Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

We are an industrial and oil and gas products and services company operating on six continents, focused on bromine-based completion fluids, calcium chloride, water management solutions, frac flowback and production well testing services. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981 and are composed of 2two segments – Completion Fluids & Products Division and Water & Flowback Services Division. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned or controlled 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 June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.2023.

We have reflected the operations of our former Compression Division and Offshore Division as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 - “Discontinued Operations” for further information. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 202227, 2023 (the “20212022 Annual Report”).

Tax Benefits Preservation Plan

On February 28, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Tax Plan”) designed to protect the availability of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes (collectively, the “Tax Attributes”), which may be utilized in certain circumstances to reduce the Company’s future income tax obligations. The Tax Plan is intended to reduce the likelihood that any changes in the Company’s investor base would limit the Company’s future use of its Tax Attributes as a result of the Company experiencing an “ownership change” under Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If a corporation experiences an “ownership change,” any NOLs, losses or deductions attributable to a “net unrealized built-in loss” and other Tax Attributes could be substantially limited, and timing of the usage of such Tax Attributes could be substantially delayed. A corporation generally will experience an ownership change if one or more stockholders (or group of stockholders) who are each deemed to own at least 5% of the corporation’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a testing period (generally, a rolling three-year period).

In adopting the Tax Plan, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchase right (the “Rights”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Tax Plan. Initially, each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $20.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 4.99% or more of the Common Stock (or to a person or group that already owns 4.99% or more of the Company’s Common Stock if
7

Table of Contents
such person or group acquires additional shares representing 2% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of Common Stock) without prior approval from the Board of Directors.

The Rights will expire at the earliest of: (i) the close of business on February 28, 2026 (the “Final Expiration Date”); (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed pursuant to the Tax Plan, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged pursuant to the Tax Plan; (iv) the closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company pursuant to an agreement as described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 1.3 of the Tax Plan; (v) the close of business on the effective date of the repeal of Section 382 of the Code if the Board determines that the Tax Plan is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of the Tax Attributes; or (vi) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company following a Board determination that no Tax Attributes may be carried forward or otherwise utilized.

The Tax Plan adopted by the Board of Directors is similar to plans adopted by other publicly held companies with significant NOLs or other substantial tax benefits and is not designed to prevent any action that the Board of Directors determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. As discussed further in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the annual meeting of stockholders, which is anticipated to be held on May 24, 2023, the Company intends to submit the Tax Plan to our stockholders for ratification at such meeting.
The Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Tax Plan. The foregoing summary provides only a general description of the Tax Plan and does not purport to be complete. The Tax Plan, which specifies the terms of the Rights and includes as Exhibit A the Form of Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company and as Exhibit B the Form of Right Certificate, is attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023, as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary should be read together with the entire Tax Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tax Plan.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022 included in our 20212022 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application thereof during the secondfirst quarter of 2022.2023.

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 reclassifications was not significant to the prior year's overall presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation

We have designated the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real, and the Mexican peso as the functional currencies for our operations in Finland and Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil,
7

Table of Contents
and certain of our operations in Mexico, respectively. The United States dollar is the designated functional currency for all of our other non-U.S. operations. The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the United States 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 $(0.8)$0.2 million and $(1.6)$(0.8) million during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $(0.2) million and $(1.0) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 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 investments. See Note 8 - “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion. Fair

value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, including the impairment of long-lived assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards not yetStandard adopted during 2023

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently usedpreviously-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. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13 will become effective for us in the first quarter2016-13. The adoption of fiscal 2023. We continue to assess the potential effects of these changes tothis standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Standard not yet adopted

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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848.” Entities may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022.2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, our asset-based credit agreement and term credit agreement were amended to allow replacement of LIBOR with another benchmark rate, such as the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in the event that LIBOR cannot be determined or does not fairly reflect the cost to our lenders of funding our loans. If LIBOR is not available, we cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with our lenders. We will assess the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04, as extended by ASU 2022-06, on our consolidated financial statements if or when our contracts are modified to eliminate references to LIBOR.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 29, 2021, we entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Spartan Energy Partners, LP (“Spartan”) pursuant to which we sold the general partner of CSI Compressco, including the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) in CSI Compressco LP, (“CSI Compressco”), and approximately 23.1% of the outstanding limited partner interests in CSI Compressco, in exchange for the combination of $13.9 million in cash and $3.1 million in contingent consideration in the form of cash and/or CSI Compressco common units if CSI Compressco achieves certain financial targets on or before December 31, 2022. Throughout this Quarterly Report, we refer to this transaction as the “GP Sale.”Following the closing of the transaction, we retained an interest in CSI Compressco representing approximately 3.7% of the outstanding common units as of June 30, 2022. As a result of these transactions, we no longer consolidate CSI Compressco as of January 29, 2021. We recognized a primarily non-cash accounting gain of $120.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 related to the GP Sale.

