Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE A1 – 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. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981. We are composed of 3 divisions – Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, and 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. All intercompany balances 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, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.2020.
We consolidate the financial statements of our CSI Compressco LP and its subsidiaries ("CCLP"subsidiary (“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'sTETRA’s capital structure and CCLP'sCCLP’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"(“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("(“U.S. GAAP"GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019.16, 2020.
Significant Accounting Policies
We have addedOur significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the recording of leases in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease standard discussedyear ended December 31, 2019 included in our "Leases" and "New Accounting Pronouncements" sections below. Other than the additional lease policies described herein, thereAnnual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application thereof during the third quarter of these policies.2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
Reclassifications
Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The impact of such reclassifications was not significant to the prior year’s overall presentation.
Impairments and Other Charges
DuringImpairments of long-lived assets, including identified intangible assets, are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the second quarterdetermination of 2019,the amount of impairment is based on our Compression Division recorded impairmentsjudgment as to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from the relevant assets throughout theirremainingestimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of $2.3 million on certain unitsthe related assets, an impairment is recognized for the excess of its low-horsepower compression fleet, reflecting the decision to dispose of these units upon management's determination that refurbishing this equipment was not economic given limited current and forecasted demand for such equipment. A recoverability analysis was performed on the remaining low-horsepower fleet and it was concluded that the remaining fleet was recoverable from estimated future cash flows. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million for the carrying value over fair value. Fair value of intangible assets is generally determined using the discounted present value of future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks inherent with the specific assets. Assets held for disposal are recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. See Note 3 - “Impairments and Other Charges” for additional discussion of recorded impairments.
Revenue Recognition
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. We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most sales of product 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 such products or services is 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 compressor unit that was written off dueservice contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period.
Product Sales. Product sales revenues are generally recognized when we ship products from our facility to being destroyed by fire.
Goodwill
Ourour customer. The product sales for our Completion Fluids & Products Division consist primarily of clear brine fluids (“CBFs”), additives, and associated manufactured products. Product sales for our Water & Flowback Services Division consistsare 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 2 reporting units, Production Testingdays 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 Management. During& Flowback Services Division are for a period of 90 days or less.
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 third quarter of 2019,cost for freight and shipping costs as part of cost of product sales when control over our internal long-term outlookproducts (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer.
Use of Estimates. In recognizing revenue for eachvariable consideration arrangements, the amount of these reporting units,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 updatedestimate 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 assessmentestimate of the Water Management reporting unit and determinedtotal expected volume of products sold or services to be provided to the customer during the discount period. In certain contracts for the sale of CBFs, 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 current decreased energy industry outlook was an indicator requiring further analysis for impairment of goodwill. As partcondition of the first stepfluids.
Contract Assets and Liabilities.We consider contract assets to be trade accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of goodwill impairment testing fortime is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing, our Water Management reporting unit, the only reporting unit with goodwill as of September 30, 2019, we updated our assessmentinvoicing of the future cash flows, applying expected long-term growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values thatcustomer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we consider reasonable for the reporting unit. We calculated a present value of the cash flows for the Water Management reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Based on these assumptions, we determined that the fair value of the Water Management reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, which includes approximately $25.8 million of goodwill, by approximately 17%. Specific uncertainties affecting the estimated fair value of our Water Management reporting unit includes the impact of competition, prices of oil and natural gas, and future overall activity levels in the regions in which it operates, the activity levels of our significant customers, and other factors affecting the rate of future growth of this reporting unit. These factors will continue to be reviewed and assessed going forward. Negative developments with regard to these factors could have a further negative effect on the fair value of the Water Management reporting unit.
Leases
As 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-usecontract asset onrather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are able to invoice the commencement date. The right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset and the lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments to the lessor over the lease term.
Long-term operating leasescustomer. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and other, and operating lease liabilitiestrade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheetsheets.
We classify contract liabilities as of September 30, 2019. Long-term finance leases are not material.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. New equipment sales orders generally take less than twelve months to build and deliver.
Bill-and-Hold Arrangements. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inceptiondesign and fabricate compressor packages based on our customer’s specifications. In some cases, the customer will request us to hold the equipment, upon completion of the contract. Whereunit, until the job site is ready to receive the equipment. When this occurs, we along with the customer sign a bill-and-hold agreement, which outlines that the customer has title to the equipment, the equipment is ready for delivery, we cannot use the equipment or direct it to another customer, and we have a present right to payment. When those criteria have been met and the agreement is executed, we recognize the revenue on the equipment because control of the equipment has passed to our customer and our performance obligations are complete. Entering into these arrangements is something we have done as a lesseecourtesy for certain customers for many years. The equipment subject to the bill-and-hold agreements has generally been invoiced and paid for through progressive billings such that at the time the bill-and-hold agreement is executed, the majority of the contractual cash obligation of the customer has been received by us.
Operating Costs
Cost of product sales includes direct and indirect costs of manufacturing and producing our products, including raw materials, fuel, utilities, labor, overhead, repairs and maintenance, materials, services, transportation, warehousing, equipment rentals, insurance, and certain taxes. Cost of services includes operating expenses we incur in a contract that includes an option to extend or terminatedelivering our services, including labor, equipment rental, fuel, repair and maintenance, transportation, overhead, insurance, and certain taxes. We include in product sales revenues the lease,reimbursements 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.
As 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 paymentsreceive from customers for short-term leasesshipping and handling costs. Shipping and handling costs are included as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of revenues orproduct sales. Amounts we incur for “out-of-pocket” expenses in the delivery of our services are recorded as cost of services. Reimbursements for “out-of-pocket” expenses we incur in the delivery of our services are recorded as service revenues. Depreciation, amortization, and accretion includes depreciation expense for all of our facilities, equipment and vehicles, amortization expense on our intangible assets, and accretion expense related to our decommissioning and other asset retirement obligations.
We include in general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset. We recognize leaseall costs for variable lease payments not included in the determination of a lease liability in the period in which an obligation is incurred.identifiable to our specific product or service operations, including divisional and general corporate overhead, professional services, corporate office costs, sales and marketing expenses, insurance, and certain taxes.
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 Translation
We have designated the Euro, the British pound, the Norwegian krone, the Canadian dollar, theBrazilian real, and theMexican peso as the functional currencies for our operations in Finland and Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, Brazil,and certain of our operations in Mexico, respectively. The U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency for all of our other foreign operations. The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component of equity. Foreign currency exchange (gains) and losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $(1.7)$(0.8) millionand $(2.2)$(3.2) million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and $(0.1)$(1.7) million and $(0.4)$(2.2) million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
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 values of certain liabilities, including the liabilities for the warrants to purchase 11.2 million shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) and our foreign currency derivative contracts. See Note 9 - “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion.
Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, 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 asset retirement obligations, and for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill (a Level 3 fair value measurement).
New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards adopted in 20192020
In February 2016,August 2018, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"(“ASU”) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" to increase comparability2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize right-of-use lease assetsOther—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for interim 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 usersannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of financial statements to further understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted thethis standard effective January 1, 2019. The standard haddid not have 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 the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented. Comparative information is reported under the 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 was 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“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 on financial instruments not accounted for at fair value through net income. The provisions require credit impairments to be measured over the contractual life of an asset and developed with consideration for past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic information. Credit impairment will be accounted for as an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis at each reporting date. We are continuing to work through our implementation plan which includes evaluating the impact on our
allowance for doubtful accounts methodology, identifying new reporting requirements, and implementing changes to business processes, systems, and controls to support adoption of the standard. Upon adoption, the allowance for doubtful accounts is expected to increase with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. Updates at each reporting date after initial adoption will be recorded through selling, general, and administrative expense. ASU 2016-13 has an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. We continue to assess the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 350)740): Simplifying the TestAccounting for Goodwill Impairment," whichIncome Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwillthe accounting for impairmentincome taxes by eliminating Step 2 fromcertain exceptions related to intraperiod tax allocation, interim period income tax calculation methodology, and the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effectiverecognition of deferred tax liabilities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019,outside basis differences. It also simplifies certain aspects of accounting for franchise taxes 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 August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation coststransactions that results in cloud computing arrangements.a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2018-152019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted.us the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently assessingcontinue to assess the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Entities may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE B2 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
As of September 30, 2020, we had $47.1 million of remaining contractual performance obligations for compression services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than twelve months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Expected revenue to be recognized in the future as of September 30, 2020 for completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows:

