Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “FET,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20232024 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022,2023, which are included in the Company’s 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.March 5, 2024.
Change of Segment
In the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm Holdings Ltd. ("Variperm") acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers, our customer base, and the manner in which we review and evaluate operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Refer to Note 10 Business Segments for the product lines making up each segment. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Accounting StandardStandards Issued But Not Yet Adopted in 2023
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.Segment Reporting (Topic 280). In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA, among other provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporationsNovember 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. This update is effective retrospectively for taxfiscal years beginning after December 31, 202215, 2023, and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporationsinterim periods within fiscal years after December 31, 2022.15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoptionCompany is in the process of this standard did notevaluating the impact it may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate ReformIncome Taxes (Topic 848)740). . In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, which provides temporary, optional practical expedients and exceptions to enable a smoother transition to the new reference rates which will replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, theDecember 2023, FASB issued ASU 2021-01,2023-09, which expanded the scope to include derivative instruments impacted by the discounting transition. Inimproves income tax disclosures. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the temporary accounting rules from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Effective April 2023, the Company transitioned its Credit Facility from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. The Company plans to adoptis in the guidance prospectively in second quarter 2023 and does not expectprocess of evaluating the impact it tomay have a material impact on the Company'sour consolidated financial statements.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, the Company records a contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, our contract assets decreased by $0.8$3.5 million and our contract liabilities decreased by $0.9 millionnominally primarily due to the timing of milestone billings for projects in our Subsea Technologies product line. The noncurrent portion of contract assets is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term assets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, we recognized $7.3$5.5 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilityliabilities balance at the beginning of the period.
Substantially all of our contracts are less than one year in duration. As such, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if the performancesuch obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Total consideration for the Variperm Acquisition includes approximately $150.0 million of cash and 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock determined using the market price at closing date, which was subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In connection with the closing, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company borrowed $90.0 million under its senior secured asset-based lending facility (“Credit Facility”) on January 2, 2024 and entered into a $60.0 million second lien seller term loan credit agreement (“Seller Term Loan”) on January 4, 2024. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of working capital adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized acquisition-related costs of $5.9 million for consulting fees and other costs expensed as transaction expenses. The acquisition of business on the statement of cash flow is presented net of the cash and cash equivalents acquired.
The following table summarizes the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of consideration transferred is based on management's estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to change upon final valuation and should be treated as preliminary values. Management estimated that consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Therefore, goodwill of $63.9 million was recorded, most of which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final allocation of purchase consideration could include changes in the estimated fair value of inventories; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets comprising of customer relationships, backlog and trade names; deferred income taxes; and leases. The Company has preliminarily estimated the useful lives of customer relationships, backlog and trade names as approximately eight years, two years and eight years, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents$4,388 
Accounts receivable—trade24,036 
Inventories13,422 
Property and equipment26,213

      Total liabilities assumed41,624 
Total identifiable net assets acquired134,753 
Goodwill63,941 
Total purchase consideration$198,694 
The excess of the total equity value of Variperm based on the purchase consideration over net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to revenue synergies and assembled workforce expected to be realized from the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Variperm Acquisition are amortized on a straight-line basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized. Acquired goodwill and intangibles relate to our Downhole reporting unit and Downhole asset group.
The fair value for trade names were estimated using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or licenses fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The fair value of customer relationships and backlog were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earning

method model estimates revenues and cash flows derived from the asset and then deducts portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets. The resulting cash flow, which is attributable solely to the asset acquired, is then discounted at a rate of return commensurate with the risk of the asset to calculate the present value.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The acquired Variperm business contributed revenues and net income of $27.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, to the Company for the period from January 4, 2024 to March 31, 2024.

In August 2020, we exchanged $315.5 million principal amount of our previous 6.25% unsecured notes due 2021 for newOur 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (the “2025(“2025 Notes”). The 2025 Notes, of which $134.2 million principal amount was outstanding at March 31, 2024, pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. During the quarter ended March 31,In January 2023, $122.8 million or 48% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes mandatorily converted into approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.

