Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and basis of presentation

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a global oilfield products company, serving the subsea, drilling, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. The Company designs and manufactures products, and engages in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services that complement the Company’s product offering.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's investment in an operating entity where the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, but does not control operating and financial policies, is accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of the net income of this entity is recorded as "Earnings from equity investment" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The investment in this entity is included in "Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company reports its share of equity earnings within operating income as the investee's operations are similar in nature to the operations of the Company.

In the opinion of management, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013 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 (the "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 ("GAAP") for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2013 (the "Annual Report").

2. Recent accounting pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which are adopted by the Company 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.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11") and in January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01— "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"). The issuance of ASU 2013-01 limited the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This update requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2013 with the appropriate disclosures and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB amended the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) of the Accounting Standards Codification that allows entities to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the relevant information, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than the carrying amount, no additional work is necessary. If an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, then the entity is required to proceed to the quantitative approach. The amended guidance is effective for the Company in the

annual test in the fourth quarter of 2013 and adoption is not expected to impact consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

3. Acquisitions

Contingent consideration from 2011 acquisitions

The total purchase consideration for two acquisitions completed in 2011, Wood Flowline Products, LLC ("WFP") and Phoinix Global, LLC ("Phoinix"), included two separate contingent consideration payments based on each of the acquired company's 2011 and 2012 calendar year earnings as defined in the applicable purchase and sale agreement. The contingent consideration payment related to the WFP acquisition included a portion payable in shares. Upon resolution of the results of operations for WFP for the year ended December 31, 2011, the portion of the contingent consideration payable in shares of the Company's common stock was finalized and $3.3 million was reclassified to equity in March 2012. The cash portion of the contingent consideration payments based on WFP's and Phoinix's 2011 earnings in the amount of $6.1 million and $12.1 million, respectively, were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Upon resolution of the results of operations for WFP for the year ended December 31, 2012, the portion of the contingent consideration payable in shares of the Company's common stock was finalized and $4.1 million was reclassified to equity in May 2013. The cash portion of the contingent consideration payments based on WFP's and Phoinix's 2012 earnings in the amount of $3.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

4. Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company jointly purchased Global Tubing, LLC ("Global Tubing") with an equal partner, with management retaining a small interest. Global Tubing is a Dayton, Texas based provider of coiled tubing strings and related services. The Company's equity investment is reported in the Production & Infrastructure segment and is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As part of the purchase, the Company paid $113.0 million to purchase all of the shares of ARC Global Tubing, L.P., the only asset of ARC Global Tubing, L.P. being its interest in Global Tubing. Our partner purchased the remaining interest in Global Tubing, not directly retained by management. In conjunction with the purchase, the joint venture made distributions to the new owners from borrowed funds. The Company received a disproportionate share totaling $64.2 million, making each partner's net investment $48.8 million. The investment in the unconsolidated subsidiary was increased at the time of purchase by approximately $10.6 million to record a deferred tax liability, causing the gross investment recorded to equal $59.4 million. This deferred tax liability is related to the difference between our investment in the unconsolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes and our outside tax basis in the limited liability company. Since the initial investment, the Company recorded $2.9 million of earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and therefore, the investment was $62.3 million at September 30, 2013.

5. Inventories

The Company's significant components of inventory at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

7. Debt

Notes payable and lines of credit as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following (in thousands):



	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Senior secured revolving credit line	$	244,000		$	122,480
Senior secured term loan	285,000			296,250
Other debt	2,100			1,975
Total debt	531,100			420,705
Less: current maturities	(31,110		)	(20,504		)
Long-term debt	$	499,990		$	400,201

The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with several financial institutions as lenders, which provides for a $600.0 million revolving credit line with up to $75.0 million available for letters of credit and up to $25.0 million in swingline loans, and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $285.0 million at September 30, 2013. The Credit Facility matures in October 2016. Weighted average interest rates under the Credit Facility (without the effect of hedging) at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 2.44% and 2.21%, respectively.