For sales of CBFs where we have agreed to issue credits for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids at an agreed price based on the condition of the fluid upon return, we adjust the revenue recognized in the period of shipment by an estimated amount, based on historical experience, of the credit expected to be issued. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of remaining credits expected to be issued for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids was $1.1 million recorded in inventory (right of return asset) and either accounts payable or as a reduction to accounts receivable. There were no material differences between amounts recognized during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to estimates made in a prior period from these variable consideration arrangements.
Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with customer documentation requirements, were $17.2 million and $34.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.
Collections primarily associated with progressive billings to customers for the construction of compression equipment is included in unearned income in the consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the changes in unearned income in our consolidated balance sheets for the periods indicated:

NOTE 3 –IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
During the first nine months of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil and gas prices had a significant impact on our customers and industry. These events led to a significant reduction in the operations of our customers resulting in a decrease in demand in certain of our service lines.
During the first quarter of 2020, we started to see our customers revise their capital budgets downwards and adjust their operations accordingly, which led to a decline in orders for new compression equipment to be fabricated and sold to third parties. We concluded that these events were indicators of impairment for all our asset groups within our Compression Division and certain asset groups within our Completion Fluids & Products Division. We performed recoverability analyses on the relevant asset groups within these divisions. Based upon these recoverability analyses, we determined that the carrying values of our Midland manufacturing facility and related new unit sales inventory in our Compression Division exceeded their respective fair values. Therefore, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million related to these assets. Fair value was estimated based on a market approach.
During the second quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of continued negative impacts on our compression fleet associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and declines in oil and gas prices, our Compression Division recorded impairments and other charges of approximately $9.0 million associated with non-core used compressor equipment that we have held for sale, the low-horsepower class of our compression fleet, and field inventory for compression and related services. During the third quarter of 2020, no further impairments were recorded. Impairment charges are reflected in impairment and other charges in our consolidated statements of operations. Fair value used to determine impairments was estimated based on a market approach. Given the dynamic nature of the events, we are not able to reasonably estimate how long our operations will be adversely impacted and the full impact these events will have on our operations. As a result, we could have indicators of impairment again in future periods resulting in additional asset impairments.

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. These finance leases are not material to our financial statements. 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. During the fourth quarter of 2019, CCLP entered into a lease agreement commitment for 14 compressor packages. The leases are for an initial term of seven years and commenced upon the completion of the equipment fabrication. During the first quarter, CCLP took delivery of eight compressor packages. During the second quarter, CCLP took delivery of the remaining six compressor packages. We have no other lease commitments 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.
For
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 thethree completion of the purchase and nine monthsale 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 endedat base rental rates to be determined at the time of each extension.

At September 30, 2018, the average diluted shares outstanding excludes the impact2020, future minimum rental receipts under a non-cancellable sublease for office space in one 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, forour locations totaled $5.0 million. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units (the "CCLP Preferred Units"), 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 Maritech segments, as discontinued operations and have revised prior period financial statements to exclude these businesses from continuing operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result2020, we recognized sublease income of the bankruptcy filing of Epic Companies, LLC, we recorded a reserve for the full amount of certain other receivables of discontinued operations in the amount of $1.5$0.3 million and for the full amount$0.9 million.

NOTE 8 – 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
In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco"(“Orinoco”) that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech'sMaritech’s remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018,Shortly thereafter, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of the outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the business of our former Maritech segment.
Under the Maritech Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities related to the leases sold to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the decommissioning liabilities associated with the oil and gas properties previously sold by Maritech (the “Legacy Liabilities”), subject to certain limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to satisfy decommissioning liabilities associated with any of the Orinoco Lease Liabilities or the Legacy Liabilities, we may be required to satisfy such liabilities under third party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees that we previously provided to the US Department of the Interior and other parties, respectively.
Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"“Bonding Agreement”), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8$46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech (the “Initial Bonds”) and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the Initial Bonds with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0$47.0 million (collectively, the “Interim Replacement Bonds”). Orinoco further agreed to replace, within 180 days following the closing, the Interim Replacement Bonds with a maximum of three non-revocable performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0$47.0 million,, meeting certain requirements (the “Final Bonds”). Among the other requirements of the Final Bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. In the event Orinoco doesdid not provide the Interim Replacement Bonds or the Final Bonds, Orinoco iswas required to make certain cash escrow payments to us.
The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and neither it nor the Clarkes has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was initially granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which dismissed our present claims against Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement and against the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. We filed an appeal and also asked the trial court to grant a new trial on the summary judgment or to modify the judgment because we believe this judgment should not have been grantedgranted. On November 5, 2019, the trial court signed an order granting our motion for new trial and have begunvacating the process of appealing it.prior order granting summary judgment for Orinoco and the Clarkes. The parties are awaiting direction from the court on a new scheduling order and/or trial setting. The Initial Bonds, which are non-revocable, remain in effect.
If we become liable in the future for any decommissioning liability associated with any property covered by either an Initial Bond or an Interim Replacement Bond while such bonds are outstanding and the payment made to us under such bond is not sufficient to satisfy such liability, the Bonding Agreement provides that Orinoco will pay us an amount equal to such deficiency and if Orinoco fails to pay any such amount, such amount must be paid by the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. However, if the Final Bonds or the full amount of the escrowed cash have been provided, neither Orinoco nor the Clarkes would be liable to pay us for any such deficiency. Our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected if Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or if we become liable for a significant portion of the decommissioning liabilities.
In early 2018, we also closed the sale of our Offshore Division to Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC). Part of the consideration we received was a promissory note of Epic Companies in the original principal amount of $7.5$7.5 million (the(the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the Offshore Division totaling approximately $1.5$1.5 million were payable to us. At the end of August 2019, Epic Companies filed for bankruptcy. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, weWe recorded a reserve of $7.5$7.5 million for the full amount of the promissory note, including accrued interest, and the certain other receivables in the amount of $1.5$1.5 million at during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. We continue to monitor this matterThe Epic Promissory Note became due on December 31, 2019 but neither Epic nor the Clarkes made the required payment. Upon the default by Epic and seek to vigorously pursue our rights to collect all amounts payable to us, includingthe Clarkes, we filed a lawsuit against the Clarkes on January 15, 2020 in Montgomery County, Texas for breach of the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, seeking the amounts oweddue under the Epic Promissory Note when due, including by enforcingand related interest, as well as attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Clarkes each filed an answer and counterclaims for fraud and negligent misrepresentation and seek monetary damages in excess of $1 million, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. After taking discovery from the Clarkes, on August 21, 2020, we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment to recover the principal amount of the note plus interest from the Clarkes and to dismiss their counterclaims. The Court granted the Motion for Summary Judgment and entered Final Judgment in our rights underfavor, thereby dismissing the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement.Clarkes’ counterclaims and awarding TETRA the full amount requested pursuant to an Order dated September 23, 2020. The Court awarded TETRA the full amount of $7,887,454, plus post-judgment interest at the rate of 3.52% per annum. On October 21, 2020, the Clarkes filed a Notice of Appeal. We will defend the Clarkes’ appeal and consider the options available to enforce the Court’s Order.
NOTE I9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Instruments
Warrants
The Warrants are valued using a Black Scholes option valuation model that includes implied volatility of the trading price (a Level 3 fair value measurement).
Derivative Contracts
We and CCLP each enter into short 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, 2020, 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 contracts during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.
The fair values of foreign currency derivative contracts are based on quoted market values (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The fair values of our and CCLP’s foreign currency derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Forward purchase contracts | | Current liabilities | | 0 | | | (3) | |
Net asset | | | | $ | 59 | | | $ | 30 | |
None of our 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $0.2 million and $(0.7) million, respectively,of net (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivative program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $1.0 million and$1.8 million, respectively, of net (gains) losses associated with our foreign currency derivative program. These amounts are reflected in other (income) expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded impairments of approximately $9.0 million, reflecting the decreased fair value for certain assets. The fair values used in these impairment calculations were estimated based on a market approach, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3 - “Impairments and Other Charges” for further discussion.
Recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by valuation hierarchy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are as follows:

The fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings and long-term debt pursuant to TETRA’s ABL Credit Agreement and Term Credit Agreement, and the CCLP Credit Agreement approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of the publicly traded CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were approximately $59.7 million and $266.0 million, respectively. Those fair values compare to the face amount of $80.7 million and $295.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair values of the CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were approximately $360.0 million and $344.8 million, respectively. These fair values compare to aggregate principal amount of such notes at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of $400.0 million and $350.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the CCLP 10.00%/10.75% Second Lien Notes at September 30, 2020 was approximately $115.5 million. This fair value compares to aggregate principal amount of such notes at September 30, 2020 of $155.5 million. We based the fair values of the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes, the CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes, and the CCLP 10.00%/10.75% Second Lien Notes as of September 30, 2020 on recent trades for these notes. See Note 6 - “Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings” for further discussion.
NOTE 10 – SALE OF ASSETS
In April 2020, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the Midland manufacturing facility within our Compression Division. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment of $3.1 million to reduce this asset to its approximate fair market value based on a market approach and expected net proceeds. The impairment charges are reflected in impairment and other charges in our statement of operations.
On July 2, 2020, we completed the previously announced sale of our Midland manufacturing facility for a total sale price of $17.0 million. The Midland facility was used to design, fabricate and assemble new standard and customized compressor packages. The sale of the Midland facility resulted in a gain of $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net in our statement of operations.
Additionally, in the third quarter of 2020, we sold the remaining inventory and equipment related to the fabrication of new compressors within our Compression Division for a gain of $0.5 million, which is reflected in other (income) expense, net in our statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to reduce the carrying value of the new unit sales inventory to its approximate fair market value based on a market approach. The impairment charges are reflected in impairment and other charges in our statement of operations.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, we completed the sale of 58 low-horsepower units to one of our customers for $2.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment of $3.7 million to reduce these assets to their approximate fair market value based on a market approach and expected net proceeds. The impairment charges are reflected in impairment and other charges in our statement of operations.
NOTE 11 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2020 | | 2019 | | 2020 | | 2019 |
| (In Thousands) |
Number of weighted average common shares outstanding | 125,893 | | | 125,568 | | | 125,789 | | | 125,620 | |
Assumed exercise of equity awards and warrants | 0 | | | 0 | | | 0 | | | 0 | |
Average diluted shares outstanding | 125,893 | | | 125,568 | | | 125,789 | | | 125,620 | |
For thethree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, 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 period ended September 30, 2019, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units (the “CCLP Preferred Units”), as the inclusion of the impact from conversion of the CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE J13 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Performance Obligations.Revenue is generally recognized when
In connection with the Midland manufacturing facility sale discussed in Note 10, we transfer control of our products or servicesentered into an agreement with the buyer to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expectcontinue to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers. We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most sales of product 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 such products or services is 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 foroperate a portion of the consideration received becausefacility, which allowed us to close out remaining backlog for the New Unit Sale business and operate our aftermarket services business for an interim period. Following the shipment of the last unit in October, we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication ofare no longer fabricating new compressor packages is typically deferred until controlfor sales to third parties or for our own service fleet. The operations associated with fabricating new compressor packages will be reported as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of 2020.
In July 2020, we received a purchase order to sell $6.7 million of idle large horsepower compressor units to one of our significant customers. During the third quarter of 2020, we received proceeds and recognized $1.7 million relating to this order. In October 2020, we received the remaining $5.0 million of proceeds and started to deliver the compressor package is transferredunits 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.
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.
Servicescustomer. 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.
As of September 30, 2019, we had $69.9 million of remaining contractual performance obligations for compression services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than twelve months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Expected revenue to be recognized in the future for completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows:
|

Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We have electedand will continue 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 forevaluate the sale of CBF,other non-core assets, including our low-horsepower compression fleet. We can provide no assurance that 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 September 30, 2019, the amount of remaining credits expected to be issued for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids was $2.1 million that were recorded in inventory (right of return asset) and accounts payable. There were no material differences between amounts recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, compared to estimates made inwill consummate a prior period from these variable consideration arrangements.
Contract Assets and Liabilities. We consider contract assets to be trade accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing, our invoicing of the customer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we recognize a contract asset rather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are able to invoice the customer. Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with these documentation requirements, were $33.0 million and $44.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Contract assets, along with billed trade 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. New equipment sales orders generally take less than twelve months to build and deliver.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract liabilities for the periods indicated:

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. These finance leases are not material to our financial statements. 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, 20182019 filed with the SEC on March 4, 16, 2020 (“2019 ("2018 Annual Report"”). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Business Overview
We are a geographically diversified oil and gas services company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, comprehensive water management, frac flowback, production well testing and offshore rig cooling services, and compression services and equipment. We operate through three reporting segments organized into three Divisions - Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Compression.
Demand for the products and services of our Completion Fluids & Products Division has remained fairly consistentresilient despite the continued volatility in pricing forsignificant downward pressure on oil prices and ongoing uncertainty in many of the markets wherein which we operate, which affectsoperate. During the plansthird quarter of many2020, lower domestic completion fluids product sales revenues as a result of ourhurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico were offset by strong international sales mainly in the Middle East and Europe. However, continuing low prices for oil and gas operations customers. and further price erosion could adversely affect the demand for our products and services in the future.
Recent oil price volatilitymacroeconomic uncertainty resulting from depressed commodity prices and the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly affected domestic onshore demand for our Water & Flowback Services DivisionDivision. We experienced decreased water management services resulting in increased customer contract pricing pressure. The constructionactivity during the third quarter of infrastructure2020 and without a meaningful recovery, we expect our water management services operations to alleviate current takeaway capacity constraints that are limiting production and new drillingcontinue to be negatively impacted in the Permian Basin has continued to contribute to increased demand for compressor equipment and services through ournear future.
Our Compression Division. This growth in demand continues to drive increases in our compression services revenues, through increased activity and customer contract pricing.
We are aggressively managing our working capital and capital expenditure needs in order to maximize our liquidity in the current environment. In addition, we continue to review our expectations ofDivision is significantly dependent upon the demand for, and production of, oil and the productsassociated natural gas from unconventional oil and servicesnatural gas production in the domestic and international markets in which we provideoperate. During the third quarter of 2020, macroeconomic uncertainty in eachthe oil and natural gas industry continued to drive steep declines in spending by the oil and gas operators but as oil prices stabilized around $40, the pace of horsepower being released slowed in comparison to the second quarter. In addition, the unprecedented drop in U.S. land oil and natural gas activity in the second quarter led to some of our customers temporarily shutting in wells and compression was placed on standby. Customers continued bringing production back online throughout the third quarter and we ended the third quarter with approximately 8% of our US domestic fleet on standby as compared to 15% in the second quarter.
During the first nine months of 2020, we saw our customers revise their capital budgets substantially downward and adjust their operations accordingly, which we believe will continue for an indefinite period. Given the decline in orders for new compression equipment to be fabricated and sold to third parties, in early April 2020, we announced our plan to shut down our Midland manufacturing facility. On July 2, 2020, we completed the previously announced sale of our Midland manufacturing facility for a total sale price of $17.0 million. We continued to operate the facility until the completion and sale of our remaining backlog, which was completed in October 2020. Following the completion of the markets wherebacklog, we operate.are no longer fabricating new compressor packages for sales to third parties or for our own service fleet.
During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that the impact on our customers and industry from the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil prices were indicators of impairment for all asset groups within our Compression Division and certain asset groups in our Completion Fluids & Products Division. As a result, we performed a recoverability analysis on all our long-lived asset groups and we determined that the carrying values of our Midland manufacturing facility and related new unit sales inventory exceeded their respective fair values.
Therefore, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2020 related to these assets. During the second quarter of 2020, as a result of continued negative impacts on our compression fleet associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and declines in oil and gas prices, we recorded impairments and other charges of approximately $9.0 million in our Compression Division associated with non-core used compressor equipment that we have held for sale, the low-horsepower class of our compression fleet, and field inventory for compression and related services. During the third quarter of 2020, no further impairments were recorded. Given the dynamic nature of the events, we are not able to reasonably estimate how long our operations will be impacted and the full impact these events will have on our operations. As a result, we could have indicators of impairment again in future periods resulting in additional asset impairments. We intendhave and will continue to manageevaluate the sale of non-core assets, including our low-horsepower compression fleet. We can provide no assurance that we will consummate a future sale of our low-horsepower compression fleet or any other non-core asset.
We actively managed our flexible cost structure as a proactive response to proactively respond tothe changing market conditions throughout the second and execute onthird quarters while taking necessary actions necessary to manage through these conditions, some of which could result in impairments or restructuring charges in future periods. Temporary and permanent cost reductions we have implemented include reductions in 2020 capital expenditures, workforce reductions, salary reductions, the suspension of 401(k) matching contributions for our employees, targeted reduction in SG&A expenses, and negotiated reductions in expenditures with many of our suppliers. While we are not able to predict how long market disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue, or what impact it will ultimately have on our business, we have seen activity levels stabilizing at the end of the third quarter. Despite challenging market conditions, we will continue to maintain our commitment to safety and service quality for our customers.
How we Evaluate Operations
We use U.S. GAAP financial measures such as revenues, gross profit, income (loss) before taxes, and net cash provided by operating activities, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as performance measures for our business.
Adjusted EBITDA.We view Adjusted EBITDA as one of our primary management tools, and we trackiton a monthly basis, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues(typically compared to the prior month,prior yearperiod,and to budget). We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments and certain other non-cash charges and non-recurring adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to:
•evaluate the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis; and
•determine our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash provided by operating activities,or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure may not be comparable to similarly titled financial metrics of other companies, as other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner aswe do. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures,and incorporating this knowledge into management’s decision-making processes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 20182019 Annual Report. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. 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 during the current year quarter decreased compared to the prior year quarter due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated decline in oil and gas prices resulting in decreases in product salesdemand and activity. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.
Consolidated gross profit during the current year quarter increaseddecreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increaseddecreased gross profit from our Completion Fluids & Products and Compression Divisions. This increase was partially offset, however, by the lower gross profit of our Water & Flowback Services Division. Despite efforts to reduce operating costs whenever possible, the impact of pricing pressures hampered profitability in certain markets.and Compression Divisions.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased provision for bad debt of $1.3 million, offset by decreased salary and employee expenses of $0.6 million, decreased professional services fees of $0.1 million, and decreased insurance and other general expenses of $0.2 million.
Consolidated interest expense, net, decreased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to decreased Compression Division interestsalary and employee expenses of $5.9 million, decreased provision for bad debt expense partially offset by increased Corporate interest expense. Compression Division interest expense decreased due to the completion of the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding on August 8, 2019. Corporate interest expense increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement during the current year period. Interest expense during the current and prior year quarters includes $1.0$2.0 million, and $1.1 million, respectively,decreased professional services fees of finance cost amortization.$1.3 million.
Consolidated other (income) expense,income, net, was $0.7$2.1 million of other income during the current year quarter compared to $0.6$0.7 million of other expenseincome during the prior year quarterquarter. The increase in other income was primarily due to $0.9an increase of $1.5 million of decreased loan fees associated with new TETRA credit agreementsin gains in the priorcurrent year quarterperiod mainly from the sale of the Midland facility and $1.3 milliona decrease of decreased foreign currency losses, offset by increased expense of $0.4$0.5 million associated with a redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash in the prior year quarter. These increases in income were partially offset by an increase in foreign currency losses of $1.8 million in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the three month period ended September 30, 20192020 is 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, 20192020 of negative 21.1%3.1% 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.

Consolidated revenuesfor the current year period decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased revenues in our Water & Flowback Services and Compression Divisions, which decreased by $120.9 millionand$87.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated decline in oil prices. The decrease in revenues for the Water & Flowback Services Division was primarily due to decreased water management services activity. The decreased revenues of the Compression Division were primarily due to lower new unit sales as we progress the shut down of our Midland manufacturing facility. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.
Consolidated gross profit decreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the decreased profitability of our Water & Flowback Services and Compression Divisions. This decreased gross profit was partially offset by increased gross profit of our Completion Fluids & Products Division. While offshore activity levels for our Completion Fluids & Products Division increased from the prior year period, onshore activity levels decreased, particularly during the second and third quarters. The impact of pricing pressures in addition to reduced levels of onshore activity continues to challenge profitability in the current markets. Operating expenses reflect the decrease in consolidated revenues, as well as aggressive management of operating costs and headcount.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased during the current year periodcompared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased salary related expenses of $15.2 million, decreased general expenses of $1.6 million and decreased professional services fees of $1.3 million. These decreases were partly offset by increased bad debt expense of $2.8 million. Decreased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Corporate Division. Most of the decrease of our general and administrative expenses stemmed from our restructuring efforts and headcount reductions in response to the decline in activity levels, particularly in our U.S. onshore operations. General and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues increased compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated interest expense, net, decreased in the current year period primarily due to a decrease in Corporate and Compression Division interest expense. Corporate interest expense decreased due to lower borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement. Compression Division interest expense decreased due to interest associated with the expense of CCLP Series A Preferred units that was incurred in the prior year period. Interest expense during the current year period and the prior year period includes $3.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.
The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with 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 increases (or decreases) 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 were eligible to be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units was classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units were convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units generally increased or decreased with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value was charged (credited) to earnings, as appropriate. The last remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.
Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $2.1 million of expense during the current year period compared to $1.0 million of income during the prior year period. The increase in expense is primarily due to $4.8 million of fees associated with the CCLP unsecured debt exchange transaction and $3.0 million of increased foreign currency losses due to the devaluation of the Mexican peso. These increases in expense were partially offset by gains associated with the sale of the Midland facility and lower expenses related to the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash in the prior year quarter.
Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the current year period is 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, 2020 of negative 5.8% 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 decrease in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to $2.6 million of decreased product sales revenue due to decreased CBF product and manufactured product sales. Additionally, service revenues decreased $1.1 milliondue to reduced activity in engineering and filtration services compared to the prior year quarter.
Completion Fluids & Products Division gross profit during the current year quarter increased compared to the prior year quarter despite decreased revenues primarily due to higher margins on sales of manufactured products as well as increased profitability associated with higher margin CBF products during the current year quarter when compared to the prior year quarter. Completion Fluids & Products Division profitability in future periods will continue to be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptune(R) completion fluid projects. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, which is also reflected by increased compression fleet utilization rates.
Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to improved customer contract pricing, labor efficiencies, reduced maintenance costs, and improved inventory management.
The Compression Division recorded a decreased pretax loss during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the conversion and redemption of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million mainly associated with the bankruptcy of a single customer, partially offset by decreased employee expenses of $0.9 million. The CCLP Preferred Units fair value adjustment resulted in a $0.5 million charge to earnings in the prior year period with no corresponding impact in the current year quarter, as the last remaining outstanding Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019. Other (income) expense, net, reflected increased income primarily due to increased foreign currency gains of $0.5 million offset by $0.4 million of redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of the CCLP Preferred Units for cash.