Seller Term Loan

TableOn January 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Seller Term Loan in connection with the closing of Contentsthe Variperm Acquisition, which had an initial principal amount of $60.0 million and matures in December 2026. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of purchase price adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million. The Seller Term Loan bears interest at the rate of (i) 11.00% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date to (but excluding) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 17.00% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 17.50% per annum for the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the maturity date. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty.
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.The Seller Term Loan requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing at the time excess availability is less than the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and Subsidiaries(y) $31.25 million and continuing until excess availability exceeds the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million for 60 consecutive days. “Line Cap” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Facility.
NotesSubject to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)customary exceptions, all obligations under the Seller Term Loan are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions pursuant to certain intercreditor arrangements.
(Unaudited)
The Seller Term Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness and bankruptcy-related defaults.
Credit Facility
In September 2021, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility (Credit Facility”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date to September 2026, reduce the aggregate amount of the commitment under theOur Credit Facility, and change the interest rate applicablewhich has a maturity date, subject to outstanding loans. Following such amendment, our Credit Facilitycertain exceptions, of September 2028, provides revolving credit commitments of $179.0$250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $45.0$70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $20.0$50.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $3.0$10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian

subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million.
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Such eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory serve as priority collateral for the Credit Facility, which is also secured on a second lien basis by substantially all of the Company's other assets. The amount of eligible inventory included in the borrowing base is restricted to the lesser of $125.0 million (subject to a quarterly reduction of $0.5 million) and 80.0% of the total borrowing base. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of March 31, 2023,2024, our total borrowing base was $178.3$189.1 million, of which $25.0$96.5 million amount was drawn and $24.0$21.0 million was used foras security offor outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $129.3$71.6 million.
Prior to the amendment discussed below, borrowingsBorrowings under the U.S. Line were subject to anbear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company'sour option, either (a) the LIBOR,Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio, with theratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted LIBORterm SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the rate“prime rate” of interest announced from time to time, by Wells Fargo at its principal office in San Francisco as its prime rate,Bank, National Association, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line were subject to anbear interest at a rate during the reporting period equal to, at our subsidiary'sCanadian borrowers’ option, either (a) the Canadian Dollar OfferedOvernight Repo Rate Average (“CDOR”CORRA”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian lineLine base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the Floor, (ii) the one-month CDOR plus 1.00%CORRA, and (ii)(iii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 8.34% and 7.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $22.4$31.25 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such thresholdsthreshold for at least 60 consecutive days. Furthermore,

Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. WeThe Company had $24.0$21.0 million and $21.8$20.3 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.
7.8. Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, the Company recorded a tax expense of $2.8$3.5 million and $1.9$2.8 million, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction. Finally, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $1.5 million of noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits may occur by the end of 2024 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted, or are expected to enact, legislation to be effective January 1, 2024 with general implementation of a global minimum tax by January 1, 2025. Based on current enacted legislation, we do not expect a material impact on our future effective tax rate.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including, but not limited to, our recent history of pretax losses over the prior three year period, the goodwill and intangible asset impairments for various reporting units, the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the projected future taxable income tax-planningor loss and recent operating results.tax-planning. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve. As of March 31, 2023,2024, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023.2024.
8.9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company had $25.0$96.5 million ofand $59.7 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan as of March 31, 2023.2024. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At March 31, 2024, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $134.1 million and $128.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $130.3$130.9 million and $125.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $272.8 million and $237.9$127.9 million, respectively.
There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 20222023 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2023.2024.

9.10. Business Segments
The Company reportsIn the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm Acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers, our customer base, and the manner in which we review and evaluate operating performance. FET now operates in the following two reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Drilling and Completions segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions to the following three reporting segments: Drilling &drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets, including applications in oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and communications. The Artificial Lift and Downhole Completions,segment designs, manufactures and Production. supplies products and solutions for the artificial lift, production and infrastructure markets.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer distinct products and services. They are managed separately since each business segment requires different marketing strategies. Operating segments have not been aggregated as part of a reportable segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income. This segmentation is representative of the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker and our board of directors make decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. We consider the Chief Operating Decision Maker to be the Chief Executive Officer.
The amounts indicated below as “Corporate” relate to costs and assets not allocated to the reportable segments.

10.11. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October of 2017, one of our subsidiaries, Global Tubing LLC (“Global Tubing”), filed suit against Tenaris Coiled Tubes, LLC and Tenaris, S.A. (together “Tenaris”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking a declaration that its DURACOILTM products do not infringe certain Tenaris patents related to coiled tubing. Tenaris filed counterclaims against Global Tubing alleging DURACOILTM products infringe three patents. Tenaris sought unspecified damages and a permanent injunction. In response, Global Tubing alleged that its products do not infringe and the Tenaris patents are invalid and unenforceable. On March 20, 2023, the court agreed with Global Tubing, finding all patents unenforceable and dismissing all Tenaris infringement claims. Global Tubing intends to seek an award of its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of the litigation.
For further disclosure regarding certain litigation matters, refer to Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 20222023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.March 5, 2024.

