of 2015 and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, Sonatrach initiated a new tender (“2018 Tender”), for a three-year term succeeding the 2015 Contract. For the 2018 Tender, Sonatrach adopted a change in its procurement process, limiting the number of Lots that could be awarded to major service providers. As a consequence, we expect anyproviders, which consequently reduced the potential revenue of the 2018 Tender as compared to the 2015 Contract. Based upon the new awardcontract awarded under the 2018 Tender, will result in lower revenues from Sonatrach. Based upon provisional contract award notification, we currently expect that revenue from Sonatrach under the 2018 Tender will be approximately $125 million over the three-year term, which would result in a reduction of approximately $25 million per year as compared to the recentprior activity levels. The award remains subjectConsequently, with the transition to final approval by Sonatrach and the execution of contract documents. The impact of the new award could begin as early as the fourth quartercontract that began in late 2018, first half of 2018, as work transitions2019 revenues reflect a $10 million decline from the 2015 Contract to the final contract awarded under the 2018 Tender.first half of 2018.
In Australia, we provide drilling and completion fluids and related services under a contract with Baker Hughes, a GE Company (“Baker Hughes”), as part of its integrated service offering in support of the Greater Enfield project in offshore Western Australia. Work under this contract began in the first quarter of 2018.2018 and is expected to continue through 2019.
In Brazil, we provideprovided drilling fluids and related services under a multi-year contract with Petrobras for both onshore and offshore locations. Work under this contract began in the first half of 2009 and is scheduled to conclude byconcluded in December 2018. For the end of 2018. In the second quarter of 2018, we submitted our proposal for Petrobras’ recent tender process, which will cover fluids products and services for a three-year term beginning in 2019. Awards are anticipated to be finalized in the secondfirst half of 2018, although thereour Brazilian subsidiary generated revenues of $13 million, substantially all of which related to the Petrobras contract. Despite the completion of the Petrobras contract, we are no assurances thatmaintaining infrastructure in the Brazilian market to support our efforts to penetrate the offshore IOC market.
In addition to our international expansion efforts, we will receive a new contract.are also expanding our presence in North America, capitalizing on our capabilities, infrastructure, and strong market position in the North American land drilling fluids markets to expand our drilling fluids presence within the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, as well as our presence in adjacent product offerings, including completion fluids and stimulation chemicals. To support this effort, we have incurred start-up costs, including costs associated with additional personnel and facility-related expenses, and have made additional capital investments. Revenues from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico increased to $18 million for the first half of 2019 compared to $5 million for the first half of 2018.
Our Mats and Integrated Services segment, which generated 23%22% of consolidated revenues for the first half of 2018,2019, provides composite mat rentals utilized for temporary worksite access, along with related site construction and related site services to customers in various markets including oil and gas exploration and production,E&P, electrical transmission & distribution, pipeline, solar, petrochemical, and construction industries across North America and Europe. We also sell composite mats to customers outside ofaround the U.S. and to domestic customers outside of the E&P market. Following our efforts in recent years to diversify our customer base,world. The Mats and Integrated Services segment revenues from non-E&P markets represented approximately half40% of our segmentthe segment's revenues for the first half of 2018.2019.
In November 2017, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Well Service Group, Inc. and Utility Access Solutions, Inc. (together, “WSG”) for approximately $77 million. Since 2012, WSG has been a strategic logistics and installation service provider for our Mats and Integrated Services segment, offering a variety of complementary services to our composite matting systems, including access road construction, site planning and preparation, environmental protection, fluids and spill storage/containment, erosion control, and site restoration services. The completion of the WSG acquisition expanded our service offering as well as our geographic footprint across the Northeast, Midwest, Rockies, and West Texas regions of the U.S. WSG contributed approximately $35 million of revenues to the Mats and Integrated Services segment for the first half of 2018.

