SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended September 30, 20172019

(1)Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 20162018 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation.  The results of operations for the first nine months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year.

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.  In management’s opinion, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the Company determined that there were no material subsequent events for recognition or disclosuredisclosure.

(2)Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered or rentals provided. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services or provide rentals, and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that the Company charges for its services rendered and rentals provided. The majority of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generally represented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30 days.

Services revenue primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service. Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis.

Rentals revenue is, primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than those disclosed herein.twelve months.

(2)InventoryThe Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a pre-tax basis,lease at inception. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are included in ROU assets, accounts payable and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable. The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds.  The Company entered into separate trust agreements, subject to general creditors, to segregate the assets of each plan and reports the accounts of the trusts in its condensed consolidated financial statements. These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy.

(9)Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintains various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (Eligible Participants).  Under the stock incentive plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants.  The Company’s total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $29.2 million and $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

(10)Income Taxes

The Company had $29.9 million of unrecorded tax benefits as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.  It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

(11)Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations; therefore the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

(12)  Reduction in Value of Assets

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $9.9 million in expense related to the reduction in value of assets of property, plant and equipment, primarily in the Technical Solutions segment.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $0 and $462.5 million in expense related to the reduction in value of assets, respectively.  The components of the reduction in value of assets are as follows (in thousands):

Reduction in Value of Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1st or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset has decreased below its carrying value.  The Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as of June 30, 2016, indicated that the carrying values of the Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments exceeded their fair values so that goodwill was potentially impaired.  The Company then performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which involved calculating the implied fair value of the segments’ goodwill by allocating the fair values of the Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments to all of their assets and liabilities (other than goodwill) and comparing them to the carrying amounts of the goodwill.  To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit (which is consistent with the reported business segment), the Company used a weighting of the discounted cash flow method and the public company guideline method of determining fair value of the reporting unit. The Company weighted the discounted cash flow method 80% and the public company guideline method 20% due to differences between the Company’s reporting unit and peer companies’ size, profitability and diversity of operations. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a $330.5 million reduction in value of goodwill relating to its Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments.  The Company determined that the implied fair value of its goodwill for the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment was less than its carrying value and recorded a $140.0 million impairment of the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment’s goodwill.  In addition, the Company determined that the implied fair value of its goodwill for the Production Services segment was less than its carrying value and recorded a $190.5 million impairment of the Production Services segment’s goodwill. 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s accumulated reduction in value of goodwill was $1,748.2 million.

Reduction in Value of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of such assets to their fair value calculated, in part, by the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Cash flow estimates are based upon, among other things, historical results adjusted to reflect the best estimate of future market rates, utilization levels, and operating performance. Estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, changes in economic conditions or changes in an asset’s operating performance. The Company’s assets are grouped by line of business or division for the impairment testing, which represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. If the asset grouping’s fair value is less than the carrying amount of those items,the asset grouping, impairment losses are recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of such assetsasset grouping exceeds the fair value. The estimate of fair value represents the Company’s best estimate based on industry trends and reference to market transactions and is subject to variability.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2019, the Company recorded $105.9an estimated $9.6 million and $41.0 million, respectively, in connection with the reduction in value of its long-lived assets. The reduction in value of assets was comprised of $2.9 millionprimarily related to equipment and $45.9 million related toreduction in value of certain intangibles in the fluid management business in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment and $12.4 millionlong-lived assets in the Technical Solutions segment.