Consolidated revenuesfor the current year period increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased Compression Division and Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues, which increased by $52.5 millionand $8.0 million, respectively. The increased revenues of the Compression Division were primarily due to increased new compressor equipment sales activity. The increase in revenues for the Completion Fluids & Products Division was primarily due to increased international product sales. 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 the increased profitability 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 challenging customer pricing in competitive markets compared to the prior year period. Despite the improvement in activity levels of certain of our businesses, onshore and offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge profitability in certain markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and minimizing increased headcount, despite the increased operations.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year periodcompared to the prior year period primarily due to increased salary related expenses of $6.0 million, inclusive of executive transition costs of $1.8 million, and increased bad debt expense of $1.9 million, offset by decreased consulting and other expenses of $0.8 million and decreased professional services fees of $0.4 million. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Corporate Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated interest expense, net, increased in the current year period primarily due to Corporate and Compression Division interest expense. Corporate interest expense increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement in the current period. Compression Division interest expense increased due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates compared to the prior year period. Interest expense during the current year period and the prior year period includes $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.
Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $1.0 million of income during the current year period compared to $7.2 million of expense during the prior year period. The decrease in expense is primarily due to $4.5 million of decreased expense associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for the SwiftWater acquisition, $3.5 million decreased expense related to the unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings during the prior year period as a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility, and $1.0 million of decreased loan fees associated with new TETRA credit agreements that were issued in the prior year. These decreases were offset by increased expense of $1.5 million associated with a redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash and increased foreign currency losses.
Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the current year period is 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, 2019 of negative 18.8% 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.

Water & Flowback Services Division service and product revenues increased slightlydecreased$120.9 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to increaseddecreased water management services activity. Water managementactivity associated with significantly lower customer drilling and flowback services revenues increased $2.1 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from the impact of a full nine months of revenues from SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018, and the impact of the December 2018 acquisition of JRGO. Product sales revenue decreased by $0.8 million, due to decreased international equipment salescompletion activity.
The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected decreaseda gross profitloss during the current year period compared to a gross profit during the prior year period despite increased revenues,partly 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 period had a meaningful impact on profitability. In addition, we reflected decreasedlower revenues and profit frompartly due to certain high-margin projects performed during the prior year period. 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.year.
The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreaseda pretax loss compared to a pretax income compared toin the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in gross profitloss described above. General and administrative expenses increaseddecreased primarily due to increased bad debt expense of $0.5 million, increaseddecreased wage and benefit related expenses of $0.4$5.8 million and increaseddecreased general expenses of $0.2$1.1 million, partially offset by decreased professional feesincreased bad debt expense of $0.3$1.0 million. The Water & Flowback Services Division reported other income, net, during the current year period compared to other expense during the prior year period primarily due to $0.8 million of current year period income associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater compared to a corresponding $3.7 million expense during the prior year period.

Compression Division revenues increaseddecreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to a $32.0 million increase in product sales revenues and a $20.6 million increase in service revenues from compression and aftermarket services operations. Demand for new compressor equipment remains strong, although the current equipment sales backlog has decreased compared to the prior year period, due to significant sales orders recorded in the prior year period. Changes in our new equipment sales backlog are a function of additional customer orders less completed orders that result in equipment sales revenues. The increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compression fleet utilization rates. Overall utilization of the Compression Division's compression fleet has improved sequentially for the past two year period, led by increased utilization of the high- and medium-horsepower fleet.
Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year due to increased revenues discussed above. This increase was despite a $3.3 million charge for the impairment and other charges on certain low-horsepower compressor equipment and associated inventory and damage caused by fire to a certain compressor package during the current year period. The increased compression fleet utilization rates have led to increases in customer contract pricing.
The Compression Division recorded less pretax loss in the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increasedCOVID-19 pandemic’s impact on demand for oil and natural gas and the resulting decline in oil prices that led to a significant decrease in customer activity. Product sales revenues decreased$69.6 million due to a decrease in deliveries of new compressors compared to the prior year due to the shut down of our Midland manufacturing facility and exit of the new equipment sales business. Service revenues decreased $17.9 million from compression and aftermarket services operations. The decrease in service revenues was primarily due to reduction in customer activity resulting in a decrease in demand for compression services. In addition, returned compressors, compressors placed on standby rates, and pricing concessions also resulted in decreased revenues.
Compression Division gross profit decreased during the current year period compared to the prior year due to decreased revenues discussed above. Interest expenseabove and the impairments and other charges of $14.3 million primarily on our Midland manufacturing facility and related assets, non-core used compressor equipment that we have held for sale, the low-horsepower class of our compression fleet, and field inventory for compression and related services.
The Compression Division recorded increased pretax loss in the current year period compared to the prior year period due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, a portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay the balance outstanding under the previous CCLP bank credit facility.decreased gross profit discussed above. General and administrative expense levels increaseddecreased compared to the prior year period due to increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million andincreaseddecreased salary and employee-related expenses, including the impact of increaseddecreased headcount, incentives and equity compensation of $1.3$2.2 million and decreased bad debt expense of $1.1 million. Other (income) expense, net increased professional services of $0.9 million. These increases were offset by decreased general expenses of $0.2 million. In addition, otherto $3.4 million expense decreased $2.7 millionin the current year period compared to the prior year period. This decreaseThe increase in expense is primarily due to $3.5$4.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs charged to other expense as a resultfees associated with the exchange of the terminationdebt and $1.5 million of the previous credit agreement in the prior year period and decreasedincreased foreign currency losses due to the devaluation of $0.6 million.the Mexican peso. These decreasesincreases in expense were offset by increaseddecreased expense of $1.5$1.6 million ofprimarily associated with the redemption premium incurred during the prior year period in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash.cash and an increase of $1.2 million in gains in the current year period primarily from the sale of the Midland facility and the remaining inventory and equipment related to the fabrication of new compressors. The last remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.

