Description
of business
|
National
Energy Services Reunited Corp. is a British Virgin Islands corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas. The Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, NPS and GES, is a regional provider of products and services to the oil and gas industry in the Middle
East and North Africa (“MENA”) and Asia Pacific (“APAC”) regions.
NESR
was originally incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a special purpose acquisition company on January 23, 2017 for the
purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, or contractual control arrangement
with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or
more businesses or entities.
NESR
filed a registration statement for its initial public offering on May 11, 2017, and on May 17, 2017, NESR sold 21,000,000 units,
each consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant, generating gross proceeds of $210 million. Simultaneously with the closing
of its initial public offering, NESR consummated the sale of 11,850,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price
of $0.50 per warrant in a private placement to its sponsor, NESR Holdings Ltd. (“NESR Holdings”), generating gross
proceeds of $5.9 million. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share. On May 30, 2017, in connection
with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, NESR consummated the sale of an additional
1,921,700 units at $10.00 per unit and the sale of an additional 768,680 Private Warrants at $0.50 per warrant, generating total
gross proceeds of $19.6 million.
Following
the closing of the above transactions, an aggregate amount of $229.2 million from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in
the initial public offering and the Private Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) until the earlier
of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.
On
June 6, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), NESR consummated the Business Combination, acquiring all of the issued and outstanding
equity interests of NPS Holdings Limited (“NPS”) and Gulf Energy Company SAOC (“GES”). Consequently, the
proceeds held in the Trust Account aggregating to $231.8 million (including interest) were released.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP
for interim financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Super
8-K and the Proxy Statement.
The
Business Combination was accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combination.
Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the facts and circumstances including:
●
|
The
transfer of cash by NESR;
|
|
|
●
|
NESR’s
executive management comprise the C-Suite of the combined company;
|
|
|
●
|
NESR’s
right to designate members of the board; and
|
|
|
●
|
NESR
initiated the Business Combination.
|
As
a result of the Business Combination, NPS and GES are acquirees and NPS is determined to be the accounting “Predecessor”.
The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a Predecessor for periods prior to the Closing Date. NESR is
the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes the consolidated financial results of both NPS
and GES. The transactions were accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor
financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting for both NPS and GES that is based on the fair value of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. See Note 4, Business combination, for further discussion on the Business Combination. As a result of
the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date, the financial statements for the Predecessor period
and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis of accounting and are, therefore, not comparable. The historical
information of NESR prior to the Business Combination has not been reflected in the Company’s financial statements prior
to June 7, 2018, as it was not deemed the Predecessor.
In
the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Successor periods are for the three months ended September
30, 2018 (“Successor Quarter”) and from June 7, 2018 to September 30, 2018 (“Successor Period”) and the
Predecessor periods are for the three months ended September 30, 2017 (“2017 Predecessor Quarter”), January 1, 2018
to June 6, 2018 (“Predecessor Period”) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (“2017 Predecessor Period”).
Statement of income activity of NESR prior to the closing of the Business Combination is recorded in the opening retained earnings
as of June 7, 2018.
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging
growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared
effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are required to comply with
the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition
period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised
and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt
the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the
Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an
emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates made towards preliminary purchase price allocation
for the acquisition of NPS and GES, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and
intangible assets, provision for inventories obsolescence, recoverability of unbilled revenue, provision for liabilities pertaining
to uncertain tax positions, recoverability of deferred taxes and contingencies and actuarial assumptions in employee benefit plans.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect
of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,
which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such
adjustments consist of only those that are normal recurring in nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Reclassifications
We
have made certain reclassifications to our prior period amounts in our balance sheet to conform to the current period presentation.
Such reclassifications did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Summary
of significant accounting policies
|
Consolidation
The
Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a majority voting interest and entities that meet the criteria for variable
interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes. The Company eliminates
intercompany transactions and accounts in consolidation. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for an investment
in an entity if it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity that (a) does not meet the variable interest
entity criteria or (b) meets the variable interest entity criteria, but for which the Company is not deemed to be the primary
beneficiary. The Company applies the cost method of accounting for an investment in an entity if it does not have the ability
to exercise significant influence over the unconsolidated entity. The Company separately presents within equity on the consolidated
balance sheets the ownership interests attributable to parties with non-controlling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries,
and separately presents net income attributable to such parties on the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Income
taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an
asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are computed for differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future
deductible or taxable amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the deductible or taxable
temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
ASC
Topic 740 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold for evaluating tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position, based solely on the technical merits, must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Subsidiaries operate in multiple tax jurisdictions in the Middle East,
North Africa and Asia. The Company has provided for income taxes based on enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect in the foreign
countries where the Company operates and earns income. The income taxes in these jurisdictions vary substantially. The Company
engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty and examination by the varying taxing authorities.
