COMPLETE PRODUCTION SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. General:
(a) Nature of operations:
     Complete Production Services, Inc. is a provider of specialized services and products focused on developing hydrocarbon reserves, reducing operating costs and enhancing production for oil and gas companies. Complete Production Services, Inc. focuses its operations on basins within North America and manages its operations from regional field service facilities located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, western Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
     References to “Complete,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and similar phrases used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate collectively to Complete Production Services, Inc. and its consolidated affiliates.
     On April 21, 2006, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CPX”.
(b) Basis of presentation:
     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Complete as of June 30, 2009 and the statements of operations and the statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, as well as the statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. We believe that these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary so that they are not misleading. See Note 2, Prior Period Adjustments.
     In preparing financial statements, we make informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We review our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, contingencies, and income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
     The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that could be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to 2008 amounts in order to present these results on a comparable basis with amounts for 2009, including a change to the presentation of capitalized interest at one of our subsidiaries for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, which resulted in a decrease in interest income and an offsetting decrease in interest expense totaling $661 and $1,230, respectively. This change had no impact on net interest expense as previously disclosed.
     In May 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and committed to a plan to sell certain operations in the Barnett Shale region of north Texas, consisting primarily of our supply store business, as well as certain non-strategic drilling logistics assets and other completion and production services assets. On May 19, 2008, we sold these operations to a company owned by a former officer of one of our subsidiaries, for which we received proceeds of $50,150 and assets with a fair market value of $7,987. Accordingly, we have revised our statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to present the operating results of this disposal group as discontinued operations. See Note 10—Discontinued Operations.
     We performed an evaluation of subsequent events through August 7, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial statements.

2. Prior period adjustments:
     In June 2009, we discovered accounting errors within one of our operations located in the Rocky Mountain region, which occurred in prior years and would have impacted our reported operating results for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The majority of the errors were due to control deficiencies relating to our revenue accrual process and with respect to inventory. We evaluated the impact that these errors would have had on our financial statements in reliance on SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and determined that these errors would not have been material to our financial statements from a quantitative or qualitative perspective for those periods. However, the amount of the adjustment required to correct these errors was deemed to be material to the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009. SAB No. 108, which is incorporated in the SEC Rules and Regulations as Section N to Topic 1, “Financial Statements,” provides guidance concerning the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessments. As permitted by SAB 108, we have corrected these errors as of June 30, 2009 and made the required adjustments to our reported results for the comparative quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, we have adjusted our previously published balance sheet at December 31, 2008, decreasing beginning retained earnings by $8,405. We intend to apply the provisions of SAB 108 prospectively and will revise our published financials in future filings including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and comparative results for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. We have labeled our previously filed balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows as “Revised” where applicable.
     The following tables summarize the impact of these accounting errors on our previously published financial statements by caption for each of the comparable periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (in thousands, except per share data).

     Construction in progress at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 primarily included progress payments to vendors for equipment to be delivered in future periods and component parts to be used in the final assembly of operating equipment, which in all cases were not yet placed into service at the time. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded capitalized interest of $267 and $621, respectively, related to assets that we are constructing for internal use and amounts paid to vendors under progress payments for assets that are being constructed on our behalf.
     Effective March 1, 2009, our Canadian subsidiary transferred certain property, plant and equipment used in our production testing business to Enseco, a competitor, in exchange for certain electric line (e-line) equipment. This exchange was determined to have commercial substance for us and therefore we recorded the new assets acquired at the fair market value of the assets surrendered in accordance with SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” The assets surrendered had a carrying value of $9,284 and we incurred cost to sell totaling approximately $71. We determined the fair value of the assets with the assistance of a third-party appraiser, assuming an orderly liquidation methodology, to be $4,487, resulting in a loss on the exchange of $4,868. Of the total value assigned to the new assets, $4,209 was included in property, plant and equipment and $279 was included in inventory in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. The fair market value of the assets received was determined to be $5,497, using the same methodology applied to the assets surrendered. We believe that these e-line assets will generate cash flows in excess of the cash flows that would have been received from the production testing assets due to relatively higher demand from our customers for e-line services.
     Effective March 31, 2009, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with Agua Dulce, LLC, through which we sold a facility and approximately 50 acres of real property located near Rock Springs, Wyoming for $3,827. The sales price approximated the net book value of the facility, which is currently under construction, and the land resulting in an insignificant gain on the transaction which has been included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the buyer agreed to fund the completion of the construction of the facility. Effective April 1, 2009, we became party to the lease agreement which requires monthly operating lease payments for a term of 10 years, with an option to extend the lease term for an additional 10 years. The rental rate adjusts for construction draws to date divided ratably over the remaining lease term. The lease term began on April 1, 2009 and the first monthly rental was $35. We will also incur additional lease costs related to certain operating costs, taxes and insurance for the facility over the term of the lease.
6. Notes payable:
     We entered into a note arrangement to finance our annual insurance premiums for the policy term beginning December 1, 2007 and extending through April 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2007, we

10


Table of Contents

recorded a note payable totaling $15,354 and an offsetting prepaid asset which included a broker’s fee. At December 31, 2008, this note balance totaled $1,353 and was classified as a current liability. We paid this note in full during the first quarter of 2009. Effective May 1, 2009, we renewed our insurance policies and entered into a similar financing arrangement. We recorded a note payable of $7,960, and have made payments toward this note of $2,875, resulting in a note payable balance of $5,085 at June 30, 2009. In addition, we renewed our workers’ compensation, general liability and auto insurance policies through our insurance broker. We have recorded a prepaid asset of approximately $2,052 associated with these policies and are making monthly premium payments. Our primary insurance policies extend through April 30, 2010.
7. Long-term debt:
    The following table summarizes long-term debt as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

    303       3,803  
 
           
 
  $ 650,170     $ 843,842  
 
           
 
  (a)   We maintain a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent, and certain other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a $360,000 U.S. revolving credit facility that matures in December 2011 and a $40,000 Canadian revolving credit facility (with Integrated Production Services, Ltd., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the borrower thereof) that matures in December 2011. The U.S. revolving credit facility includes a provision for a “commitment increase” clause, as defined in the Credit Agreement, which permits us to effect up to two separate increases in the aggregate commitments under the facility by designating a participating lender to increase its commitment, by mutual agreement, in increments of at least $50,000, with the aggregate of such commitment increases not to exceed $100,000, and in accordance with other provisions as stipulated in the amendment. Certain portions of the credit facilities are available to be borrowed in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euros and other currencies approved by the lenders.
 
      Subject to certain limitations, we have the ability to elect how interest under the Credit Agreement will be computed. Interest under the Credit Agreement may be determined by reference to (1) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin between 0.75% and 1.75% per annum (with the applicable margin depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement)) or (2) the Base Rate (i.e., the higher of the Canadian bank’s prime rate or the CDOR rate plus 1.0%, in the case of Canadian loans or the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, in the case of U.S. loans), plus an applicable margin between 0.00% and 0.75% per annum. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, advances will bear interest at the then-applicable rate plus 2%. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of applicable interest periods for LIBOR loans, except that if the interest period for a LIBOR loan is six months, interest will be paid at the end of each three-month period.
 
      The Credit Agreement also contains various covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to: (1) grant certain liens; (2) make certain loans and investments; (3) make capital expenditures; (4) make distributions; (5) make acquisitions; (6) enter into hedging transactions; (7) merge or consolidate; or (8) engage in certain asset dispositions. Additionally, the Credit Agreement limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness if: (1) we are not in pro forma compliance with all terms under the Credit Agreement, (2) certain covenants of the additional indebtedness are more onerous than the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, or (3) the additional indebtedness provides for amortization, mandatory prepayment or repurchases of senior unsecured or subordinated debt during the duration of the Credit Agreement with certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement also limits additional secured debt to 10% of our consolidated

11


Table of Contents

      net worth (i.e., the excess of our assets over the sum of our liabilities plus the minority interests). The Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, require us and our subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows (with such ratios tested at the end of each fiscal quarter): (1) total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and (2) EBITDA, as defined, to total interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under the amended and restated Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2009.
      Under the Credit Agreement, we are permitted to prepay our borrowings.
 