Market Conditions
DemandGenerally, demand for our products and services is directly related to our customers'customers’ capital and operating budgets. These budgets are heavily influenced by current and expected energy prices. In addition, demand for our capital products is driven by the utilization of service company equipment. Utilization is a function of equipment capacity and durability in demanding environments.
Recent inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and volatility in the banking sector have created a heightened concern of a global recession. OilCompared to fourth quarter 2023, oil and natural gas prices softenedhave remained relatively flat despite tightened supply from OPEC+ production cuts and continued geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the first quarter 2023 in part asMiddle East. These tensions could lead to a result of such recessionary fears. Despitedisruption to world energy markets and international supply chains. Although these near-term macroeconomic events have presented challenges, we expect that the world'sworld’s long-term energy demand will continue to rise and may outpace global supply as China's economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns and OPEC+ remains committed to maintaining stable oil prices. We expect that hydrocarbons will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world'sworld’s long-term energy needs while renewable energy sources continue to develop.become increasingly prominent.
The price of oil has varied dramatically over the last several years. The spot prices for WTIAverage West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) and United Kingdom Brent fell from $61.14 and $67.77 per barrel, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 to lows below $15.00 per barrel in April 2020. Since that time,(“Brent”) oil prices rebounded to highs above $120.00 per barrel in March 2022 but have softenedwere slightly higher in the first quarter 2023 to an average of $75.93 and $81.07, for WTI and Brent, respectively. In addition, natural gas prices have decreased by 43.5% comparing the first quarter 20232024 compared to the first quarter 2022.2023. In addition, average natural gas prices were 18.6% lower in the first quarter 2024 compared to the first quarter 2023.
Our revenues, over the long-term, are highly correlated to the global drilling rig count, which has increased to 1,896 rigs as of the end ofdecreased 5.3%during the first quarter 2023 from a low of 1,030 rigs in the third quarter 2020. The2024 compared to average U.S.global rig count for theduring first quarter 20232023.

The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $9.0 million, or 70.5%, in revenue for our Drilling TechnologiesSubsea product line due to higher sales volumes of both consumable productsproject revenue recognized from ROVs and capital equipment driven by increased market activity and global rig count. Revenue for our Downhole Technologies product line increased by $3.6 million, or 18.6%, primarily due to higher sales volumes of artificial lift products and casing equipment in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022. Revenue for our Subsea Technologies product line decreased by $9.7 million, or 43.0%, from lower volumes of ROVs partially offset by an increase in after-market part sales and service.cable management systems.
CompletionsArtificial Lift and Downhole segment — Revenue was $73.7$83.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, an increase of $21.1 million, or 40.2%34.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This significant improvement includes a revenue increase of $17.2 million, or 56.9%, for our Stimulation & Intervention product line primarily due to higher demand of power ends, radiators and wireline cable.2023. Revenue for our Coiled TubingDownhole product line increased by $4.0$29.0 million, or 17.7% in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022. These higher revenue levels were driven by increased hydraulic fracturing and well intervention service activity levels.
Production segment — Revenue was $39.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $7.5 million, or 23.8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was driven by a $4.7 million, or 31.2%125.1%, primarily due to increased demand for our processingrevenue contributed from the acquired Variperm business and an increase in casing equipment and technologies within our Production Equipment product line, and a $2.8sales. This increase was partially offset by an $6.5 million, or 16.9%, increase33.9% decrease, in sales of our valve products, and $1.4 million, or 7.1%, decrease in sales within our Valve SolutionsProduction Equipment product line.
Segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin percentage
Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 was $6.6$9.1 million, a $12.3$2.5 million improvementincrease compared to a loss of $5.7$6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, segment operating margin percentage was 3.5%4.5% compared to (3.7)%3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. Segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income (loss) by revenue for the period. The change in operating income (loss) for each segment is explained as follows:
Drilling &and Completions segment — Segment operating income was $4.6 million, or 3.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $5.0 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $0.4 million decrease in segment operating results is primarily attributable to lower demand for capital equipment that was nearly offset by higher project revenue in Subsea product line.
Artificial Lift and Downhole segment — Segment operating income was $8.4$11.8 million, or 11.0%14.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 compared to operating income of $6.0$8.6 million, or 8.4%13.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. The $2.5$3.2 million improvement in segment operating results is primarily attributable to higher gross profit from the 7.8% increase in segment revenues, favorable product mix and improved operating leverage. These gains were partially offset by higher freight and employee related costs.
Completions segment — Segment operating income was $3.6 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to segment operating loss of $0.7 million, or (1.4)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $4.3 million improvement in segment operating results was primarily due to higher gross profit fromdriven by the 40.2%acquisition of Variperm and an increase in revenues discussed above andproject revenue recognized from favorable product mix. These gains wereprocess oil treatment equipment, partially offset by higher steel, freight and employee related costs.
Production segment — Segment operating income was $1.6 million, or 4.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a lossdecline in sales of $1.8 million, or (5.6)%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $3.4 million improvement in segment operating results was driven by the 23.8% increase in revenues discussed above as well as lower depreciation and freight costs.our valve products.
Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate were $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. Corporate costs include, among other items, payroll related costs for management, administration, finance, legal, and human resources personnel; professional fees for legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs. This decline was primarily due to a $2.7 million charge recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to a modification of long-term incentive awards associated with the executive leadership transition.

