Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of the Business ChampionX Corporation is a global leader in chemistry solutions, artificial lift systems, and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely, efficiently, and sustainably around the world. Our expertise, innovative products, and digital technologies provide enhanced oil and gas production, transportation, and real-time emissions monitoring throughout the lifecycle of a well. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “ChampionX” mean ChampionX Corporation, together with its subsidiaries where the context requires. Merger Agreement On April 2, 2024, ChampionX entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Schlumberger Limited, a Curaçao corporation (“SLB”), Sodium Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB, (“Holdco”), and Sodium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SLB and Holdco (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ChampionX (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with ChampionX surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and by virtue of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ChampionX issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of ChampionX common stock held in the treasury of ChampionX or held by SLB, Holdco or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB, in each case except for any such shares held on behalf of third parties) will be converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right to receive 0.735 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SLB (“SLB Common Stock”), which shares will be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable laws (the “Equity Consideration”) and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of ChampionX and SLB. In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including the consummation of a competing acquisition proposal within 12 months of the termination of the Merger Agreement for certain specified reasons, ChampionX would be required to pay SLB a termination fee of $265.4 million. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including the termination (1) by either party if certain Mutual Legal Restraints (as defined below) exist, specified regulatory approvals have not been obtained or if the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or prior to April 2, 2025 (subject to an automatic extension to October 2, 2025 under specified circumstances) and the parties will have satisfied conditions to the Merger (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) by SLB under specified circumstances, SLB would be required to pay ChampionX a termination fee of $326.6 million. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Significant Accounting Policies Please refer to “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for the discussion of our significant accounting policies. New Accounting Standards Issued In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires a public business entity to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. A significant segment expense is an expense that is significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, and included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure”

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE Our revenue is generated primarily from product sales. Service revenue is generated from providing services to our customers. These services include installation, repair and maintenance, laboratory and logistics services, chemical management services, troubleshooting, reporting, water treatment services, technical advisory assistance, emissions detection and monitoring, and other field services. Lease revenue is derived from rental income of leased production equipment. As our costs are shared across the various revenue categories, cost of goods sold is not tracked separately and is not discretely identifiable. In certain geographical areas, the Company utilizes joint ventures and independent third-party distributors and sales agents to sell and market products and services. Amounts payable to independent third-party distributors and sales agents may fluctuate based on sales and timing of distributor fee payments. For services rendered by such independent third-party distributors and sales agents, the Company records the consideration received on a net basis within product revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, amounts owed to distributors and sales agents are reported within accrued distributor fees within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue disaggregated by geography was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands) Production Chemical Technologies Production & Automation Technologies Drilling Technologies Reservoir Chemical Technologies Corporate and other (1) Total United States $ 261,141 $ 190,953 $ 40,321 $ 12,818 $ — $ 505,233 Latin America 64,263 6,751 124 4,681 — 75,819 Middle East & Africa 93,967 14,715 2,031 7,521 (803) 117,431 Canada 79,374 15,187 4,083 467 — 99,111 Europe 45,985 3,123 5,373 1,173 — 55,654 Asia-Pacific 20,620 1,972 956 459 — 24,007 Australia 4,227 11,786 — 4 — 16,017 Other — — — — — — Total revenue $ 569,577 $ 244,487 $ 52,888 $ 27,123 $ (803) $ 893,272 Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands) Production Chemical Technologies Production & Automation Technologies Drilling Technologies Reservoir Chemical Technologies Corporate and other (1) Total United States $ 236,917 $ 197,655 $ 44,233 $ 11,677 $ 7,014 $ 497,496 Latin America 116,083 5,457 — 3,044 752 125,336 Middle East & Africa 81,776 14,756 2,967 7,123 (53) 106,569 Canada 72,403 15,648 2,922 540 7 91,520 Europe 53,415 4,980 6,544 775 2,494 68,208 Asia-Pacific 8,572 3,527 658 692 6,751 20,200 Australia 5,136 12,133 — 2 — 17,271 Other — — — — — — Total revenue $ 574,302 $ 254,156 $ 57,324 $ 23,853 $ 16,965 $ 926,600 ______________________ (1) The sales related to the Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement with Ecolab were included within Corporate and other from June 3, 2020 through June 30, 2023.