North America revenues increased 6% to $122.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $115.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to market share gains in the offshore Gulf of Mexico market


partially offset by the impact of lower customer drilling activity in Canada, as reflected by the 24% decline in the average rig count. Despite the 5% decline in the United States average rig count, revenues increased in the U.S. land markets primarily related to improvements in customer drilling efficiency, which is leading to an increase in footage drilled per rig.
Internationally, revenues decreased 21% to $50.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $64.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to declines related to the contract transitions described above in Brazil, Algeria, and Kuwait as well as lower drilling activity in Romania, which was largely attributable to lower commodity prices.
Operating income
The Fluids Systems segment generated operating income of $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to operating income of $13.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in operating income includes a $4.3 million decline from international operations, primarily related to the decrease in revenues described above. This decline was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase from North American operations, primarily attributable to an improvement in the United States from the increase in revenues and cost optimization efforts.

This $35.7 million decrease includes a $2.3 million (1%) decrease in revenues in North America, comprised of a $9.6 million decrease in the Mats and Integrated Services segment partially offset by an increase of $7.3 million in the Fluids Systems segment. Revenues from our international operations decreased by $33.3 million (25%), primarily driven by transitions in key contracts in our EMEA and Latin America regions, as described above. Additional information regarding the change in revenues is provided within the operating segment results below.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues decreased 6% to $352.9 million for the first half of 2019, compared to $374.9 million for the first half of 2018. This $22.0 million decrease was primarily driven by the 8% decrease in revenues described above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million to $58.8 million for the first half of 2019, compared to $55.7 million for the first half of 2018. This increase was primarily driven by $4.0 million in charges associated with the February 2019 retirement policy modification, as discussed in Note 4, $2.0 million in professional fees incurred in 2019 related to updating our long-term strategic plan, as well as higher personnel costs, partially offset by lower performance-based incentive compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 13.7% for the first half of 2019 compared to 12.0% for the first half of 2018.
Foreign currency exchange
Foreign currency exchange was a $0.1 million gain for the first half of 2019 compared to a $0.7 million loss for the first half of 2018, and reflects the impact of currency translation on assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies.

The effective tax rate of 59%. The provision for income taxes for the second quarterfirst half of 2019 was negatively impacted by $0.6 million of discrete tax adjustments relative to the amount of pre-tax income, and the


effective tax rate for the first half of 2018 includes awas positively impacted by $0.8 million netin excess tax benefit primarilybenefits related to the vesting of certain stock-based compensation awards during the period. Although the Tax Act reduced the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate effective January 1,


2018, our provision for income taxes in 2018 also includes the estimated expense for any U.S. federal and state income taxes from the new tax on certain foreign-sourced earnings as well as any additional foreign withholding taxes related to future repatriation of current year earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Due to the relative contribution of our domestic and foreign earnings, these taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and the impact of changes to deduction limitations from the Tax Act effectively offset the benefit of the lower U.S. corporate statutory tax rate in our 2018 provision for income taxes. The impact of the Tax Act on our effective tax rate in future periods will depend in large part on the relative contribution of our domestic and foreign earnings, as well as finalization of the provisional accounting for the Tax Act in 2018. The 2017 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by pre-tax losses in certain international jurisdictions, most notably Australia, and non-deductible expenses relative to the amount of pre-tax income.
The Tax Act enacted in December 2017 resulted in broad and complex changes to U.S. income tax law. The Tax Act includes a one-time transition tax in 2017 on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax, reduces the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, generally eliminates U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, creates new tax on certain foreign-sourced earnings, makes other changes to limit certain deductions and changes rules on how certain tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized.
Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in our 2017 financial statements. As we finalize the necessary data, and interpret the Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), or other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts during 2018. We have not made any significant measurement-period adjustments related to these items during the first half of 2018. However, we are continuing to gather additional information to complete our accounting for these items and may make adjustments to these provisional amounts during 2018.