Availability under the Credit Facility was approximately $343.1 million at September 30, 2013. There have been no changes to the financial covenants disclosed in Item 7 of the Annual Report and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company issued $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum ("Senior Unsecured Notes"). The Senior Unsecured Notes mature on October 1, 2021 and were issued at par. The Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of $293.0 million to repay the then-outstanding term loan balance and a portion of the revolving credit facility balance. The estimated term over which debt issue costs related to the term loan were being amortized was revised in connection with the anticipated repayment of the term loan. Accordingly, debt issue costs that had been previously capitalized of $2.1 million were charged to expense in September 2013. Approximately $7.6 million of debt issue costs related to the Senior Unsecured Notes were capitalized.

The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's Credit Facility and rank junior to, among other indebtedness, the Company’s Credit Facility. The Senior Unsecured Notes contain customary covenants including certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, redeem or prepay subordinated debt, create liens, pay dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, create unrestricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and effect consolidations or mergers. Many of these restrictions will terminate if the Senior Unsecured Notes become rated investment grade. The indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults; defaults for failure to comply with other covenants in the indenture; cross-acceleration; entry of final judgments in excess of $50.0 million; and certain events of bankruptcy, in certain cases subject to notice and grace periods. The Company is required to offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes in connection with specified change in control events or with excess proceeds of asset sales not applied for permitted purposes.

8. Income taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 30.8% and 32.4%, respectively. The tax provision is lower than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due to a higher proportion of our earnings being generated outside the United States in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on the Company's relative mix of U.S. and non-U.S. earnings. The effective tax rate was 29.6% and 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is lower than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due to a higher proportion of our earnings being derived in jurisdictions outside the U.S. subject to lower tax rates. In addition, both of these quarterly periods benefited from the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions attributable

to matters in jurisdictions for which either examinations by tax authorities were concluded or the statute of limitations on assessments expired during the respective quarter.

9. Fair value measurements

The Company had interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $75.0 million that were executed to provide an economic hedge against interest rate risk. These swaps were not designated for hedge accounting at inception and were recorded at fair value, which is measured using the market approach valuation technique. These swaps had a fixed rate of 1.83% and expired in August 2013. The realized gains and losses are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the swap agreements was recorded as a short-term liability of $0.7 million.

In connection with the acquisitions of WFP and Phoinix, the total consideration included contingent consideration payments. The fair value of the contingent consideration for these acquisitions was estimated at the time of the respective acquisitions based on internal valuations of the earnings levels that the acquired companies were expected to achieve. The fair value was re-measured quarterly until finalized as of December 31, 2012 upon resolution of the 2012 calendar year earnings and the fair values were no longer variable after that time. These amounts were paid out during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further discussion.

At September 30, 2013, the carrying value of the Credit Facility was $529.1 million. Substantially all of the debt incurs interest at a variable interest rate and, 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.

There were no other outstanding financial assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company did not change its 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.

11. Earnings per share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each period presented was as follows (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net Income attributable to common stockholders	$	33,141	$	40,923	$	95,000	$	127,526

Average shares outstanding (basic)	91,443		84,993		90,347		78,041
Common stock equivalents	3,291		7,346		4,180		6,899
Diluted shares	94,734		92,339		94,527		84,940
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share	$	0.36	$	0.48	$	1.05	$	1.63
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.35	$	0.44	$	1.01	$	1.50

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes approximately 0.3 million and 1.2 million stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 0.3 million and 0.9 million stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive as the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock.

12. 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, 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 considered to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. The reserves accrued at September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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.

13. Stockholders' equity

Warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company's largest shareholder converted all of its 6,366,072 warrants pursuant to the terms of a warrant agreement and received 4,227,358 shares the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 370,000 warrants remained outstanding and were recorded to stockholders' equity at their fair value of $1.94 per warrant, which was determined at the time of issuance.

The remaining warrants expire the earlier of October 11, 2014 or upon the occurrence of certain other events.

Share-based compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted 342,880 options and 492,140 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, which includes 110,720 performance share awards with a market condition. The stock options were granted on February 21, 2013 with an exercise price of $26.05. Of the restricted stock or restricted stock units granted, 359,820 vest ratably over four years on the anniversary of the grant date. On February 21, 2013, 21,600 shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units were granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which have a thirteen month vesting period from the date of grant. The performance share awards granted may settle for between zero and two shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares issued pursuant to the performance share awards will be determined based on the total shareholder return of the Company's common stock as compared to a group of peer companies, measured annually over a three-year performance period.