      All of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of our U.S. subsidiaries as well as a pledge of approximately 66% of the stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. All of the obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us as well as certain of our subsidiaries.
 
      If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, as defined therein, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. While an event of default is continuing, advances will bear interest at the then-applicable rate plus 2%.
 
      There were no borrowings outstanding under our U.S. or Canadian revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2009. The weighted average interest rate for our revolving credit facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.87%. There were letters of credit outstanding under the U.S. revolving portion of the facility totaling $45,649, which reduced the available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2009. We incurred fees calculated at 1.25% of the total amount outstanding under letter of credit arrangements through June 30, 2009. Our available borrowing capacity under the U.S. and Canadian revolving facilities at June 30, 2009 was $314,351 and $40,000, respectively.
 
  (b)   On December 6, 2006, we issued 8.0% senior notes with a face value of $650,000 through a private placement of debt. These notes mature in 10 years, on December 15, 2016, and require semi-annual interest payments, paid in arrears and calculated based on an annual rate of 8.0%, on June 15 and December 15, of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2007. There was no discount or premium associated with the issuance of these notes. The senior notes are guaranteed by all of our current domestic subsidiaries. The senior notes have covenants which, among other things: (1) limit the amount of additional indebtedness we can incur; (2) limit restricted payments such as a dividend; (3) limit our ability to incur liens or encumbrances; (4) limit our ability to purchase, transfer or dispose of significant assets; (5) limit our ability to purchase or redeem stock or subordinated debt; (6) limit our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) limit our ability to merge with or into other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and (8) limit our ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We have the option to redeem all or part of these notes on or after December 15, 2011. We can redeem 35% of these notes on or before December 15, 2009 using the proceeds of certain equity offerings. Additionally, we may redeem some or all of the notes prior to December 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a make-whole premium.
 
      Pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the holders of our 8.0% senior notes, on June 1, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which enabled these holders to exchange their notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms. These holders exchanged 100% of the notes for publicly traded notes on July 25, 2007. On August 28, 2007, we entered into a supplement to the indenture governing the 8.0% senior notes, whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture. Effective April 1, 2009, we entered into a second supplement to this indenture whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture.

  (c)   We issued subordinated seller notes totaling $3,450 in 2004 related to certain business acquisitions. These notes bore interest at 6% and matured in March 2009. We repaid the outstanding principal associated with these note agreements totaling $3,450 upon maturity.
8. Stockholders’ equity:
(a) Stock-based Compensation—Stock Options:
     We maintain option plans under which stock-based compensation can be granted to employees, officers and directors. Stock option grants under these plans have an exercise price based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. These stock options may be exercised over a five or ten-year period and generally a third of the options vest on each of the first three anniversaries from the grant date. Upon exercise of stock options, we issue our common stock.
     We account for our stock-based compensation awards pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, whereby we measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with limited exceptions, by using an option pricing model to determine fair value. We record stock compensation expense associated with our stock-based compensation awards pursuant to SFAS No. 123R in accordance with the transition guidance of that statement, as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008.
     Effective January 30, 2009, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the annual grant of stock options and non-vested restricted stock to certain employees, officers and directors. Pursuant to this authorization, we issued 1,287,008 shares of non-vested restricted stock on January 30, 2009 at a grant price of $6.41 per share and 4,000 shares of non-vested restricted stock on March 16, 2009 at a grant price of $2.64 per share. We expect to recognize compensation expense associated with these grants of non-vested restricted stock totaling $8,260 ratably over the three-year vesting periods. In addition, we granted 905,300 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.41 per share. These stock options vest ratably over a three-year period. We will recognize compensation expense associated with these stock option grants over the vesting period in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was determined by applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:
     
    Six Months Ended
    June 30,
Assumptions:   2009
Risk-free rate
  0.89% to 1.75%  
Expected term (in years)
  2.2 to 5.1  
Volatility
  28.6%  
 
   
Calculated fair value per option
  $1.14 to $1.84
     We completed our initial public offering in April 2006. Prior to the second quarter of 2008, we did not have sufficient historical market data in order to determine the volatility of our common stock. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, we analyzed the market data of peer companies and calculated an average volatility factor based upon changes in the closing price of these companies’ common stock for a three-year period. This volatility factor was then applied as a variable to determine the fair value of our stock options granted prior to the second quarter of 2008. For stock options granted during or after the second quarter of 2008, we calculated an average volatility factor for our common stock for the period from April 21, 2006 through the respective quarter end. These volatility calculations were then applied to compute the fair market value of stock option grants during the second quarter of 2008 and thereafter.
     We projected a rate of stock option forfeitures based upon historical experience and management assumptions related to the expected term of the options. After adjusting for these forfeitures, we expect to recognize expense totaling $1,469 over the vesting period of these 2009 stock option grants. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, we have recognized expense related to these stock option grants totaling $120 and $204, respectively, which represents a reduction of net income before taxes. The

13


Table of Contents

impact on the net loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 was an increase of $84 and $143, respectively, with no impact on diluted earnings per share as reported. The unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested portion of these awards was $1,265 as of June 30, 2009 and will be recognized over the applicable remaining vesting periods.
     For the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized compensation expense associated with all stock option awards totaling $1,053 and $1,300, respectively, resulting in an increase in net loss of $740 and a reduction in net income of $858, respectively, and a $0.01 reduction in diluted earnings per share for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized compensation expense associated with all stock option awards totaling $2,392 and $2,566, respectively, resulting in an increase in net loss of $1,682 and a reduction in net income of $1,668, respectively, and a $0.02 reduction in diluted earnings per share for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Total unrecognized compensation expense associated with outstanding stock option awards at June 30, 2009 was $3,647, or $2,261, net of tax.

     The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $134 and $173, respectively. The total intrinsic value of all in-the-money vested outstanding stock options at June 30, 2009 was $266. Assuming all stock options outstanding at June 30, 2009 were vested, the total intrinsic value of all in-the-money outstanding stock options would have been $328.
(b) Non-vested Restricted Stock:
     We recognize compensation expense associated with grants of non-vested restricted stock, based on the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, ratably over the applicable vesting periods. At June 30, 2009, amounts not yet recognized related to non-vested restricted stock totaled $14,070, which represented the unamortized expense associated with awards of non-vested stock granted to employees, officers and directors under our compensation plans, including $73 and $6,940 related to grants during the quarter and

six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. We recognized compensation expense associated with non-vested restricted stock totaling $2,192 and $1,331 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $4,314 and $2,251 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
     The following table summarizes the change in non-vested restricted stock from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009:
                 
    Non-vested

(c)   Treasury Shares:
     In accordance with the provisions of the 2008 Incentive Award Plan, holders of unvested restricted stock were given the option to either remit to us the required withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock, or to authorize us to repurchase shares equivalent to the cost of the withholding tax and to remit the withholding taxes on behalf of the holder. Pursuant to this provision, we repurchased the following shares during the six months ended June 30, 2009:
                         
            Price Paid     Extended  
Period   Purchased     per Share     Amount  
January 1 — 31, 2009
    10,662     $ 6.37     $ 68

    6,623     $ 7.84     $ 51

    436     $ 7.66     $ 4  
 
                   
 
    17,721             $ 123  
 
                   
     These shares were included as treasury stock at cost in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2009. We expect to purchase additional shares in the future pursuant to this plan provision.
9. Earnings per share:
     We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common and potential common share includes the weighted average of additional shares associated with the incremental effect of dilutive employee stock options and non-vested restricted stock, as determined using the treasury stock method prescribed by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The following table reconciles basic and diluted weighted average shares used in the computation of earnings per share for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:
                                 