Other income and expense
Other income and expense includes interest expense and foreign exchange gains (losses) and other. We incurred $4.5$8.8 million of interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease2024, an increase of $3.1$4.2 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly2023, due to the declineincreased borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility and borrowings under the Seller Term Loan entered into in connection with the balance of 2025 Notes upon conversion of $122.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes to common stock in January 2023.Variperm Acquisition. See Note 67 Debt for further details related to the our 2025 NotesCredit Facility and Credit Facility.Seller Term Loan.

The foreign exchange gains (losses) are primarily the result of movements in the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These movements in exchange rates create foreign exchange gains or losses when applied to monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the location’s functional currency, primarily U.S. dollar denominated cash, trade account receivables and net intercompany receivable balances for our entities using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.
Taxes
We recorded tax expense of $2.8$3.5 million and tax expense of $1.9$2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 20232024 and 20222023 were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction.

Liquidity and capital resources
Sources and uses of liquidity
Our internal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and cash flows from operations, while our primary external sources include trade credit, the Credit Facility, the 2025 Notes and the 2025 Notes.Seller Term Loan. Our primary uses of capital have been for inventory, sales on credit to our customers, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, debt repayments and debt repayments.the acquisition of Variperm. We continually monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements. Our future success and growth will be highly dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow and access outside sources of capital.
As of March 31, 2023,2024, we had $134.2 million principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding, and $25.0$96.5 million of borrowings outstanding under our revolving Credit Facility.Facility and $59.7 million principal amount of the Seller Term Loan outstanding. The 2025 Notes mature in August 2025 and, subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Facility matures in September 2028 and the Seller Term Loan matures in December 2026. See Note 67 Debt for further details related to the terms for our 2025 Notes and Credit Facility.debt arrangements.
As of March 31, 2023,2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $46.8$48.5 million and $129.3$71.6 million of availability under the Credit Facility. We anticipate that our future working capital requirements for our operations will fluctuate directionally with revenues. Furthermore, availability under the Credit Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory subject to applicable sublimits. In addition, we continue to expect total 20232024 capital expenditures to be less than $15.0approximately $10.0 million, consistingprimarily for replacement of among other items, replacing end of life machinery and equipment.
We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, and estimated availability under the Credit Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. In addition, based on existing market conditions and our expected liquidity needs, among other factors, we may use a portion of our cash flows from operations, proceeds from divestitures, securities offerings or other eligible capital to reduce the principal amount of our 2025 Notes outstanding debt or repurchase shares of our common stock under our repurchase program.
In November 2021, our board of directors approved a program for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $10.0 million. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time, in amounts and at prices that the company deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. During the first quarter 2023,three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased approximately 139 thousanddid not repurchase shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.5 million withand the remaining authorization under this program ofis $2.4 million.
In January 2024, we completed the Variperm Acquisition for consideration of approximately $150.0 million of cash (subject to customary purchase price adjustments) and 2.0 million shares of our common stock. We may pursue additional acquisitions in the future, which may be funded with cash and/or equity.