14. Related party transactions

The Company entered into lease agreements for office and warehouse space with former owners of acquired companies or affiliates of a director. The dollar amounts related to these related party activities are not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company purchased inventory, services and fixed assets from an affiliate of a director in amounts totaling $4.5 million and $3.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company sold $1.0 million and $1.1 million of equipment and services to an affiliate of a director during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Overview

We are a global oilfield products company, serving the subsea, drilling, completion, production and infrastructure sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. We design, manufacture and distribute products, and engage in aftermarket services, parts supply and related services that complement our product offering. Our product offering includes a mix of highly engineered capital products and frequently replaced items that are consumed in the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas. Our capital products are directed at: drilling rig equipment for new rigs, upgrades and refurbishment projects; subsea construction and development projects; the placement of production equipment on new producing wells; and downstream capital projects. Our engineered systems are critical components used on drilling rigs or in the course of subsea operations, while our consumable products are used to maintain efficient and safe operations at well sites in the well construction process, within the supporting infrastructure, and at processing centers and refineries. Historically, a little more than half of our revenue is derived from activity-based consumable products, while the balance is derived from capital products and a small amount from rental and other services.

We seek to design, manufacture and supply reliable products that create value for our diverse customer base, which includes, among others, oil and gas operators, land and offshore drilling contractors, well stimulation and intervention service providers, subsea construction and service companies, and pipeline and refinery operators.

We operate in two business segments:

•

Drilling & Subsea segment. We design and manufacture products and provide related services to the subsea, drilling, well construction, completion and intervention markets. Through this segment, we offer robotic vehicles and other capital equipment, specialty components and tooling, a broad suite of complementary subsea technical services and rental items, and applied products for subsea pipelines; capital equipment and a broad line of products consumed in the drilling and well intervention process; and cementing and casing tools, completion products, and a range of downhole protection solutions.

•

Production & Infrastructure segment. We design and manufacture products and provide related equipment and services to the well stimulation, completion, production and infrastructure markets. Through this segment, we supply well stimulation consumable products and related recertification and refurbishment services; well site production equipment, process equipment and specialty pipeline construction equipment; and a broad range of industrial and process valves.

Market Conditions

The demand for our products and services is ultimately driven by energy prices and the expectation of exploration and production companies relating to future trends in those prices. Management believes that the long-term fundamentals underlying the global demand for energy, such as long-term economic and demographic trends, remain strong. The level of demand for our products and services is directly related to the capital budgets of our customers, which in turn are influenced heavily by the outlook for energy prices.

The table below shows average crude oil and natural gas prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI), United Kingdom Brent crude oil (Brent), and Henry Hub natural gas:



	Three months ended
	September 30,		June 30,		September 30,
	2013		2013		2012
Average global oil, $/bbl
West Texas Intermediate	$	105.78	$	94.14	$	91.49
United Kingdom Brent	$	110.07	$	103.43	$	108.80

Average North American Natural Gas, $/Mcf
Henry Hub	$	3.55	$	4.02	$	2.85

Crude oil prices appear adequate to generally maintain the current level of exploration and production activity, including the development of deepwater prospects, which stimulate demand for our subsea products and services. Current oil prices are also supporting a generally steady level of oil related activity, both offshore and onshore. Despite some improvement in 2013, low levels of North American natural gas prices have negatively impacted certain areas of our business, principally those tied to products and services we provide to the pressure pumping service sector and the land based drilling industry.

Corresponding to the commodity price levels, the average active rig count data below, based on the weekly Baker Hughes Incorporated rig count, reflect a broad measure of industry activity and resultant demand for our drilling and production related products and services.

The average U.S. rig count remained relatively flat from the second quarter 2013. However, demand for both consumable and capital products for drilling rigs and our flow equipment products are starting to experience a modest recovery. Our valves product line has experienced recent softening of demand as some infrastructure projects have been delayed.

Results of operations

We made two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture in the third quarter 2013 and four acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2012. For additional information about these acquisitions and investment, see Note 3 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this quarterly report. For this reason, our results of operations for the 2013 period presented may not be comparable to historical results of operations for the 2012 period.

