SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 has not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein. The results of operations for the first nine months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

 

(2) Acquisitions

Complete Production Services, Inc.

On February 7, 2012, the Company acquired Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete) in a cash and stock merger transaction valued at approximately $2,914.8 million. Complete focused on providing specialized completion and production services and products that help oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce costs and enhance production. Complete’s operations were located throughout the U.S. and Mexico. The acquisition of Complete substantially expanded the size and scope of the Company’s services. Complete’s legacy businesses are currently reported in the Onshore Completion and Workover Services and the Production Services segments.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Complete stockholders received 0.945 of a share of the Company’s common stock and $7.00 cash for each share of Complete’s common stock outstanding at the time of the acquisition. In total, the Company paid approximately $553.3 million in cash and issued approximately 74.7 million shares of its common stock valued at approximately $2,308.2 million (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date of $30.90). Additionally, the Company paid $676.0 million, inclusive of a $26.0 million prepayment premium, to redeem $650 million of Complete’s 8.0% senior notes. The Company also assumed all outstanding stock options and shares of non-vested and unissued restricted stock beneficially owned by Complete’s employees and directors at the time of acquisition.

Acquisition related expenses totaled approximately $33.3 million, of which approximately $28.8 million was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The remainder was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2011. These acquisition related costs include expenses directly related to acquiring Complete and were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Other Acquisitions

In March 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in a company that provides cementing services to oil and gas companies in Colombia. This acquisition provides the Company with a platform for continued expansion in the South American market area. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company paid approximately $20.4 million at closing and will pay an additional $3.6 million over the next two years, subject to the settlement of certain liabilities. Goodwill of approximately $15.1 million was recognized as a result of this acquisition and was calculated as the excess of the consideration paid over the net assets recognized and represents estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. None of the goodwill related to this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Production Services segment.

In August 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in a company that provides mechanical wireline, electric line and well testing services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry in Argentina. The Company paid approximately $37.6 million in cash related to this acquisition, including approximately $6.5 million of contingent consideration paid in April 2013 based upon achievement of certain performance metrics.

(3) Dispositions

On February 15, 2012, the Company sold one of its derrick barges and received proceeds of approximately $44.5 million, inclusive of selling costs. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $3.1 million, inclusive of approximately $9.7 million of goodwill, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with this sale. This business was previously reported in the Company’s former Subsea and Well Enhancement segment. The operations and loss on the sale of this disposal group have been reported within loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of income.

On March 30, 2012, the Company sold 18 liftboats and related assets comprising its former Marine segment. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $138.6 million, inclusive of working capital and selling costs. In connection with the sale, the Company repaid approximately $12.5 million in U.S. Government guaranteed long-term financing. As a result of the repayment, the Company paid approximately $4.0 million of make-whole premiums and wrote off approximately $0.7 million of unamortized loan costs. The Company’s total pre-tax loss on the disposal of this segment was approximately $56.1 million, which includes a $46.1 million write off of long-lived assets and goodwill recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 in order to approximate the segment’s indicated fair value, and an additional loss of $10.0 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012, comprised of an approximate $3.6 million loss on sale of assets and approximately $6.4 million of additional costs related to the disposition.

The following table summarizes the components of loss from discontinued operations, net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in thousands):

The Company’s total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $27.7 million and $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

 

(5) Inventory and Other Current Assets

Inventory and other current assets includes approximately $159.6 million and $136.5 million of inventory at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s inventory balance at September 30, 2013 consisted of approximately $64.0 million of finished goods, $17.6 million of work-in-process, $22.1 million of raw materials and $55.9 million of supplies and consumables. The Company’s inventory balance at December 31, 2012 consisted of approximately $63.7 million of finished goods, $6.0 million of work-in-process, $5.0 million of raw materials and $61.8 million of supplies and consumables. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process. Supplies and consumables consist principally of products used in our services provided to customers.