This increase iswas primarily attributable to the 13% increase in North American average rig count along with market share gains in both the North American land markets and the offshore Gulf of Mexico market and increases in U.S. land markets partially offset by the impact of lower customer drilling activity in Canada, as comparedreflected by the 30% decline in the average rig count. Despite the substantially flat United States average rig count, revenues increased in the U.S. land markets primarily related to the prior year.improvements in customer drilling efficiency, which is leading to an increase in footage drilled per rig, as well as market share gains in certain areas.

This decrease was partially offset by a $4.2$0.9 million improvementincrease from North American operations, largely attributable toprimarily reflecting an improvement in the $20.0 million increase in revenues described above. Operating incomeUnited States from international operations increased by $3.3 million, primarily related to the increase in revenues and cost optimization efforts, partially offset by the decrease in Romania and Australia, asCanadian revenues described above.
In July 2018, a fire occurred at our Kenedy, Texas drilling fluids facility, destroying the distribution warehouse, including inventory and surrounding equipment. In addition, nearby residences and businesses were evacuated as partthe Fluids Systems segment operating income for the first half of the response to the fire. In order to avoid any customer service disruptions, we implemented contingency plans to supply products from alternate facilities in the area and region. While this event is covered by our property, business interruption, and general liability insurance programs, these programs contain self-insured retentions, which remain our financial obligations. Although the total costs associated with the event are not currently estimable, we expect to record approximately $1 million to $22019 includes $1.4 million of charges in the third quarter of 2018 related to this incident, primarily reflecting our self-insured retention obligations underseverance costs and the insurance programs.
As discussed above, our contract with Petrobras in Brazil is scheduled to conclude by the end of 2018. Awards under the new tender are anticipated to be finalized in the second half of 2018, although there are no assurances that we will receive a new contract. The profitability of our business in Brazil remains highly dependent on increasing levels of drilling activity by Petrobras or other E&P customers. In the absence of a new contract award from Petrobras or an increase in longer-term drilling activity with other E&P customers, we may incur charges related to cost reduction efforts, or potential asset impairments, which may negatively impact our future operating results.

Revenues from product sales have typically fluctuated based on the timing of mat orders from customers, however, the improvement in 2018 is primarily attributable to our continued efforts to expand our sales into non-E&P markets.customers.
Operating Incomeincome
SegmentThe Mats and Integrated Services segment generated operating income increased by $3.4 million to $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, attributable to increases in revenues as described above.
Operating results for the second quarter of 2018 include approximately $18 million of revenues associated with the WSG acquisition completed in November 2017.  The acquired business is predominately focused on site services, as opposed to product sales and rentals, which has shifted the sales mix toward service revenues in 2018, as compared to 2017. While we expect the incremental service revenues to provide a positive impact to segment operating income, this mix shift, along with depreciation and amortization expense related to the purchase accounting allocation, is expected to reduce the overall segment operating margin in 2018 as compared to 2017. See Note 2 for further discussion of the WSG acquisition.
Corporate Office
Corporate office expenses decreased $0.3 million to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2017. This decrease reflects lower spending related to legal matters and strategic planning efforts partially offset by an increase in personnel costs.