    Quarter Ended   Six Months Ended

Table of Contents

     For the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss and thus all potential common shares were deemed to be anti-dilutive. We excluded the impact of anti-dilutive potential common shares from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. If these potential common shares were included in the calculation, the impact would have been a decrease in diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 2,878,172 shares and 40,639 shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 3,978,165 shares and 194,498 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
10. Discontinued operations:
     In May 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and committed to a plan to sell certain business assets located primarily in north Texas which included our product supply stores, certain drilling logistics assets and other completion and production services assets. Although this sale did not represent a material disposition of assets relative to our total assets as presented in the accompanying balance sheets, the disposal group did represent a significant portion of the assets and operations which were attributable to our product sales business segment for the periods presented, and therefore, was accounted for as a disposal group that is held for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” We revised our financial statements, pursuant to SFAS No. 144, and reclassified the assets and liabilities of the disposal group as held for sale as of the date of each balance sheet presented and removed the results of operations of the disposal group from net income from continuing operations, and presented these separately as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for each of the accompanying statements of operations. We ceased depreciating the assets of this disposal group in May 2008 and adjusted the net assets to the lower of carrying value or fair value less selling costs, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of approximately $200. In addition, we allocated $11,109 of goodwill associated with the original formation of Complete Production Services, Inc. to this business. Our company was formed from the combination of three entities under common control in September 2005, which resulted in goodwill of $93,792. Of this amount, $11,109 was deemed to be attributable to this disposal group and was impaired as of the date of the transaction. Thus, this amount has been included in the calculation of the loss on the sale of this disposal group.
     On May 19, 2008, we completed the sale of the disposal group for $50,150 in cash and we received assets with a fair market value of $7,987. In addition, we retained the receivables and payables associated with the operating results of these entities as of the date of the sale. The carrying value of the related net assets was approximately $51,353 on May 19, 2008, excluding allocated goodwill of $11,109. We recorded a loss of $6,935 associated with the sale of this disposal group, which represents the excess of the carrying value of the assets less selling costs over the sales price and a charge of approximately $2,610 related to income tax on the transaction. The income tax on the disposal was primarily attributable to the $11,109 of allocated goodwill which was non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a taxable gain on the disposal. We sold this disposal group to Select Energy Services, L.L.C., an oilfield service company located in Gainesville, Texas which is owned by a former officer of one of our subsidiaries. Pursuant to the agreement, we sublet office space to Select Energy Services, L.L.C., and provide certain administrative functions for a period of one year at an agreed-upon rate for services per hour. Proceeds from the sale of this disposal group were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our U.S. revolving credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.
     The following table summarizes operating results for the disposal group for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008:

11. Segment information:
     SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes standards for the reporting of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method of determining what information to report is based on the way our management organizes the operating segments for making operational decisions and assessing financial performance. We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minority interest and impairment loss (“EBITDA”). The calculation of EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for calculations under U.S. GAAP, in particular net income. EBITDA calculated by us may not be comparable to the EBITDA calculation of another company. See the table below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to operating income (loss) by segment.
     We have three reportable operating segments: completion and production services (“C&PS”), drilling services and product sales. The accounting policies of our reporting segments are the same as those used to prepare our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009. Inter-segment transactions are accounted for on a cost recovery basis.

(a)   The contingency adjustment represents a reclassification of costs associated with a prior year acquisition, with no impact on net income as previously reported.
12. Financial instruments:
     The financial instruments recognized in the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, bank operating loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and senior notes. The fair value of all financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts due to their current maturities or market rates of interest, except the senior notes which were issued in December 2006 with a fixed 8% coupon rate. At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these notes was $555,750 based on the published closing price.
     A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable are from companies in the oil and gas industry, and as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We evaluate the credit-worthiness of our major new and existing customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, one customer, XTO Energy, Inc., provided approximately 10% of our sales.
13. Legal matters and contingencies:
     In the normal course of our business, we are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims and occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials, on the job injuries and fatalities as a result of our products or operations. Many of the claims filed against us relate to motor vehicle accidents which can result in the loss of life or serious bodily injury. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of such businesses.
     Although we cannot know or predict with certainty the outcome of any claim or proceeding or the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any liability resulting from the resolution of any of these matters, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     We have historically incurred additional insurance premium related to a cost-sharing provision of our general liability insurance policy, and we cannot be certain that we will not incur additional costs until either existing claims become further developed or until the limitation periods expire for each respective policy year. Any such additional premiums should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

14. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:
     On December 6, 2006, we issued 8.0% Senior Notes at a face value of $650,000 in a private placement transaction. On June 1, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC to register these 8.0% Senior Notes and became subject to the disclosure requirements of SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10(f). The following tables present the financial data required pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10(f), which includes: (1) unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (Revised); (2) unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (Revised); and (3) unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (Revised).

15. Retirement Plans:
     Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted and established the Complete Production Services, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, whereby eligible participants, including members of senior management, directors and certain highly-compensated individuals, could defer up to 90% of their compensation and up to 90% of the employees’ annual incentive bonus, or, 100% of director compensation for services rendered, into various investment options pre-tax. For amounts deferred, we will match the contribution dollar-for-dollar up to four percent of compensation minus $10, and we may make other discretionary contributions pursuant to resolutions of this plan’s administrative committee. Participants immediately vest in amounts deferred as well as any matching or discretionary contributions we make. Participants bear the risk of loss associated with investment gains or losses. We intend that this plan will meet all the requirements necessary to be a nonqualified, unfunded, unsecured plan of deferred compensation within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, we expensed $10 of matching contributions associated with this deferred compensation plan.
     In response to current market conditions, we announced to our employees in February 2009 that we will be suspending matching contributions to our 401(k) plans and deferred compensation plan beginning in May 2009, until further notification.
16. Recent accounting pronouncements and authoritative literature:
     In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” which will replace that pronouncement in its entirety. While the revised statement will retain the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141, it will also require that all assets and liabilities and non-controlling interests of an acquired business be measured at their fair value, with limited exceptions, including the recognition of acquisition-related costs and anticipated restructuring costs separate from the acquired net assets. In addition, the statement provides guidance for recognizing pre-acquisition contingencies and states that an acquirer must recognize assets and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at acquisition-date fair values, but must recognize all other contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values only if it is more likely than not that these contingencies meet the definition of an asset or liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements.” Furthermore, this statement provides guidance for measuring goodwill and