On April 17, 2012, SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) (SandRidge) completed its acquisition of Dynamic Offshore Resources, LLC (Dynamic Offshore), at which time the Company received approximately $34.1 million in cash and approximately $51.6 million in shares of SandRidge common stock (approximately 7.0 million shares valued at $7.33 per share) as consideration for its 10% interest in Dynamic Offshore. In accordance with authoritative guidance related to equity securities, the Company is accounting for the shares received in this transaction as available-for-sale securities. The changes in fair values, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale securities are recorded as unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

The fair value of the approximately 1.5 million shares of SandRidge common stock held by the Company at September 30, 2013 was approximately $8.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an unrealized loss related to the fair value of these securities of $0.7 million, of which $0.5 million was reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefit of $0.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized loss related to

the fair value of these securities of $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million was reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefit of $0.4 million. The Company evaluates whether unrealized losses on investments in available-for-sale securities are other-than-temporary, and if it is believed the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

(6) Debt

In May 2013, the Company redeemed the remaining $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 6 7/8% unsecured senior notes due 2014 at 100% of face value using proceeds from the revolving portion of its credit facility. The redemption resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.9 million related to the writeoff of unamortized debt acquisition costs and note discount.

Credit Facility

The Company has a $1.0 billion bank credit facility, comprised of a $600 million revolving credit facility and a $400 million term loan. The principal balance of the term loan is payable in installments of $5.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter, which began on June 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the Company had $370 million outstanding under the term loan. At September 30, 2013, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving portion of its credit facility. The Company also had approximately $56.0 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduce the Company’s borrowing availability under this portion of the credit facility.

Any amounts outstanding on the revolving portion of the credit facility and the term loan are due on February 7, 2017. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margins that depend on the Company’s leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the pledge of the stock of the Company’s principal domestic subsidiaries. The credit facility contains customary events of default and requires that the Company satisfy various financial covenants. It also limits the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions, make changes to the Company’s capital structure, create liens or incur additional indebtedness. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company has outstanding $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes due 2019. The indenture governing the 6 3/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on May 1st and November 1st of each year through the maturity date of May 1, 2019. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

The Company also has outstanding $800 million of 7 1/8% unsecured senior notes due 2021. The indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15th and December 15th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

 

(7) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes the shares of non-vested restricted stock that were assumed by the Company as a result of the Complete acquisition. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options, conversion of restricted stock units and the vesting of outstanding restricted stock issued in the acquisition of Complete.

Stock options for approximately 1,100,000 and 2,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately 1,210,000 and 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share for these periods as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

(8) Decommissioning Liabilities

The Company records estimated future decommissioning liabilities in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to asset retirement obligations, which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the decommissioning liability is required to be accreted each period to present value.

Table of Contents

The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with the Bullwinkle platform and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related facilities and equipment, and site restoration. Whenever practical, the Company utilizes its own equipment and labor services to perform well abandonment and decommissioning work. When the Company performs these services, all recorded intercompany revenues and related costs of services are eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The recorded decommissioning liability associated with a specific property is fully extinguished when the property is abandoned. The recorded liability is first reduced by all cash expenses incurred to abandon and decommission the property. If the recorded liability exceeds (or is less than) the Company’s total costs, then the difference is reported as an increase or decrease in revenue during the period in which the work is performed.

The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows needed to satisfy the liability have changed materially. The Company reviews its estimates for the timing of these expenditures on a quarterly basis. As a result of continuing development activities, the Company revised its estimates during the second quarter of 2012 relating to the timing of decommissioning work on Bullwinkle assets, including a 10 year postponement of the platform decommissioning. This change in estimate resulted in a significant reduction in the present value of decommissioning liabilities.

