TETRA Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

We are a geographically diversified oil and gas services company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, water management, frac flowback, production well testing and offshore rig cooling services, and compression services and equipment, and selected offshore services including well plugging and abandonment, decommissioning, and diving. We also have a limited domestic oil and gas production business.equipment. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981 and1981. We are composed of five reporting segments organized into fourthree divisions – Completion Fluids Production Testing, Compression,& Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Offshore.Compression. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our interests in oil and gas properties are proportionately consolidated. All intercompany accountsbalances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.2019.

We consolidate the financial statements of CSI Compressco LP and its subsidiaries ("CCLP") as part of our Compression Division, as we determined that CCLP is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. We control the financial interests of CCLP and have the ability to direct the activities of CCLP that most significantly impact its economic performance through our ownership of its general partner. The share of CCLP net assets and earnings that is not owned by us is presented as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. Our cash flows from our investment in CCLP are limited to the quarterly distributions we receive on our CCLP common units and general partner interest (including incentive distribution rights) and the amounts collected for services we perform on behalf of CCLP, as TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure are separate, and do not include cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in connectionconjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, whichwe filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.4, 2019.

In April 2017, CCLP announced a reduction to the level of cash distributions to its common unitholders, including us. We have reviewed our financial forecasts as of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which consider the impact of the current distribution levels from CCLP. Based on our financial forecasts, which reflect certain operating and other business assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of November 9, 2017, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to fund our operations and debt obligations and maintain compliance with our debt covenants through November 9, 2018.Significant Accounting Policies

In May 2017, CCLP entered into an amendmentWe have added policies for the recording of leases in conjunction with the adoption of the agreement governing its bank revolving credit facility (as amended,new lease standard discussed in our "Leases" and "New Accounting Pronouncements" sections below. Other than the "CCLP Credit Agreement") that, among other things, favorably amended certain financial covenants. (See Note B - Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings.) CCLP has reviewed its financial forecasts asadditional lease policies described herein, there have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which consider the impact of the amendment of the CCLP Credit Agreement, and the current level of distributions to its common unitholders. Based on these reviews and the current market conditions as of November 9, 2017, CCLP believes that it will have adequate liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to fund its operations and debt obligations and maintain compliance with its debt covenants through November 9, 2018.policies.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and


liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and impairments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.

ReclassificationsLeases

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassifiedAs a lessee, unless the lease meets the criteria of short-term and is excluded per our policy election described below, we initially recognize a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the commencement date.

The right-of-use asset represents our right to conformuse an underlying asset and the lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments to the current period’s presentation. The impact of such reclassifications was not significant tolessor over the prior period’s overall presentation. During the current quarterly period, recycled brines of $5.6 million repurchased from customers pursuant to obligations under customer sales arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were recorded as a reduction to product sales revenues and costs of product sales.lease term.    

Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid cash investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is classified as a current asset when it is expected to be repaid or settledLong-term operating leases are included in the next twelve month period. Restricted cash reported onoperating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and other, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016 consisted primarily of $6.6 million of escrowed cash associated with2019. Long-term finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, accrued liabilities and other, and other liabilities in our July 2011 purchase of a heavy lift derrick barge, which was released to the sellers during the third quarter of 2017 and therefore no longer reflected on ourconsolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Where we are a lessee in a contract that includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, we include the extension period or exclude the period covered by the termination option in our lease term, if it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the option.

InventoriesAs an accounting policy election, we do not include short-term leases on our balance sheet. Short-term leases include leases with a term of 12 months or less, inclusive of renewal options we are reasonably certain to exercise. The lease payments for short-term leases are included as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of revenues or general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset. We recognize lease costs for variable lease payments not included in the determination of a lease liability in the period in which an obligation is incurred.

As allowed by U.S. GAAP, we do not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component for our compression services contracts and instead account for those components as a single component based on the accounting treatment of the predominant component. In our evaluation of whether Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" or ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" is applicable to the combined component based on the predominant component, we determined the services nonlease component is predominant, resulting in the ongoing recognition of our compression services contracts following ASC 606.

Our operating and finance leases are recognized at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the implicit discount rate is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments. Consistent with other long-lived assets or asset groups that are held and used, we test for impairment of our right-of-use assets when impairment indicators are present.

Foreign currency exchange (gains) and losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $1.2 millionduring the lowerthree months ended March 31, 2019 and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" to increase comparability and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet related to the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In addition, through improved disclosure requirements, ASC 842 will enable users of cost or market value. Exceptfinancial statements to further understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, specifically, the reporting of our operating leases. The impact in the reporting of our finance leases was insignificant.

We chose to transition using a modified retrospective approach which allows for workthe recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in progress inventory discussed below, costthe period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented. Comparative information is determined usingreported under the weighted average method. accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. In addition, upon transition, we elected the package of practical expedients, which allows us to continue to apply historical lease classifications to existing contracts. Upon adoption, we recognized $60.6 million in operating right-of-use assets, $12.0 million in accrued liabilities and other, and $50.7 million in operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we also recognized a $2.8 million cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings, primarily as a result of a deferred gain from a previous sale and

leaseback transaction on our corporate headquarters facility that was accounted for as an operating lease. Refer to Note K - “Leases” for further information on our leases.    

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" that gives entities the option to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This is effective for us on January 1, 2019, however, as we do not have associated tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income, there was no impact.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” to align the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance currently applied to employees, with certain exceptions. We adopted this ASU during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 has an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a prospective adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE B – INVENTORIES

Components of inventories as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018 are as follows:

Finished goods inventories include newly manufactured clear brine fluids as well as used brines that are repurchased from certain customers for recycling. Recycled brines are recorded at cost, using the weighted average method. Work in progress inventory consists primarily of new compressor packages located in the CCLP fabrication facility in Midland, Texas. The cost of work in process is determined using the specific identification method. We write down the value of inventory by an amount equal to the difference between its cost and its estimated market value.



GoodwillNOTE C – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

During the first three months of 2016, low oil and natural gas commodity prices resulted in decreased demand for many of the products and services of each of our reporting units. However, based on updated assumptions as of March 31, 2016, we determined that the fair value of our Fluids Division was significantly in excess of its carrying value, which includes $6.6 million of goodwill. Our Offshore Services and Maritech Divisions had no remaining goodwill as of March 31, 2016. With regard to our Compression Division, demand for low-horsepower wellhead compression services and for sales of compressor equipment decreased significantly and as of March 31, 2016, was expected to continue to be decreased for the foreseeable future. In addition, the price per common unit of CCLP as of March 31, 2016 decreased compared to December 31, 2015. Accordingly, the fair value, including the market capitalization for CCLP, for the Compression reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2016, despite impairments recorded as of December 31, 2015. For our Production Testing Division, demand for production testing services decreased in each of the market areas in which we operate, resulting in decreased estimated future cash flows. As a result, the fair value of the Production Testing reporting unit was also less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2016, despite impairments recorded as of December 31, 2015. After making the hypothetical purchase price adjustments as part of the second step of the goodwill impairment test, there was $0.0 million residual purchase price to be allocated to the goodwill of both the Compression and Production Testing reporting units. Based on this analysis, we concluded that full impairments of the $92.4 million of recorded goodwill for Compression and $13.9 million of recorded goodwill for Production Testing were required. Accordingly, during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, $106.2 million was charged to Goodwill Impairment expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2017 we determined that there was no additional impairment of goodwill, as it was not "more likely than not" that the fair value of our Fluids Division was less than its carrying value.

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

During the first quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of continuing decreased demand due to then-current market conditions, our Compression, Production Testing, and Fluids segments recorded $7.9 million, $2.8 million, and $0.3 million respectively, of impairments associated with certain identified intangible assets. These amounts were charged to Impairments of Long-Lived Assets expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Insurance Recoveries

During the fourth quarter of 2016, our Compression Division recorded $2.4 million of long-lived asset impairments associated with damages sustained on certain compression equipment packages in its fleet. During the third quarter of 2017, our insurer processed and paid $3.0 million of claim proceeds associated with this equipment damage claim. This amount was credited to earnings, with $2.4 million classified as insurance recoveries for the damaged equipment, and $0.6 million classified as other income.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the average diluted shares outstanding excludes the impact of all outstanding equity awards and warrants, as the inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses recorded during the periods. In addition, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the calculation of diluted


earnings per common share excludes the impact of the CCLP Preferred Units (as defined in Note F), as the inclusion of the impact from conversion of the CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE D – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. As a result, we have accounted for our Offshore Division, consisting of our Offshore Services and Rentals RevenuesMaritech segments, as discontinued operations and Costshave revised prior period financial statements to exclude these businesses from continuing operations. A summary of financial information related to our discontinued operations is as follows:

We believe our capital structure, excluding CCLP, ("TETRA") and CCLP's capital structure should be considered separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt.

Consolidated long-term debt as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, consists of the following:

As of March 31, 2019, TETRA had a $30.7 million outstanding balance and$9.0 million in letters of creditagainst its asset-based credit agreement ("ABL Credit Agreement"). As of March 31, 2019, subject to compliance

with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings, TETRA had an availability of $27.3 million under this agreement. There was no balance outstanding under the CCLP asset-based credit agreement ("CCLP Credit Agreement") as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, and subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreements that may limit borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement, CCLP had availability of $18.4 million.

TETRA and CCLP credit and senior note agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability to pay dividends or other restricted payments. TETRA and CCLP are both in compliance with all covenants of their respective credit and senior note agreements as of March 31, 2019.
NOTE F – CCLP SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED UNITS

During 2016, CCLP issued an aggregate of 6,999,126 of CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in CCLP (the “CCLP Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”). We purchased 874,891 of the CCLP Preferred Units at the aggregate Issue Price of $10.0 million.

Unless otherwise redeemed for cash, a ratable portion of our servicesthe CCLP Preferred Units has been, and rentals revenues consistwill continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of incomeeach month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 and will end in August 2019 (each, a “Conversion Date”). Based on the number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of March 31, 2019, the maximum aggregate number of CCLP common units that could be required to be issued pursuant to operating lease arrangementsthe conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units is approximately 10.2 million CCLP common units; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and common units, to the holders of the CCLP Preferred Units instead of issuing common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement. Beginning with the January 2019 Conversion Date, CCLP has elected to redeem the remaining CCLP Preferred Units for compressor packages and other assets. Forcash, resulting in 783,046 CCLP Preferred Units being redeemed during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for $8.3 million, which includes approximately $0.4 million of redemption premium that was paid and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the following operating lease revenues and associated costs were included in services and rentals revenues and cost of services and rentals, respectively,charged to other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign currency exchange gains and (losses) are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $(0.3) million and $(1.5) million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and $(0.2) million and $0.5 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the first nine months of 2016 and 2017 is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 of negative 147.3% and negative 18.7% were primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than notCCLP common units that some portion orwould be issued if all of the deferred tax assets will notoutstanding CCLP Preferred Units were converted on March 31, 2019 on the same basis as the monthly conversions would be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are availableapproximately 7.4 million CCLP common units, with an aggregate market value of $21.0 million. If converted to offset future income tax liabilitiesCCLP common units, a $1 decrease in the U.S. as well asConversion Price would result in certain foreign jurisdictions. Further, the effective tax rate during 2016 was negatively impacted by the nondeductible portionissuance of our goodwill impairments during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.2.8 million additional CCLP common units pursuant to these conversion provisions.
NOTE G – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.
Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include theFinancial Instruments


reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are utilized on a recurring basis in the determination of the carrying value of the liability for the warrants to purchase 11.2 million shares of our common stock (the "Warrants") and CCLP Preferred Units. We also utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the accounting for our foreign currency derivative contracts. For these fair value measurements, we utilize the quoted value as determined by our counterparty financial institution (a level 2 fair value measurement). Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis, such as in the allocation of purchase consideration for acquisition transactions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill (a level 3 fair value measurement), the initial recording of our decommissioning and other asset retirement obligations, and for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill (a level 3 fair value measurement). The fair value of certain of our financial instruments, which include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt pursuant to our bank credit agreements, approximate their carrying amounts. The aggregate fair values of our long-term 11% Senior Note at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were approximately $128.5 million and $133.9 million, respectively, based on current interest rates on those dates, which were different from the stated interest rate on the 11% Senior Note. Those fair values compare to face amounts of the 11% Senior Note of $125.0 million both at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair values of the publicly traded CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes (as herein defined) at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were approximately $273.7 million and $278.2 million, respectively, (a level 2 fair value measurement) based on current interest rates on those dates, which were different from the stated interest rate on the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes. Those fair values compare to a face amount of $295.9 million both at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. See Note C - Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings, for further discussion. We calculated the fair values of our 11% Senior Note as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 internally, using current market conditions and average cost of debt (a level 2 fair value measurement).Units

The CCLP Preferred Units are valued using a lattice modeling technique that, among a number of lattice structures, includes significant unobservable items (a Level 3 fair value measurement). These unobservable items include (i) the volatility of the trading price of CCLP's common units compared to a volatility analysis of equity prices of CCLP's comparable peer companies, (ii) a yield analysis that utilizes market information related to the debt yields of comparable peer companies, and (iii) a future conversion price analysis. TheDuring the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the changes in the fair valuationvalue of the CCLP Preferred Units liability is increased by, among other factors, projected increasesresulted in CCLP's common unit price$1.2 million and by increases$1.4 million being charged to earnings, respectively, in the volatility and decreases in the debt yieldsconsolidated statements of CCLP's comparable peer companies. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of CCLP Preferred Units will increase (decrease) the associated liability and result in future adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains).operations.