Table of Contents

recording a bargain purchase, defined as a business combination in which total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and it requires that the acquirer recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. This statement became effective on January 1, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. We adopted SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009 with no impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     In September 2008, the FASB issued an FSP No. FAS 144-d, “Amending the Criteria for Reporting a Discontinued Operation,” which clarifies the definition of a discontinued operation as either: (1) a component of an entity which has been disposed of or classified as held for sale which meets the criteria of an operating segment as defined under SFAS No. 131, or (2) as a business, as such term is defined in SFAS No. 141R which becomes effective on January 1, 2009, which meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale on acquisition. This proposed guidance further modifies certain disclosure requirements. We are currently evaluating the effect this proposed guidance may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which provides guidance as to the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after a balance sheet date in its financial statements and the necessary disclosures related to these events. Specifically, the entity should recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including significant estimates used to prepare financial statements. An entity must disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We adopted SFAS No. 165 effective June 30, 2009 and will apply its provisions prospectively.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” This “codification” will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for all non-governmental entities. The SEC Rules and Releases will also continue to be the authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants under authority of the U.S. federal securities laws. This statement becomes effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will supercede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. We are currently evaluating the impact that this pronouncement may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
17. Subsequent Events:
     Effective July 30, 2009, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with Enterprise Leasing Company of Houston to sell over 550 light-vehicles with a net book value of $11,051 as of June 30, 2009. On July 30, 2009, we received proceeds from the sale totaling approximately $9,972 and expect to receive an additional $580 prior to August 31, 2009. We expect to lease these vehicles over terms of 24 to 36 months with an initial monthly lease payment of $307.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of June 30, 2009 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, included elsewhere herein.
Overview
     We are a leading provider of specialized services and products focused on helping oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce operating costs and enhance production. We focus on basins within North America that we believe have attractive long-term potential for growth, and we deliver targeted, value-added services and products required by our customers within each specific basin. We believe our range of services and products positions us to meet the many needs of our customers at the wellsite, from drilling and completion through production and eventual abandonment. We manage our operations from regional field service facilities located throughout the U.S. Rocky Mountain region, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, western Canada, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
     We operate in three business segments:
     Completion and Production Services. Through our completion and production services segment, we establish, maintain and enhance the flow of oil and gas throughout the life of a well. This segment is divided into the following primary service lines:
    Intervention Services. Well intervention requires the use of specialized equipment to perform an array of wellbore services. Our fleet of intervention service equipment includes coiled tubing units, pressure pumping units, nitrogen units, well service rigs, snubbing units and a variety of support equipment. Our intervention services provide customers with innovative solutions to increase production of oil and gas.

Table of Contents

    Downhole and Wellsite Services. Our downhole and wellsite services include electric-line, slickline, production optimization, production testing, rental and fishing services. We also offer several proprietary services and products that we believe create significant value for our customers.
 
    Fluid Handling. We provide a variety of services to help our customers obtain, move, store and dispose of fluids that are involved in the development and production of their reservoirs. Through our fleet of specialized trucks, frac tanks and other assets, we provide fluid transportation, heating, pumping and disposal services for our customers.
     Drilling Services. Through our drilling services segment, we provide services and equipment that initiate or stimulate oil and gas production by providing land drilling, specialized rig logistics and site preparation throughout our service area. Our drilling rigs primarily operate in and around the Barnett Shale region of north Texas.
     Product Sales. We provide oilfield service equipment and refurbishment of used equipment through our Southeast Asian business, and we provide repair work and fabrication services for our customers at a business located in Gainesville, Texas.
     Substantially all service and rental revenue we earn is based upon a charge for a period of time (an hour, a day, a week) for the actual period of time the service or rental is provided to our customer or on a fixed per-stage-completed fee. Product sales are recorded when the actual sale occurs and title or ownership passes to the customer.
General
     The primary factors influencing demand for our services and products are (1) the number of wells drilled and completed, (2) the amount of maintenance and workover activity, and (2) the complexity of new well completions, all of which depend on current and anticipated future oil and gas prices, production depletion rates and the resultant levels of cash flows generated and allocated by our customers to their drilling and workover budgets. As a result, demand for our services and products is cyclical, substantially depends on activity levels in the North American oil and gas industry and is highly sensitive to current and expected oil and natural gas prices.
     We consider the drilling and well service rig counts to be an indication of spending by our customers in the oil and gas industry for exploration and development of new and existing hydrocarbon reserves. These spending levels are a primary driver of our business, and we believe that our customers tend to invest more in these activities when oil and gas prices are at higher levels or are increasing. The following tables summarize average North American drilling and well service rig activity, as measured by Baker Hughes Incorporated (“BHI”) and the Cameron International Corporation/Guiberson/AESC Well Service Rig Count for “Active Rigs,” formerly the Weatherford/AESC Service Rig Count for “Active Rigs.”

Outlook
     Since our initial public offering, which was completed in April 2006, our growth strategy has been focused on internal growth in the basins in which we currently operate, as we sought to maximize our equipment utilization, add additional like-kind equipment and expand service and product offerings. In addition, we have sought new basins in which to replicate this approach and augmented our internal growth with strategic acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we noticed a decline in drilling and exploration expenditures by our customers following the significant decline in oil and gas commodity prices, as well as an overall decline in the general U.S. economy, which included tighter debt and equity markets and reduced availability of credit for investment by our customers. For the first six months of 2009, we have decreased our level of internal capital investment compared to the prior six months and the same period in the prior year, and have implemented certain cost-saving measures including headcount reductions, while remaining responsive to our customers’ needs for quality services. Since the fourth quarter of 2008 we have experienced significant declines in activity and there can be no assurance that market activity will not decline further. Our short-term strategy is to focus on cost savings, protect our market positions in key basins, increase operating cash flow and maintain our financing relationships to manage our debt levels, and remain in communication with our customers to ensure that we continue to provide quality service.
    Internal Capital Investment. Our internal expansion activities have generally consisted of adding equipment and qualified personnel in locations where we have established a presence. We have grown our operations in many of these locations by expanding services to current customers, attracting new customers and hiring personnel with local basin-level expertise and leadership recognition. Depending on customer demand, we will consider adding equipment to further increase the capacity of services currently being provided and/or add equipment to expand the services we provide. In response to the current market conditions, we have reduced our capital investment for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $22.8 million, as compared to $134.4 million for the same period in 2008. Our significant investment in capital equipment in recent years has resulted in a relatively newer fleet than many of our competitors. Therefore, we expect our capital investment requirements for maintenance capital to be relatively insignificant during fiscal 2009.
 
    External Growth. We use strategic acquisitions as an integral part of our growth strategy. We consider acquisitions that will add to our service offerings in a current operating area or that will expand our geographical footprint into a targeted basin. We have completed several acquisitions in recent years. These acquisitions affect our operating performance period to period. Accordingly, comparisons of revenue and operating results are not necessarily comparable and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. We have not invested cash consideration in new business acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as we assess current market conditions and the availability of financing, but we intend to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that are beneficial to our long-term strategic goals, while considering short-term objectives to maximize cash flow and maintain our market share.
     Natural gas prices and rotary rig counts have significantly declined from 2008 levels. These changes are likely the result of a number of macro-economic factors, such as an excess supply of natural gas, lower