Corporate Overhead pretax loss increaseddecreased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased interest expense resulting from increased borrowings.decreased general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expense increaseddecreased primarily due to increaseddecreased salary related expense of $4.4$8.9 million, which included $1.8 million of executive transition costs. This increase was offset by $1.7 million of decreased professional fees, $0.5$0.9 million of decreased general expenses and $0.6$0.5 million of decreased consultingprofessional fees. Interest expense decreased due to lower borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement. The fair value of the outstanding Warrants liability resulted in a $1.0$0.3 million credit to earnings in the current year period compared to an $22,000 chargea $1.0 million credit to earnings during the prior year period. In addition, other income of $0.1 million was recorded during the current year period, compared to $1.7 million of expense during the prior year period primarily associated with debt issuance fees related to the new ABL Credit Agreement and the new Term Credit Agreement entered into in the prior year period and foreign currency losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that theour and CCLP’s separate capital structure steps we have taken during the past three years continue to support our abilitystructures allow us to meet our respective financial obligations, and fund future growth as needed, despite current uncertain operating conditions and financial markets. As of September 30, 2019,2020, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective debt agreements. Information about the terms and covenants of our debt agreements can be found in our 20182019 Annual Report. and in Note 6 Long Term Debt and Other Borrowings.
Because of the level of consolidated debt, weWe believe it is important to consider our capital structure and CCLP's capital structurethat of CCLP separately asbecause there are no cross default provisions cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP'sCCLP’s debt and TETRA'sTETRA’s debt. Our consolidated debt outstanding has a carrying value of approximately $858.3$843.2 million as of September 30, 2019.2020. However, approximately $645.6$636.9 million of this consolidated debt balance is owed by CCLP and is serviced from the existing cash balances and cash flows of CCLP, and $354.5$557.1 million of which is secured by certain of CCLP'sCCLP’s assets. Through our common unit ownership interest in CCLP, which was approximately 34% as of September 30, 2019,2020, and ownership of an approximate 1.4% general partner interest, we receive our share of the distributable cash flows of CCLP through its quarterly cash distributions. Approximately $15.3$16.7 million of the $35.9$75.2 million of the cash balance reflected on our consolidated balance sheet is owned by CCLP and is not accessible by us. The following table provides condensed consolidating balance sheet information reflecting TETRA'sTETRA’s net assets and CCLP'sCCLP’s net assets that service and secure TETRA'sTETRA’s and CCLP'sCCLP’s respective capital structures.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base requirements, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings, we had $41.6$25.8 million of availability under the ABL Credit Agreement. The amounts we may borrow under the ABL Credit Agreement are derived from our accounts receivable and certain inventory. Decreases in the amount of our accounts receivable and the value of our inventory would result in reduced borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2019,2020, and subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base requirements, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement, CCLP had availability of $7.8$14.5 million. See CCLP Financing Activities below for further discussion.

Operating Activities
Consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by $83.3 million.$18.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2019. CCLP generated $67.8$13.7 million of our consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to $6.5$67.5 million during the corresponding prior year period. Operating cash flows increaseddecreased primarily due to improved operating profitabilitya decrease in revenue and due tothe effect of working capital management,movements, particularly related to thecollections of accounts receivable, management of inventory levels collections of accounts receivable, and the timing of payments of accounts payable. During the period, TETRA increased cash generation which offset CCLP’s decreased cash generation. We continue to monitor customer credit risk in the current environment and focus on serving larger capitalized oil and gas operators and national oil companies.
Investing Activities
Total cash capital expenditures during the first nine months of 20192020 were $89.2 million.$22.0 million, which is net of $7.2 million cost of compressors sold, as we adjusted to current market conditions. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division spent $5.2$2.7 million on capital expenditures, the majority of which related to plant and facility additions. Our Water & Flowback Services Division spent $22.4$7.8 million on capital expenditures, primarily to add tomaintain, automate and
upgrade its water management and flowback equipment fleet. Our Compression Division spent $61.3$10.8 million primarily for growth capital expenditure projects to increasemaintain its compression fleet.
Generally,Historically, a significant majority of our planned capital expenditures has been related to identified opportunities to grow and expand certain of our existing businesses. However, certain of these plannedsuch expenditures have recently been,
and may continue to be, postponed or canceled as we are reviewing all capital expenditure plans carefully in an effort to conserve cash. We currently have no long-term capital expenditure commitments. The deferral of capital projects could affect our ability to expand our operations in the future. Excluding our Compression Division, we expect to spend approximately $25.0$12.0 million to $30.0$15.0 million during 20192020 on capital expenditures, primarily to expand and maintain our Water & Flowback Services Division equipment fleet.
Our Compression Division expectshas adjusted its expected capital spend downward to spend approximately $80.0$31.0 million to $85.0$34.0 million on capital expenditures during 20192020 primarily to expandmaintain its compression fleet in response to increased demand for compression services. Our Compression Division, through the separate capital structure of CCLP, expects to fund 2019 growth capital expenditures for new compression services equipment through CCLP available cash, operating cash flows, and up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment that is being purchased by us, and leased to CCLP. Approximately $14.6 million of the $15.0 million has been funded as of September 30, 2019.fleet.
If the forecasted demand for our products and services increases or decreases, the amount of planned expenditures on growth and expansion may be adjusted.
Financing Activities
During the first nine months of 2019,2020, the total amount of consolidated cash provided byused in financing activities was $11.5$9.8 million consisting primarily of borrowingsdue to repayments under our ABL Credit Agreement and our Term Credit Agreement.cash fees paid for the exchange of debt. We and CCLP may supplement our existing cash balances and cash flow from operating activities with short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, issuances of equity and debt securities, and other sources of capital. CCLP expects to meet its growth capital expenditure requirements during the remainder of 2019 without having to access additional available borrowings under its credit agreement (the "CCLP Credit Agreement") and without having to access the current debt and equity markets. CCLP may also seek to expand its compression fleet through finance or operating leases with third parties. We and CCLP are aggressively managing our working capital and capital expenditure needs in order to maximize our liquidity in the current environment.
TETRA Long-Term Debt
Asset-Based Credit Agreement. The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of TETRA’s and any other borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable, and contains within the facilityincludes a letter of credit sublimit of $20.0 million for letters of credit and a swingline loan sublimit of $10.0 million. The amounts we may borrow under the ABL Credit Agreement are derived from our accounts receivable and certain inventory. Changes in demand for our products and services have an impact on our eligible accounts receivable, which could result in significant changes to our borrowing base and therefore our availability under our ABL Credit Agreement. With the current depressed oil and gas market conditions, we believe our availability under our ABL Credit facility will be adversely impacted by the expected decline in our customers’ activity levels. The ABL Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2023. As of November 6, 2019,2, 2020, we have $27.0$0.1 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Agreement and $6.8$6.6 million letters of credit, resulting in $30.0$22.8 million of availability.
Term Credit Agreement. The Term Credit Agreement provides for an initial loan in the amount of $200 million and the availability of additional loans, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $75 million. The Term Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2025. As of November 6, 2019,2, 2020, $220.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Term Credit Agreement is outstanding.
CCLP Financing Activities
CCLP Series A Preferred Units. In January 2019, CCLP began redeeming the remaining CCLPits Series A Preferred Units for cash, resulting in 2,660,569 Series A Preferred Units being redeemed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for an aggregate of $31.9 million, which includes approximately $1.5 million of redemption premiumpremiums that waswere paid. The last redemption of the remaining outstanding CCLPSeries A Preferred Units, along with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid-in-kind Preferred Unitsunits, occurred on August 8, 2019.
CCLP Bank Credit FacilitiesFacility. The CCLPCCLP’s revolving credit facility ( the “CCLP Credit Agreement, as amended, includesAgreement”) provides for a maximum credit commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit (with$35,000,000 and includes a sublimit of $25.0 million) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $5.0 million), subject$5,000,000 reserve with respect to athe borrowing base which would result in reduced borrowing availability. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 CCLP charged $0.2 million of financing fees to be determined by reference to the valueother (income) expense, net in our consolidated statement of CCLP’s and any other borrowers’ accounts receivable and the value of certain CCLP inventory. Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CCLP Credit Agreement.operations.