Warrants

The Warrants are valued either by using their traded market prices (a level 1 fair value measurement) or, for periods when market prices are not available, by using thea Black Scholes option valuation model that includes estimates of theimplied volatility of the Warrants implied by their trading pricesprice (a levelLevel 3 fair value measurement). As of DecemberDuring the three month periods ended March 31, 20162019 and September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the fair valuation methodology utilized for the Warrants was a level 3 fair value measurement, as there were no available traded market prices to value the Warrants. The fair valuation of the Warrants liability is increased by, among other factors, increases in our common stock price, and by increases in the volatility of our common stock price. Increases (or decreases)changes in the fair value of the Warrants will increase (decrease) the associated liability and resultresulted in future adjustments$0.4 million being charged to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair value of the Warrants liability decreased by $11.6and $2.0 million which wasbeing credited to earnings, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the third quarter of 2017, we issued a stand-alone, cash-settled stock appreciation rights award to an executive officer. This award is valued by using the Black Scholes option valuation model and such fair value is recognized based on the portion of the requisite service period satisfied as of each valuation date. The fair valuation of the stock appreciation rights liability is increased by, among other factors, increases in our common stock price, and by increases in the volatility of our common stock price. This stock appreciation rights award is reflected as an accrued liability in our consolidated balance sheet. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the stock appreciation rights award will increase (decrease) the associated liability and result in future adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains).Contingent Consideration

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue 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. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. During 2016, in preparation for the adoption of ASU 2014-09, we began a review of the various types of customer contract arrangements for each of our businesses. These reviews include 1) accumulating all customer contractual arrangements; 2) identifying individual performance obligations pursuant to each arrangement; 3) quantifying consideration under each arrangement; 4) allocating consideration among the identified performance obligations; and 5) determining the timing of revenue recognition pursuant to each arrangement. We have substantially completed these contract reviews and are implementing revised accounting system processes in order to capture information required to be disclosed under ASU 2014-09. While the timing and amount of revenue recognized for a large portion of our customer contractual arrangements under ASU 2014-09 will not change, we have determined that the presentation in the financial statements may be impacted. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a significant impact on disclosures. We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective adoption method.



In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" to clarify the guidance on principal versus agent considerations. This ASU does not change the effective date or adoption method under ASU 2014-09 which is noted above.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" to clarify the guidance on identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. This ASU does not change the effective date or adoption method under ASU 2014-09, which is noted above.

Additionally, in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients." This ASU addresses and amends several aspects of ASU 2014-09, but does not change the core principle of the guidance. This ASU does not change the effective date or adoption method under ASU 2014-09 which is noted above.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (Topic 330), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for inventory measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory methods. The ASU requires entities to compare the cost of inventory to one measure - net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, and is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. As a result of the adoption of this standard during the first quarter of 2017, there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842) to increase comparability and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about the leasing arrangements and cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, under a modified retrospective adoption with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" as part of a simplification initiative. The update addresses and simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied using either modified retrospective, retrospective, or prospective transition method based on which amendment is being applied. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, we elected to change our accounting policy to account for forfeitures as they occur, using a modified retrospective method and determined that a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings would be immaterial at transition during the first quarter of 2017. Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits have been adopted using a prospective transition method and there were no unrealized excess tax benefits prior to adoption that would require a modified retrospective transition method. Prospectively, excess tax benefits for share-based payments, if any, are now included in cash flows from operating activities rather than financing activities. The ASU also requires entities to classify as financing activities on the statement of cash flows, the cash paid to tax authorities when shares are withheld to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation, with the application of this requirement to be applied retrospectively. As a result of share-based compensation that vested during the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, the impact to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of tax remittances on equity based compensation as a financing activity.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13, which has an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, also applies to employee benefit plan accounting. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and employee benefit plan accounting.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" to reduce diversity in practice in classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a retrospective transition adoption. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a modified retrospective transition adoption. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a retrospective transition adoption. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a prospective adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, "Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception" to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock. Entities that present EPS under ASC 260 will recognize the effect of a down round feature in a freestanding equity-classified financial instrument only when it is triggered. The effect of triggering such a feature will be recognized as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" to change how companies account for and disclose hedges. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.



NOTE B – LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS
We believe TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure should be considered separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt.

Consolidated long-term debt as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consists of the following:

As of September 30, 2017, TETRA (excluding CCLP) had no outstanding balance and$4.4 million in letters of creditagainst its Credit Agreement, leaving a net availability of $195.6 million. Because there was no outstanding balance on this Credit Agreement, associated deferred financing costs of $1.7 million as of September 30, 2017, were classified as other long-term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017, CCLP had an outstanding balance of $223.4 million and had $1.9 million letters of credit outstanding against the CCLP Credit Agreement, leaving a net availability of $89.7 million, subject to a borrowing base limitation. Availability under each of the TETRA Credit Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with the covenants and other provisions in the respective credit agreements that may limit borrowings thereunder. See below for further discussion of the CCLP Credit Agreement.

As described below, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective credit agreements and senior note agreements as of September 30, 2017.
Our Long-Term Debt

Our Credit Agreement.



At September 30, 2017, our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.95 to 1 (compared to a 5.00 to 1 maximum allowed under the Credit Agreement) and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.77 to 1 (compared to a 1.25 to 1 minimum required under the Credit Agreement).

CCLP Long-Term Debt

At September 30, 2017, CCLP's consolidated total leverage ratio was 6.33 to 1 (compared to 6.75 to 1 maximum allowed under the CCLP Credit Agreement), its consolidated secured leverage ratio was 2.75 to 1 (compared to 3.25 to 1 maximum allowed under the CCLP Credit Agreement) and its consolidated interest coverage ratio was 2.63 to 1 (compared to a 2.25 to 1 minimum required under the CCLP Credit Agreement).

On May 5, 2017, CCLP entered into an amendment of the CCLP Credit Agreement (the "CCLP Fifth Amendment") that, among other things, modified certain financial covenants in the CCLP Credit Agreement, providing that (i) the consolidated total leverage ratio may not exceed (a) 5.95 to 1 as of March 31, 2017; (b) 6.75 to 1 as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017; (c) 6.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018; (d) 6.25 to 1 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018; (e) 6.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2018; and (f) 5.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2019 and thereafter; and (ii) the consolidated secured leverage ratio may not exceed 3.25 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The consolidated interest coverage ratio was not amended by the CCLP Fifth Amendment. In addition, the CCLP Fifth Amendment (i) increased the applicable margin by 0.25% in the event the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 6.00 to 1, resulting in a range for the applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.50% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and between 1.00% and 2.50% per annum for base-rate loans, depending on the consolidated total leverage ratio, and (ii) modified the appraisal delivery requirement from an annual requirement to a semi-annual requirement. In connection with the CCLP Fifth Amendment, the level of CCLP's cash distributions payable on its common units for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 will be limited to the current reduced level. The CCLP Fifth Amendment also included additional revisions that provide flexibility to CCLP for the issuance of preferred securities.

The consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated secured leverage ratio, as both are calculated under the CCLP Credit Agreement, exclude the long-term liability for the CCLP Preferred Units, among other items, in the determination of total indebtedness.

NOTE C – CCLP SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED UNITS

On August 8, 2016 and September 20, 2016, CCLP entered into Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreements (the “CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements”) with certain purchasers to issue and sell in private placements (the "Initial Private Placement" and "Subsequent Private Placement," respectively) an aggregate of 6,999,126 of CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in CCLP (the “CCLP Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”), resulting in total 2016 net proceeds to CCLP, after deducting certain offering expenses, of $77.3 million. We purchased 874,891 of the CCLP Preferred Units in the Initial Private Placement at the aggregate Issue Price of $10.0 million.

We and the other holders of CCLP Preferred Units (each, a “CCLP Preferred Unitholder”) will receive quarterly distributions, which are paid in kind in additional CCLP Preferred Units, equal to an annual rate of 11.00% of the Issue Price ($1.2573 per unit annualized), subject to certain adjustments. The rights of the CCLP Preferred Units include certain anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for economic dilution resulting from the issuance of CCLP common units in the future below a set price.

A ratable portion of the CCLP Preferred Units have been, and will continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of each month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 (each, a “Conversion Date”), subject to certain provisions of the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement that may delay or accelerate all or a portion of such monthly conversions. On each Conversion Date, a portion of the CCLP Preferred Units will convert into CCLP common units representing limited partner interests in CCLP in an amount equal to, with respect to each CCLP Preferred Unitholder, the number of CCLP Preferred Units held by such CCLP Preferred Unitholder divided by the number of Conversion Dates remaining, subject to adjustment described in the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement, with the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined by the trading prices of the common units over the prior month, among other factors, and as otherwise impacted by the existence of certain conditions related to the CCLP common units. On June, 7, 2017, as


permitted under the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement, CCLP elected to defer the monthly conversion of CCLP Preferred Units for each of the Conversion Dates during the three month period beginning July 8, 2017. As a result, no CCLP Preferred Units were converted into CCLP common units during the three month period ended September 30, 2017, and future monthly conversions will be increased beginning in October 2017. Based on the number of Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2017, the maximum aggregate number of CCLP common units that could be required to be issued pursuant to the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units is approximately 38.1 million CCLP common units; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and common units, to the CCLP Preferred Unitholders instead of issuing common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement. The total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2017 was 6,673,202, of which we held 838,078.

Because the CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units, net of the units we purchased, is classified as long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity." The fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units ascontingent consideration associated with the February 2018 acquisition of September 30, 2017 was $68.3 million. ChangesSwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater") is based on a probability simulation utilizing forecasted revenues and EBITDA of the water management business of SwiftWater and all of our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin (a Level 3 fair value during each quarterly period, includingmeasurement). At March 31, 2019, the $4.3 million net decrease inestimated fair value for the liability associated with the contingent purchase price consideration was $10.6 million, resulting in $0.4 million being credited to other (income) expense, net, during the nine month periodthree months ended September 30, 2017, are charged or credited to earnings in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Based on the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units, and using the Conversion Price calculated as of September 30, 2017, the theoretical number of CCLP common units that would be issued if all of the outstanding CCLP Preferred Units were converted on September 30, 2017 on the same basis as the monthly conversions would be approximately 17.3 million CCLP common units, with an aggregate market value of $90.2 million. A $1 decrease in the Conversion Price would result in the issuance of 4.9 million additional CCLP common units pursuant to these conversion provisions.

NOTE D – DECOMMISSIONING AND OTHER ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The large majority of our asset retirement obligations consists of the remaining future well abandonment and decommissioning costs for offshore oil and gas properties and platforms owned by our Maritech subsidiary, including the decommissioning and debris removal costs associated with its remaining offshore platforms previously destroyed by hurricanes. The amount of decommissioning liabilities recorded by Maritech is reduced by amounts allocable to joint interest owners in these properties and platforms.