27


Table of Contents

demand for oil and gas, market expectations of weather conditions and the utilization of heating fuels, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry and other general market conditions for the U.S. economy, including the recent global financial crisis, which has contributed to significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from banks and other providers of credit. Consistent with these trends, we have experienced a significant decline in utilization of our assets and pricing for our products and services during late 2008 and thus far in 2009, and we anticipate that commodity prices and activity levels will remain low and may deteriorate further, adversely impact our results due to pricing pressure and lower utilization rates throughout 2009. We recorded non-cash impairment charges of $272.0 million and $13.1 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. If challenging market conditions persist, we may be required to record future impairment charges related to goodwill and other long-term assets, and may be required to incur restructuring charges as we adapt to a more challenging business environment. Although we cannot determine the depth or duration of the decline in activity in the oil and gas industry, we believe the overall long-term outlook for North American oilfield activity and our business remains favorable, especially in the basins in which we operate.
     We, and many of our competitors, have invested in new equipment in recent years. With the overall decline in oilfield activities, much of this equipment is sitting idle and there is excess capacity in the industry, which has and will likely continue to negatively impact our utilization rates and pricing for certain service offerings. Our equipment fleet is relatively new, as we have made significant investments in new equipment over the past few years. We continue to monitor our equipment utilization and poll our customers to assess demand levels. As equipment enters the marketplace or competition for existing customers increases, we believe our customers will rely upon service providers with local knowledge and expertise, which we believe we have and which constitutes a fundamental aspect of our strategy.
Recent Transactions
     On April 15, 2008, we acquired all the outstanding common stock of Frac Source Services, Inc., a provider of pressure pumping services to customers in the Barnett Shale of north Texas, for $62.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired, which includes a working capital adjustment of $1.6 million and recorded goodwill of $15.4 million. Upon closing this transaction, we entered into a contract with one of our major customers to provide pressure pumping services in the Barnett Shale utilizing three frac fleets under a contract with a term that extends up to three years from the date each fleet is placed into service. We spent an additional $20.0 million in 2008 on capital equipment related to these contracted frac fleets. Thus, our total investment in this operation was approximately $82.4 million. We believe this acquisition expanded our pressure pumping business in north Texas and that the related contract provides a stable revenue stream from which to expand our pressure pumping business outside of this region.
     In May 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and committed to a plan to sell certain operations in the Barnett Shale region of north Texas, consisting primarily of our supply store business, as well as certain non-strategic drilling logistics assets and other completion and production services assets. On May 19, 2008, we sold these operations to Select Energy Services, L.L.C., a company owned by a former officer of one of our subsidiaries, for which we received proceeds of $50.2 million in cash and assets with a fair market value of $8.0 million. The carrying value of the net assets sold was approximately $51.4 million, excluding $11.1 million of allocated goodwill associated with the combination that formed Complete Production Services, Inc. in September 2005. We recorded a loss on the sale of this disposal group totaling approximately $6.9 million, which included $2.6 million related to income taxes. In accordance with the sales agreement, we agreed to sublet office space to Select Energy Services, L.L.C. and to provide certain administrative services for an initial term of one year, at an agreed-upon rate.
     On October 3, 2008, we acquired all of the membership interests of TSWS Well Services, LLC, a limited liability corporation which held substantially all of the well servicing and heavy haul assets of TSWS, Inc., a company based in Magnolia, Arkansas, which provides well servicing and heavy haul services to customers in northern Louisiana, east Texas and southern Arkansas. As consideration, we paid $57.2 million in cash and prepaid an additional $1.0 million related to an employee retention bonus pool. We also recorded goodwill totaling $21.9 million. The purchase price allocation associated with this acquisition has not yet been completed. This acquisition extended our geographic reach into the Haynesville Shale area.
     On October 4, 2008, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Appalachian Wells Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, each of which is based in Shelocta, Pennsylvania. This business provides

28


Table of Contents

pressure pumping, e-line and coiled tubing services in the Appalachian region, and includes a service area which extends through portions of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and New York. As consideration for the purchase, we paid $50.1 million in cash and issued 588,292 unregistered shares of our common stock, valued at $15.04 per share. We expect to invest an additional $6.5 million to complete a frac fleet at this location and have an option to purchase real property for approximately $0.6 million. In addition, we have entered into an agreement under which we may be required to pay up to an additional $5.0 million in cash consideration during the earn-out period which extends through 2010, based upon the results of operations of various service lines acquired. The purchase price allocation associated with this acquisition has not yet been finalized. We recorded goodwill of approximately $27.5 million associated with this acquisition. We believe this acquisition created a platform for future growth for our pressure pumping and other completion and production service lines in the Marcellus Shale.
     In March 2009, our Canadian subsidiary exchanged certain non-monetary assets at a net book value of $9.3 million related to our production testing business for certain e-line assets of a competitor. We recorded a non-cash loss on the transaction of $4.9 million, which represented the difference between the carrying value and the fair market value of the assets surrendered. We believe the e-line assets will generate incremental future cash flows compared to the production testing assets exchanged.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available through open market quotes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We must use our judgment related to uncertainties in order to make these estimates and assumptions.
     For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates as well as certain sensitivity disclosures related to those estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Prior Period Adjustments
     In June 2009, we discovered accounting errors within one of our operations located in the Rocky Mountain region, which occurred in prior years and would have impacted our reported operating results for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The majority of the errors were due to control deficiencies relating to our revenue accrual process and with respect to inventory. We evaluated the impact that these errors would have had on our financial statements in reliance on SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, “Materiality,” and determined that these errors would not have been material to our financial statements from a quantitative or qualitative perspective for those periods. However, the amount of the adjustment required to correct these errors was deemed to be material to the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009. SAB No. 108, which is incorporated in the SEC Rules and Regulations as Section N to Topic 1, “Financial Statements,” provides guidance concerning the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessments. As permitted by SAB No. 108, we revised our financial statements prospectively and have adjusted our previously reported results for the comparative quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, we have adjusted our previously published balance sheet at December 31, 2008, decreasing beginning retained earnings by $8,405. We intend to continue to apply the provisions of SAB 108 prospectively and will revise our published financials in future filings including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and comparative results for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. We have labeled our previously filed balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows as “Revised” where applicable. See “Item 1. Financial Statements” contained elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Similarly, we have labeled adjusted amounts as “Revised” throughout the comparative results presented within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

“Corporate” includes amounts related to corporate personnel costs, other general expenses and stock-based compensation charges.
“EBITDA” consists of net income (loss) from continuing operations before net interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, minority interest and impairment loss. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of performance. We use EBITDA as the primary internal management measure for evaluating performance and allocating additional resources. The following table reconciles EBITDA for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, operating income (loss).

     We do not allocate net interest expense or tax expense to our operating segments.
     Below is a detailed discussion of our operating results by segment for these periods.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
     Revenue
     Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $200.4 million, or 46%, to $238.4 million from $438.8 million for the same period in 2008. The changes by segment were as follows:
    Completion and Production Services. Segment revenue decreased $170.0 million, or 46%, for the quarter primarily due to an overall decline in investment by our customers in oil and gas exploration and development activities resulting from lower oil and gas commodity prices and concerns over the availability of credit for such investment. We experienced a decline in revenues on a year-over-year basis for all of our service lines due to lower utilization and pricing. This overall decline in revenue was partially offset by incremental revenues earned as a result of equipment placed into service throughout 2008 and into early 2009, as well as the contribution of several businesses acquired in 2008.
 
    Drilling Services. Segment revenue decreased $32.5 million, or 57%, for the quarter primarily due to the overall decline in oilfield service activities during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Lower utilization rates and pricing pressure impacted our rig logistics and drilling businesses.
 
    Product Sales. Segment revenue increased $2.0 million, or 13%, for the quarter due primarily to a larger volume of third-party sales at our repair and fabrication shop in north Texas during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Revenues declined for our Southeast Asian business during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to a change in the sales mix and the timing of product sales and equipment refurbishment, which tends to be project-specific.
     Service and Product Expenses
     Service and product expenses include labor costs associated with the execution and support of our services, materials used in the performance of those services and other costs directly related to the support and maintenance of equipment. These expenses decreased $108.0 million, or 40%, to $164.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $272.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to

significantly lower activity levels and cost-savings measures we began implementing in late 2008, including headcount reductions, payroll concessions, and reduced pricing from our vendors. Our year-over-year results were also impacted by two business acquisitions completed during October 2008, each of which contributed a full-quarter of costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, but had no impact for the same period in 2008. The following table summarizes service and product expenses as a percentage of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:
Service and Product Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue
                         
    Quarter Ended
Segment:   6/30/09   6/30/08   Change
Completion and production services
    68 %     63 %     (5 %)
Drilling services
    71 %     66 %     (5 %)
Product sales
    78 %     70 %     (8 %)
Total
    69 %     62 %     (7 %)
     Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Margins by business segment were primarily impacted by lower utilization and pricing as described in more detail below.
    Completion and Production Services. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased when comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the same period in 2008. The overall decline in activity levels in the oil and gas industry, which began in late 2008 and continued throughout the first six months of 2009, resulted in lower utilization of our equipment and services, and led to an increase in competition from other service providers which contributed to pricing pressure in all of our completion and production service lines. Partially defraying the impact of this overall decline in activity levels, were cost-saving measures we began implementing in late 2008.
 
    Drilling Services. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to lower utilization of our equipment, and lower pricing on a year over year basis, partially offset by cost-savings measures.
 