The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s decommissioning liabilities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

(9) Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of oil and gas properties acquired by the Company towards the abandonment of the acquired property. Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, the Company will invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities. The gross amount of this obligation totaled $115.0 million and is recorded at present value using an effective interest rate of 6.58%. The related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of the platform’s removal. The Company recorded interest income related to notes receivable of $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

(10) Segment Information

Business Segments

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company revised the internal reporting structure that is used by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate the Company’s resources and, as a result, divided the Subsea and Well Enhancement segment into three segments that better reflect the Company’s product and service offerings throughout the life cycle of a well: Onshore Completion and Workover Services, Production Services, and Subsea and Technical Solutions. The Drilling Products and Services segment remains unchanged. Accordingly, all prior period segment disclosures have been recast to reflect this change in reporting structure.

The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells bottom hole assemblies, premium drill pipe, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities. It also provides on-site accommodations and bolting and machining services. The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides pressure pumping services used to complete and stimulate production in new oil and gas wells, fluid handling services and well servicing rigs that provide a variety of well completion, workover and maintenance services. The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services. It also provides specialized pressure control tools used to manage and control pressure throughout the life of a well. The Subsea and Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including integrated subsea services and engineering services, well control services, well containment systems, stimulation and sand control services and well plug and abandonment services. It also includes production handling arrangements and the production and sale of oil and gas.

(11) Guarantee

In accordance with authoritative guidance related to guarantees, the Company has assigned an estimated value of $2.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 related to decommissioning activities in connection with oil and gas properties acquired by the Company’s former subsidiary SPN Resources, LLC (SPN Resources) prior to its sale to Dynamic Offshore in March 2008. The guarantee is reflected in other long-term liabilities. The Company believes that the likelihood of being required to perform these guarantees is remote. In the unlikely event of default on any remaining decommissioning liabilities, the total maximum potential obligation under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately $105.1 million, net of the contractual right to receive payments from third parties, which is approximately $24.6 million, as of September 30, 2013. The total maximum potential obligation will decrease over time as the underlying obligations are fulfilled.

 

(12) Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements relating to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including presentation of required disclosures herein. This guidance establishes a fair value framework requiring the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets and liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Available-for-sale securities is comprised of approximately 1.5 million shares of SandRidge common stock that the Company received as partial consideration for its 10% interest in Dynamic Offshore (see note 5). The securities are reported at fair value based on the closing price of the shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

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

In July 2013, June 2013 and April 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements related to its fixed rate debt maturing in 2021 for notional amounts of $100 million each, whereby the Company is entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 7 1/8% per annum and is obligated to make semi-annual interest payments at floating rates, which are adjusted every 90 days, based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. The swap agreements, scheduled to terminate on December 15, 2021, are designated as fair value hedges of a portion of the Company’s 7 1/8% senior notes, as the derivative has been tested to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the underlying note. As these derivatives are classified as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset against the changes in the fair value of the underlying note in interest expense, net (see note 13). The Company previously had an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $150 million related to its 6 7/8% senior notes that was designated as a fair value hedge. In February 2012, the Company sold this interest rate swap to the counterparty for approximately $1.2 million.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s maximum contingent consideration payable as a result of prior acquisitions was approximately $3.5 million. The Company has recorded a current liability of approximately $0.1 million, which represents the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the maximum contingent consideration payable. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach at the acquisition and reporting date. The approach is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are referred to as Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on the acquired companies reaching specific performance metrics.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid approximately $6.5 million of contingent consideration related to its acquisition of a wireline and well testing company in 2012. The following table summarizes the activity recorded using fair value of Level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

In accordance with authoritative guidance, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. In determining estimated fair value of acquired goodwill, we use various sources and types of information, including, but not limited to, quoted market prices, replacement cost estimates, accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and existing carrying value of acquired assets. As necessary, we utilize third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining fair value of inventory, identifiable intangible assets, and any other significant assets or liabilities. During the measurement period and as necessary, we adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation if we obtain more information regarding asset valuations and liabilities assumed. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company revised its fair value estimate of contingent consideration payable due to changes in certain performance metrics. The adjustment was recorded in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of income.