We provided back-office support to CSI Compressco under a Transition Services Agreement that ended during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold equipment to CSI Compressco for approximately $0.3 million. Our interest in CSI Compressco and the general partner represented substantially all of our Compression Division.

NOTE 7 – 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.

We have a Bromine Requirements Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) to purchase a certain volume of elemental bromine from LANXESS Corporation (formerly Chemtura Corporation) (“LANXESS”), included in Product Purchase Obligations below. LANXESS notified us of a proposed non-ordinary course increase to the price of bromine, which we believe is not justified nor appropriate under the Sales Agreement. After lengthy discussions, we and LANXESS were unable to reach an agreement regarding the validity of the proposed price increase; therefore, we filed for arbitration in May 2022 seeking declaratory relief, among other relief, declaring that the proposed price increase is invalid. In September 2022, LANXESS filed a counterclaim with the American Arbitration Association seeking declaratory relief, among other relief, declaring that the proposed price increase was valid and seeking damages in the amount of the price increase from July 1, 2022 forward. In October 2022, we filed a reply to LANXESS’ counterclaim disputing the counterclaim and amending our original demand. The arbitration is currently pending, and the final hearing is set to begin on March 4, 2024. Discussions with LANXESS regarding this arbitration are ongoing. We are unable to predict the duration, scope, or impact of this proceeding on our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other material developments in our legal proceedings during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. For aadditional discussion of our legal proceedings, please see our 20212022 Annual Report.

Some of these agreements have terms and conditions that specify a minimum or maximum level of purchases over the term of the agreement. Other agreements require us to purchase the entire output of the raw material or finished product produced by the manufacturer. Our purchase obligations under these agreements apply only with regard to raw materials and finished products that meet specifications set forth in the agreements. We recognize a liability for the purchase of such products at the time we receive them. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the fixed and determinable portion of the purchase obligation pursuant to our Completion Fluids & Products Division’s supply agreements was approximately $104.6$113.9 million, including $3.0$11.4 million for the remainder of 2022,2023, an average of $15.7$17.9 million per year from 20232024 to 20262027 and $40.2$30.8 million thereafter, extending through 2029.

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 should also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 27, 2023 (“2022 (“2021 Annual Report”). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.
Business Overview

We are an industrial and oil and gas products and services company operating on six continents, focused on bromine-based completion fluids, calcium chloride, water management solutions, frac flowback and production well testing services. Calcium chloride is used in the oil and gas industry, and also has broad industrial applications to the agricultural, road, food and beverage and lithium production markets. We are composed of two segments – Completion Fluids & Products Division and Water & Flowback Services Division.

Customer activity levels continued to trend upward as sustained high oil prices increased to an average of approximately $109 per barrel for the second quarter of 2022, and natural gas prices averaged $7.50 per million Btu. As a result, second quarterFirst-quarter consolidated revenue of $270.8$146.2 million is verywas comparable to thefourth-quarter levels and greater than pre-pandemic period, butlevels, although with significantly fewer operating frac crews in the United States.

Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues were slightly higherincreased 4% sequentially with the seasonal increase for our Northern Europe industrial chemicals business partially offset by lower Gulf of Mexico and international fluid sales as the first quarter benefiteddespite significant projects that had previously moved up from sales pulling forward from the second quarter. However with much higher oil prices continuing to drive demand, revenues were significantly higher compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher completions activity in the Gulf of Mexico and international markets. While drilling and completion activity has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, we have continued to successfully leverage opportunities to expand integrated services to completion fluids customers, resulting in Completion Fluids & Products revenues reaching near pre-pandemic levels. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division also continued to ship TETRA's high purity zinc bromine solution, TETRA PureFlow® to Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. ("Eos") (NASDAQ: EOSE) under our recent strategic partnership. Our sales to Eos increased materially during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2022 as Eos expands its production2023 into the fourth quarter of 2022. The stronger performance was also driven by improved pricing and volumes in the industrial chemicals business where capacity is almost back to meet its growing backlog andlevels experienced prior to service its increasing number of identified opportunities