    Product Sales. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for the products segments increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the mix of products sold for the relative periods, as the 2008 results included several higher margin projects associated with our Southeast Asian operations when compared to the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, on a year-over-year basis, a larger proportion of the revenues and related costs for the product sales segment for the second quarter of 2009 were provided by our repair and fabrication facility in north Texas at lower margins relative to our Southeast Asian business, including the sale of a large inventory item resulting in little margin.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and other related expenses for our selling, administrative, finance, information technology and human resource functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.2 million, or 10%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to $45.6 million from $50.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in expense was primarily due to overall cost-saving measures aimed to align our cost structure in response to the decline in oil and gas activity levels for oilfield industry, which has resulted in lower revenues for service providers in 2009 compared to 2008. Overall headcount has been significantly reduced since December 31, 2008. These cost reductions were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense, higher stock-based compensation costs and greater losses from the disposal of fixed assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. In addition, we completed two acquisitions during October 2008 which contributed a full-quarter of selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, but no expense for the respective period in 2008. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was 19% and 12% for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     Depreciation and Amortization
     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.3 million, or 19%, to $51.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $43.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from placing into service much of the equipment that was purchased during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, which totaled approximately $142.2 million. In addition, we recorded depreciation and amortization expense related to assets associated with businesses acquired in 2008, some of which did not contribute a full-quarter of depreciation expense during the second quarter of 2008 due to the timing of the acquisitions. Amortization expense increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 as a result of the amortization of intangible assets associated with business acquisitions in 2008. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 22% from 10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue to continue to remain higher than in recent periods due to the significant investment in capital expenditures made throughout the last three years and the overall decline in activity levels that began in late 2008.
     Interest Expense
     Interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 6%, to $13.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $14.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average amount of debt outstanding during the second quarter of 2009 and lower interest rates in 2009 compared to 2008. As of June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.
     Taxes
     We recorded a tax benefit of $10.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 at an effective rate of 30% and tax expense of $19.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 at an effective rate of 34%. The lower effective tax rate in 2009 was due to reduced earnings from our foreign operations, the impact of state and provincial tax expense relative to our operating loss and the impact of non-deductible items in years for which losses are projected.
     Discontinued Operations
     On May 19, 2008, we sold certain operating assets primarily in north Texas including our supply store business, certain drilling logistics assets and other completion and production services assets, resulting in a net loss on the sale which exceeded the net income earned by the assets during the period from April 1, 2009 through the date of sale. The overall net loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2008 was $6.9 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
     Revenue
     Revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $278.4 million, or 33%, to $575.1 million from $853.4 million for the same period in 2008. The changes by segment were as follows:
    Completion and Production Services. Segment revenue decreased $231.5 million, or 32%, for the six months primarily due to an overall decline in investment by our customers in oil and gas exploration and development activities resulting from lower oil and gas commodity prices and concerns over the availability of credit for such investment. We experienced lower utilization and pricing for each of

      our service offerings on a year-over-year basis, except for our coiled tubing business in Mexico which provided a positive contribution to 2009 results.
    Drilling Services. Segment revenue decreased $50.4 million, or 46%, for the six months primarily due to the overall decline in oilfield service activities throughout the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Lower utilization rates and pricing pressure impacted our rig logistics and drilling businesses.
    Product Sales. Segment revenue increased $3.6 million, or 13%, for the six months due primarily to a larger volume of third-party sales at our repair and fabrication shop in north Texas during the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Revenues declined for our Southeast Asian business during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to a change in the sales mix and the timing of product sales and equipment refurbishment, which tends to be project-specific.
     Service and Product Expenses
     Service and product expenses decreased $139.6 million, or 27%, to $386.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $525.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to significantly lower activity levels and cost-savings measures we began implementing in late 2008, including headcount reductions, payroll concessions and reduced pricing from our vendors. Our year-over-year results were also impacted by the timing of two business acquisitions completed during October 2008, each of which contributed costs for the full six-month period in 2009, but had no impact for the same period in 2008. The following table summarizes service and product expenses as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June, 2009 and 2008:
Service and Product Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue
                         
    Six Months Ended
Segment:   6/30/09   6/30/08   Change
Completion and production services
    66 %     61 %     (5 %)

    71 %     68 %     (3 %)
Product sales
    77 %     68 %     (9 %)
Total
    67 %     61 %     (6 %)
     Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Margins by business segment were primarily impacted by lower utilization and pricing as described in more detail below.
    Completion and Production Services. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the same period in 2008. The overall decline in activity levels in the oil and gas industry, which began in late 2008 and continued throughout the first six months of 2009, resulted in lower utilization of our equipment and services, and pricing pressure from competitors. Partially defraying the impact of this overall decline in activity levels, were cost-saving measures we began implementing in late 2008.
 
    Drilling Services. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for this business segment increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to lower utilization of our equipment due to significantly reduced activity levels by our customers, and lower pricing on a year over year basis, partially offset by cost-savings measures.
 
    Product Sales. Service and product expenses as a percentage of revenue for the products segments increased for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the mix of products sold for the relative periods, as the 2008 results included several higher margin projects associated with our Southeast Asian operations when compared to the six months ended

      June 30, 2009. Additionally, on a year-over-year basis, a larger proportion of the revenues and related costs for the product sales segment for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were provided by our repair and fabrication facility in north Texas at lower margins relative to our Southeast Asian business, including the sale of large inventory item at little or no margin.
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $94.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $95.5 million for the same period in 2008. Several cost saving measures have been implemented during 2009 including headcount reductions, other payroll concessions and lower outside service costs. These expense reductions were offset by: (1) the full impact of several acquisitions completed in 2008, which did not contribute costs for the full six-month period ended June 30, 2008; (2) the loss on the exchange of certain non-monetary assets in Canada during the first quarter of 2009 which totaled $4.9 million; (3) higher bad debt expense; (4) higher stock-based compensation costs; and (5) higher losses from the disposal of fixed assets. Excluding the impact of the non-monetary asset exchange in Canada, as a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was 17% and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
     Depreciation and Amortization
     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $20.8 million, or 25%, to $103.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $82.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from placing into service much of the equipment that was purchased during the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, which totaled approximately $142.2 million. In addition, we recorded depreciation and amortization expense related to assets associated with businesses acquired in 2008, some of which did not contribute depreciation expense for the full six-month period ended June 30, 2008 due to the timing of the acquisitions. Amortization expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 as a result of the amortization of intangible assets associated with business acquisitions in 2008. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense increased to 18% from 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We expect depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue to continue to remain higher than in recent periods due to the significant investment in capital expenditures made throughout the last three years and the overall decline in activity levels that began in late 2008.
     Interest Expense
     Interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 6%, to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average amount of debt outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and lower interest rates in 2009 compared to 2008 on our revolving credit facilities, which had been fully repaid as of June 30, 2009. The weighted-average interest rate of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 8.0% and 7.4%, respectively.
     Taxes
     We recorded a tax benefit of $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 at an effective rate of 30% and tax expense of $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 at an effective rate of 35%. The lower effective tax rate in 2009 was due to reduced earnings from our foreign operations, the impact of state and provincial tax expense relative to our operating loss and the impact of non-deductible items in years for which losses are projected.
     Discontinued Operations
     On May 19, 2008, we sold certain operating assets primarily in north Texas including our supply store business, certain drilling logistics assets and other completion and production services assets. Net loss associated with these discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $4.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The recent and unprecedented disruption in the credit markets has had a significant adverse impact on the availability of credit from a number of financial institutions. At this point in time, our liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment. We are not currently a party to any interest rate swaps, currency hedges or derivative contracts of any type and have no exposure to commercial paper or auction rate securities markets. We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and the overall health of the credit markets. However, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact that any further disruption in the credit environment would have on us.
     Our primary liquidity needs are to fund capital expenditures and general working capital needs. In addition, we have historically obtained capital to fund strategic business acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds have been cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under bank credit facilities, a private placement of debt that was subsequently exchanged for publicly registered debt and the issuance of equity securities in our initial public offering.
     We anticipate that we will rely on cash generated from operations, future debt offerings and/or future public equity offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. In anticipation of a potential future debt covenant violation under our existing credit facility, we will pursue an amendment to this facility. There is no guarantee that we will be able to amend our credit facility and even if we are successful, the size of the facility will be significantly reduced and pricing will be at terms less favorable than our exiting facility. We believe that our operating cash flows and availability under an amended revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. If our plans or assumptions change, or are inaccurate, or if we make further acquisitions, we may have to raise additional capital. Our ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry, and general financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, new debt obtained could include service requirements based on higher interest paid and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition. The issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to stockholders.
     As of June 30, 2009, we had working capital of $199.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $22.0 million, as compared to working capital of $302.9 million and cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million at December 31, 2008. Our working capital decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to an overall decline in activity during the first six months of 2009 compared to the prior six months and the timing of cash receipts related to collection of trade receivables and cash disbursements for current trade payables.
     The following table summarizes cash flows by type for the periods indicated (in thousands):
                 