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and current maturities of long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,772.8 million and $1,960.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of these debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instruments as quoted in over-the-counter markets, which are Level 1 inputs.

 

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company may employ interest rate swaps in an attempt to achieve a more balanced debt portfolio. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

The Company has three interest rate swaps for notional amounts of $100 million each related to its 7 1/8% senior notes maturing in December 2021. These transactions are designated as fair value hedges since the swaps hedge against the change in fair value of fixed rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates. The Company recorded a derivative asset of $0.6 million and $1.3 million within intangible and other long term assets in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, relating to these swaps.

The Company previously had an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million related to its 6 7/8% senior notes maturing in June 2014 that was designated as a fair value hedge. In February 2012, the Company sold this interest rate swap to the counterparty for approximately $1.2 million.

The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The effect and location of the derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, presented on a pre-tax basis, is as follows (in thousands):

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately $0.5 million of interest expense and $1.0 million of interest income, respectively, was related to the ineffectiveness associated with these fair value hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of the fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

(14) Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate adjusted for certain discrete items for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded adjustments to the effective income tax rate to reflect changes resulting from filing its 2012 U.S. federal tax return. As a result, the Company adjusted its effective tax rate from 37% to 35% for the nine months ending September 30, 2013. The decrease in the rate was primarily as result of U.S. federal income tax credits.

The Company follows authoritative guidance surrounding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $27.8 million and $26.4 million of unrecorded tax benefits at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

In addition to its U.S. federal tax return, the Company files income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The number of years that are open under the statute of limitations and subject to audit varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years after 2009.

Executive Summary

On February 7, 2012, we closed our acquisition of Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete), and the operating results of the acquired businesses are included from the date of acquisition. Given the substantial nature of this acquisition and its impact on our financial performance, comparisons between the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 for our Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments may not be meaningful.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, revenue was $1,188.6 million, net income was $69.8 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, revenues were $1,159.7 million, and net income was $68.6 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, revenues were $1,179.7 million and net income from continuing operations was $93.9 million, or $0.59 diluted earnings per share.

Third quarter 2013 revenue from our Drilling Products and Services segment increased 5% sequentially to $215.5 million, as compared with $205.4 million in the second quarter. U.S. land revenue declined slightly from the second quarter to approximately $72.9 million primarily due to decreased demand for premium drill pipe. International revenue increased sequentially to approximately $64.9 million primarily due to rentals of premium drill pipe and bottom hole assemblies in Latin America. Gulf of Mexico revenue increased 3% sequentially to approximately $77.8 million due to increases in rentals of premium drill pipe, bottom hole assemblies and specialty rentals.

Third quarter 2013 revenue from our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment was essentially unchanged from the second quarter at $398.0 million. Virtually all of this segment’s revenue is derived from the U.S. land market area.

Third quarter 2013 revenue from our Production Services segment decreased 3% sequentially to $359.7 million as compared to the second quarter. U.S. land revenue decreased approximately 3% sequentially to $225.1 million primarily due to decreased demand for coiled tubing, cased hole wireline and pressure control tools. Revenue from the Gulf of Mexico market area decreased 2% sequentially to approximately $52.5 million with increases in cased hole wireline services offset by decreases in coiled tubing and snubbing services. Revenue from international market areas decreased 3% sequentially to $82.1 million primarily due to decreased coiled tubing activity in Mexico and lower demand for snubbing services in Latin America.

Table of Contents

Third quarter 2013 revenue from our Subsea and Technical Solutions segment increased to $215.4 million, or 15% sequentially. International revenue increased 15% sequentially to $81.6 million due to an increase in subsea construction activity. Gulf of Mexico market revenue increased 16% sequentially to $111.5 million due to increased demand for pressure control services and completion tools and services. U.S. land market revenue increased 12% sequentially to $22.3 million primarily related to an increase in completion tools and services.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, our revenues were $1,188.6 million, resulting in net income of $69.8 million, or $0.43 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is a reduction of income tax expense as a result of a change in the effective income tax rate from 37% to 35%. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenues were $1,179.7 million and net income from continuing operations was $93.9 million, or $0.59 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.