Revenues
Revenues increased 36% to $463.6$22.8 million for the first half of 2018,2019 compared to $341.7 million for the first half of 2017. This $121.8 million increase includes a $100.7 million (44%) increase in revenues in North America, comprised of a $50.2 million increase in our Fluids Systems segment and a $50.4 million increase in the Mats and Integrated Services segment, which includes approximately $35 million contributed from the WSG acquisition. Revenues from our international operations increased by $21.2 million (19%), primarily driven by increased activity in our EMEA region in the Fluids Systems segment. Additional information regarding the change in revenues is provided within the operating segment results below.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues increased 35% to $374.9 million for the first half of 2018, compared to $278.0 million for the first half of 2017. The 35% increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by the 36% increase in revenues described above. Additional information regarding the change in cost of revenues is provided within the operating segment results below.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million (7%) to $55.7 million for the first half of 2018, compared to $52.0 million for the first half of 2017. The increase in expense was primarily driven by an increase in the Mats and Integrated Services segment, including costs attributable to the WSG acquisition, partially offset by lower spending related to legal matters. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 12% for the first half of 2018 from 15% for the first half of 2017.
Foreign currency exchange
Foreign currency exchange was a $0.7 million loss for the first half of 2018 compared to a $0.9 million loss for the first half of 2017, and reflects the impact of currency translation on assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense was $7.0 million for the first half of 2018 compared to $6.7 million for the first half of 2017. Interest expense for the first half of 2018 and 2017 includes $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in noncash amortization of original issue discount and debt issuance costs.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $7.2 million for the first half of 2018, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29%, compared to $3.5 million for the first half of 2017, reflecting an effective tax rate of 84%. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2018 includes a $0.8 million net excess tax benefit primarily related to the vesting of certain stock-based compensation awards during the period. As discussed above, the impact of the Tax Act on our effective tax rate in future periods will depend in large


part on the relative contribution of our domestic and foreign earnings, as well as finalization of the provisional accounting for the Tax Act in 2018. The 2017 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by pre-tax losses in certain international jurisdictions, most notably Australia, and non-deductible expenses relative to the amount of pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.2 million for the first half of 2019 compared to $20.7 million for the first half of 2018 compared to $22.3 million for the first half of 2017. The first half of 2017 included the receipt of a $37.2 million tax refund. Excluding this amount, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $35.6 million in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017 due to an improvement in operating results and decreases in the growth of working capital.2018. During the first half of 2018,2019, net income adjusted for non-cash items provided cash of $49.4$32.7 million, while changes in working capital used $28.7 millionprovided cash of cash.$1.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $37.8$18.2 million for the first half of 2018,2019, including capital expenditures of $24.5 million and the $14 million payment to refund a portion of the net sales price of the Environmental Services business (see Note 9 for further discussion).$23.9 million. Capital expenditures during the first half of 20182019 included $15.3$13.5 million for the Mats and Integrated Services segment, including $11.4 million of investments in the mat rental fleet as well as new products, and $7.4$8.5 million for the Fluids Systems segment.
Net cash provided byused in financing activities was $35.1$19.8 million for the first half of 2018. We borrowed2019, which includes $15.5 million in share purchases under our repurchase program and a net $32.3payment of $5.5 million on our ABL Facility (as defined below) during the first half of 2018 primarily to fund investing activities as described above..
As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had cash on hand of $71.7$49.0 million, substantially all of which resides within our international subsidiaries, including 43% of our total cash balance in Algeria.subsidiaries. As a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as previously described,(“Tax Act”), we began repatriating excess cash from certain of our international subsidiaries in 2018 and we intend to pursue repatriation of availablecontinue repatriating excess cash in certain of ourfrom these international subsidiaries, subject to cash requirements to support the strategic objectives of these international subsidiaries and finalization of our analysis of the impacts of the Tax Act. subsidiaries.
We anticipate that future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. In addition, we expect total 20182019 capital expenditures to be approximately $40$40.0 million to $45.0 million. Availability under our ABL Facility also provides additional liquidity as discussed further below. Total availability under the ABL Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet. We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and remaining availability under our ABL Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, we may continue to purchase our common stock under our existing repurchase program from time to time during 2019.

2021 Convertible Notes. In December 2016, we issued $100.0 million of unsecured convertible senior notes (“2021 Convertible Notes”) that mature on December 1, 2021, unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to the terms of the notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
Holders may convert the notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (regardless of whether consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the notes in effect on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the notes, such as a consolidation, merger, or share exchange.