    Six Months Ended
    June 30,
            Revised
    2009   2008
Cash flows provided by (used in):

Investing activities
    (14,542 )     (150,475 )
Financing activities
    (201,362 )     (25,362 )
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased $39.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase in operating cash flows in 2009 reflects an increase in cash receipts due primarily to collections of outstanding accounts receivable, with lower activity levels resulting in a decline in billings and revenues. Concurrent with the decrease in activity levels, accounts payable balances decreased relative to the same period in 2008, as older payables clear and fewer

new payables have been recorded. Operating cash flows were also impacted by the timing of business acquisitions throughout 2008.
     Net cash used in investing activities declined by $135.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Of this decrease, $111.6 million was due to a reduction in the funds used to invest in capital equipment, which was $134.4 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $22.8 million for the same period in 2009. We decreased our overall capital expenditures budget for 2009 in response to the decline in commodity prices and anticipated activity levels. We expect to expend significantly less for capital expenditures in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008. In addition, we invested $71.9 million in business acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2008, with no corresponding business acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and we received $50.2 million as proceeds from the sale of a discontinued operation in May 2008. We do not anticipate completing acquisitions for cash consideration until market conditions stabilize, but will continue to evaluate the acquisition of complementary businesses. We will evaluate each acquisition opportunity based upon the circumstances and our financing capabilities at that time.
     Net cash used by financing activities was $201.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We repaid long-term borrowings under our debt facilities totaling $200.4 million and only borrowed $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The primary source of these funds in 2009 was cash flow from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we borrowed $138.2 million and repaid $173.1 million, a net repayment of $34.9 million under our debt facilities. The source of funds for this net repayment was cash flow from operations and funds received from the sale of a discontinued operation in 2008. Borrowings were used to fund capital expenditures, business acquisitions and general corporate needs. For 2009, we are focusing on eliminating any obligations under our credit facility and building cash. Our long-term debt balances, including current maturities, were $650.5 million and $847.6 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
     We believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months if activity levels and capital markets do not materially decline from current levels.
Dividends
     We did not pay dividends on our $0.01 par value common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather plan to build our cash balance near-term, then reinvest such funds in our business when market conditions begin to stabilize. Furthermore, our credit facility contains restrictive debt covenants which preclude us from paying future dividends on our common stock.
Description of Our Indebtedness
Senior Notes.
     On December 6, 2006, we issued 8.0% senior notes with a face value of $650.0 million through a private placement of debt. These notes have a maturity of 10 years, with a maturity date of December 15, 2016, and require semi-annual interest payments, paid in arrears and calculated based on an annual rate of 8.0%, on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on June 15, 2007. There was no discount or premium associated with the issuance of these notes. The senior notes are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by all of our current domestic subsidiaries. The senior notes have covenants which, among other things: (1) limit the amount of additional indebtedness we can incur; (2) limit restricted payments such as a dividend; (3) limit our ability to incur liens or encumbrances; (4) limit our ability to purchase, transfer or dispose of significant assets; (5) limit our ability to purchase or redeem stock or subordinated debt; (6) limit our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; (7) limit our ability to merge with or into other companies or transfer all or substantially all our assets; and (8) limit our ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We have the option to redeem all or part of these notes on or after December 15, 2011. We can redeem 35% of these notes on or before December 15, 2009 using the

37


Table of Contents

proceeds of certain equity offerings. Additionally, we may redeem some or all of the notes prior to December 15, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a make-whole premium.
     Pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the holders of our 8.0% senior notes, on June 1, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which enabled these holders to exchange their notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms. These holders exchanged 100% of the notes for publicly traded notes on July 25, 2007.
     On August 28, 2007, we entered into a supplement to the indenture governing the 8.0% senior notes, whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture. Effective April 1, 2009, we entered into a second supplement to this indenture whereby additional domestic subsidiaries became guarantors under the indenture.
Credit Facility.
     On December 6, 2006, we amended and restated our existing senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as U.S. Administrative Agent, and certain other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement initially provided for a $310.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility that will mature in December 2011 and a $40.0 million Canadian revolving credit facility (with Integrated Production Services, Ltd., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the borrower thereof) that will mature in December 2011. In addition, certain portions of the credit facilities are available to be borrowed in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euros and other currencies approved by the lenders.
     Subject to certain limitations, we have the ability to elect how interest under the Credit Agreement will be computed. Interest under the Credit Agreement may be determined by reference to (1) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin between 0.75% and 1.75% per annum (with the applicable margin depending upon our ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the agreement)), or (2) the Base Rate (i.e., the higher of the Canadian bank’s prime rate or the CDOR rate plus 1.0%, in the case of Canadian loans or the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, in the case of U.S. loans), plus an applicable margin between 0.00% and 0.75% per annum. If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, advances will bear interest at the then-applicable rate plus 2%. Interest is payable quarterly for base rate loans and at the end of applicable interest periods for LIBOR loans, except that if the interest period for a LIBOR loan is six months, interest will be paid at the end of each three-month period.
     The Credit Agreement also contains various covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to: (1) grant certain liens; (2) make certain loans and investments; (3) make capital expenditures; (4) make distributions; (5) make acquisitions; (6) enter into hedging transactions; (7) merge or consolidate; or (8) engage in certain asset dispositions. Additionally, the Credit Agreement limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness if: (1) we are not in pro forma compliance with all terms under the Credit Agreement, (2) certain covenants of the additional indebtedness are more onerous than the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, or (3) the additional indebtedness provides for amortization, mandatory prepayment or repurchases of senior unsecured or subordinated debt during the duration of the Credit Agreement with certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement also limits additional secured debt to 10% of our consolidated net worth (i.e., the excess of our assets over the sum of our liabilities plus the minority interests). The Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, require us and our subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows (with such ratios tested at the end of each fiscal quarter): (1) total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and (2) EBITDA, as defined, to total interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under the amended and restated Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2009. However, there can be no assurance as to our future compliance in light of the very uncertain industry conditions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, including Our Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008.
     Under the Credit Agreement, we are permitted to prepay our borrowings.
     All of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of our U.S. subsidiaries as well as a pledge of approximately 66% of the