The following provides a discussion of our results on a segment basis:

Drilling Products and Services Segment

Revenue from our Drilling Products and Services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $215.5 million, as compared to $194.9 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of rentals and sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 34% of segment revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 32% in the same period in 2012. Revenue derived from the U.S. land market area decreased approximately 14% primarily due to decreased demand for premium drill pipe and accommodations. Revenue generated from our international market areas increased 34% primarily due to increases in rentals of premium drill pipe and accommodations. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico market area increased approximately 26% due to increases in most of our product lines within this segment, particularly premium drill pipe and specialty rentals.

Onshore Completion and Workover Services Segment

Revenue from our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment was $398.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to $421.2 million for the same period in 2012. Virtually all of this segment’s revenue is derived from the U.S. land market area. Revenue declined in our well service rigs and fluid management businesses. These declines were partially offset by an increase in pressure pumping activity. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 69% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 66% in the same period in 2012. The decline in revenue and increase in cost of services percentage is a result of lower pricing and competitive pressures existing in the U.S. land markets.

Production Services Segment

Revenue from our Production Services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $359.7 million, as compared to $373.9 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 70% from 64% in the third quarter of 2012. Revenue from the U.S. land market area decreased 15% as we experienced declines in coiled tubing, wireline, remedial pumping, and hydraulic workover and snubbing activity. The decline in U.S. land market revenue and the increase in cost of services percentage are attributable to a decline in general market conditions as a result of a decrease in rig count, lower pricing and competitive pressures. Revenue derived from the Gulf of Mexico market area increased 35% due to increased demand for pressure control, hydraulic workover and snubbing and wireline services. Revenue from international market areas increased 16% primarily due to our acquisitions of a wireline company and a cementing company in Latin America, partially offset by decreased activity in our coiled tubing services in Mexico.

Subsea and Technical Solutions Segment

Revenue from our Subsea and Technical Solutions segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $215.4 million, as compared to $189.7 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of sales decreased to 68% of segment revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from 69% in the same period in 2012. Revenue in our Gulf of Mexico market area increased 26% year over year primarily due to an increase in sand control and stimulation services and other technical service projects. Revenue in our international market areas decreased 2% as a result of decreases in sand control and stimulation services and well control work. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for subsea construction services in the Asia Pacific market area. Revenue in our U.S. land market area increased 26% primarily as a result of increased demand for sand control and stimulation services and environmental services.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased to $158.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $128.2 million for the same period in 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for our Drilling Products and Services segment by $4.6 million, or 12%, due to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment increased by $4.5 million, or 9%, due to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for our Production Services segment increased by $11.0 million, or 32%, due to our acquisitions of a wireline company and a cementing company in Latin America, and to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense for our Subsea and Technical Solutions segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $9.7 million due to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures and to higher utilization of subsea construction vessels.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $157.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $163.5 million for the same period in 2012. The year over year decrease is primarily due to a decrease in insurance and bad debt expenses.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our revenues were $3,483.8 million, resulting in net income of $202.1 million, or $1.26 diluted earnings per share. Included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is a reduction of income tax expense as a result of a change in the effective income tax rate from 37% to 35%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenues were $3,389.8 million and net income from continuing operations was $289.7 million, or $1.95 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Included in the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $30.6 million of acquisition related costs, $3.1 million in unrealized pre-tax hedging losses from our equity method investment in Dynamic Offshore and a pre-tax gain of approximately $17.9 million from the sale of that equity method investment. Revenues and costs of service for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include only a partial period contribution from the businesses acquired from Complete in February 2012. The businesses acquired from Complete are reported within the Onshore Completion and Workover Services and Production Services segments.