Other Sources and Uses
In addition to the various aforementioned credit facilities, and senior notes, we and CCLP fund our respective short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash generated by our respective operations and from short-term vendor financing. Should additional capital be required, the ability to raise such capital through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities may currently be limited. Instability or volatility in the capital markets at the times we need to access capital may also affect the cost of capital and the ability to raise capital for an indeterminable length of time. If it is necessary to issue additional equity to fund our capital needs, additional dilution toof our common stockholders will occur.
On April 11, 2019, we filed a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 with We periodically evaluate engaging in strategic transactions and may consider divesting non-core assets where our evaluation suggests such transaction is in the SEC. On 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 $464.1 million, inclusive of $64.1 millionbest interest of our common stock issuable upon conversionbusiness. In challenging economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures by customers to pay our invoices. Given the nature and significance of the pandemic and disruption in the oil and gas industry, we could experience delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount 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 orreceivables, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition may require.liquidity.An increase of unpaid receivable would also negatively affect our borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement.
The Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of CCLP requires that within 45 days after the end of each quarter, CCLP 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, CCLP distributed $1.4 million in cash, including $0.9 million to its public unitholders, reflecting the reduction inunitholders. The amount of quarterly distributions announced previously by CCLP in December 2018.is determined based on a variety of factors, including estimates of CCLP’s cash needs to fund its future operating, investing, and debt service requirements. There can be no assurance that quarterly distributions from CCLP will increase from this amount per unit going forward.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019,2020, 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
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
In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco"(“Orinoco”) that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech'sMaritech’s remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018,Shortly thereafter, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of the outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the business of our former Maritech segment.
Under the Maritech Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities related to the leases sold to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the decommissioning liabilities associated with the oil and gas properties previously sold by Maritech (the “Legacy Liabilities”), subject to certain limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to satisfy decommissioning liabilities associated with any of the Orinoco Lease Liabilities or the Legacy Liabilities, we may be required to satisfy such liabilities under third party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees that we previously provided to the US Department of the Interior and other parties, respectively.
Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"“Bonding Agreement”), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8$46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech (the “Initial Bonds”) and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the Initial Bonds with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0$47.0 million (collectively, the “Interim Replacement Bonds”). Orinoco further agreed to replace, within 180 days following the closing, the Interim Replacement Bonds with a maximum of three non-revocable performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0$47.0 million,, meeting certain requirements (the “Final Bonds”). Among the other requirements of the Final Bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. In the event Orinoco doesdid not provide the Interim Replacement Bonds or the Final Bonds, Orinoco iswas required to make certain cash escrow payments to us.
The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and neither it nor the Clarkes has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was initially granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which dismissed our present claims against Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement and against the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. We filed an appeal and also asked the trial court to grant a new trial on the summary judgment or to modify the judgment because we believe this judgment should not have been grantedgranted. On November 5, 2019, the trial court signed an order granting our motion for new trial and have begunvacating the process of appealing it.prior order granting summary judgment for Orinoco and the Clarkes. The parties are awaiting direction from the court on a new scheduling order and/or trial setting. The Initial Bonds, which are non-revocable, remain in effect.
If we become liable in the future for any decommissioning liability associated with any property covered by either an Initial Bond or an Interim Replacement Bond while such bonds are outstanding and the payment made to us under such bond is not sufficient to satisfy such liability, the Bonding Agreement provides that Orinoco will pay us an amount equal to such deficiency and if Orinoco fails to pay any such amount, such amount must be paid by the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. However, if the Final Bonds or the full amount of the escrowed cash have been provided, neither Orinoco nor the Clarkes would be liable to pay us for any such deficiency. Our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected if Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or if we become liable for a significant portion of the decommissioning liabilities.
In early 2018, we also closed the sale of our Offshore Division to Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC). Part of the consideration we received was a promissory note of Epic Companies in the original principal amount of $7.5$7.5 million (the(the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the Offshore Division totaling approximately $1.5$1.5 million were payable to us. At the end of August 2019, Epic Companies filed for bankruptcy. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, weWe recorded a reserve of $7.5$7.5 million for the full amount of the promissory note, including accrued interest, and the certain other receivables in
the amount of $1.5$1.5 million at during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. We continue to monitor this matterThe Epic Promissory Note became due on December 31, 2019 but neither Epic nor the Clarkes made the required payment. Upon the default by Epic and seek to vigorously pursue our rights to collect all amounts payable to us, includingthe Clarkes, we filed a lawsuit against the Clarkes on January 15, 2020 in Montgomery County, Texas for breach of the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, seeking the amounts oweddue under the Epic Promissory Note when due, including by enforcingand related interest, as well as attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Clarkes each filed an answer and counterclaims for fraud and negligent misrepresentation and seek monetary damages in excess of $1 million, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. After taking discovery from the Clarkes, on August 21, 2020, we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment to recover the principal amount of the note plus interest from the Clarkes and to dismiss their counterclaims. The Court granted the Motion for Summary Judgment and entered Final Judgment in our rights underfavor, thereby dismissing the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement.Clarkes’ counterclaims and awarding TETRA the full amount requested pursuant to an Order dated September 23, 2020. The Court awarded TETRA the full amount of $7,887,454, plus post-judgment interest at the rate of 3.52% per annum. On October 21, 2020, the Clarkes filed a Notice of Appeal. We will defend the Clarkes’ appeal and consider the options available to enforce the Court’s Order.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
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 amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
Environmental Proceedings
One of our subsidiaries, TETRA Micronutrients, Inc. ("TMI"), previously owned and operated a production facility located in Fairbury, Nebraska. TMI is subject to an Administrative Order on Consent issued to American Microtrace, Inc. (n/k/a/ TETRA Micronutrients, Inc.) in the proceeding styledIn the Matter of American Microtrace Corporation, EPA I.D. No. NED00610550, Respondent, Docket No. VII-98-H-0016, dated September 25, 1998 (the "Consent Order"), with regard to the Fairbury facility. TMI is liable for ongoing environmental monitoring at the Fairbury facility under the Consent Order; however, the current owner of the Fairbury facility is responsible for costs associated with the closure of that facility.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The statements in this section describe the known material risks to our business and should be considered carefully. We have described in the 20182019 Annual Report significant risk factors and periodically update those risks for material developments. Provided below is an update to our risk factors as previously disclosed in the 20182019 Annual Report.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, or may in the future have, continuing exposure to decommissioning liabilities associated withcertain negative impacts on our business, and such impacts have had, or may in the future have, an adverse effect on our business, our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic impact have had a significant negative impact on the oil and gas properties previously ownedindustry. The deterioration in demand for oil caused by Maritech.the pandemic, coupled with oil oversupply, has had, and is reasonably likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the demand for our products and services. The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures that have been taken or that may be taken in the future by governments, various regulatory agencies, our customers and our suppliers, have had, or may in the future have, certain negative impacts on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity, including, without limitation, the following:
From 2001•demand for our products and services is declining as our customers continue to 2012, Maritech sold variousadjust their operations in response to lower oil and gas producing properties in numerous transactionsprices;
•actions undertaken by national, state and local governments and health officials to different buyers.contain COVID-19 or treat its effects. In connection with those sales, the buyers generally assumed the decommissioning liabilities associated with the properties sold (the "Legacy Liabilities") and generally became the successor operator. In some cases, Maritech retained certain liabilities and we provided guaranties of Maritech’s retained liabilities. Some buyers of these Maritech properties subsequently sold certain of these propertiesresponse to other buyers, who also assumed the financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, including decommissioning liabilities, 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 decommissioning work required, a previous owner, including Maritech, may be required to perform operations to satisfy the decommissioning liabilities. As a result of the third-party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantiesvarious governmental directives, at points we have previously providedrequired most office-based employees, including most employees based at our headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas, to the US Department of the Interiorwork remotely. We may experience reductions in productivity and to other private third-parties as the former parent company of Maritech, we may be responsible for satisfying these decommissioning obligations if they are not satisfied by the current owners and operators of the properties or by Maritech. Significant decommissioning liabilities that were assumed by the buyers of the Maritech properties in these previous sales remain unperformed. If oil and natural gas pricing levels continue to be depressed or further deteriorate, one or more of these buyers may be unable to perform the decommissioning work required on a property previously owned by Maritech. If these buyers, or any successor owners of the Maritech properties, are unable to satisfy and extinguish their decommissioning liabilities due to bankruptcy or other liquidity issues, the US Department of the Interior may seek to impose those decommissioning obligations on Maritech and on us duedisruptions to our third party