We have not historically directly purchased any significant volumes of raw materials from Russia nor from Ukraine. Additionally, we have not historically sold any significant volumes of product to Russia or to Ukraine. However, one of our raw material providers sourced one of their raw materials from Russia or Ukraine. Because of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Russia/Ukraine toward the end ofconflict. Results for the first quarter of 2023 also reflect a full-quarter contribution from the fluids acquisition late last year in the North Sea, which performed above expectations. The outlook for international and offshore markets activity growth remains strong. With the planned expansion of our primary European supplier of certain raw materials advised us of supply constraints with one of their suppliers of a key raw material usedBrazil completion fluids blending and storage facility in their manufacturing process. This raw material is a widely used, global commodity but the disruption to the current supply chain has caused some impact on their production which in turn has caused a reduction in delivered volumes of certain raw materials to our plant in Finland where we manufacture calcium chloride, which has decreased our calcium chloride production volumes and had some impact on second quarter margins. Our supplier has sourced their material from an alternative locationof 2023, we have now completed or committed to three strategic investments to grow our market position and resumed supplying reduced volumes to us. We are also continuing to work with secondary and tertiary raw material providers on options to address the situation and mitigate the financial impact and we are told from our primary provider that they expect improved deliveries and a more normalized supply chain as they progress through the second half of the year. The exact financial impact remains difficult to quantify at this time and is dependent on our ability to find alternative sources of certain raw materials from suppliers not directly or indirectly impacted by the conflict or the ability of our primary supplier to source alternative raw material sources.add capacity in key offshore markets.

Our Water & Flowback Services revenues improved over the first quarter andincreased significantly compared to the secondfirst quarter of 2021 due to a combination of continued increasesthe prior year, driven primarily by growth in customer activity levels and continued price recovery, particularlyour domestic TETRA SandStormTM business, as well as from the first two early production facilities in the United States onshore land business. The second quarter revenue for our United States land business was the highest sinceLatin America that became operational in the third quarter of 2019, despite significantly lower drilling2022. The early production facilities are longer-term, high-margin projects with stable and fracking activity compared to prior years. We continue to addpredictable cash flows and we anticipate commencing operation on a third early production facility in the second quarter of 2023. Our fleet of TETRA SandStormTM (“SandStorm”) units to United States onshore marketsadvanced cyclone technology separators remains at rates approaching pre-pandemic pricing. We continue to see strong utilization for our SandStorm technology and continue to invest additional capital for new units as activity remains strong. During the quarter, we secured a patent on this unique sand filtration technology. Our focus on produced water treatment and recycling continues to generate results with four new recycling projects added during the second quarter. Revenue growth

was a result of the continued increase in the number of integrated projects and customers, high utilization with continued market penetration and positive pricing progression. Water & Flowback Services revenues decreased slightly compared to the fourth quarter due to the timing of SandStorm units and market share gains with private oil and gas operators.certain customer completion schedules.

We are committed to pursuing low-carbon energy initiatives that leverage our fluids and aqueous chemistry core competencies, our significant bromine and lithium assets and technologies, and our leading calcium chloride production capabilities. During the first quarter of 2022, we completed the drilling of our Arkansas exploration well and, during the second quarter of 2022, we secured samples for multiple Smackover formation brine zones. Ongoingmaiden inferred bromine and lithium fluid analysis from these samples is being used to progress abrine resource estimation report for both the bromine and lithium in our approximately 31,100 net acre brine leases in Arkansas. The resource report is expected to be completedleased acreage in the third quarter of 2022. We are alsoSmackover Formation in the process of completing an engagement agreement with an engineering firm to begin work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) to determine the economics of developing 3,600 net acres under which we hold exclusive brine rights to meet the demand for bromine-based fluids for both a growing oil and gas marketSouthwest Arkansas, as well as a rapidly growing energy storage market. In additionfront-end engineering and design study for the design of a brine-to-bromine processing plant, pipeline and related assets. Additional steps are required before making a decision to develop the bromine we planassets, including further studies to ultimately extract lithium fromanalyze the same brine feed, which we expect will greatly benefitresource and completion of a pre-feasibility and/or feasibility study.