We also operate facilities in various U.S. and foreign locations that are used in the manufacture, storage, and sale of our products, inventories, and equipment. These facilities are a combination of owned and leased assets. The values of our asset retirement obligations for these non-Maritech properties were $10.0 million and $9.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, respectively. We are required to take certain actions in connection with the retirement of these assets. We have reviewed our obligations in this regard in detail and estimated the cost of these actions. The original estimates are the fair values that have been recorded for retiring these long-lived assets. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized2019. In addition, as part of the carrying amountpurchase of these long-lived assets. The costs for non-oilJRGO Energy Services LLC ("JRGO") during December 2018, the sellers have the right to receive contingent consideration of up to $1.5 million to be paid during 2019, based on JRGO's performance during the fourth quarter of 2018. Approximately $11.5 million of the $12.1 million combined contingent consideration liability is based on actual 2018 performance and gas assets are depreciatedwas paid in April 2019, with the remaining being a fair value measurement based on a straight-line basis over the lifeforecast of the assets.

The changes in the values of our asset retirement obligations during the threeSwiftWater 2019 revenues and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, are as follows:
 Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

We review the adequacy of our asset retirement obligation liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows underlying the liabilities have changed. For our Maritech segment, the timing and amounts of these cash flows are subject to changes in the oil and gas industry environment and other factors and may result in additional liabilities and charges to earnings to be recorded.

Asset retirement obligations are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 410, "Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations," whereby the estimated fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and in which a reasonable estimate can be made. Such estimates are based on relevant assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The cost estimates for our Maritech asset retirement obligations are considered reasonable estimates consistent with current market conditions, and we believe reflect the amount of work legally obligated to be performed in accordance with Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ("BSEE") standards, as revised from time to time.

NOTE E – MARKET RISKS AND DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
We are exposed to financial and market risks that affect our businesses. We have concentrations of credit risk as a result of trade receivables owed to us by companies in the energy industry. We have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies as well as to investments in certain of our international operations. As a result of our variable rate bank credit facilities,including the variable rate credit facility of CCLP, we face market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates. Our financial risk management activities may at times involve, among other measures, the use of derivative financial instruments, such as swap and collar agreements, to hedge the impact of market price risk exposures.EBITDA.

Derivative Contracts

Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts. We and CCLP each enter into 30-dayshort term foreign currency forward derivative contracts with third parties as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we and CCLP had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding relating to portions of our foreign operations:

Under this program, we and CCLP may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.


The fair values of foreign currency derivative instruments are based on quoted market values as reported to us by our counterparty (a levelLevel 2 fair value measurement). The fair values of our and CCLP's foreign currency derivative instruments as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, are as follows:

None of the foreign currency derivative contracts contain credit risk related contingent features that would require us to post assets or collateral for contracts that are classified as liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we recognized $0.1$0.6 millionand $1.2 million$28,000 of net gains (losses), respectively, reflected in other (income) expense, net, associated with our foreign currency derivative program. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $(0.4) million and $(1.6) million, of net gains (losses), respectively, reflected in other income (expense), net associated with this program.

NOTE GH – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.


Contingencies of Discontinued Operations

On March 18, 2011, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Union County, Arkansas, asserting claims of professional negligence, breach of contract and other claims against the engineering firm we hired for engineering design, equipment, procurement, advisory, testing and startup services for our El Dorado, Arkansas chemical production facility. The engineering firm disputed our claims and promptly filed a motion to compel the matter to arbitration. After a lengthy procedural dispute in Arkansas state court, arbitration proceedings were initiated on November 15, 2013. Ultimately, on December 16, 2016, the arbitration panel ruled in our favor, declared us as the prevailing party, and awarded us a total net amount of $12.8 million. We received full payment of the $12.8 million final award on January 5, 2017, and this amount was credited to earnings in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

From May 2009 to December 2014, EPIC Diving & Marine Services, LLC (“EPIC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was the charterer of a dive support vessel from a service provider. At the time of redelivery of the vessel there was a dispute between EPIC and the service provider that was submitted to arbitration in London pursuant to the dispute resolution provision of the charter agreement. Just prior to the scheduled arbitration proceedings in June 2017, EPIC reached a favorable settlement in relation to certain of the service provider's claims against EPIC. EPIC’s dispute with the service provider that a fee was due at the time of redelivery of the vessel proceeded to arbitration on June 20, 2017. On July 6, 2017, the arbitration panel issued its ruling against EPIC, awarding the service provider $3.0 million, plus interest and fees. A net exposure of $2.8 million was accrued and charged to earnings during 2017.

Other Contingencies

During 2011, in connection with the sale of a significant majority of Maritech’sMaritech's oil and gas producing properties, the buyers of the properties assumed the associated decommissioning liabilities pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. For those oil and gas properties Maritech previously operated, the buyers of the properties assumed the financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, including abandonment and decommissioning, and generally became the successor operator. Some buyers of these Maritech properties subsequently sold certain of these properties to other buyers who also assumed these financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, and these buyers also typically became the successor operator of the properties. To the extent that a buyer of these properties fails to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required, thea previous owner, including Maritech, may be required to perform the abandonment and decommissioning obligation. A significant portionAs the former parent company of Maritech, we also may be responsible for performing these abandonment and decommissioning obligations. In March 2018, we closed the decommissioning liabilitiesMaritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that were assumedprovided for the purchase by the buyersOrinoco of the Maritech propertiesProperties. Also in 2011 remains unperformedMarch 2018, we finalized the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of the Maritech Equity Interests. Pursuant to a bonding agreement as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco is required to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and we believeare seeking to enforce the amounts of these remaining liabilities are significant. We monitor the financial conditionterms of the buyers of these properties from Maritech, and if current oil and natural gas pricing levels continue, we expect that one or more of these buyers may be unable to perform the decommissioning work required on the properties acquired from Maritech.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, continued low oil and natural gas prices have resulted in reduced revenues and cash flows for all oil and gas producing companies, including those companies that bought Maritech properties in the past. Certain of these oil and gas producing companies that bought Maritech properties are currently experiencing severe financial difficulties. With regard to certain of these properties, Maritech has security in the form ofBonding Agreement. The non-revocable performance bonds or cash escrows intended to secure the buyers' obligations to perform the decommissioning work. Maritech and its legal counsel continue to monitor the status of these companies. As of September 30, 2017, we do not consider the likelihood of Maritech becoming liable for decommissioning liabilities on sold properties to be probable.

Maritech has encountered situations where previously plugged and abandoned wells on its properties have later exhibited a buildup of pressure, which is evidenced by gas bubbles coming from the plugged well head. We refer to this situation as “wells under pressure” and this can either be discovered when performing additional workdelivered at the property or by notification from a third party. Wells under pressure require Maritech to return to the site to perform additional plug and abandonment procedures that were not originally anticipated and includedclosing remain in the estimate of the asset retirement obligation for such property. Remediation work at previously abandoned well sites is particularly costly, due to the lack of a platform from which to base these activities. Maritech is the last operator of record for its plugged wells, and bears the risk of additional future work required aseffect. As a result of wells becoming pressurized inthese transactions, we have effectively exited the future.


businesses of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments and Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's remaining abandonment and decommissioning obligations.

NOTE HI – INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
 
We manage our operations through fivethree reporting segments organized into four divisions:Divisions: Completion Fluids Production Testing, Compression, and Offshore.
Our Fluids Division manufactures and markets clear brine fluids, additives, and associated products and services to the oil and gas industry for use in well drilling, completion, and workover operations in the United States and in certain countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The division also markets liquid and dry calcium chloride products manufactured at its production facilities or purchased from third-party suppliers to a variety of markets outside the energy industry.The Fluids Division also provides domestic onshore oil and gas operators with comprehensive water management services.
Our Production Testing Division provides frac flowback, production well testing, offshore rig cooling, and other associated services in many of the major oil and gas producing regions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as well as in basins in certain regions in South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.
The Compression Division is a provider of compression services and equipment for natural gas and oil production, gathering, transportation, processing, and storage. The Compression Division's equipment sales business includes the fabrication and sale of standard compressor packages, custom-designed compressor packages, and oilfield pump systems designed and fabricated at the division's facilities. The Compression Division's aftermarket services business provides compressor package reconfiguration and maintenance services as well as providing compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. The Compression Division provides its services and equipment to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production, midstream, transmission, and storage companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States as well as in a number of foreign countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Argentina.
Our Offshore Division consists of two operating segments: Offshore& Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Maritech. The Offshore Services segment provides (1) downhole and subsea services such as well plugging and abandonment and workover services, (2) decommissioning and certain construction services utilizing heavy lift barges and various cutting technologies with regard to offshore oil and gas production platforms and pipelines, and (3) conventional and saturation diving services.Compression.
The Maritech segment is a limited oil and gas production operation. During 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, Maritech sold substantially all of its oil and gas producing property interests. Maritech’s operations consist primarily of the ongoing abandonment and decommissioning associated with its remaining offshore wells and production platforms. Maritech intends to acquire a portion of these services from the Offshore Services segment.
We generally evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to our segments based on profit or loss from their operations before income taxes and nonrecurring charges, return on investment, and other criteria. Transfers between segments and geographic areas are priced at the estimated fair value of the products or services as negotiated between the operating units. “Corporate overhead” includes corporate general and administrative expenses, corporate depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense, and other income and expense.

 Summarized financial information concerning the business segments is as follows:

NOTE J – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Performance Obligations.Revenue is generally recognized when we transfer control of our products or services to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers.

Product Sales. Product sales revenues are generally recognized when we ship products from our facility to our customer. The product sales for our Completion Fluid & Products Division consist primarily of clear brine fluids ("CBFs"), additives, and associated manufactured products. Product sales for our Water & Flowback Services Division are typically attributed to specific performance obligations within certain production testing service arrangements. Parts and equipment sales comprise the product sales for the Compression Division.

Services. Service revenues represent revenue recognized over time, as our customer arrangements typically provide agreed upon day-rates (monthly service rates for compression services) and we recognize service revenue based upon the number of days services have been performed. Service revenue recognized over time is associated with a majority of our Water & Flowback Services Division arrangements, compression service and aftermarket service contracts within our Compression Division, and a small portion of Completion Fluids & Products Division revenue that is associated with completion fluid service arrangements. With the exception of the initial terms of the compression services contracts for medium- and high-horsepower compressor packages of our Compression Division, our customer contracts are generally for terms of one year or less. The majority of the service arrangements in the Water & Flowback Services Division are for a period of 90 days or less. Within our Compression Division service revenue, most aftermarket service revenues are recognized at a point in time when we transfer control of our products and complete the delivery of services to our customers.

We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most product sales and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for products or services are not expected to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a financing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer. For any arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we use management's estimated selling price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period. As of March 31, 2019, we had $24.6 million of remaining performance obligations related to our compression service contracts. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than 12 months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. The remaining performance obligations are expected to be recognized through 2022 as follows (in thousands):
 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Total
 (In Thousands)
Compression service contracts remaining performance obligations$10,444
 $9,851
 $4,240
 $32
 $
 $24,567
Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping costs as part of cost of product sales when control over our products (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer.

Use of Estimates. In recognizing revenue for variable consideration arrangements, the amount of variable consideration recognized is limited so that it is probable that significant amounts of revenues will not be reversed in future periods when the uncertainty is resolved. For products returned by the customer, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. For volume discounts earned by the customer, we estimate the discount (if any) based on our estimate of the total expected volume of products sold or services to be provided to the customer during the discount period. In certain contracts for the sale of CBF, we may agree to issue credits for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids from certain customers at an agreed price that is based on the condition of the fluids. For sales of CBF, we adjust the revenue recognized in the period of shipment by the estimated amount of the credit expected to be issued to the customer, and this estimate is based on historical

experience. As of March 31, 2019, the amount of remaining credits expected to be issued for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids was $1.1 million that were recorded in inventory (right of return asset) and accounts payable. There were no material differences between amounts recognized during the three month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to estimates made in a prior period from these variable consideration arrangements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. Any contract assets, along with billed and unbilled accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. We classify contract liabilities as Unearned Income in our consolidated balance sheets. Such deferred revenue typically results from advance payments received on orders for new compressor equipment prior to the time such equipment is completed and transferred to the customer in accordance with the customer contract.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, contract assets were immaterial. The following table reflects the changes in our contract liabilities during the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

 (In Thousands)
Unearned Income, beginning of period$25,333
Additional unearned income49,363
Revenue recognized(24,858)
Unearned income, end of period$49,838

During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, contract liabilities increased due to unearned income for consideration received on new compressor equipment being fabricated. During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, $24.9 million of unearned income was recognized as product sales revenue, primarily associated with deliveries of new compression equipment.