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $42.4 million, or 12.2%, to $390.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our Drilling & Subsea segment and our Production & Infrastructure segment comprised 63.6% and 36.4% of our total revenue, respectively, which compared to 58.6% and 41.4% of total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The changes in revenue by operating segment consisted of the following:

Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue increased $44.5 million, or 21.8%, to $248.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily attributable to recent acquisitions in the third quarter 2013 and fourth quarter 2012, and increased sales of remotely operated vehicles, offset by lower shipments of some drilling products compared to the year earlier period.

Production & Infrastructure segment — Revenue decreased $1.4 million, or 0.9%, to $142.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in shipments of valves for large projects.

Segment operating income and segment operating margin percentage

Segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2013, decreased $4.2 million, or 6.8%, to $56.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue for the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the segment operating margin percentage of 14.5% represents a decline of 290 basis points from the 17.4% operating margin percentage for three months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company undertook several actions in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to adjust its cost structure in line with lower North American activity levels. Included in segment operating income for the period was $6.5 million in charges for severance and facility closures. In addition, equity in earnings from the Company’s investment in Global Tubing, LLC included a $0.8 million charge for transaction expenses related to the investment.

Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage decreased 320 basis points to 17.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 20.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the severance and facility closure charges, the adjusted operating margin percentage of 19.6% is down 70 basis points compared to the year earlier period. The decline in operating margin percentage is attributable to increased shipments of downhole products destined for lower margin international projects and reduced shipments of higher margin hydraulic catwalks, partially offset by improved margins on remotely operated vehicle sales. Sales, general and administrative costs as a percent of revenue remained consistent.

Production & Infrastructure segment — Operating margin percentage declined 270 basis points to 15.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 17.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decline in operating margin was primarily attributable to manufacturing delays and increased costs related to a significant order in the production equipment product line. We also experienced a shift in valves product mix depressing margins from the very strong year earlier period. Margins benefited from the inclusion of equity in earnings of the Global Tubing LLC joint venture in the current period. Otherwise, margins were down in the flow equipment product line from the year earlier period.

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate increased by $1.2 million, or 19.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to higher personnel costs and various professional fees primarily associated with being a publicly traded company and complying with applicable regulations. Corporate costs included, among other items, payroll related costs for general management and management of finance and administration, legal, human resources and information technology; professional fees for external legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs. Corporate costs also included $0.4 million in severance charges.

Other items not included in segment operating income

Several items are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income. These items include: contingent consideration, transaction expenses and gains/losses from the sale of assets. The contingent consideration credit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was related to two 2011 acquisitions for which part of the purchase price was payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock based on the earnings of the acquired entities through the end of 2012. The change in the amount of the accrual was recorded as part of operating income, and the reduction in the estimated amount of this obligation at the time resulted in an increase to operating income of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Transaction expenses relate to legal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are not considered to be part of segment operating income. Including $0.8 million reported as part of equity in earnings of Global Tubing, LLC, transaction expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily attributable to additional costs incurred for two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture closed effective July 1, 2013, and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and deferred loan costs written off. We incurred $4.4 million of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $0.8 million from the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was attributable to an increase in debt incurred to finance the two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture completed in the third quarter 2013 and a 25 basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under the Credit Facility as the increased debt moved us into a higher pricing tier.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we issued $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum ("Senior Unsecured Notes"). We used the net proceeds from the issuance of $293.0 million to repay the then-outstanding term loan balance and a portion of the revolving credit facility balance. The estimated term over which debt issue costs related to the term loan were being amortized was revised in connection with the anticipated repayment of the term loan. Accordingly, debt issue costs that had been previously capitalized of $2.1 million were charged to expense in September 2013. Approximately $7.6 million of debt issue costs related to the Senior Unsecured Notes were capitalized.

Taxes

Tax expense includes current income taxes expected to be due based on taxable income to be reported during the periods in the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business, and deferred income taxes based on changes in the tax effect of temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes at the beginning and end of the respective periods. The effective tax rate, calculated by dividing total tax expense by income before income taxes, was 29.6% and 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is lower than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due to a higher proportion of our earnings being derived in jurisdictions outside the U.S. subject to lower tax rates. In addition, both periods benefited from the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions attributable to matters in jurisdictions for which either examinations by tax authorities were concluded or the statute of limitations on assessments expired during the respective quarter.