On January 29, 2021, we closed the sale of the general partner of CSI Compressco, which included the sale of the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) in CSI Compresscolithium and approximately 23.1% of the outstanding limited partner interests in CSI Compressco, referred to as the “GP Sale.” We recorded a book gain of $120.6 million during 2021 in connection with the GP Sale. This gain, most of which was non-cash, was a function of CSI Compressco having a negative carrying value within our consolidated balance sheet due to our share of cumulative losses and distributions. We have reflected the operations of our former Compression Division as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Consolidated revenuesincreased are comparable between the current and previous quarters, with the decrease in revenues from thecurrent quarter primarily due to Water & Flowback Services division mostly offset by an increase in overall activity for both the Completion Fluids & Products division. See Divisional Comparisons section below for a more detailed discussion of the change in our revenues.

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased primarily due to our Completion Fluids & Products division benefiting from increased overall activity levels and margins, as well as a $2.9 million insurance settlement received in March 2023, which was related to damage to our Lake Charles facility during Hurricane Laura in 2020. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated exploration and pre-development costs decreased primarily due to completion of the front-end engineering and design study for our potential brine to bromine processing plant in Southwest Arkansas during the prior quarter.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, increased in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in unrealized gain from our Standard Lithium shares received in April 2022 and a $1.5 million decrease in foreign exchange losses compared to the previous quarter. These changes are partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in unrealized loss due to the change in the unit price of the CSI Compressco common units we own and a $0.4 million increase in unrealized loss from the change in fair value of the CarbonFree convertible note embedded option.

Consolidated provision for income tax was $1.5 million during the current quarter, compared to a $0.7 million provision during the prior quarter. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 19.8% due to income generated during the quarter, partially offset by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and certain other non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance had been established. 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 United States and certain other non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Revenues for our Completion Fluids & Products Division increased primarily due to increased pricing for industrial chemical sales, as well as higher sales volume in Europe.

Gross profit for our Completion Fluids & Products Division increased compared to the prior quarter period primarily due to the pricing and sales volume impact mentioned above, as well as a $2.9 million insurance settlement received in March 2023 related to damage to our Lake Charles facility during Hurricane Laura in 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue improved compared to the prior quarter due to the insurance settlement related to our Lake Charles facility and the shift to a higher margin mix of products. Our profitability in future periods will continue to be affected by the mix of our products and services, market demand for our products and services, drilling and completions activity, supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures.

Income before taxes and discontinued operations for our Completion Fluids & Products Division increased primarily due to the $5.0 million higher gross profit described above, a $2.4 million decrease in exploration and pre-development costs associated with front-end engineering design for our potential Southwest Arkansas bromine development, a $0.4 million decrease in foreign exchange losses and a $0.9 million increase in unrealized gain from our investment in Standard Lithium shares received in April 2022.

Consolidated revenues increased in the current year primarily due to improving industry conditions compared to the prior year for both the Completion Fluids & Products division and the Water Management & Flowback division. See Divisional Comparisons section below for a more detailed discussion of the change in our revenues.

Consolidated gross profit increased in the current year primarily due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with the higher activity levels described above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue also increased, primarily due to the significant improvement in profitability for our Water and Flowback Services Division, as well as a $3.8 million insurance settlement received in March 2022 associated with damage to our Lake Charles facility in 2020.

Consolidated exploration and appraisal costs were $2.6 million during the current year due to the exploration and sample analysis costs associated with our exploratory brine well in Arkansas.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased compared to the prior year, primarily due to $7.6 million of increased wage and benefit related expenses driven by reinstatement of full salaries and 401K match as well as higher short and long-term incentive expenses, and divisional headcount additions as operational activity levels increased. Higher wage and benefit related expenses were partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in professional fees primarily due to the GP Sale in the first quarter of the prior year.

Consolidated interest expense, net, decreased in the current year primarily due to $50.5 million of repayments of our term credit facility during 2021.

Consolidated other income, net, decreased in the current year, compared to the prior year primarily due to a $5.2 million net decrease in unrealized gains on investments in CSI Compressco, Standard Lithium and CarbonFree, partially offset by a $3.0 million warrants fair value adjustment recognized in the prior year, a $0.6 million increase in foreign exchange gains, and a $0.3 million increase in gains on sales of assets.