Contract Costs. As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, contract costs were immaterial.
Disaggregation of Revenue. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into Product Sales and Services within each segment, as noted in our three reportable segments in Note I. In addition, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geography based on the following table below.

NOTE K – LEASES

We have operating leases for some of our transportation equipment, office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. We have finance leases for certain storage tanks and equipment rentals. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 16 years. Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 days or six months. The office space, warehouse space, operating location leases, and machinery and equipment leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. We do not have leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Variable rent expense was not material.

Our corporate headquarters facility located in The Woodlands, Texas, was sold on December 31, 2012, pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction. As a condition to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the facility, the parties entered into a lease agreement for the facility having an initial lease term of 15 years, which is classified as an operating lease. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we have the ability to extend the lease for five successive five year periods at base rental rates to be determined at the time of each extension.

Components of lease expense, included in either cost of revenues or general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset, are as follows (inclusive of lease expense for leases not included on our consolidated balance sheet based on our accounting policy election to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.4, 2019 ("2018 Annual Report"). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.

Business Overview  

DuringThe growth in revenues for each of our divisions during the thirdthree months ended March 31, 2019, resulted in consolidated revenues increasing 22.2% compared to the corresponding prior year quarter. Our Water & Flowback Services Division reported a 28.8% growth in revenues, primarily due to the impact of 2018 acquisition activity, including the impact from the February 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater"), along with growth in our existing operations. Our Compression Division also reported strong growth, as continued high demand for compression equipment and services, reflected by a strong new equipment sales backlog and increased compression fleet utilization, resulted in a 21.1% increase in Compression Division revenues compared to the prior year quarter. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division also reported increased revenues, a 16.0% increase compared to the prior year quarter, of 2017, we saw improved demandprimarily due to increased international CBF product sales. Demand for many of our products and services reflecting recent reducedremains strong despite continued volatility in pricing for oil, which affects the plans of many of our oil and natural gas commodity prices. Despite flat offshore rig counts comparedoperations customers. Consolidated gross profit increased, primarily due to 2016, demand fromimproved Compression Division profitability, and despite continuing pricing and operating cost challenges in certain of our offshore Fluids Division customers has continued to be strong during 2017. Onshore rig counts in the U.S. and Canada have improved steadily from levels one year ago, resulting in improving markets for our Water & Flowback Services Division and Completion Fluids & Products Division. Consolidated increases in interest expense and Production Testing Divisions. For our Compression Division, increased demand for high-general and mid-level horsepower compression services and equipment is reflectedadministrative costs, attributed to the overall growth in operations, partially offset the improved fleet utilization as well as a significant increase in new equipment sales backlog. Demand for certain products and services in many of our foreign markets has also improved. While this improving market environment resulted in an increase in our consolidated revenues and gross profitprofitability during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the corresponding prior year period, the impact of improved demand is partially mitigated by continued customer pricing pressures faced by each of our businesses. Such pricing challenges are expected to ease going forward, particularly if demand and activity levels continue to increase. Our Offshore Services segment was also negatively impacted by challenging weather conditions during the third quarter of 2017, as hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico reduced equipment utilization. We continue to minimize headcount additions and seek to maintain the reduced operating and administrative cost structure implemented during the past three years, despite the recent increase in operating activity and the reinstatement of company-wide wages and benefits to their levels prior to the reductions that were implemented during 2016. Our consolidated pretax loss was reducedmonths ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased gross profit, but also partially due to the fair market valuation gain that was credited to earnings during the third quarter of 2017 on the liabilities recordedquarter.     

Funding for the CSI Compressco LP ("CCLP") Series A Preferred Units.

Despite the indicators of an improving market environment discussed above, both we and CCLP continue to focus aggressively on conserving cash and monitoring liquidity. We considerexpected continuing growth in our capital structure and CCLP's capital structure separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and our debt. Our debt is serviced by our existing cash balances and cash provided by operating activities (excluding CCLP) and the distributions we receive from CCLP, in excess of our cashoperations remains a key focus. Consolidated capital expenditures (excluding CCLP). As a result of improving operating cash flows, as of September 30, 2017, we have no amounts outstanding under our bank credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,and consolidated cash provided by operating activities was $36.8 millionduring the three months ended March 31, 2019 both increased compared to $27.2 million during the corresponding prior year period, including $24.6quarter. Following the financing restructuring transactions completed during 2018, we have capacity under our term credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) and our asset-based lending credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) to fund our growth capital expenditure plans, as well as potential acquisition transactions. These growth plans, particularly of our Water & Flowback Services Division, are designed to enable us to capitalize on the current demand for domestic onshore services that support hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. In addition, our Compression Division, through the separate capital structure of our CSI Compressco LP ("CCLP") subsidiary, expects to fund additional 2019 growth capital expenditures for new compression services equipment through $16.9 million of currently available cash providedas of March 31, 2019, expected operating cash flows, and through up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment to be purchased by us, and leased to CCLP. These sources are expected to enable CCLP to meet its growth capital expenditure requirements without having to access available borrowings under its credit agreement (the "CCLP Credit Agreement") and without having to access the operating activities of CCLP. This increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by improved operating profitability,current debt and despite the decrease in cash provided byequity markets. We and CCLP are aggressively managing our working capital changes related to the timing of collections of significant accounts receivable. Growth and maintenance capital expenditure levels continue to be significantly reduced for each of our businesses, including CCLP,needs in order to conserve cashmaximize our liquidity in the current environment. WeThe earliest maturity date of our long-term debt is September 2023 and CCLP continue to consider additional cost reductions and maintain our efforts to manage working capital. In April 2017, CCLP announced a reductionthe earliest maturity date of approximately 50% in the level of cash distributions to its common unitholders, including us. Despite the current level of cash distributions from CCLP, we believe that the cost reduction and capital structuring steps we and CCLP have taken during the past two years will allow us and CCLP to continue to meet our respective financial obligations and fund our respective future growth plans as needed, despite current uncertain operating and financial markets. We and CCLP believe that maintaining reduced cost structures and monitoring our balance sheets and capital structures on an ongoing basis enhances our respective abilities to remain fiscally responsible for the uncertain duration of the current customer pricing environment, and position each of us to capitalize on growth opportunities as industry conditions continue to improve.

CCLP's long-term debt is August 2022.

Approximately $506.8$633.7 million of our consolidated debt balance carrying value is owed by CCLP, serviced by CCLP's existing cash balances and cash provided by CCLP's operations (less its capital expenditures), and $343.5 million of which is secured by thecertain assets of CCLP. The following table provides condensed consolidating balance sheet information reflecting ourTETRA's net assets and CCLP's net assets that service and secure ourTETRA's and CCLP's respective capital structures.

During the first nine months of 2017, we received $11.3 million from CCLP as our share of CCLP common unit distributions. As a result of the April 2017 announcement by CCLP related to the reduction of its quarterly cash distributions on CCLP common units, the level of distributions from CCLP is expected to continue to be reduced for the foreseeable future.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $36.8 million compared to $27.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $9.6 million, or 35.3%, primarily due to improved operating profitability. Consolidated capital expenditures were $28.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and included $13.7 million of capital expenditures by our Compression Division resulting primarily from a system software development project designed to improve operating and administrative efficiencies. Corresponding prior year period consolidated capital expenditures were $15.4 million, including $7.6 million by our Compression Division. Although our capital expenditure levels are expected to increase going forward, they reflect our continuing efforts to defer or reduce capital expenditure projects where possible in the current market environment. Key objectives associated with our capital structure (excluding the capital structure of CCLP) include the ongoing management of amounts outstanding and available under our bank revolving credit facility and repayment of our 11% Senior Note. CCLP also continues to carefully monitor its 2017 capital expenditure program, in light of current customer pricing levels for its compression products and services, in order to minimize borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement. TETRA's future consolidated operating cash flows are also affected by the continuing challenges associated with extinguishing the remaining Maritech asset retirement obligations. The amount of recorded liability for these remaining obligations is approximately $46.5 million as of September 30, 2017. Approximately $0.5 million of this amount is expected to be performed during the twelve month period ending September 30, 2018, with the timing of a portion of this work being subject to change.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and
the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed
in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018 Annual Report. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We base these estimates on historical experience, available information, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable.We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those related to potential impairments of long-lived assets (including goodwill), the collectability of accounts receivable, the current cost of future abandonment and


decommissioning obligations, and the allocation of acquisition purchase price. The fair values of portions of our total assets and liabilities are measured using significant unobservable inputs. The combination of these factors forms the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur, as new information is acquired, and as changes in our operating environments are encountered. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates, and those differences may be material.

Consolidated revenues duringfor the current yearfirst quarter of 2019 increased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased FluidsCompression Division revenues.and Water & Flowback Services Division revenues, which increased by $18.0 millionand $17.6 million, respectively. Our Compression Division reported increased revenues of $18.0 million, primarily due to increased new compressor equipment sales activity. The increase in FluidsWater & Flowback Services Division revenues was primarily driven by increased salesactivity in certain domestic and international markets and the impact of offshore completion fluids products and onshore water management services activity, resulting in a $30.8 million increase in revenues. Increases infull quarter of SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division also reported increased revenues, of our Production Testing and Compression Divisions are due to increased activity levels compared to the prior year and despite continuing pricing challenges. Our Offshore Division reported a $3.9 million increase in revenues compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased diving, well abandonment, and cutting activity.international product sales. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the improving demand forincreased revenues of our Compression Division and our Completion Fluids & Products Division. The increased gross profit from these divisions more than offset the lower gross profit of our Water & Flowback Services Division, which experienced increased costs and Production Testing Divisions' products and services.challenging customer pricing in competitive markets compared to the prior year quarter. Despite the improvement in the activity levels of certain of our businesses, offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge profitability in certain onshore markets. Operating expenses reflect the profitability of each of our businesses. Whileincrease in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and maintaining reducedminimizing increased headcount, despite the results of each of our businesses partially reflect the impact of company-wide wage and benefit reinstatements during the first half of 2017 to reverse wage and benefit reductions that were implemented during the first half of 2016.increased operations.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the thirdcurrent year quarter of 2017 compared to the prior year period,quarter, primarily due to $3.9 million of increased salary related expenses and employee expenses$0.3 million of $3.4 million, which included the impact of the reinstatements of wages and benefits to their levels prior to the reductions, as well as increased insurance and other general expenses, of $0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by $0.6 million of decreased professional services fees, and $0.2 million of $0.8 milliondecreased consulting and other expenses. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Water & Flowback Services Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased bad debt expense of $0.9 million.

compared to the prior year period.

 
Consolidated interest expense, net, increased duringin the third quarter of 2017 compared to the priorcurrent year quarter as decreased Corporate interest expense, reflecting the decrease in long-term debt outstanding, was more than offset byprimarily due to Compression Division interest expense. Compression Division interest expense increased mainly due to the paid in kind distributionshigher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Preferred Units thatSenior Secured Notes, a portion of the proceeds of which were issued duringused to repay the prior year quarter.balance outstanding under the previous CCLP bank credit facility. Corporate interest expense also increased due to higher outstanding debt balances under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement. Interest expense during the 20172019 and 2016 periods2018 includes $1.2$1.0 million and $1.0$1.2 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.

The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 and therefore they are classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants are generally associated with the increase (or decrease) in the trading price of our common stock, resulting in adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains), and resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the Warrants are outstanding.

The CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units are convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units will generally increase or decrease with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value will be charged (credited) to earnings, as appropriate, resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the CCLP Preferred Units are outstanding.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $0.7$1.0 million of other income during the current year quarter compared to $2.1$2.8 million of other expense during the prior year quarter, primarily due to issuance costs$3.5 million of increased expense related to the CCLP Preferred Units which were issuedunamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings during the prior year quarter and due to insurance recoveries recordedas a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility. In addition, other income during the current year quarter.period includes $0.4 million associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for the SwiftWater acquisition.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the third quarterfirst three months of 20172019 is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 of negative 147.3%9.4% and negative 5.6%, respectively, was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to $17.3$6.3 million of increased product sales revenues, attributedrevenue primarily due to increased clear brine fluids ("CBF")international CBF product sales and associateddomestic manufactured products sales, partially offset by reduced CBF product sales revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, including increased revenues from a TETRA CS Neptune(R) completion fluid project during the period, and increased international fluid sales. While offshore rig counts remain low, we have seen an increase in demand from our customers, contributing to this increase. In addition, onshore manufactured product sales also increased compared to the prior year period. ServiceMexico. Additionally, service revenues increased $13.6$2.2 million, primarily due to increased water managementinternational completion services demand and activity, reflecting improvedactivity.