Revenue

Our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $46.3 million, or 4.3%, to $1,131.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Drilling & Subsea segment and our Production & Infrastructure segment comprised 60.1% and 39.9% of our total revenue, respectively, which was consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The revenue increase by operating segment consisted of the following:

Drilling & Subsea segment — Revenue increased $39.9 million, or 6.2%, to $679.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily attributable to recent acquisitions in the third quarter of 2013 and fourth quarter of 2012, and increased sales of subsea remotely operated vehicles, offset by lower shipments of some drilling products compared to the year earlier period.

Production & Infrastructure segment — Revenue increased $7.1 million, or 1.6%, to $452.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily attributable to the increases in production equipment and valves. Partially offsetting these increases, revenues from the sale of well stimulation products decreased as orders from our customers remain at significantly lower levels compared to the 2012 period.

Segment operating income and segment operating margin percentage

Segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as reported, decreased $44.2 million, or 22.2%, to $154.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.The segment operating margin percentage is calculated by dividing segment operating income by revenue for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the segment operating margin percentage of 13.7% represents a decline of 460 basis points from the 18.3% operating margin percentage for nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company undertook several actions recently to adjust its cost structure in line with lower North American activity levels. Included in segment operating income for the nine month period was $6.5 million in charges for severance and facility closures. In addition, equity in earnings from the Company’s investment in Global Tubing LLC included a $0.8 million charge for transaction expenses related to the investment.

Drilling & Subsea segment — The operating margin percentage decreased 460 basis points to 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the severance and facility closure charges, the adjusted operating margin percentage of 17.2% is down 370 basis points compared to the year earlier period. The decline in operating margin percentage is primarily attributable to reduced activity levels in the drilling product line which results in higher fixed cost per unit; increased shipments of downhole products destined for lower margin international projects; offset partially by improved margins on remotely operated vehicle sales.

Production & Infrastructure segment — Operating margin percentage declined 350 basis points to 14.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 18.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The declines in operating margin percentage are primarily attributable to lower margins in well stimulation products, where we experienced lower margins on significantly lower activity levels and increased pricing pressure due to excess inventory in the overall market, offset partially by the inclusion of equity in earnings of the Global Tubing LLC joint venture.

Corporate — Selling, general and administrative expenses for Corporate increased by $6.5 million, or 43.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to higher personnel costs and various professional fees primarily associated with being a publicly traded company and complying with applicable regulations as more than half of the prior period was before our initial public offering. Corporate costs included, among other items, payroll related costs for general management and management of finance and administration, legal, human resources and information technology; professional fees for external legal, accounting and related services; and marketing costs. Corporate costs also included $0.4 million in severance charges.

Other items not included in segment operating income

Several items are not included in segment operating income, but are included in total operating income. These items include: contingent consideration, impairment of intangible assets, transaction expenses and gains/losses from the sale of assets. The contingent consideration credit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was related to two acquisitions in 2011 in which part of the purchase price was payable in cash and/or shares of the our common stock based on the earnings of the acquired entities through the end of 2012. The change in the amount of the accrual was recorded as part of operating income, and the reduction in estimated amount of this obligation at the time resulted in an increase to operating income of $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an impairment loss of $1.2 million was recorded on certain intangible assets resulting from a lack of orders related to a specific service line. Transaction expenses relate to legal and other advisory costs incurred in acquiring businesses and are not considered to be part of segment operating income. Including $0.8 million reported as part of equity in earnings of Global Tubing LLC, transaction costs were $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily attributable to additional costs incurred for two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture closed effective July 1, 2013, and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions, for further information.

Other income and expense

Other income and expense includes interest expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and deferred loan costs written off. We incurred $10.8 million of interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $2.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a lower debt level as we repaid a portion of our debt from operating cash flows and from the net proceeds of our initial public offering and concurrent private placement during the second quarter 2012, partially offset by an increase in debt incurred to finance the two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture completed in the third quarter 2013.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company issued $300.0 million of Senior Unsecured Notes. The estimated term over which debt issue costs related to the term loan repaid in connection with the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes were being amortized was revised in connection with the anticipated repayment of the term loan. Accordingly, debt issue costs that had been previously capitalized of $2.1 million were charged to expense in September 2013. Approximately $7.6 million of debt issue costs related to the Senior Unsecured Notes were capitalized.