Consolidated provision for income taxes was $0.7 million during the current year, compared to $1.6 million during the prior year. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the current year of 7.1% was primarily due to income generated during the current year, partially offset by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the United States as well as in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance had been established. 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 United States as well as in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Consolidated loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the prior year includes a $120.6 million primarily non-cash accounting gain from the deconsolidation of CSI Compressco. This gain is net of a $0.01 million tax provision after taking into consideration utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

Consolidated loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests included $0.3 million income from the prior year associated with CSI Compressco’s results for the month of January, prior to the GP Sale.

Revenues for our Water & Flowback Services Division increased significantly for both water management and production testing due to much overall higher customer drilling and completion activity. Customer activity levels have continued to improve, primarily in our North America land business, as commodity prices recovered during 2022 and remained strong. Revenues have not only recovered but remained high for both crude oil and natural gas comparedalso increased in Latin America due to two early production facilities that began operations in the prior year period.third quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for our Water & Flowback Services Division improved substantially from a loss in the prior year to double-digit profit in the current year primarily due to higher revenues resulting from the increased activity levels described above and pricing improvements as activity levels improved.improved and new higher-margin projects commenced.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use U.S. GAAP financial measures such as revenues, gross profit, income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations, 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 earningsnet income (loss) before interest, taxes depreciation, amortization,and discontinued operations, excluding impairments, exploration and appraisalpre-development costs, certain special, non-recurring or other charges (or credits), interest, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash chargesitems such as equity-based compensation expense. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income (loss) before taxes and non-recurring adjustments.discontinued operations. Exploration and pre-development costs represent expenditures incurred to evaluate potential future development of TETRA’s lithium and bromine properties in Arkansas. Such costs include exploratory drilling and associated engineering studies and are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they do not relate to the Company’s current business operations. Adjustments to long-term incentives represent cumulative adjustments to valuation of long-term cash incentive compensation awards that are related to prior years. These costs are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they do not relate to the current year and are considered to be outside of normal operations. Long-term incentives are earned over a three-year period and the costs are recorded over the three-year period they are earned. The amounts accrued or incurred are based on a cumulative of the three-year period. Equity-based compensation expense represents compensation that has been or will be paid in equity and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because it is a non-cash item.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure by our management to:
evaluate theto assess financial performance, without regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be outside of our assetsits normal operations and without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;basis, and
determine our to assess the Company’s 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 as we 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.

Investing Activities

Total cash capital expenditures during the first sixthree months of 20222023 were $20.4$12.8 million, which reflects front-loading our expected full yearincreased expenditures to accommodate industry-wide activity recoveries.recoveries as well as traditional front-loading of expected annual expenditures. Our Water & Flowback Services Division spent $15.9$10.3 million on capital expenditures, primarily to deploy additional SandStorm units to meet increased demands and maintain, automate and upgrade its water management and flowback equipment fleet. Water and Flowback Services Division capital expenditures also included expenditures related to construction of the third early production facilitiesfacility in Argentina, including approximately $2.0 million of costs that were reimbursed by customers.Argentina. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division spent $4.4$2.4 million on capital expenditures.expenditures, primarily supporting higher activity levels in the United States and Europe.

Historically, a significant majority of our planned capital expenditures have been related to identified opportunities to grow and expand our existing businesses. We are also focused on enhancing shareholder value by capitalizing on our key mineral assets, brine mineral extraction expertise, and deep chemistry competency to expand our offerings into the low carbon energy markets. However, we continue to review all capital expenditure plans carefully in an effort to conserve cash. We currently have no long-term capital expenditure commitments.commitments, other than the asset purchase obligation described in Note 7 - “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. If the forecasted demand for our products and services increases or decreases, the amount of planned expenditures on growth and expansion may be adjusted.

Lithium and Bromine Exploration TargetsInferred Resources

We have rights to the brine underlying our approximately 31,100 net40,000 gross acres of brine leases in the Smackover Formation in Southwest Arkansas, including rights to the bromine and lithium contained in the brine. With respect to approximately 27,50035,000 acres of that total acreage, we had previously entered into an agreement grantinggranted Standard Lithium an option to acquire the lithium rights. The agreements governing this option contemplate a 2.5% royalty that Standard Lithium would pay us based on gross lithium revenues. Additional information on these exploration targetsinferred resources is described in Part I, “Item 2. Properties” in our 20212022 Annual Report.