Production TestingWater & Flowback Services Division revenues increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to $3.9 million of increased water management services activity. Water management and flowback services revenues primarily due to increased domestic activity levels. Onshore U.S. activity levels in certain markets have reflected the increased rig counts compared to the prior year quarter.

The Production Testing Division reflected a gross profit during the current year quarter compared to a gross loss during the prior year quarter with the improvement being primarily due to the increase in revenues and improving customer pricing levels. However, customer pricing continues to be challenging due to excess availability of equipment. The Production Testing Division continues to monitor its cost structure in light of current market conditions.
The Production Testing Division reported a decreased pretax loss$18.5 million during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily resulting from the impact of a full quarter of SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018, the impact of the December 2018 acquisition of JRGO, and increased demand in completion activity. Product sales revenue decreased by $0.9 million, due to an international equipment sale in the prior period.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected decreased gross profit during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, despite increased revenues, due to a shift in revenue mix away from smaller, capital constrained customers towards larger operators with stronger balance sheets. The costs to demobilize from one customer to mobilize for another within the same quarterly period had a meaningful impact on profitability. We also experienced high maintenance costs on our flowback service equipment following the significant activity experienced in the fourth quarter of 2018, which was our highest flowback service revenue quarter in over three years.
The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreased pretax income compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the improvementdecrease in gross profit described above. General and administrative expenses levels remained consistentincreased primarily due to the $1.1 million impact from additional administrative expenses from the operations added as a result of the 2018 acquisitions. Total general and administrative increases included increased wage and benefit related expenses of $1.1 million, increased sales and marketing expenses of $0.4 million, and increased general expenses of $0.1 million, offset by decreased professional fees of $0.1 million. Other income, net, decreased during the current year period despite $0.4 million of income associated with the prior year quarter. Other income increasedremeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater, primarily due to increased foreign currency gains.

Compression Division revenues increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $0.5$10.4 million increase in product sales revenues, due to improving demand. Demand for new compressor equipment remains strong, and the current equipment sales backlog has decreased only slightly compared to the prior year quarter, despite significant sales recorded. Changes in our new equipment sales backlog are a function of additional customer orders less completed orders that result in equipment sales revenues. In addition, current year revenues reflect a $7.6 million increase in service revenues associated with the Compression Division'sfrom compression and aftermarket services operations. This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compressor fleet utilization rates, which offset the impact of decreased customer pricing and from sales of compressor packages that were previously in service. Although overallrates. Overall utilization of the Compression Division's compressor fleet has improved sequentially for four consecutive quarterly periods, demand for low-horsepower production enhancement compression services remains challenged. The $0.4 million increase in product sales revenues was due to a higher numberthe past two year period, led by increased utilization of new compressor equipment sales for customer projects compared to the prior year quarter. Demand for new compressor equipment continues to improve,high- and the current equipment sales backlog has increased significantly compared to the prior year quarter.medium-horsepower fleet.

Compression Division gross profit decreased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, despite the impact of an insurance recovery in the current year quarter for equipment that was damaged and impaired in the prior year. The impact of increased revenues discussed above was more than offset by increased compressor fleet operating costs resulting from increased utilization. Competitive pricing pressures began to diminish in late 2016, although customer pricing still remains generally lower than early 2016 levels.
The Compression Division recorded a decreased pretax loss during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter despite the decreased gross profit discussed above and despite increased interest expense associated with paid in kind distributions on the CCLP Preferred Units, which were issued during the prior year quarter. Offsetting these factors, the fair value adjustment of the CCLP Preferred Units was credited to earnings during the current year quarter compared to a charge to earnings during the prior year quarter. Changes in the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units may generate additional volatility to our earnings going forward. Other (income) expense, net, improved primarily due to $2.1 million of CCLP Preferred Units issuance costs being expensed during the prior year quarter and due to $0.6 million of other income associated with insurance recovery. General and administrative expense levels decreased compared to the prior year quarter, as decreased professional fees of $0.8 million and decreased bad debt expense of $0.3 million were partially offset by $0.4 million of increased salary and employee-related expenses and $0.1 million of decreased other general expenses.

Revenues for the Offshore Services segment increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased revenues from its diving services, well abandonment, and cutting businesses, which more than offset the decreased revenues from heavy lift services. Demand for diving, well abandonment, and cutting services has increased during 2017 compared to the prior year quarter. Decreased heavy lift revenues during the current quarter were primarily due to decreased equipment utilization compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting the impact of increased hurricane activity and other weather disruptions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that caused significant downtime during the current year quarter. Additionally, the remainder of Offshore Services businesses were also negatively impacted by the significant weather downtime. There were no revenues from Offshore Services work performed for our Maritech segment during the current year quarter compared to $0.3 million of such revenues during the prior year quarter. Revenues for work performed for Maritech, which are eliminated in consolidation, are expected to continue to be low in future periods.

The Offshore Services segment reflected a decreased gross profit during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, despite the impact of the increased activity levels discussed above, due to the decreased heavy lift services utilization during the quarter due to the weather issues noted above. In addition, significant activity levels have resulted in the Offshore Services segment leasing third-party equipment to serve certain customers, resulting in increased operating costs. The Offshore Services segment continues to consider additional opportunities to optimize its operating cost structure.
The Offshore Services segment reported decreased pretax earnings during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the decreased gross profit discussed above and despite a reduction in general and administrative expenses. The Offshore Services segment continues to review its administrative cost structure for additional cost reductions and process efficiency actions in response to current market conditions.

Corporate Overhead pretax loss increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased general and administrative expense. Corporate general and administrative expense increased due to $2.4 million of increased salary, incentives and employee related expenses, $0.7 million of increased other general expenses, and $0.4 million of increased professional service fees. The increased salary, incentives and employee related expenses include the impact of company-wide reinstatements during the first half of 2017 of wages and benefits to their levels prior to the reductions that were implemented during the first half of 2016. In addition, other expense increased due to $0.3 million of decreased financing cost in the prior year period. These increased expenses compared to the prior year quarter were partially offset by decreased interest expense, reflecting the reduction in outstanding long-term debt, following the December 2016 equity offering, for which the proceeds were primarily used to retire long-term debt outstanding.

Consolidated revenuesfor 2017 increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased Fluids Division revenues, which increased by $72.9 million, driven by increased sales of offshore completion fluids products and onshore water management services activity. In addition, our Production Testing Division and Offshore Services segment also reported increased revenues compared to the prior year period. Partially offsetting these increases, our Compression Division reported a $16.0 million decrease in revenues compared to the prior year period, due to decreased demand earlier in 2017 and pricing pressures for compression services, and despite recent increases in compression fleet utilization. Challenging and competitive markets and activity levels continue to impact each of our businesses, although we continue to see indicators of an improving demand for many of our products and services. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased revenues and activity, particularly for the Fluids Division, and due to $10.9 million of long-lived asset impairments recorded during the prior year period. Despite the improving demand for many of our products and services, the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge the profitability of each of our businesses. While we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and maintaining reduced headcount, the results of each of our businesses reflect the impact of company-wide reinstatements during the first half of 2017 reversing wage and benefit reductions that were implemented during the first half of 2016.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year periodcompared to the prior year period, primarily due to $7.5 million of increased salary related expenses and $1.2 million of insurance and other general expenses, partly offset by decreased professional services fees of $6.1 million and decreased bad debt expense of $1.0 million. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year period.
During the first quarter of 2016, we updated our test of goodwill impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-20 "Goodwill" due to the


decreases in the price of our common stock and the common unit price of CCLP. The continued decreased oil and natural gas commodity prices had, and are expected to have, a continuing negative impact on industry drilling and capital expenditure activity, which affects the expected demand for products and services of each of our reporting units. Specifically, demand for our Compression Division's compression services and for sales of compressor equipment decreased significantly and are expected to continue to be decreased for the foreseeable future. Demand for our Production Testing Division's services also decreased as a result of decreased drilling and completion activity. This expected decreased demand, along with the decreases in the price of our common stock and the common unit price of our CCLP subsidiary, also caused an overall reduction in the fair values of each of our reporting units, particularly our Compression and Production Testing reporting units. As part of the test of goodwill impairment, we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units, and determined, based on these estimated values, that impairments of the remaining goodwill of our Compression and Production Testing reporting units were necessary, primarily due to the market factors discussed above. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2016, we recorded total impairment charges of $106.2 million associated with the goodwill of these reporting units.

Consolidated interest expense, net, decreasedThe increased compressor fleet utilization rates have led to increases in the current year period primarily due to the decrease in Corporate interest expense, reflecting the decrease in long-term debt outstanding. Largely offsetting this decrease, Compression Division interest expense increased related to the paid in kind distributions on the CCLP Preferred Units that were issued during late 2016. Interest expense during 2017 and 2016 includes $3.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.
The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 and therefore they are classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants are generally associated with the increase (or decrease) in the trading price of our common stock, resulting in adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains), and resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the Warrants are outstanding.customer contract pricing.

The CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units are convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units will generally increase or decrease with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value will be charged (credited) to earnings, resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the CCLP Preferred Units are outstanding.

During the current year period, our FluidsCompression Division collected $12.8 million from a successful legal arbitration award, resulting in a credit to earnings. Partially offsetting this award, the Offshore Services segment recorded a charge to earnings of $2.8 million associated with a litigation arbitration ruling related to a dispute over leased vessel charges. We are considering an appeal of this judgment.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $0.1 million of income during the current year period compared to $3.6 million of expense during the prior year period, with the improvement primarily due to $1.6 million of unamortized deferred finance costs that were charged to earnings in the prior year period as a result of the repayment of senior notes and senior secured notes, as well as from $2.1 million of issuance costs from the CCLP Preferred Units which were issued during the prior year period. In addition, $0.6 million of insurance recoveries were credited to other income during the current year period. Partially offsetting these decreases, $0.5 million of early extinguishment net gain was credited to other expense during the prior year period.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the first nine months of 2016 and 2017 was primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 of negative 18.7% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operatingdecreased pretax loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions. Further, the effective tax rate during 2016 was negatively impacted by the nondeductible portion of our goodwill impairments recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Increased Fluids Division revenues during the current year period compared to the prior year period were primarily due to $44.4 million of increased product sales revenues, attributed to increased clear brine fluids ("CBF") and associated product sales revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, including product sales associated with a TETRA CS Neptunecompletion fluid project during the period. While offshore rig counts remain low, we have seen an increase in demand from our customers, contributing to this increase. In addition, international offshore fluid sales and onshore manufactured product sales increased compared to the prior year period. Service revenues increased $28.6 million, due to increased water management services activity resulting from the impact of increased demand, reflecting the growth in domestic onshore rig count.

Fluids Division gross profit during the current year period increased significantly compared to the prior year period primarily due to the profitability associated with the mix of CBF products and services, particularly for offshore completion fluids products and increased revenues and improved profitability from water management services. Fluids Division profitability in future periods will continue to be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptunecompletion fluid projects.

The Fluids Division reported a significant increase in pretax earnings during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased gross profit discussed above. In addition, pretax earnings alsoInterest expense increased due to the collection of a successful legal arbitration award of $12.8 million during January 2017 that was credited to earnings. Fluids Division administrative cost levels decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to $3.8higher outstanding CCLP debt balances and a higher interest rate from the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, issued in March 2018, when compared to the previous CCLP bank credit facility. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year period, due to increased salary and employee-related expenses, including the impact of increased headcount, incentives and equity compensation, of $2.1 million and increased other general expenses of $0.3 million, offset by $0.1 million of decreased legalsales and professional feesmarketing expenses. Largely offsetting the increase in general and $0.4administrative and interest expense, prior year other expense, net, reflected $3.5 million of decreased bad debt expense.

In addition, the Series A Preferred fair value adjustment resulted in a $1.2 million charge to continue to be decreased compared to the 2016 period. These decreases were partially offset by $1.6 million of increased wage and benefit related expenses, $0.2 million of increased insurance and other general expense. The Fluids Division continues to review opportunities to further reduce its administrative costs. The division reported other expense, net,earnings during the current year period compared to other income during the prior year period primarily duea $1.4 million charge to increased foreign currency losses compared toearnings in the prior year period.