On June 7, 2022, we entered into a restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates the prior credit agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $625.0 million seven-year senior secured term loan B facility (the “2022 Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million, of which $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility,” and, together with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Proceeds from future borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The initial amount drawn under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility has been repaid. As of June 30, 2024, we had no amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2022 Term Loan Facility matures June 7, 2029 and the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility matures June 7, 2027. The 2022 Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory amortization payments of 1% per annum of the initial commitment paid quarterly, which began on December 30, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default for loan facilities of this type. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024. On September 29, 2023, we amended the Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, reprice the Company’s $620.3 million of existing term loans under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, in connection with which new term loans in the same amount were issued. The new term loans bear interest at a per annum rate of (i) an adjusted SOFR Rate plus 2.75% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. The new term loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs in the case of the SOFR rate loans. On June 29, 2022, the Company executed a five-year amortizing floating-to-fixed interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to increases in variable interest rates on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. This interest rate swap agreement is based on a $300.0 million notional amount for the first three years, reducing to $150.0 million for years four and five. See Note 11—Fair Value Measurements and Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Transactions for additional information on interest rate swaps.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	6 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to, among other things, workers’ compensation, general liability (including product liability), automobile claims, health care claims, environmental matters, and lawsuits. We record liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In accordance with applicable GAAP, the Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred. Guarantees and Indemnifications We have provided indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including indemnities for environmental health and safety, tax, and employment matters. We do not have any material liabilities recorded for these indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $75.5 million and $70.7 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees, which expire at various dates through 2039. These financial instruments are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty, and other performance obligations. Generally, we would only be liable for the amount of these letters of credit, surety bonds, and guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote. Litigation and Environmental Matters The Company is party to various proceedings and claims incidental to its business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. We review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and accrued to date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We accrue a liability for legal matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental Matters The Company is currently participating in environmental assessments and remediation at approximately 8 locations, the majority of which are in the United States (“U.S.”). Environmental liabilities have been accrued to reflect our best estimate of future costs. Potential insurance reimbursements are not anticipated in the Company’s accruals for environmental liabilities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, environmental liability accruals related to these locations were $5.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Prior to the commencement of our operations as an independent publicly traded company in 2018, groundwater contamination was discovered at the Norris Sucker Rods plant site located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Initial remedial efforts were undertaken at the time of discovery of the contamination and we have since coordinated monitoring and remediation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (“ODEQ”). As part of the ongoing long-term remediation process, we contracted an engineering and consulting firm to develop a range of possible additional remedial alternatives in order to accelerate the remediation process and associated cost estimates for the work. In October 2019, we received the firm’s preliminary remedial alternatives for consideration. We have submitted our long-term remediation plan and it was approved by ODEQ. We are now in discussion with ODEQ to finalize a consent order. Because we have not yet finalized the consent order for further remediation at the site and discussions with ODEQ remain ongoing, we cannot fully anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of such further remedial activities, financial or otherwise. As a result of the recommendations in the report, we accrued liabilities for these remediation efforts of approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Liabilities could increase in the future at such time as we ultimately reach agreement with ODEQ on our remediation plan and such liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated; however, there have been no changes to our estimated liability as of June 30, 2024. Matters Related to Deepwater Horizon Incident Response On April 22, 2010, the deepwater drilling platform, the Deepwater Horizon, operated by a subsidiary of BP plc, sank in the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion and fire, resulting in a massive oil spill. Certain entities that are now subsidiaries of ChampionX as a result of the acquisition of the Chemical Technologies business in 2020 (collectively the “COREXIT Defendants”) supplied COREXIT™ 9500, an oil dispersant product listed on the U.S. EPA National Contingency Plan Product Schedule, which was used in the response to the spill. In connection with the provision of COREXIT™ 9500, the COREXIT Defendants were named in several lawsuits. Cases arising out of the Deepwater Horizon accident were administratively transferred and consolidated for pre-trial purposes under In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010, Case No. 10-md-02179 in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana (E.D. La.) (“MDL 2179”). Claims related to the response to the oil spill were consolidated in a master complaint captioned the “B3 Master Complaint.” In 2011, Transocean Deepwater Drilling, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Transocean Entities”) named the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated companies as first party defendants (In re the Complaint and Petition of Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, et al, MDL No. 2179, Civil Action 10-2771). In April and May 2011, the Transocean Entities, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively, the “Cross Claimants”) filed cross claims in MDL 2179 against the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated cross defendants. In April and June 2011, in support of its defense of the claims against it, the COREXIT Defendants filed counterclaims against the Cross Claimants. On May 18, 2012, the COREXIT Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims in the B3 Master Complaint. On November 28, 2012, the Court granted the COREXIT Defendants’ motion and dismissed with prejudice the claims in the B3 Master Complaint asserted against the COREXIT Defendants. In February 2024, the remaining claims against other defendants in the one pending “B3” case that had asserted claims against the COREXIT Defendants were dismissed and a final judgment was entered. The deadline for that plaintiff to appeal any rulings in that case, including the MDL 2179 Court’s order granting Nalco’s motion for summary judgment, expired on March 11, 2024. The Company intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits and also believes that it has rights to contribution and/or indemnification (including legal expenses) from third parties. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the involvement it might have in these matters in the future, or the potential for future litigation.