Taxes

Tax expense includes current income taxes expected to be due based on taxable income to be reported during the periods in the various jurisdictions in which we conduct business, and deferred income taxes based on changes in the tax effect of temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes at the beginning and end of the respective periods. The effective tax rate, calculated by dividing total tax expense by income before income taxes, was 30.8% and 32.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is lower than the comparable period in 2012 primarily due to a higher proportion of our earnings being generated outside the United States in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and total debt of $531.1 million. We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and amounts available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations for the foreseeable future.

Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we issued $300.0 million of Senior Unsecured Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum. The Senior Unsecured Notes mature on October 1, 2021 and were issued at par. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of $293.0 million to repay the then-outstanding term loan balance and a portion of the revolving credit facility balance.

and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, redeem or prepay subordinated debt, create liens, pay dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, create unrestricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and effect consolidations or mergers. Many of these restrictions will terminate if the Senior Unsecured Notes become rated investment grade. The indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults; defaults for failure to comply with other covenants in the indenture; cross-acceleration; entry of final judgments in excess of $50.0 million; and certain events of bankruptcy, in certain cases subject to notice and grace periods. The Company is required to offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes in connection with specified change in control events or with excess proceeds of asset sales not applied for permitted purposes.

We currently expect our total 2013 capital expenditure to be approximately $60.0 million, which consists of, among other items, investments in constructing or expanding certain manufacturing facilities, purchases of machinery and equipment, expansion of our rental fleet of subsea equipment, and general maintenance capital expenditures of approximately $25.0 million. This budget does not include possible expenditures for future business acquisitions.

Although we do not budget for acquisitions, pursuing growth through acquisitions is a significant part of our business strategy. We expanded and diversified our product portfolio with the acquisition of two businesses and an investment in a joint venture in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and four businesses in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 for total consideration (net of cash acquired) of approximately $230.0 million and $139.5 million, respectively. We used cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Facility to finance these acquisitions. We continue to actively review acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis. Our ability to make significant additional acquisitions for cash may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are presented below (in millions):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	164.1		$	74.7
Net cash used in investing activities	(273.7		)	(35.8		)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	99.3			(41.9		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(12.9	)	$	(2.6	)

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $164.1 million and $74.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. While net income decreased to $95.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $127.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash provided by operations increased as a result of lower incremental investments in working capital, primarily inventory, as compared to the prior year.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $273.7 million and $35.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a $237.9 million increase. The increase was attributable to the consideration paid for the two acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture closed in 2013, while there were no acquisitions closed in the prior year period. The balance of the increase results from the higher investment in property and equipment of $44.7 million in the 2013 period compared to an investment of $37.8 million during 2012. Additionally, net proceeds from sale of property and equipment of $0.7 million during the 2013 period was 4.1 million lower than the net proceeds of $4.8 million in the 2012 period.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $99.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and consisted primarily of net borrowings of long-term debt of $110.2 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and consisted primarily of (1) net proceeds from our initial public offering and concurrent private placement, which were used to pay down a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility, and (2) payment of contingent consideration.

Credit Facility

Our Credit Facility provides for a $600.0 million revolving credit line, with up to $75.0 million available for letters of credit and up to $25.0 million in swingline loans, and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $285.0 million at September 30, 2013. Our revolving Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $244.0 million at September 30, 2013 and matures in October 2016. Weighted average interest rates under our Credit Facility (without the effect of hedging) at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 2.44% and 2.21%, respectively. Net proceeds of $293.0 million from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes issued subsequent to September 30, 2013 were used to repay the outstanding term loan balance and a portion of the revolving credit facility balance.

Future borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility will be available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. It is anticipated that the revolving portion of the Credit Facility will be available to be drawn on and repaid during the term thereof as long as we are in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, including certain financial covenants. Availability under our Credit Facility, giving effect to the financial covenants provided therein, was approximately $361.9 million as of October 31, 2013.

There have been no changes to the Credit Facility financial covenants disclosed in Item 7 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and we were in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet instruments or financial arrangements, other than operating leases entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Contractual obligations

Except for net borrowings under the revolving portion of our Credit Facility as discussed above, as of September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the Annual Report.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