In August 2021,During early 2023, we announcedcompleted an initial economic assessment for a bromine extraction plant. We expect an initial economic assessment to follow in late 2023 for a lithium extraction plant, subject to the progress of early engineering. Only upon completion of an indicated resources study, pre-feasibility and/or feasibility study and attainment of capital commitment from either a preliminary technical assessment by an independent geological consulting firm to assess lithium and bromine exploration targetsjoint venture partner, governments grants or loans, or other cost-effective sources of capital that will not over-lever TETRA, in our approximately 31,100 net acres. During the first six months 2022, we incurred $2.6 million to complete the drilling of our Arkansas exploration well and obtain and analyze fluid samples for multiple Smackover formation brine zones. Ongoing bromine and lithium fluid analysis from these samples is being used to progress a resource report for both the bromine and lithium in our approximately 31,100 net acre brine leases in Arkansas. The resource report is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. We have engaged an engineering firm to begin work on a PEA to determine the economics of developing 3,600 net acres under which we hold exclusive brine rights to meet the demand for bromine-based fluids for both a growing oil and gas market as well as a rapidly growing energy storage market. In addition to confirmation of a successful recapitalization of the bromine,long-duration zinc-bromide battery storage manufacturers, would we planproceed to ultimately extract lithium from the same brine feed which we expect will greatly benefit the financial returns for the project.a final investment decision.

Financing Activities

As a result of TETRA’s strong cash flow from operations in 2020 and the proceeds from the GP Sale, during the first six months of 2021, we repaid $29.3 million on our term credit agreement. We repaid an additional $21.0 million on our term credit agreement during 2021 using proceeds from the sale of Standard Lithium shares and cash flows from operations. Our financing activities for the fist sixfirst three months of 20222023 include $1.2$52.8 million of borrowings and $47.4 million of repayments under the ABL Credit Agreement, Argentina Credit Facility and Swedish Credit Facility, as well as $0.3 million of capital lease payments associated with equipment leased primarily for the early production facilities in Argentina. We 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. We are aggressively managing our working capital and capital expenditure needs in order to maximize our liquidity in the current environment.

Other Sources and Uses of Cash

In addition to the aforementioned credit facilities, and senior notes, we fund our short-term liquidity requirements from cash generated by our operations and from short-term vendor financing. In addition, as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the market value of our investments in CSI Compressco and Standard Lithium were $6.9$6.4 million and $1.7$1.5 million, respectively, with no holding restrictions on our ability to monetize our interest.interests. We also hold an investment in a convertible notesnote issued by CarbonFree valued at $5.6$5.9 million as of June 30, 2022, excluding accrued interest.March 31, 2023. In addition, we are party to agreements in which Standard Lithium has the right to explore for, and an option to acquire the right to produce and extract Lithiumlithium in our Arkansas leases as well as additional potential resources in the Mojave region of California. We received an additional 400,000 shares of Standard Lithium stock during the second quarter of 2022in April 2023 under the terms of this agreement.

On May 5, 2022, we filed a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. On May 17, 2022, 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 $400 million. This shelf registration statement currently provides us additional flexibility with regards to potential financing that we may undertake when market conditions permit or our financial condition may require.

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 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 of our common stockholders will occur. We periodically evaluate engaging in strategic transactions and may consider divesting non-core assets where our evaluation suggests such transactions are in the best interest of our business. In challenging economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures by customers to pay our invoices. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have an adverse effect on our liquidity. An increase of unpaid receivables would also negatively affect our borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, 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.
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 20212022 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.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of Forward-Looking Statements

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

These forward-looking statements include statements concerning the exploration targetsinferred mineral resources of lithium and bromine, the potential extraction of lithium and bromine from the leased acreage, andthe development of the assets including construction of bromine extraction plants, the economic viability thereof, the demand for such resources, and the timing and cost of such activities,activities; the ability to obtain an indicated or measured resources report and an initial economic assessment, indicated or measured resources report, and/or pre-feasibility or feasibility studies regarding our lithium and bromine acreage; statements regarding the Company's beliefs, expectations, plans, goals, future events and performance,performance; and other statements that are not purely historical. With respect to the Company's disclosures of inferred mineral resources, including bromine and lithium carbonate equivalent concentrations, it is uncertain if further exploration will ever result in the estimation of a higher category of mineral resource or a mineral reserve. Inferred mineral resources are considered to have the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources. Investors are cautioned that inferred mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be economically or legally commercialized. A significant amount of exploration must be completed in order to determine whether an inferred mineral resource may be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, that it can be economically or legally commercialized, or that it will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date whenon which they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations, forecasts or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our 20212022 Annual Report, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest on our borrowings is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates. Borrowings under our Swedish Credit Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.95%. Borrowings under our ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at an agreed-upon percentage rate spread above LIBOR. Borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) LIBOR (subject to a 1% floor) plus a margin of 6.25% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum. Borrowings under our ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at an agreed-upon percentage rate spread above LIBOR. Borrowings under our Argentina Credit Facility and Swedish Credit Facility bear interest at fixed rates of 2.50% and 2.95%, respectively. The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the principal amount due under our long-term debt obligations and their respective weighted average interest rates. We are not a party to an interest rate swap contract or other derivative instrument designed to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuation risk.

Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the euro with regard to our euro-denominated operating activities. We also have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to revenues, expenses, operating receivables, and payables denominated in foreign currencies. We may enter into 30-dayshort-term foreign-currency forward derivative contracts as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected
31

transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. 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 expected to be formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we did not have any foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

There were no changes in our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On May 31, 2022, TETRA filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under a certain Bromine Requirements Sales Agreement between TETRA and LANXESS Corporation (formerly Chemtura Corporation, “LANXESS”) (the “Sales Agreement”).

Under the Sales Agreement, TETRA agreed to purchase a certain volume of elemental bromine. LANXESS notified TETRA of a proposed non-ordinary course increase to the price of bromine, which TETRA believes is not justified nor appropriate under the Sales Agreement. After lengthy discussions, TETRA and LANXESS were unable to reach an agreement regarding the validity of the proposed price increase; therefore, TETRA filed for arbitration seeking declaratory relief, among other relief, declaring that the proposed price increase is invalid.

On September 19, 2022, LANXESS filed a counterclaim with the AAA seeking declaratory relief, among other relief, declaring that the proposed price increase was valid and seeking damages in the amount of the price increase from July 1, 2022 forward.

On October 4, 2022, TETRA filed a reply to LANXESS’ counterclaim disputing the counterclaim and amending its original demand.

The arbitration is currently pending, and nothe final hearing date has been set.is set to begin on March 4, 2024. TETRA is presently unable to predict the duration, scope, or result of this proceeding. Discussions with LANXESS regarding this arbitration are ongoing.

For more information regarding litigation, see “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in our 20212022 Annual Report and Note 7 - “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this filing, TETRA and its operations continue to be subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” sections contained in our 20212022 Annual Report. In addition, we are subject to the following supplemental risk factor.

We may not be able to utilize all or a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards or other tax benefits to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal, state or foreign tax purposes, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan that is designed to protect our Tax Attributes.

As of December 31, 2022, we had United States. federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) equal to approximately $86.2 million, $11.1 million, and $7.8 million, respectively. In those countries and states in which NOLs are subject to an expiration period, our NOLs, if not utilized, will expire at various dates from 2023 through 2042.

We may be limited in the portion of our NOLs that we can use in the future to offset taxable income for United States, federal, state, and foreign income tax purposes. Utilization of these NOLs depends on many factors, including our future taxable income, which cannot be assured.

Under Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation experiences an “ownership change,” any NOLs, losses or deductions attributable to a “net unrealized built-in loss” and other tax attributes (“Tax Attributes”) could be substantially limited, and timing of the usage of such Tax Attributes could be substantially delayed. A corporation generally will experience an ownership change if one or more stockholders (or group of stockholders) who are each deemed to own at least 5% of the corporation’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a testing period (generally, a rolling three-year period). Utilization of our Tax Attributes may be subject to a significant annual limitation as a result of prior or future “ownership changes.” Determining the limitations under Section 382 is

technical and highly complex, and no assurance can be given that upon further analysis our ability to take advantage of our NOLs or other Tax Attributes may be limited to a greater extent than we currently anticipate.
The Board of Directors has adopted the Tax Plan to protect the availability of the Company’s Tax Attributes. The Tax Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that we experience an ownership change by deterring certain acquisitions of our common stock. There can be no assurances, however, that the deterrent mechanism will be effective, and, therefore, such acquisitions may still occur. In addition, the Tax Plan could adversely affect the marketability of our common stock by discouraging existing or potential investors from acquiring our common stock or additional shares of our common stock. If the Company is unable to use the Tax Attributes in years in which it has taxable income, the Company will pay significantly more in cash tax than if it were able to utilize the Tax Attributes, and those tax costs would negatively impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