38


Table of Contents

stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the U.S. portion of the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries. All of the obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries. Additionally, all of the obligations under the Canadian portions of the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us as well as certain of our subsidiaries.
     If an event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, as defined, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. While an event of default is continuing, advances will bear interest at the then-applicable rate plus 2%. For a description of an event of default, see our Credit Agreement which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2006 as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
     On June 29, 2007, we amended our Credit Agreement in conjunction with the restructuring of certain legal entities for tax purposes with no material changes to the financial provisions or covenants.
     Effective October 19, 2007, we amended certain terms of our Credit Agreement including: (1) a provision to increase the borrowing capacity of the U.S. revolving portion of the facility from $310.0 million to $360.0 million; and (2) a provision to include a “commitment increase” clause, as defined in our Credit Agreement, which permits us to effect up to two separate increases in the aggregate commitments under the facility by designating a participating lender to increase its commitment, by mutual agreement, in increments of at least $50.0 million with the aggregate of such commitment increases not to exceed $100.0 million and in accordance with other provisions as stipulated in the amendment. In addition, the amendment specifies the terms for prepayment of outstanding advances and new borrowings and replaces Schedule II to the amended Credit Agreement which allocates the commitments amongst the member financial institutions.
     We had no borrowings outstanding under our U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement was approximately 1.87%. There were letters of credit outstanding which totaled $45.6 million under the U.S. revolving portion of the facility that reduced the available borrowing capacity at June 30, 2009 to $314.4 million. The available borrowing capacity under the Canadian revolving portion of the facility was $40.0 million at June 30, 2009. We incurred fees of 1.25% of the total amount outstanding under our letter of credit arrangements. As of August 5, 2009, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement and our outstanding letters of credit totaled $54.6 million. The increase in letters of credit from June 30, 2009 was related to a planned $9.0 million increase required by our insurance carrier for claims.
     In accordance with the seller notes issued in conjunction with certain business acquisitions consummated in 2004, we repaid all outstanding principal and interest under these note arrangements totaling $3.5 million upon maturity in March 2009.
Outstanding Debt and Commitments
     Our contractual commitments have not changed materially since December 31, 2008, except for repayments of approximately $193.5 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, primarily with cash flow from operations.
     We have entered into agreements to purchase certain equipment for use in our business. The manufacture of this equipment requires lead-time and we generally are committed to accept this equipment at the time of delivery, unless arrangements have been made to cancel delivery in accordance with the purchase agreement terms. We believe that our available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities and our operating cash flows should be sufficient to fund our firm purchase commitments.
     If we complete business acquisitions in the future, we may use cash from operations, proceeds from future debt or equity offerings and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities for this purpose.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Authoritative Guidance
     In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” which will replace that pronouncement in its entirety. While the revised statement will retain the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141, it will also require that all assets and liabilities and non-controlling interests of an acquired business be measured at their fair value, with limited exceptions, including the recognition of acquisition-related costs and anticipated restructuring costs separate from the acquired net assets. In addition, the statement provides guidance for recognizing pre-acquisition contingencies and states that an acquirer must recognize assets and liabilities assumed arising from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at acquisition-date fair values, but must recognize all other contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values only if it is more likely than not that these contingencies meet the definition of an asset or liability in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements.” Furthermore, this statement provides guidance for measuring goodwill and recording a bargain purchase, defined as a business combination in which total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and it requires that the acquirer recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. This statement became effective on January 1, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. We adopted SFAS No. 141R on January 1, 2009 with no impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     In September 2008, the FASB issued an FSP No. FAS 144-d, “Amending the Criteria for Reporting a Discontinued Operation,” which clarifies the definition of a discontinued operation as either: (1) a component of an entity which has been disposed of or classified as held for sale which meets the criteria of an operating segment as defined under SFAS No. 131, or (2) as a business, as such term is defined in SFAS No. 141R which becomes effective on January 1, 2009, which meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale on acquisition. This proposed guidance further modifies certain disclosure requirements. We are currently evaluating the effect this proposed guidance may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which provides guidance as to the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after a balance sheet date in its financial statements and the necessary disclosures related to these events. Specifically, the entity should recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including significant estimates used to prepare financial statements. An entity must disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We adopted SFAS No. 165 effective June 30, 2009 and will apply its provisions prospectively.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” This “codification” will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for all non-governmental entities. The SEC Rules and Releases will also continue to be the authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants under authority of the U.S. federal securities laws. This statement becomes effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will supercede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. We are currently evaluating the impact that this pronouncement may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of June 30, 2009, we had no significant off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
     The demand, pricing and terms for oil and gas services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of activity for the U.S. and Canadian oil and gas industry. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: the supply of and demand for oil and gas; the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and gas; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and gas; the expected rates of declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves; available pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; political instability in oil-producing

40


Table of Contents

countries; technical advances affecting energy consumption; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; and merger and divestiture activity among oil and gas producers.
     The level of activity in the U.S. and Canadian oil and gas exploration and production industry is volatile. No assurance can be given that our expectations of trends in oil and gas production activities will reflect actual future activity levels or that demand for our services will be consistent with the general activity level of the industry. Any prolonged substantial reduction in oil and gas prices would likely affect oil and gas exploration and development efforts and therefore affect demand for our services. A material decline in oil and gas prices or U.S. and Canadian activity levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 5% of our revenues from continuing operations and 3% of our total assets were denominated in Canadian dollars, our functional currency in Canada. As a result, a material decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively impact our revenues, cash flows and net income. Each one percentage point change in the value of the Canadian dollar would have impacted our revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 by approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We do not currently use hedges or forward contracts to offset this risk.
     Our Mexican operation uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency, and as a result, all transactions and translation gains and losses are recorded currently in the financial statements. The balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the end of the month and the income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the month. We estimate that a hypothetical one percentage point change in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar would have impacted our revenues for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 by approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million. Currently, we conduct a portion of our business in Mexico in the local currency, the Mexican peso.
     None of our debt at June 30, 2009 was structured under floating rate terms and, as such, we are not currently exposed to fluctuations in the prime rates in the U.S. and Canada.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rules 13a — 15(e) and 15d — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009 at the reasonable assurance level.
     In June 2009, we discovered accounting errors within one of our operations located in the Rocky Mountain region, which occurred in prior years and would have impacted our reported operating results for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The majority of the errors were due to control deficiencies relating to our revenue accrual process and with respect to inventory. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were involved in determining the assessment of these errors on our previously published financial statements. We determined that these errors were not material to the previously filed financial statements or to Management’s Report on Controls over Financial Reporting issued in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008. However, we did identify several control deficiencies at this subsidiary pertaining to the revenue accrual process and the recording and monitoring of inventory, as well as control deficiencies related to management’s

41


Table of Contents

oversight of accounting processes and procedures for this subsidiary. We do not believe that these errors constituted a material weakness due to other mitigating controls which we determined were operating effectively. We are in the process of completing our investigation relating to the accounting errors and are assessing the additional control processes necessary to correct the significant deficiencies identified. We intend to fully remediate these processes prior to filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.
     There have been no changes to our system of internal control procedures that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     In the normal course of our business, we are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims and occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials, on the job injuries and fatalities as a result of our products or operations. Many of the claims filed against us relate to motor vehicle accidents which can result in the loss of life or serious bodily injury. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. In certain cases, we are entitled to indemnification from the sellers of such businesses.
     Although we cannot know or predict with certainty the outcome of any claim or proceeding or the effect such outcomes may have on us, we believe that any liability resulting from the resolution of any of these matters, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     We have historically incurred additional insurance premium related to a cost-sharing provision of our general liability insurance policy, and we cannot be certain that we will not incur additional costs until either existing claims become further developed or until the limitation periods expire for each respective policy year. Any such additional premiums should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q or our other SEC filings, could have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. For a detailed discussion of the risk factors that should be understood by any investor contemplating investment in our stock, please refer to the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There has been no material change in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
     In accordance with the provisions of the 2008 Incentive Award Plan, holders of unvested restricted stock were given the option to either remit to us the required withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock, or to authorize us to repurchase shares equivalent to the cost of the withholding tax and to remit the withholding taxes on behalf of the holder. Such repurchases for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 are summarized in the following table:

The holders of these shares have the option to either remit taxes due related to the vesting of these shares or to authorize us to purchase the shares at the current market value in a sufficient amount to settle the related tax withholding. The amount purchased will depend on the market value at the time and whether or not the holders choose to surrender shares in settlement of the related tax withholding.