Production Testing Division revenuesCorporate Overhead pretax loss increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to $6.1 million of product sales revenues associated with an international equipment sale. Production Testing service revenues increased $1.9 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period, reflecting increased activity in certain domestic and international markets. Onshore U.S. activity levels in certain markets have reflected the increased rig counts compared to the prior year period, although customer pricing levels continue to be challenging due to excess availability of equipment.

The Production Testing Division had a decreased gross loss during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to the increased industry activity and the international equipment sale discussed above. In addition, the Production Testing Division recorded $2.8 million of long-lived asset impairments as of March 31, 2016.
The Production Testing Division reported a decreased pretax loss compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the goodwill impairment recorded during the prior year period, and due to the decreased gross loss discussed above. General and administrative expenses decreased due to decreased wage and benefit related expenses of $0.8 million, which were partially offset by $0.3 million of increased general expenses, and $0.1 million of increased professional fees. The division continues to review additional opportunities to further reduce its operating and administrative cost levels in light of current market conditions. Other income, net decreased primarily due to decreased foreign currency gains.

Compression Division revenues decreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period, primarily due to reductions in compression and related services revenues. The $15.6 million decrease in compression and related service revenues resulted primarily from the reduction in pricing for compression services as well as the impact of sales of compressor packages that were previously in service, and was realized despite increased overall compressor fleet utilization. Although overall utilization of the Compression Division's compressor fleet has improved sequentially for four consecutive quarterly periods, demand for low-horsepower production enhancement compression services remains challenged. Revenues from sales of compressor packages and parts during the current year period decreased $0.5 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased parts sales.

Compression Division gross profit decreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period, despite an approximately $2.4 million insurance recovery in the current year period for equipment that was damaged and impaired in the prior year, and despite a $7.9 million impairment of long-lived assets that was recorded during the prior year period, due to the factors affecting compression service revenues discussed above. Competitive pricing pressures began to diminish in late 2016, although customer pricing still remains generally lower than early 2016 levels.

The Compression Division recorded a decreased pretax loss during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the impact of goodwill impairment recorded during the prior year period. In addition, the fair value adjustment of the CCLP Preferred Units was credited to earnings during the current year period compared to a charge to earnings in the prior year period. Changes in the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units may generate additional volatility to our earnings going forward. Also, general and administrative expense levels decreased compared to the prior year period, mainly due to decreased professional fees of $1.4 million, decreased other general expenses of $0.5 million, and decreased bad debt expense of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased salary related expenses of $0.7 million. The Compression Division recorded other income, net, during the current year period compared to other expense, net, during the prior year period due to $2.1 million of CCLP Preferred Units issuance costs that were expensed during the prior year period, and due to $0.6 million of insurance recoveries credited to other income during the current year period. These decreased expenses were partially offset by the decreased gross profit discussed above, and due to increased interest expense, net, compared to the prior year period due to the expense associated with paid in kind distributions on the CCLP Preferred Units, that were issued during the third quarter, of 2016.

Revenues for the Offshore Services segment increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period, as increased revenues from its diving, well abandonment, and cutting businesses were partially offset by decreased heavy lift services revenues. Demand for diving and well abandonment services has increased, and Offshore Services anticipates continued improved demand levels for these businesses compared to the prior year period. Decreased heavy lift activity levels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the current year period reflects decreased utilization, reflecting the impact of increased hurricane activity and other weather disruptions in the U.S.


Gulf of Mexico that caused significant downtime during the current year period. Additionally, the remainder of Offshore Services businesses were also negatively impacted by the more significant weather downtime. There were no revenues from Offshore Services work performed for our Maritech segment during the current year period compared to $0.8 million of revenues during the prior year period. Revenues for work performed for Maritech, which are eliminated in consolidation, are expected to continue to be low in future periods.

The Offshore Services segment reported an increased gross loss for the current year period as the impact of decreased activity levels for heavy lift services more than offset the improved profitability from diving and well abandonment services. Additionally, the gross loss was increased due to weather disruptions during the current year period as noted above. In addition, significant activity levels have resulted in the Offshore Services segment leasing third-party equipment to serve certain customers, resulting in increased operating costs. The Offshore Services segment continues to consider additional opportunities to optimize its operating cost structure.
Offshore Services segment loss before taxes increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased gross loss discussed above. Also, during the current year period, the Offshore Services Division recorded a charge to earnings associated with a litigation arbitration ruling related to a dispute over leased vessel charges. We are considering an appeal of this judgment. The increased segment pretax loss occurred despite a reduction in general and administrative expenses, that was primarily from reduced salary and employee related expenses of $0.8 million, partially offset by increased bad debt expenses of $0.2 million. The Offshore Services segment continues to review its administrative cost structure for additional cost reductions and process efficiency actions in response to current market conditions.

Corporate Overhead pretax loss decreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the adjustment of the fair value of the outstanding Warrants liability that resulted in a $0.4 million charge to earnings compared to an $11.6$2.0 million credit to earnings. In addition, interest expense, net,earnings during the current year period decreased compared to the prior year period, reflecting the reduction in outstanding long-term debt following the June and December 2016 equity offerings, the proceeds from which were primarily used to retire long-term debt outstanding. In addition, other expense, net, decreased primarily due to $1.5 million of unamortized deferred finance costs that were charged to earnings pursuant to the repayment of senior notes and senior secured notes in the prior year period.quarter. Corporate general and administrative expense increaseddecreased primarily due to $6.9$0.9 million of decreased professional fees, $0.4 million of decreased general expenses, and $0.5 million of decreased consulting fees. These decreases were offset by increased salary incentives and employee related expense andof $1.1 million. In addition, other income of $0.3 million of increased general expenses. The increased salary, incentives and employee related expenses include the impact of company-wide reinstatements during the first half of 2017 of salaries and the discontinuation of the workweek reductions that were implemented during the first half of 2016, as well as the impact of severance expensewas recorded during the current year period. These increases were partially offset by $0.9quarter, compared to $0.2 million of decreased legal and professional fees.

expense during the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased foreign currency gains.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
    
We reported an increase in consolidated cash flows from operating activities during the first nine months of 2017 compared to the corresponding prior year period. This increase occurred largely due to the improved profitability of our operations, and despite increased working capital needs largely due to the timing of collections of accounts receivable. Operating cash flows also increased due to improving activity levels and maintaining cost reduction efficiencies. CCLP generated $24.6 million of our consolidated operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and we received $11.3 million of cash distributions from CCLP during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $16.7 million during the corresponding prior year period. In April 2017, CCLP announced a reduction of approximately 50% in the level of cash distributions to its common unitholders, including us. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received common units issued by CCLP in lieu of cash for reimbursement of certain administrative expenses charged to CCLP. We believe that despite the expected reduction in future cash distribution levels from CCLP, the cost reduction and capital structure steps we have taken during the past twothree years position us to continue to support our ability to meet our financial obligations and fund future growth as needed, despite current uncertain operating and financial markets.

We As of March 31, 2019, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective credit agreementsdebt agreements. Information about the terms and senior note agreements ascovenants of September 30, 2017. With regard to CCLP, considering financial forecasts as of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which consider the May 2017 amendment to the CCLP Credit Agreement (see discussion below), and the current level of cash distributions to be paid on CCLP common units, CCLP believes that it will have adequate liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to fund its operations and debt obligations and maintain compliance with the covenants under its debt agreements through November 9, 2018. We have reviewedcan be found in our financial forecasts as of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which consider the current level of cash distributions expected to be received on the CCLP common units we own. Based on this review as of November 9, 2017, we anticipate that we will have sufficient liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to maintain compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements through November 9, 2018.

Our consolidated sources and uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Because of the level of consolidated debt, we believe it is increasingly important to consider our capital structure and CCLP's capital structure separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt. (See Financing Activities section below for a discussion of the terms of our and CCLP's respective debt arrangements.) Our consolidated debt outstanding has a carrying value of approximately $624.1$845.8 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. However, approximately $506.8$633.7 million of this consolidated debt balance is owed by CCLP and is serviced from the existing cash balances and cash flows of CCLP, and is secured by itscertain of CCLP's assets. Through our common unit ownership interest in CCLP, which was approximately 42%34% as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, and ownership of an approximately 2%1% general partner interest, that includes incentive distribution rights, we receive our share of the distributable cash flows of CCLP through its quarterly cash distributions. Approximately $7.4$16.9 million of the $20.9$36.9 million of the cash balance reflected on our consolidated balance sheet is owned by CCLP and is not accessible by us. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings, we had $27.3 million availability under the ABL Credit Agreement.

Operating cash flows increased primarily due to improved operating profitability and despitedue to minimizing the decrease touse of cash provided byfor working capital changes, particularly related to the timing of collectionspayments of significant accounts receivable.payable. We have taken steps to aggressively manage working capital, including increased collection efforts and a focus on minimizing inventory levels.efforts. We continue to monitor customer credit risk in the current environment and have historically focused on serving larger capitalized oil and gas operators and national oil companies.

Demand for the vast majority of our products and services is driven by oil and gas industry activity, which is affected by oil and natural gas commodity pricing. The continuation of decreased oil and natural gas prices compared to pre-2015 levels has continued to negatively affect the capital expenditure and operating plans of many of our oil and gas customers, affecting each of our operating segments. The volatility of oil and natural gas prices is expected to continue in the future. While domestic onshore rig counts have steadily improved compared to early 2016, offshore and international rig count levels remain relatively unchanged. If oil and gas industry activity levels remain at current levels or decrease in the future, we expect that our levels of operating cash flows will continue to be negatively affected.

During the first nine months of 2017, and despite increasing activity levels for many of our businesses, we continued to take steps to maintain reduced operating and administrative headcount where possible and implement cost reductions for each of our segments. These steps are designed to further streamline our operations in response to continuing market challenges for certain of our businesses. Together with the specific cost reduction steps taken during prior periods, these cost reduction efforts have partially mitigated the decreased operating cash flows and profitability resulting from the current market environment. We will continue to review for other opportunities to reduce costs. While each of our businesses remain aggressive in managing operating costs and maintaining reduced headcount, our cash flows from operating activities partially reflect the impact of company-wide reinstatement during the first nine months of 2017 of wages and benefits to the levels prior to the reductions that were implemented during 2016.

As of September 30, 2017, Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities associated with its remaining offshore oil and gas production wells, platforms, and facilities totaled approximately $46.5 million. Approximately $0.5 million of this amount is expected to be performed during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2018, with the timing


of a portion of this work being discretionary. Until the remaining decommissioning liabilities are extinguished, our future operating cash flows will continue to be affected by Maritech’s decommissioning expenditures as they are incurred.Included in Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities is the remaining abandonment, decommissioning, and debris removal work associated with an offshore platform that was previously destroyed byahurricane as well as certain remediation work required on wells that were previously plugged. Due to the unique nature of the remaining work to be performed associated with these properties, actual costs could greatly exceed these estimates and could therefore result in significant charges to earnings and cash flows in future periods.
The amount of work performed or estimated to be performed on a Maritech property asset retirement obligation often exceeds amounts previously estimated for numerous reasons including physical subsea, geological, or downhole conditions, that are different from those anticipated at the time of estimation due to the age of the property and the quality of information available about the particular property conditions. Maritech’s remaining oil and gas properties and production platforms were drilled and constructed by other operators many years ago and frequently there is not a great deal of detailed documentation on which to base the estimated asset retirement obligation for these properties. Appropriate underwater surveys are typically performed to determine the condition of such properties as part of our due diligence in estimating the costs, but not all conditions are able to be determined prior to the commencement of the actual work. During the performance of asset retirement activities, unforeseen weather or other conditions may also extend the duration and increase the cost of the projects, which are normally not done on a fixed price basis, thereby resulting in costs in excess of the original estimate.

Maritech has one remaining property that was damaged by a hurricane in the past, leaving the production platform toppled on the seabed and production tubing from the wells (which may be under pressure) bent underwater. While the basic procedures involved in the plugging and abandonment of wells and decommissioning of platforms and pipelines and removal of debris is generally similar for these types of properties, the cost of performing work at these damaged locations is particularly difficult to estimate due to the unique conditions encountered, including the uncertainty regarding the extent of physical damage to many of the structures.