indemnity agreements, and contractual commitments and guaranties issued from time to time by us to the US Department of the Interior and various third parties. The amount of cash necessary to satisfy these obligations could be significant and could adversely affect our business results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In March 2018, pursuant to a series of transactions, Maritech sold the remaining offshore leases held by Maritech to Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") and, immediately thereafter, we sold all equity interest in Maritech to Orinoco. The assignments for six of the offshore leases conveyed to Orinoco have not been approved by the US Department of the Interior and Maritech remains an owner of record for these leases. Maritech also remains a recognized operator of a portion of four other offshore properties. Under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's decommissioning liabilities related to the leases conveyed to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the Legacy Liabilities, subject to limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement executed in connection with such purchase agreements, Orinoco provided non-revocable bonds in the aggregate amount of approximately $46.8 million to secure the performance of certain of Maritech’s decommissioning obligations related to the Orinoco Lease Liabilities and certain of Maritech’s remaining current decommissioning obligations (not including the Legacy Liabilities). Orinoco was required to replace, within 90 days and then 180 following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain additional requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million or make cash escrow payments. Among the other requirements of the final replacement bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement are guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and neither it nor the Clarkes has made any of the escrow payments required pursuant to the terms of the Bonding Agreement. We filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which has the effect of dismissing our present claims for the replacement bonds and the escrow payments provided for in the Bonding Agreement. We believe this judgment should not have been granted and we have begun the process of appealing it. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closingroutines while work-from-home arrangements remain in effect.place;
If•We could encounter logistical complications and increased costs adapting our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting in a changing environment that includes work-from-home arrangements and furloughs. In the future we become liable for decommissioning liabilities associated with any property covered by either an initial bondmay encounter operational challenges or stage 1 permanent bond,disruptions stemming from the Bonding Agreement providespandemic that if we call anyrequire us to implement new or enhanced internal controls to mitigate the risks of the initial bondsoperating in a remote environment or the stage 1 permanent bonds to satisfy such liability and the amountincreased risks of the bond payment is not sufficient to pay for such liability, Orinoco will pay us for the additional amount required. To the extent Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or we become liable for a significant portion of the Legacy Liabilities, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.
Possible changes in the US Department of Interior's supplemental bonding and financial assurance requirements may increase our risks associated with the decommissioning obligations pertaining to oil and gas properties previously owned by Maritech.
Recent and additional anticipatedmaterial misstatements resulting from changes to the supplemental bondingbusiness and financial assurance program managed by the US Department of the Interior could require all oilother uncertainties;
•restrictions on importing and gas ownersexporting products;
•impacts related to late customer payments and operatorscontractual defaults associated with infrastructurecustomer and supplier bankruptcies;
•potentially higher borrowing costs in the Gulf of Mexicofuture;
•cybersecurity issues, as our network may become more vulnerable to provide additional supplemental bonds or other acceptable financial assurance for decommissioning liabilities. These changes have the potentialcyberattacks due to adversely impact the financial condition of lease owners and operators in the Gulf of Mexico and increase the number of such owners and operators seeking bankruptcy protection, given current oil and gas prices. In July 2016, the US Department of the Interior issued a Noticeincreased remote access associated with work-from-home arrangements;
•our ability to Lessees and Operators (“2016 NTL”) that strengthened requirements for the posting of additional financial assurance by offshore lease owners and operators to assure that sufficient security is available to satisfy and extinguish decommissioning obligations with respect to offshore wells, platforms, pipelines and other facilities. The 2016 NTL, which became effective in September 2016, eliminated the past practice of waiving supplemental bonding requirements where lease owners or operators, or their guarantors, could demonstrate a certain level of financial strength. Instead, under the 2016 NTL, the US Department of the Interior will allow lease owners and operators to "self-insure," but only up to 10% of their "tangibleuse our net worth," which is defined as the difference between a company’s total assets and the value of all liabilities and intangible assets. It is unclear how this self-insurance allowance relates to lease owners or operators with a guarantor presently in place. In addition, the 2016 NTL is being held in abeyance by the US Department of the Interior, which creates additional and significant uncertainty for Gulf of Mexico lease owners and operators and for us through the third party indemnity agreements
we have provided for Maritech liabilities to the US Department of the Interior and/or to third parties through our private guarantees.
The US Department of the Interior also recently increased its estimates for decommissioning liabilities in the Gulf of Mexico, causing the potential need for additional supplemental bonding and/or other financial assurances to be dramatically increased. When coupled with the volatile and currently low prices of oil and gas, it is difficult to predict the impact of the rule and regulatory changes already promulgated and asoperating loss carryforwards may be forthcoming by the US Department of the Interior relatinglimited;
•increased costs associated with possible facility closures to financial assurance for decommissioning liabilities. The US Department of the Interior's revisions to its supplemental bonding process could result in demands for the posting of increased financial assurances by ownersmeet expected customer activity levels; and operators in the Gulf of Mexico, including Maritech, Orinoco and the other entities to whom Maritech divested its Gulf of Mexico assets, but such demands cannot be directly placed on us due to the fact that we are only a former parent company of Maritech and are only a guarantor as opposed to an actual lease owner or operator. This may force lease owners and operators of leases and other infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico to obtain surety bonds or other forms of financial assurance, the costs of which could be significant. Moreover, recent and anticipated changes to the bonding and financial assurance program for the Gulf of Mexico are likely to result in the loss of supplemental bonding waivers for a large number of lease owners and operators of infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico, which will in turn force these owners and operators to seek additional surety bonds which could exceed the surety bond market’s ability to provide such additional financial assurance. Lease owners and operators who have already leveraged their assets could face difficulty obtaining surety bonds because of concerns the surety may have about the priority of their liens on their collateral as well as the creditworthiness of such lease owners and operators. Consequently, anticipated changes to the bonding and financial assurance program could result in additional lease owners and operators in the Gulf of Mexico initiating bankruptcy proceedings, which in turn could result in the US Department of the Interior seeking to impose decommissioning costs on predecessors in interest and providers of third party indemnity agreements in the event that the current lease owners and/or operators cannot meet their decommissioning obligations. As a result, this could increase the risk that
•we may be required to step in and satisfy remaining decommissioning liabilities of Maritech and any buyerrecord significant impairment charges with respect to assets, whose fair values may be negatively affected by the effects of the Maritech properties,COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. Also, we may be required to write off obsolete inventory, and such charges may be significant.
The resumption of our normal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be delayed or constrained by its lingering effects on the oil and gas industry. Any of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including Orinoco, throughthose described above, alone or in combination with others, may have a significant adverse effect on our third party indemnity agreements and private guarantees, which obligations could be significant and could adversely affect our business,financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cash flows.
We are exposed to significant credit risks.
We face credit risk associated withcannot be predicted, including the significant amountsscope and duration of accounts receivable we have with our customers in the energy industry. Many of our customers, particularly those associated with our onshore operations, are small- to medium-sizedpandemic and the resulting impact on the oil and gas operators that may be more susceptible to declines in oil and gas commodity prices or generally increased operating expenses than larger companies. Our ability to collect from our customers is impacted byindustry. Given the current volatile oil and natural gas price environment.
As discussed in the preceding risk factors, we face the risk of having to satisfy decommissioning liabilities on properties presently or formerly owned by Maritech. Continued decreased oil and natural gas prices have resulted in reduced revenues and cash flows for oil and gas lease owners and operators, including companies that have purchased Maritech properties or are joint-owners in properties presently and formerly owned by Maritech and from whom Maritech is entitled to receive payments upon satisfaction of certain decommissioning obligations. Consequently, we face credit risk associated with the abilitydynamic nature of these companies to satisfy their decommissioning liabilities. If these companies are unable to satisfy their obligations, itevents, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that the COVID-19 pandemic and related market conditions will increasepersist, the possibility that wefull extent of the impact they will become liable for such decommissioning obligations inhave on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity or the future.pace or extent of any subsequent recovery.