Drilling Products and Services Segment

Revenue from our Drilling Products and Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $614.9 million, as compared to $582.4 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of rentals and sales as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 33% of segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. Revenue derived from the U.S. land market area decreased approximately 17% primarily due to decreased demand for premium drill pipe and accommodations. Revenue generated in our international market areas increased 19% due to increases in most of our product lines within the segment. Revenue from our Gulf of Mexico market area increased approximately 29% due to increases in most of our product lines within this segment, particularly premium drill pipe.

Onshore Completion and Workover Services Segment

Revenue from our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment was $1,222.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $1,176.2 million for the same period in 2012. Virtually all of this segment’s revenue is derived in the U.S. land market areas by businesses acquired in the Complete acquisition in February 2012. Revenue increased 4% over the previous period. This segment’s revenue was negatively impacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the decline in general market conditions in the U.S. land market area, including competitive pressures and resulting lower pricing. These factors also contributed to an increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue to 67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 65% in the same period in 2012.

Production Services Segment

Revenue from our Production Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,096.2 million, as compared to $1,141.7 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased to 69% from 60% for the same period in 2012. Market demand for coiled tubing, wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, and remedial pumping services in the U.S. land market areas declined considerably, the primary driver of an 18% year over year decline in revenue and the increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue. Revenue derived from the Gulf of Mexico market area increased 45% due to increases in demand for most of our product lines within this segment. Revenue from international market areas increased 23% primarily due to our acquisitions of a wireline company and a cementing company in Latin America. These increases were partially offset by a decline in demand for coiled tubing services in Mexico, and hydraulic workover and snubbing services.

Subsea and Technical Solutions Segment

Revenue from our Subsea and Technical Solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $550.5 million, as compared to $489.5 million for the same period in 2012. Cost of sales increased to 70% of segment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 67% in the same period in 2012. Revenue in our Gulf of Mexico market area increased 27% primarily due to increases in well control work, sand control and stimulation services and other technical service projects. These increases were partially offset by decreases in oil and gas sales and plug and abandonment services. Revenue in our international market areas decreased 3% primarily as a result of a decrease in well control work. Revenue in our U.S. land market area increased 8% primarily as a result of increased demand for environmental services.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased to $462.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $366.3 million for the same period in 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for our Drilling Products and Services segment by $14.6 million, or 13%, due to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment increased by $38.4 million, or 32%, some of which was attributable to the fact that the product offerings comprising this segment were acquired in the Complete acquisition in February 2012. The remainder is attributable to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization expense for our Production Services segment increased by $34.0 million, or 34%, partly because a portion of the product offerings comprising this segment were acquired in the Complete acquisition. The remainder is attributable to other acquisitions and to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense for our Subsea and Technical Solutions segment increased by $9.3 million, or 26%, due to higher utilization of certain marine assets and to 2012 and 2013 capital expenditures.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $465.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $497.0 million for the same period in 2012. General and administrative expenses declined year over year due to nonrecurring acquisition related and other expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated net cash from operating activities of $636.1 million, as compared to $696.6 million in the same period of 2012. Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital and to fund capital expenditures, debt service and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility. We had cash and cash equivalents of $90.7 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $91.2 million at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, approximately $87.1 million of our cash balance was held outside the U.S. Cash balances held in foreign jurisdictions can be repatriated to the U.S.; however, they would be subject to federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. The Company has not provided U.S. income tax expense on earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, other than foreign subsidiaries acquired in the Complete acquisition, because it expects to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely.

We spent $466.8 million of cash on capital additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a portion of which related to 2012 capital additions. Approximately $71.5 million, $111.1 million and $100.3 million was used to expand and maintain the asset bases of our Onshore Completion and Workover Services, Production Services and Subsea and Technical Solutions segments, respectively, and approximately $183.9 million was used to expand and maintain our Drilling Products and Services equipment inventory.