In addition, Maritech has encountered situations where previously plugged and abandoned wells on its properties have later exhibited a build-up of pressure that is evidenced by gas bubbles coming from the plugged well head. We refer to this situation as “wells under pressure” and this can either be discovered by us when we perform additional work at the property or by notification from a third party. Wells under pressure require Maritech to return to the site to perform additional plug and abandonment procedures that were not originally anticipated or included in the estimate of the asset retirement obligation for such property. Remediation work at previously abandoned well sites is particularly costly due to the lack of a platform from which to base these activities. Maritech is the last operator of record for its plugged wells and bears the risk of additional future work required as a result of wells becoming under pressure in the future.

For oil and gas properties previously operated by Maritech, the purchaser of the properties generally became the successor operator and assumed the financial responsibilities associated with the properties’ operations and abandonment and decommissioning. However, to the extent that purchasers of these oil and gas properties fail to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required and there is insufficient bonding or other security, the previous owners and operators of the properties, including Maritech, may be required to assume responsibility for the abandonment and decommissioning obligations.

As of November 9, 2017, TETRA (excluding CCLP) had an outstanding balance on itsThe ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended,of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the "Credit Agreement"),value of $15.0 million,TETRA’s andhad $4.3 million in letters any other borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable, and contains within the facility a letter of credit against therevolving credit facility, leavingsublimit of $20.0 million and a net availability, subject to compliance with our covenants and other provisionsswingline loan sublimit of the$10.0 million. The ABL Credit Agreement that limit borrowingsis scheduled to mature on September 10, 2023. As of May 9, 2019, we have $26.9 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, of $180.7 million. These amounts do not reflect the CCLP Credit Agreement, which is separate and distinct from TETRA'sour ABL Credit Agreement and is discussed further below. The Credit Agreement, as amended, matures on September 30, 2019 and limits aggregate lender commitments to $200 million. Borrowings generally bear interest at the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 2.50% to 4.25%, depending on one$8.9 million letters of our financial ratios. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 1.00% on unused portions of the facility. All obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees of such obligations are secured by first-lien security interests in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries other than CCLP and its subsidiaries (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 66% of the voting stock or equity interests of first-tier foreign subsidiaries). Such security interests are for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement as well as the holder of our 11% Senior Note on a pari passu basis. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes various limitations on acquisitions, dispositions and capital expenditures.credit.
    
OurTerm Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and other restrictions, including certain financial ratio covenants based on our levels of debt and interest cost compared to a defined measure of our operating cash flows over a twelve month period..    The Term Credit Agreement requires usprovides for an initial loan in the amount of $200 million and the availability of additional loans, subject to maintain (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio that may not be less than 1.25 to 1 asthe terms of the end of any fiscal quarter; and (ii) a consolidated leverage ratio that may not exceed (a) 5.00 to 1 at the end of fiscal quarters ending during the period from and including March 31, 2017 through and including December 31, 2017, (b) 4.75 to 1 at the end of fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, (c) 4.50 to 1 at the end of fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, and (d) 4.00 to 1 at the end of each of the fiscal quarters thereafter. At September 30, 2017, our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.95 to 1 (compared to a 5.00 to 1 maximum allowed under the Credit Agreement). At September 30, 2017, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.77 to 1 (compared to a 1.25 to 1 minimum required under the Credit Agreement). Deterioration of these financial ratios could result in a default by us under theTerm Credit Agreement, that, if not remedied, could result in terminationup to an aggregate amount of the$75 million. The Term Credit Agreement and acceleration of any outstanding balances. Any such default could also result in a cross-default under our 11% Senior Note. We have reviewed our financial forecasts as of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which consider the current level of distributions expectedis scheduled to be receivedmature on the CCLP common units we own. Based on this review, and the current market conditions as of November 9, 2017, we anticipate that, despite the current industry environment and activity levels, we will have sufficient liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to maintain compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements through November 9, 2018.

CCLP is an unrestricted subsidiary and is not a borrower or a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes cross-default provisions relating to any other indebtedness (excluding indebtedness of


CCLP) greater than a defined amount. Our Credit Agreement also contains a covenant that restricts us from paying dividends in the event of a default or if such payment would result in an event of default.

Our Senior Note. Our senior note consists of the 11% Senior Note that was initially issued and sold in November 2015 and later amended (the "Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement").September 10, 2025. As of NovemberMay 9, 2017, the2019, $220.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 11% Senior Note is $125.0 million.

The 11% Senior Note bears interest at the fixed rate of 11.0% and matures on November 5, 2022. Interest on the 11% Senior Note is due quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year. We may prepay the 11% Senior Note, in whole or in part at a prepayment price equal to (i) prior to November 20, 2018, 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” prepayment amount, (ii) during the period commencing on November 20, 2018, and ending on November 19, 2019, 104% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) during the period commencing on November 20, 2019 and ending on November 19, 2020, 102% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, (iv) during the period commencing on November 20, 2020, and ending on November 19, 2021, 101% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (v) on or after November 20, 2021, 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 11% Senior Note is guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement contains customary covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or create liens; merge or consolidate or sell substantially all of our assets; engage in a different business; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain payments. In addition, the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio (ratio of debt and letters of credit outstanding to a defined measure of earnings). The maximum leverage ratio is further defined in the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement. Consolidated net earnings under the Amended and Restated 11% Senior NoteTerm Credit Agreement is the aggregate of our net income (or loss) of our consolidated restricted subsidiaries, including cash dividends and distributions (not the return of capital) received from persons other than consolidated restricted subsidiaries (such as CCLP) and after allowances for taxes for such period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding certain items more specifically described therein. CCLP is an unrestricted subsidiary and is not a borrower or a guarantor under the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement.outstanding.

The Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement includes cross-default provisions relating to other indebtedness (excluding indebtedness of CCLP) greater than a defined amount. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement, the 11% Senior Note may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by declaration of holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the 11% Senior Note at the time outstanding.

In addition, the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement requires a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter of 1.25 to 1 and allows a maximum ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness at the end of any fiscal quarter of a defined measure of earnings ("EBITDA") of (a) 5.00 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the period commencing March 31, 2017 and ending December 31, 2017, (b) 4.75 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and (c) 4.50 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, and (d) 4.00 to 1 at the end of fiscal quarters ending thereafter. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement, the 11% Senior Note is secured by first-lien security interests in substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a pari passu basis with the lenders under the Credit Agreement. See the above discussion of our Credit Agreement for a description of these security interests. The 11% Senior Note is pari passu in right of payment with all borrowings under the Credit Agreement and ranks at least pari passu in right of payment with all other outstanding indebtedness. We are in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Unsecured Note Purchase Agreement as of September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, our ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to EBITDA was 1.95 to 1 (compared to 5.00 to 1 maximum allowed under the Amended and Restated 11% Senior Note Agreement).

CCLP Financing Activities

CCLP Preferred Units. On August 8, 2016 and September 20, 2016, CCLP entered into Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreements (the “Unit Purchase Agreements”) with certain purchasers with regard to its issuance and sale in private placements (the "Initial Private Placement" and "Subsequent Private Placement," respectively) of


an aggregate of 6,999,126 CCLP Preferred Units for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”), resulting in total 2016 net proceeds, after deducting certain offering expenses, of approximately $77.3 million. We purchased 874,891 of the CCLP Preferred Units at the aggregate Issue Price of $10.0 million.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Private Placement, CSI Compressco GP Inc (our wholly owned subsidiary) executed the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement to, among other things, authorize and establish the rights and preferences of the CCLP Preferred Units. The CCLP Preferred Units are a new class of equity security that will rank senior to all classes or series of equity securities of CCLP with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. We and the other holders of CCLP Preferred Units (each, a “CCLP Preferred Unitholder”) will receive quarterly distributions, which will beare paid in kind in additional CCLP Preferred Units, equal to an annual rate of 11.00% of the Issue Price ($1.2573 per unit annualized), of the outstanding CCLP Preferred Units, subject to certain adjustments. The rights

Unless otherwise redeemed for cash, a ratable portion of the CCLP Preferred Units include certain anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for economic dilution resulting from the issuance of common units in the future below a set price.

Ratable portions of the CCLP Preferred Units havehas been, and will continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of each month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 and will end in August 2019 (each, a “Conversion Date”), subject to certain provisions of the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement that may delay or accelerate all or a portion of such monthly conversions. On each Conversion Date, a portion of the CCLP Preferred Units will convert into CCLP common units representing limited partner interests in CCLP in an amount equal to, with respect to each CCLP Preferred Unitholder, the number of CCLP Preferred Units held by such CCLP Preferred Unitholder divided by the number of Conversion Dates remaining, subject to adjustment described in the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement,. Beginning with the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined by the trading prices of the common units over the prior month, among other factors, and as otherwise impacted by the existence of certain conditions related to the CCLP common units. On June, 7, 2017, as permitted under the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement,January 2019 Conversion Date, CCLP elected to deferredeem the monthly conversion ofremaining CCLP Preferred Units for each of the Conversion Datescash, resulting in 783,046 Preferred Units being redeemed during the three month period beginning July 8, 2017. As a result, no CCLP Preferred Units were converted into CCLP common units during the three month periodmonths ended September 30, 2017, and future monthly conversions will be increased beginning in October 2017. The maximum aggregate numberMarch 31, 2019 for $9.4 million, which includes approximately $0.4 million of CCLP common unitsredemption premium that could be required to be issued pursuant to the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units is potentially unlimited; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and CCLP common units, to the CCLP Preferred Unitholders instead of issuing CCLP common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement.was paid. Including the impact of paid in kind distributions of CCLP Preferred Units and conversions of CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units, and the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash, the total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was 6,673,202,1,779,417, of which we held 838,078.

Because the CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity." The fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units as of September 30, 2017 was $68.3 million. Changes in the fair value during each quarterly period, if any, are charged or credited to earnings in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Charges or credits to earnings for changes in the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units, along with the interest expense for the accrual and payment of paid-in-kind distributions associated with the CCLP Preferred Units, are non-cash charges and credits associated with the CCLP Preferred Units.

In addition, the CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements include certain provisions regarding change of control, transfer of CCLP Preferred Units, indemnities, and other matters described in detail in the CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements. The CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of CCLP and the purchasers.223,474.

CCLP’sCCLP Bank Credit Facilities. Under CCLP's bankThe CCLP Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit agreement, (as amended,commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit (with a sublimit of $25.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $5.0 million), subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the "CCLP Credit Agreement"), CCLPvalue of CCLP’s and CSI Compressco Sub, Inc. are named asany other borrowers’ accounts receivable. Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the borrowersterms and all obligations underconditions of the CCLP Credit Agreement are guaranteed by allAgreement. As of CCLP's existingMarch 31, 2019, CCLP had no

outstanding balance and future, direct and indirect, domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than domestic subsidiaries that are wholly owned by foreign subsidiaries). We are not a borrower or a guarantor underhad $3.5 million in letters of credit against the CCLP Credit Agreement. The CCLP Credit Agreement as amended, includes a maximum credit commitment of $315.0 million, and included within such amount is availability for letters of credit (with a sublimit of $20.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $60.0 million). The CCLP Credit Agreement is an asset-based facility.



On May 5, 2017, CCLP entered into an amendment (the "CCLP Fifth Amendment")scheduled to the CCLP Credit Agreement that, among other changes, modified certain financial covenants in the CCLP Credit Agreement. The CCLP Fifth Amendment also included additional revisions that provide flexibility to CCLP for the issuance of preferred securities.

mature on June 29, 2023. As of November 9, 2017,May 8, 2019, CCLP has ano balance outstanding under the CCLP Credit Agreement of $230.0and $5.3 million and $1.9 millionin letters of credit outstanding, leaving availability under the Credit Agreement of $83.1 million. Availability under the CCLP Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on components of accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment as well as subject to compliance with covenants and other provisions in the CCLP Credit Agreement that may limit borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement.
The CCLP Credit Agreement is available to provide CCLP's working capital needs, letters of credit, and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and potential future expansions or acquisitions. So long as CCLP is not in default, and maintains excess availability of $30.0 million, the CCLP Credit Agreement can also be used to fund its quarterly common unit distributions at the option of the board of directors of its General Partner (provided that after giving effect to such distributions, CCLP will be in compliance with the financial covenants). Borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default. The CCLP Credit Agreement matures in August 2019.credit.

Borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement generally bearSenior Secured Notes. As of May 8, 2019, $350.0 million in aggregate principal was outstanding. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum equaland are scheduled to at CCLP's option, either (a) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) plus a leverage based margin that ranges between 2.00% and 3.50% per annum or (b) a base rate plus a leverage-based margin that ranges between 1.00% and 2.50% per annum; in each case dependingmature on the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio. CCLP pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the facility. Under the CCLP Credit Agreement, CCLP and CSI Compressco Sub, Inc. are named as the borrowers and all obligations under the CCLP Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of CCLP's existing and future, direct and indirect, domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than domestic subsidiaries that are wholly owned by foreign subsidiaries), and secured by substantially all of CCLP's assets and the assets of its domestic subsidiaries. We are not a borrower or a guarantor under the CCLP Credit Agreement.

The CCLP Credit Agreement, as amended, requires CCLP to maintain (i) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as of each quarter end period (defined ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") to consolidated interest charges) of (a) 2.25 toApril 1, as of the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 through June 30, 2018; (b) 2.50 to 1 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018; and (c) 2.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2019 and thereafter, (ii) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ) of (a) 5.95 to 1 as of March 31, 2017; (b) 6.75 to 1 as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017; (c) 6.50 to 1 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018; (d) 6.25 to 1 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018; (e) 6.00 to 1 as of December 31, 2018; and (f) 5.75 to 1 as of March 31, 2019 and thereafter, and (iii) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio (consolidated secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) of 3.25 to 1 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, calculated on a trailing four quarters basis. At September 30, 2017, CCLP's consolidated total leverage ratio was 6.33 to 1, its consolidated secured leverage ratio was 2.75 to 1, and its interest coverage ratio was 2.63 to 1. In addition, the CCLP Credit Agreement includes other customary covenants that, among other things, limit CCLP's ability to incur additional debt, incur, or permit certain liens to exist, or make certain loans, investments, acquisitions, or other restricted payments. In addition, the CCLP Credit Agreement requires that, among other conditions, CCLP use designated consolidated cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of $35.0 million to prepay the loans; allows the prepayment or purchase of indebtedness with proceeds from the issuances of equity securities or in exchange for the issuances of equity securities; and restricts the amount of CCLP's permitted capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business during each fiscal year to $50.0 million in 2017 and 2018, and $75.0 million in 2019.

The consolidated total leverage ratio and the consolidated secured leverage ratio, as both are calculated under the CCLP Credit Agreement, exclude the long-term liability for the CCLP Preferred Units, among other items, in the determination of total indebtedness.

CCLP is in compliance with all covenants of the CCLP Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017. CCLP has reviewed its financial forecasts as of November 9, 2017 for the subsequent twelve month period, which considers the May 2017 amendment to the CCLP Credit Agreement and the current level of distributions to be paid on CCLP common units. CCLP believes that it will have adequate liquidity, earnings, and operating cash flows to


fund its operations and debt obligations and maintain compliance with the covenants under its debt agreements through November 9, 2018.

All obligations under the CCLP Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first lien security interest in substantially all of CCLP's assets and the assets of its existing and future domestic subsidiaries, and all of the capital stock of CCLP's existing and future subsidiaries (limited in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the voting stock of first tier foreign subsidiaries).2025.

CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes. The obligations under the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CCLP’s domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance) that guarantee CCLP’s other indebtedness (the "Guarantors" and together with the Issuers, the "Obligors"). The CCLP Senior Notes and the subsidiary guarantees thereof (together, the "CCLP Securities") were issued pursuant to an indenture described below. As of NovemberMay 8, 2017,2019, $295.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes arewas outstanding.

The Obligors issued the CCLP Securities pursuant to the Indenture dated as of August 4, 2014 (the "Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The CCLP Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum. Interest on the CCLP Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15annum and August 15 of each year. The CCLP Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on August 15, 2022.

The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting CCLP’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; (iii) create certain liens; (iv) sell assets; (v) merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries under the Indenture. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and acceleration provisions relating to such events of default, which provide that upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Notes then outstanding may declare all amounts owing under the CCLP Senior Notes to be due and payable. CCLP is in compliance with all covenants of the CCLP Senior Note Purchase Agreement as of September 30, 2017.

Other Sources and Uses

In addition to the various aforementioned revolving credit facilities and senior notes, we and CCLP fund our respective short-term liquidity requirements from cash generated by our respective operations, leases, and from short-term vendor financing. Should additional capital be required, we believe that we have the ability to raise such capital through the issuance of additional debt or equity.equity securities. However, instability or volatility in the capital markets at the times we need to access capital may affect the cost of capital and the ability to raise capital for an indeterminable length of time.
TETRA's Credit Agreement, as amended, matures in September 2019, and the CCLP Credit Agreement matures in August 2019, TETRA's 11% Senior Note matures in November 2022, and the CCLP Senior Notes mature in August 2022. The replacement of these capital sources at similar or more favorable terms is not certain. If it is necessary to issue additional equity to fund our capital needs, additional dilution to our common stockholders will occur.

Although near-term growth plans have been suspended and are subject to our efforts to conserve cash and rationalize our cost structure during the current period of low oil and natural gas prices, we maintain a long-term growth strategy for our core businesses. CCLP has also temporarily suspended many of its capital expenditure projects. CCLP's long-term growth objectives are funded from cash available under its credit facilities, other borrowings, cash generated from the issuance of common or preferred units, as well as its available cash.

On March 23, 2016,April 11, 2019, we filed a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").SEC. On April 13, 2016,May 1, 2019, the Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC. Pursuant to this registration statement, we have the ability to sell debt or equity securities in one or more public offerings up to an aggregate public offering price of $164.4 million.$464.1 million, inclusive of $64.1 million of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our currently outstanding warrants. This shelf registration statement currently provides us additional flexibility with regard to potential financings that we may undertake when market conditions permit or our financial condition may require.



As part of our long-term strategic growth plans, we evaluate opportunities to acquire businesses and assets that may require the payment of cash. Such acquisitions may be funded with existing cash balances, funds under credit facilities, or cash generated from the issuance of equity or debt securities.
The CCLPSecond Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of CCLP requires that within 45 days after the end of each quarter, itCCLP distribute all of its available cash, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, to its common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, CCLP distributed $26.2$0.5 million in cash, including $14.8$0.3 million to its non-affiliated common unitholders. In April 2017, CCLP announced apublic unitholders, reflecting the reduction to the level of cash distributions to its common unitholders, including us. The amount ofin quarterly distributions is determined based on a variety of factors, including estimates of CCLP's cash needs to fund its operating, investing, and debt services requirements. During the current period of low oil and natural gas pricing, thereannounced previously by CCLP in December 2018. There can be no assurance that the quarterly distributions from CCLP will increase from the current reducedthis amount per unit or that there will not be additional future decreases in the amount of distributions going forward.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

We adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The new lease standard had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, resulting from the inclusion of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note A - "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and Note K - “Leases” for further discussion.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation
 
We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

On March 18, 2011, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit CourtContingencies of Union County, Arkansas, asserting claims of professional negligence, breach of contract and other claims against the engineering firm we hired for engineering design, equipment, procurement, advisory, testing and startup services for our El Dorado, Arkansas chemical production facility. The engineering firm disputed our claims and promptly filed a motion to compel the matter to arbitration. After a lengthy procedural dispute in Arkansas state court, arbitration proceedings were initiated on November 15, 2013. Ultimately, on December 16, 2016, the arbitration panel ruled in our favor, declared us as the prevailing party, and awarded us a total net amount of $12.8 million. We received full payment of the $12.8 million final award on January 5, 2017.Discontinued Operations

From May 2009 to December 2014, EPIC Diving & Marine Services, LLC (“EPIC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was the charterer of a dive support vessel from a service provider. At the time of redelivery of the vessel there was a dispute between EPIC and the service provider that was submitted to arbitration in London pursuant to the dispute resolution provision of the charter agreement. Just prior to the scheduled arbitration proceedings in June 2017, EPIC reached a favorable settlement in relation to certain of the service provider's claims against EPIC. EPIC’s dispute with the service provider that a fee was due at the time of redelivery of the vessel proceeded to arbitration on June 20, 2017. On July 6, 2017, the arbitration panel issued its ruling against EPIC, awarding the service provider $3.0 million, plus interest and fees.
Other Contingencies
During 2011, in connection with the sale of a significant majority of Maritech’sMaritech's oil and gas producing properties, the buyers of the properties assumed the associated decommissioning liabilities pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. For those oil and gas properties Maritech previously operated, the buyers of the properties assumed the financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, including abandonment and decommissioning, and generally became the successor operator. Some buyers of these Maritech properties subsequently sold certain of these properties to other buyers who also assumed these financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, and these buyers also typically became the successor operator of the properties. To the extent that a buyer of these properties fails to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required, thea previous owner, including Maritech, may be required to perform the abandonment and decommissioning obligation. A significant portionAs the former parent company of Maritech, we also may be responsible for performing these abandonment and decommissioning obligations. In March 2018, we closed the decommissioning liabilitiesMaritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that were assumedprovided for the purchase by the


buyersOrinoco of the Maritech propertiesProperties. Also in 2011 remains unperformed andMarch 2018, we believefinalized the amountsMaritech Equity Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of the Maritech Equity Interests. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businesses of our Maritech segment and Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's remaining liabilities are significant. We monitor the financial condition of the buyers of these properties from Maritech,abandonment and if current oil and natural gas pricing levels continue or deteriorate, we expect that one or more of these buyers may be unable to perform the decommissioning work required on the properties acquired from Maritech.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, continued low oil and natural gas prices have resulted in reduced revenues and cash flows for all oil and gas producing companies, including those companies that bought Maritech properties in the past. Certain of these oil and gas producing companies that bought Maritech properties are currently experiencing severe financial difficulties. With regard to certain of these properties, Maritech has security in the form of bonds or cash escrows that are intended to secure the buyers' obligations to perform the decommissioning work. Maritech and its legal counsel continue to monitor the status of these companies. As of September 30, 2017, we do not consider the likelihood of Maritech becoming liable for decommissioning liabilities on sold properties to be probable.obligations.

Amounts exclude other long-term liabilities reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet that do not have known payment streams. These excluded amounts include approximately$0.8 million of liabilities under FASB Codification Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlements. These excluded amounts also include approximately $18.3 million of liabilities related to the CCLP Preferred Units. The CCLP Preferred Units are expected to be serviced with non-cash paid-in-kind distributions, and may be satisfied either through conversions to CCLP common units or redemptions for cash, at CCLP's election. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note F – "CCLP Series A Convertible Preferred Units," for further discussion.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are identifiable by the use of the following words, the negative of such words, and other similar words: “anticipates", "assumes", “believes,” "budgets", “could,” “estimates,” "expects", "forecasts", "goal", "intends", "may", "might", "plans", "predicts", "projects", "schedules", "seeks", "should", "targets", "will", and "would".

Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. For a discussion of our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices, please read “Risk Factors — Certain Business Risks” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.. We depend on U.S. and international demand for and production of oil and natural gas, and a reduction in this demand or production could adversely affect the demand or the prices we charge for our services, which could cause our revenues and operating cash flows to decrease in the future. We do not currently hedge, and do not intend to hedge, our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.

2018 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SwiftWater and operations systems processes and to be consistent withJRGO were both excluded from our financial system environment, our CSI Compressco LP subsidiary ("CCLP") implemented JD Edwards EnterpriseOne financial and operations system software over certainassessment of its financial and operations processes. This implementation was subject to various testing and review procedures prior to execution. We believe the conversion to and implementationeffectiveness of this new system further strengthened our existing internal control over financial reporting by enhancing certainas of December 31, 2018, as disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report in accordance with SEC Staff guidance permitting the exclusion for the year in which an acquisition is completed. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we completed our integration of SwiftWater and the oversight, policies, procedures, and monitoring that support our internal control over financial reporting has been extended to include SwiftWater. We are continuing to integrate JRGO into our internal control over financial reporting processes. In executing this integration, we are analyzing, evaluating, and, where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the JRGO business, processes.which we expect to be completed in fiscal year 2019. We will include both SwiftWater and JRGO in our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Other thanIn connection with the changes described above, thereadoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, we evaluated and updated certain internal controls to facilitate the proper capture and assessment of contractual information required to support proper preparation of financial information upon adoption.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