(11)Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintains various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (Eligible Participants). Under the stock incentive plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants. The Company’s total compensation expense related to equipmentthese plans was approximately $13.9 million and $21.0$22.8 million related to intangibles, primarily relating to the cementing business in the Production Services segment.  In addition, the Company recorded $23.7 million related to the reduction in carrying values of certain accommodation units included in the Drilling Products and Services segment.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments.  The guidance in this update addresses several aspectsmanagement’s opinion, none of the accounting for share-based payments, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equitypending litigation, disputes or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which applies to inventory measured using first-in, first-out or average cost.  The guidance in this update states that inventory within its scope shall be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and when the net realizable value of inventoryclaims is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings.   The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  The guidance in this ASU applies to all entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to the modification of the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 include guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and should be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASUexpected to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018.  The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-16 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet.  This new ASU will require the lessee to recognize a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for all leases longer than 12 months.  For leases with a term of 12 month or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and recognize the lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Under the new guidance, the Company will revise its leasing policies to require most of the leases, where the Company is involved in legal proceedings with 2 employees regarding the lessee, to be recognized onpayment of royalties for a patentable product developed by them.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by us with the SEC contain, and future oral or written statements or press releases by us and our management may contain, forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks” and “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or such other materials regarding our financial position, financial performance, liquidity, strategic alternatives, market outlook, future capital needs, capital allocation plans, business strategies and other plans and objectives of our management for future operations and activities are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and prevailing circumstances on the date such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, are inherently speculative and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the cyclicality and volatility ofconditions in the oil and gas industry, including changes in prevailingespecially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and gas pricescompanies; our outstanding debt obligations and the potential effect of limiting our ability to fund future growth and operations and increasing our exposure to risk during adverse economic conditions; necessary capital financing may not be available at economic rates or expectations about future prices;at all; volatility of our common stock; operating hazards, including the significant possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage for which we may have limited or no insurance coverage or indemnification rights; we may not be fully indemnified against losses incurred due to catastrophic events; claims, litigation or other proceedings that require cash payments or could impair financial condition; credit risk associated with our customer base; the effect of regulatory programs (including regarding worker health and safety laws) and environmental matters on our operations or prospects, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our pressure pumping and fluid management services, or that future changes in climate change legislation could result in increased operating costs or reduced commodity demand globally; counterparty risks associated with reliancethe impact that unfavorable or unusual weather conditions could have on key suppliers; risks associated with the uncertainty of macroeconomic and business conditions worldwide; changes in competitive and technological factors affecting our operations; credit risk associated with our customer base; the potential inability to retain key employees and skilled workers; challenges with estimating our oil and natural gas reserves and potential liabilities related to our oil and natural gas property; risks associated with potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy management security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms; risks inherent in acquiring businesses; risks associated with cyber-attacks; risks associated with business growth during an industry recovery outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure and workforce; political, legal, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with our international operations; laws, regulations or practices in foreign countries could materially restrict our operations or expose us to additional risks; potential changes in tax laws, adverse positions taken by tax authorities or tax audits impacting our operating results; changes in competitive and technological factors affecting our operations; risks associated with the uncertainty of macroeconomic and business conditions worldwide; not realizing the benefits of acquisitions or divestitures; our outstanding debt obligations and the potential effect of limiting our future growth and operations; our continued accessoperations may be subject to credit markets on favorable terms; and the impactcyber-attacks that unfavorable or unusual weather conditions could have an adverse effect on our operations.business operations; counterparty risks associated with reliance on key suppliers; challenges with estimating our potential liabilities related to our oil and natural gas property; and risks associated with potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy Management security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms. These risks and other uncertainties related to our business are described in detail in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after such statements are made, including for example the market prices of oil and gas and regulations affecting oil and gas operations, which we cannot control or anticipate. Further, we may make changes to our business strategies and plans (including our capital spending and capital allocation plans) at any time and without notice, based on any changes in the above-listed factors, our assumptions or otherwise, any of which could or will affect our results. For all these reasons, actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied by us in our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements for any reason and, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in our business plans, our actual experience, or other changes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Executive Summary

General

We provide a wide variety of services and products to the energy industry. We serve major, national and independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies around the world and offer products and services with respect to the various phases of a well’s economic life cycle. We report our operating results in four business segments: Drilling Products and Services; Onshore Completion and Workover Services; Production Services; and Technical Solutions.

Industry Trends

The oil and gas industry is both cyclical and seasonal. The level of spending by oil and gas companies is highly influenced by current and expected demand and future prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in spending result in an increased or decreased demand for our services and products. Rig count is an indicator of the level of spending by oil and gas companies. Our financial performance is significantly affected by the rig count in the U.S. land and offshore market areas as well as oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.

Appeal of New York Stock Exchange Determination to Delist our Common Stock

Shares of our common stock are registered on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and were previously traded on the NYSE under the symbol “SPN.” On September 26, 2019, the NYSE suspended trading in our common stock as a result of our “abnormally low” stock price levels pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and commenced procedures to delist our common stock. Following the NYSE’s suspension of trading of our common stock, on September 27, 2019, our common stock commenced trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SPNV.” On October 4, 2019, our common stock also commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., under the same trading symbol “SPNV.” We have appealed the determination by the staff of the NYSE to delist our common stock in accordance with the NYSE rules. We also intend to conduct a reverse stock split to increase the market price of our common stock to enable our common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ National Market if the NYSE appeal is ultimately unsuccessful.

See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 147New Accounting Pronouncements.Leases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. A discussion of our market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.

30


Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

Because we operate in a number of countries throughout the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for our international operations, other than certain operations in the United Kingdom and Europe, is the U.S. dollar, but a portion of the revenues from our international operations is paid in foreign currencies. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations are partly mitigated because local expenses of such international operations are also generally denominated in the same currency. We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in the U.S. dollar.

Assets and liabilities of certain subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Europe are translated at end of period exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are reported as the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes. At September 30, 2017,2019, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

At September 30, 2017,2019, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues profitability and future rate of growthprofitability significantly depend upon the market prices of oil and natural gas.  Lower prices may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that can economically be produced. 

For additional discussion, see Part 1, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)

Changes in internal controlEffective January 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842, Leases. The adoption of this standard resulted in recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities, with no related impact on our condensed consolidated statement of equity or condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In connection with the adoption of the new standard, we implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard. There has beenwere no changeother changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 20172019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. The outcome of these proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 14 – Contingencies.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For information regarding certain risks relating to our operations, any of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, except as set forth below.

We have received notice of the NYSE’s intention to delist our common stock, which could materially impair the liquidity and value of our common stock.

On September 26, 2019, we were notified by the NYSE that due to “abnormally low” trading price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the NYSE had suspended trading in the Company’s common stock effective immediately and has determined to commence delisting proceedings to delist our common stock. While we have appealed the determination by the staff of the NYSE to delist the Company’s common stock and intend to conduct a reverse stock split to increase the market price of our common stock to enable our common stock to be listed on the NASDAQ National Market if the NYSE appeal is ultimately unsuccessful, we can provide no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

On September 27, 2019, our common stock commenced trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SPNV.” In addition, as of October 4, 2019, our common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market, operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc., (together with the OTC Markets, the OTC) under the same trading symbol “SPNV.” The OTC is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and quotation on the OTC may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade the common stock and could further depress the trading price of our common stock. We can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of our common stock on this market or whether the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market.