The purpose of the acquisition is to create growth opportunities in the artificial lift business internationally. We paid $106.0 million for the acquired assets and liabilities, which will be included in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. Divestitures Russia Due to the deteriorating business conditions in Russia following the Ukraine invasion and the resultant sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, and United Kingdom, we initiated a plan to dispose of our operations in Russia (the “CT Russia Business”), which is included in our Production Chemical Technologies segment. As a result, the CT Russia Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2022 and we measured the carrying value of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We assess the fair value of the CT Russia Business (less any costs to sell) each reporting period that it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. During the first quarter of 2023, we assessed the fair value less cost to sell the business to be zero, resulting in a $13.0 million pre-tax impairment expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which is reflected in loss (gain) on disposal group and sale-leaseback transaction within our condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no charges in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024. Sale Leaseback Orem, Utah On March 29, 2024, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with an unrelated party involving three buildings in Orem, Utah. Under the arrangement, the property (land and buildings) with a net book value of $14.1 million was sold for $45.5 million and leased back under a twenty year lease agreement. We received cash of $44.3 million, net of closing costs and other fees related to the sale of the property. The lease provides for annual base payments of $3.3 million and expires in March 2044 with an option to extend the term of the lease for one additional seven-year period. The transaction qualifies as a sale

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels: Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available. The carrying amount and the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows: Carrying Amount (in thousands) Measurement Level June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Assets Foreign currency forward contracts Level 2 $ 4,067 $ 6,231 Interest rate swaps Level 2 7,883 5,599 Total $ 11,950 $ 11,830 Liabilities Foreign currency forward contracts Level 2 $ 2,741 $ 5,354 Interest rate swaps Level 2 — — Total $ 2,741 $ 5,354 The carrying value of foreign currency forward contracts is at fair value, which is determined based on foreign currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and is classified within Level 2. The primary inputs into the valuation of interest rate swaps are interest yield curves, interest rate volatility, and credit spreads. Our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as these significant inputs are corroborated by observable market data. For purposes of fair value disclosure above, derivative values are presented gross. See Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Transactions for further discussion of gross versus net presentation of the Company’s derivatives. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of our term loan facility is based on Level 2 quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments. The fair value of the revolving line of credit approximates carrying value due to the variable interest rates charged on the borrowings, which reprice frequently (Level 2). The carrying amount and the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, held by the Company were: June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 (in thousands) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value 2022 Revolving Credit Facility $ — $ — $ — $ — 2022 Term Loan Facility $ 615,660 $ 619,508 $ 618,762 $ 623,402

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS	DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also utilizes floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges on certain debt to mitigate interest rate risk. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. Derivative contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. We evaluated the interest rate swap hedge effectiveness and determined it to be perfectly effective. We evaluate foreign currency forward contracts’ hedge effectiveness at contract inception and thereafter on a quarterly basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot exchange rates for derivative contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings and are presented in the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge, thus the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in AOCI and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective debt. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. We monitor our exposure to credit risk by using major banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitoring their financial condition and credit profile. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and therefore, recording a valuation allowance against the Company’s derivative balance is not considered necessary. Derivative Positions Summary Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to settle with the same counterparties. These arrangements generally do not call for collateral and as of the applicable dates presented in the following table, no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives. We have elected to present our derivative balances on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The following table summarizes the gross fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivatives and the lines in which they are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities (in thousands) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 9,612 $ 11,004 $ — $ — Other non-current assets 2,338 826 — — Accrued expenses and other current liabilities — — 2,741 5,354 $ 11,950 $ 11,830 $ 2,741 $ 5,354 The following table summarizes the notional values of the Company’s outstanding derivatives: (in thousands) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Notional value of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps $ 1,777,751 $ 892,711 Cash Flow Hedges The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, primarily related to business combinations and inventory purchases. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in AOCI until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the gain or loss is reclassified into the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. The forward points are marked-to-market monthly and recognized in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. Any unrealized gain or loss at the time of settlement will be reclassified to interest expense, where we record the interest expense on the associated debt. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset its exposure to the change in value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, which are remeasured at the end of each period. Although the contracts are effective economic hedges, they are not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in the value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income The loss of all derivative instruments recognized is summarized below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Loss (gain) reclassified from AOCI to income on cash flow hedges: Cost of goods and services $ 125 $ (966) $ (313) $ (1,923) Interest expense (1,703) (1,322) (3,417) (2,259) Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Other (income) expense, net (3,824) 906 (2,871) 2,347 Total loss (gain) of derivative instruments $ (5,402) $ (1,382) $ (6,601) $ (1,835)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACILITIES	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACILITIES On June 28, 2022, we entered into an uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreement (the “JPM Accounts Receivable Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the purchaser. The amount available for sale under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business. A maximum of $160.0 million in receivables may be sold and remain unpaid under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility at any time. On March 28, 2024, we entered into an uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreement (the “HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility” and, together with the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility, the “Accounts Receivable Facilities”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as the purchaser. The amount available for sale under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business. A maximum of CAD $40.0 million or approximately $30.0 million in receivables may be sold and remain unpaid under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility at any time. Accounts receivable sold under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility were $343.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The accounts receivables sold that remained outstanding under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $102.4 million. Accounts receivable sold under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility were $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The accounts receivables sold that remained outstanding under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $18.7 million. During this period, cash receipts from the purchaser at the time of the sale were classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the accounts receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The loss on sale of accounts receivable was $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility. The loss on sale of accounts receivable was $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
New Accounting Standards Issued	New Accounting Standards Issued In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires a public business entity to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. A significant segment expense is an expense that is significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, and included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure”

A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels: Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.