On or after June 1, 2021 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. As of July 26, 2018,29, 2019, the notes were not convertible.
The notes are convertible into, at our election, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions and during specified periods, as described above. If converted, we currently intend to pay cash for the principal amount of the notes converted. The conversion rate is initially 107.1381 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $9.33 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may not redeem the notes prior to their maturity date.
Asset-Based Loan Facility. In May 2016, we entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement which replaced our previous credit agreement. In October 2017, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in March 2019, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Facility”) which amended. The March 2019 amendment increased the amount available for borrowings, reduced applicable borrowing rates, and restatedextended the prior asset-based revolving credit agreement.term. The ABL Facility provides financing of up to $150.0$200.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit) and can be increased up to a maximum capacity of $225.0$275.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2018,2019, our total borrowing base availability under the ABL Facility was $150.0$165.7 million, of which $113.9$70.8 million was drawn, resulting in remaining availability of $36.1$94.9 million.
The ABL Facility terminates on October 17, 2022;in March 2024; however, the ABL Facility has a springing maturity date that will accelerate the maturity of the ABL Facility to September 1, 2021 if, prior to such date, the 2021 Convertible Notes have not either been repurchased, redeemed, convertedrefinanced, exchanged or otherwise satisfied in full or we have not providedescrowed an amount of funds, that together with the amount that we establish as a reserve against our borrowing capacity, is sufficient funds to repayfor the future settlement of the 2021 Convertible Notes in full onat their maturity date. For this purpose, funds may be provided in cash to an escrow agent or a combination of cash to an escrow agent and the assignment of a portion of availability under the ABL Facility.maturity. The ABL Facility requires compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum unused availability of $25.0 million to utilize borrowings or assignment of availability under the ABL Facility towards funding the repayment of the 2021 Convertible Notes.
Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and limits on such assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by us, the borrowing base calculation shall also includeincludes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The lender may establish such reserves, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits at its discretion which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the ABL Facility. Availability associated with eligible rental mats will also be subject to maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum level of operating income for the Mats and Integrated Services segment.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin based on either, (1) LIBOR subject to a floor of zero or (2) a base rate equal to the highest of: (a) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. orand (c) LIBOR, subject to a floor of zero, plus 100 basis points.points, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 175150 to 275200 basis points for LIBOR borrowings, and 7550 to 175100 basis points for base rate borrowings, based on the ratio of debt to consolidated EBITDAfixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the applicable margin for borrowings under our ABL Facility was 200150 basis points with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 10050 basis points with respect to base rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Facility was 4.1%4.3% at June 30, 2018.2019. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the ABL Facility ranging from 25 to 37.5 basis points, based on the ratiolevel of debt to consolidated EBITDA,outstanding borrowings, as defined in the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation, secured by first liens on all of our U.S. tangible and intangible assets, and a portion of the capital stock of our non-U.S. subsidiaries has also been pledged as collateral. The ABL Facility contains customary operating covenants and certain restrictions including, among other things, the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions, affiliate transactions, stock repurchases and other restricted payments. The ABL Facility also requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio if availability under the ABL Facility falls below $22.5 million. In addition, the ABL Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, a failure to make payments under the facility, acceleration of more than $25.0 million of other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, and certain change of control events.
Other Debt. Our foreign subsidiaries in Italy, India, and Canada maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit which are renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. Advances under these short-term credit arrangements are typically based on a percentage of the subsidiary’s accounts receivable or firm contracts with certain customers. We had $0.5$1.3 million and $1.0$1.1 million respectively, outstanding under these arrangements at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018, respectively.
At June 30, 2018,2019, we had letters of credit issued and outstanding of $5.8$8.9 million that are collateralized by $6.6$9.4 million in restricted cash. Additionally, our foreign operations had $26.1$39.3 million outstanding in letters of credit and other guarantees, primarily issued under a credit arrangement in Italy as well as certain letters of credit that are collateralized by $2.2$2.0 million in restricted cash.





Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgmentsassumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures reported.disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements include the following: allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for self-insured retention under insurance programs, estimated performance and values associated with employee incentive programs, fair values used for impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, the provisional accounting for the Tax Act, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.
For additional discussion of our critical accounting estimates and policies, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Except as set forth below, our2018. Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not materially changed since December 31, 2017.2018.
In May 2014, the FASB amended the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this new guidance primarily affected the timing of revenue recognition for drilling fluid additive products provided to customers in the delivery of an integrated fluid system in our U.S. drilling fluids business. Under previous guidance, we recognized revenue for these products upon shipment of materials and passage of title, with a reserve for estimated product returns. Under the new guidance, we recognize revenue for these products when they are utilized, which generally occurs at the time of consumption by the customer. See Note 1 for additional information.




ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2018,2019, we had total principal amounts outstanding under financing arrangements of $217.5$177.4 million, including $100.0 million of borrowings under our 2021 Convertible Notes which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4%4.0% and $113.9$70.8 million of borrowings under our ABL Facility. Borrowings under our ABL Facility are subject to a variable interest rate as determined by the ABL Facility. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 20182019 for the ABL Facility is 4.1%was 4.3%. Based on the balance of variable rate debt at June 30, 2018,2019, a 100 basis-point increase in short-term interest rates would have increased annual pre-tax interest expense by $1.1$0.7 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our principal foreign operations are conducted in certain areas of EMEA, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Canada. We have foreign currency exchange risks associated with these operations, which are conducted principally in the foreign currency of the jurisdictions in which we operate including European euros, Algerian dinar, Romanian new leu, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Australian dollars, British pounds and Brazilian reais. Historically, we have not used off-balance sheet financial hedging instruments to manage foreign currency risks when we enter into a transaction denominated in a currency other than our local currencies.

ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings
Escrow Claims Related to the Sale of the Environmental Services Business
Newpark Resources, Inc. v. Ecoserv, LLC. On July 13, 2015, we filed a declaratory action in the District Court in Harris County, Texas (80th Judicial District) seeking release of $8.0 million of funds placed in escrow by Ecoserv, LLC (“Ecoserv”) in connection with its purchase of our Environmental Services business. Ecoserv filed a counterclaim asserting that we breached certain representations and covenants contained in the purchase/sale agreement including, among other things, the condition of certain assets. In addition, Ecoserv has alleged that Newpark committed fraud in connection with the March 2014 transaction.
Under the terms of the March 2014 sale of the Environmental Services business to Ecoserv, $8.0 million of the sales price was withheld and placed in an escrow account to satisfy claims for possible breaches of representations and warranties contained in the purchase/sale agreement. In December 2014, we received a letter from Ecoserv asserting that we had breached certain representations and warranties contained in the purchase/sale agreement, including failing to disclose operational problems and service work performed on injection/disposal wells and increased barge rental costs. The letter indicated that Ecoserv expected the damages associated with these claims to exceed the escrow amount. In July 2015, we filed the action against Ecoserv referenced above. Thereafter, Ecoserv filed a counterclaim seeking recovery in excess of the escrow funds based on the alleged breach of representations and covenants in the purchase/sale agreement. Ecoserv also alleged that we committed fraud in connection with the March 2014 transaction. Following commencement of the trial in December 2017, we reached a settlement agreement with Ecoserv in the first quarter of 2018, under which Ecoserv received $22.0 million in cash, effectively reducing the net sales price of the Environmental Services business by such amount in exchange for dismissal of the pending claims in the lawsuit, and release of any future claims related to the March 2014 transaction. As a result of the settlement, we recognized a charge to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 for $22.0 million ($17.4 million net of tax) to reduce the previously recognized gain from the sale of the Environmental Services business. The reduction in sales price was funded in the first quarter of 2018 with a cash payment of $14.0 million and release of the $8.0 million that had been held in escrow since the March 2014 transaction. In March 2018, the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice. Litigation expenses related to this matter are included in corporate office expenses in operating income.None.