We have a $1.0 billion bank credit facility which is comprised of a $600 million revolving portion and a $400 million term loan. The principal balance of the term loan is payable in installments of $5.0 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2013, we had no amounts outstanding under the revolving portion of our credit facility and approximately $56.0 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduce our borrowing capacity under this portion of the credit facility. The average amount outstanding under the revolving portion of our credit facility during the third quarter was approximately $88.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.5% per annum. The maximum amount outstanding under the revolving portion of our credit facility during the third quarter was $180.0 million, primarily related to the redemption of our $150 million 6 7/8% senior notes in May 2013. As of November 1, 2013, we had no amounts outstanding under the revolving portion of our credit facility, and approximately $56.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. Any amounts outstanding on the bank revolving credit facility and the term loan are due on February 7, 2017. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus margins that depend on our leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including the pledge of the stock of our principal domestic subsidiaries. The credit facility contains customary events of default and requires that we satisfy various financial covenants. It also limits our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions, make acquisitions, create liens or incur additional indebtedness. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

We have outstanding $500 million of 6 3/8% unsecured senior notes due 2019. The indenture governing the 6 3/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on May 1st and November 1st of each year through the maturity date of May 1, 2019. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit us from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

We also have outstanding $800 million of 7 1/8% unsecured senior notes due 2021. The indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior notes requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15th and December 15th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit us from incurring additional debt, repurchasing capital stock, paying dividends or making other distributions, incurring liens, selling assets or entering into certain mergers or acquisitions. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

In October 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $400 million share repurchase program of the Company’s common stock, which will expire on December 31, 2015. Under the program, the Company may purchase shares through open market transactions at prices deemed appropriate by management.

Our current long-term issuer credit rating is BBB- by Standard and Poor’s and Ba1 by Moody’s.

We currently believe that we will spend approximately $125 million to $175 million on capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, during the fourth quarter of 2013. We believe that our current working capital, cash generated from our operations and availability under the revolving portion of our credit facility will provide sufficient funds for our identified capital projects.

We intend to continue implementing our growth strategy of increasing our scope of services through both internal growth and strategic acquisitions. We expect to continue to make the capital expenditures required to implement our growth strategy in amounts consistent with the amount of cash generated from operating activities, availability of additional financing and availability under the revolving portion of our credit facility. Depending on the size of any future acquisitions, we may require additional equity or debt financing in excess of our current working capital and amounts available under the revolving portion of our credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than a guarantee on the performance of certain decommissioning liabilities. We do not have any other financing arrangements that are not required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in our financial statements.

In accordance with authoritative guidance related to guarantees, we have assigned an estimated value of $2.6 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities, related to decommissioning activities in connection with oil and gas properties acquired by our former subsidiary SPN Resources prior to its sale to Dynamic Offshore. The Company believes that the likelihood of being required to perform these guarantees is remote. In the unlikely event of default on any remaining decommissioning liabilities, the total maximum potential obligation under these guarantees is estimated to be approximately $105.1 million, net of the contractual right to receive payments from third parties, which is approximately $24.6 million, as of September 30, 2013. The total maximum potential obligation will decrease over time as the underlying obligations are fulfilled.

Hedging Activities

In July 2013, June 2013 and April 2012, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts of $100 million each related to our 7 1/8% senior notes maturing in December 2021, whereby we are entitled to receive semi-annual interest payments at a fixed rate of 7 1/8% per annum and are obligated to make semi-annual interest payments at variable rates. The variable interest rates, which are adjusted every 90 days, are based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin and are scheduled to terminate on December 15, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 18 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

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

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

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. As of September 30, 2013, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on the amount of this debt outstanding as of September 30, 2013, a 10% increase in the variable interest rate would have increased our interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by approximately $1.7 million, while a 10% decrease would have decreased our interest expense by approximately $1.7 million.

Commodity Price Risk

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

  b. Changes in internal control. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