Significant judgment is required by the Company’s management in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions.
While the Company prepares tax returns based on interpretations of tax laws and regulations, in the normal course of business
the tax returns may be subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future assessments
of additional tax, interest and penalties. For purposes of the Company’s income tax provision, a tax benefit is not recognized
if the tax position is not more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Considerable judgment is
involved in determining which tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained. The Company’s management has not completed
its review of unrecognized tax benefits at the Subsidiaries related to the Business Combination.
Net
income per ordinary share
Basic
income per ordinary share was computed by dividing basic net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average
number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share was computed by dividing diluted net income attributable
to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus dilutive potential ordinary shares,
if any. Dilutive potential ordinary shares include outstanding warrants or other contracts to issue ordinary stock and are determined
by applying the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable, if dilutive.
Concentration
of credit risk
The
Company’s assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables from customers.
The Company places its cash with financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one of them. The Company
regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of the issuers in which it invests. The Company minimizes this credit risk by entering
into transactions with high-quality counterparties, limiting the exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition
of its counterparties.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable,
loans and borrowings, contingent payment and an embedded derivative. Other than the embedded derivative and contingent consideration,
the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to their
short-term nature.
Fair
value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels
and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair
value measurement:
●
|
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
Accounts
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. No interest is charged on past-due balances. The Company grants credit
to customers based upon an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition. The Company periodically monitors the payment
history and ongoing creditworthiness of customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowances management considers historical losses
adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customer’s financial conditions, the amount of receivable
in dispute, current receivables ageing and current payment patterns. Significant accounts receivable balances and balances that
have been outstanding greater than 90 days are reviewed for collectability. Account balances, when determined to be uncollectable,
are charged against the allowance.
Service
inventories
The
Company’s service inventory consists of spare parts, chemicals and raw materials to support ongoing operations which are
held for the purpose of service contracts and are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost is based on
the weighted average cost principle and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the service inventories. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.
The
Company determines reserves for service inventory based on historical usage of inventory on-hand, assumptions about future demand
and market conditions and estimates about potential alternative uses, which are limited.
Property,
plant and equipment
Property,
plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of ordinary maintenance and repair is charged to
operating expense, while replacement of critical components and major improvements that extend the life of the related asset are
capitalized. Capital work in progress mainly represents costs incurred on drilling rigs and equipment that are in transit at the
reporting date. No depreciation is charged to capital work in progress. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated
using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life as follows:
Buildings
and leasehold improvements
|
5
to 25 years or the estimated lease period, whichever is shorter
|
Drilling
rigs, plant and equipment
|
3
to 15 years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
5
years
|
Office
equipment and tools
|
3
to 6 years
|
Vehicles
and cranes
|
5
to 8 years
|
Property,
plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may indicate include, but are not
limited to, matters such as a significant decline in market value or a significant change in business climate (“triggering
events”). An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
The
amount of impairment loss recognized is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. In determining the
fair market value of the assets, the Company considers market trends and recent transactions involving sales of similar assets,
or when not available, discounted cash flow analysis. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges of property, plant and
equipment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for any of the periods presented.
Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell. Upon sale or other disposition
of an asset, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on disposal measured as the difference between the net carrying value of the
asset and the net proceeds received.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Goodwill
is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances require. The Company performs a qualitative
assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount. If the Company determines, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is not more-likely-than-not that
the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is required. If the Company
determines, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment assessment is performed using a two-step, fair-value based test.
Under the first step, goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets
(including allocated goodwill) to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using
a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates
and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, discount rates, operating margins, weighted average
costs of capital, market share and future market conditions, among others. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater
than its fair value, a second step is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair
value of the reporting unit in a hypothetical purchase price allocation analysis. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this
hypothetical purchase price allocation is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the recorded carrying
value of goodwill is written down to the implied fair value. The Company has not recorded any impairment charge for goodwill in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for any of the periods presented.
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The
Company’s intangible assets with finite lives consist of customer contracts, trademarks and trade names and software. The
cost of intangible assets with finite lives is amortized over the estimated period of economic benefit, ranging from five to nine
years. Asset lives are adjusted whenever there is a change in the estimated period of economic benefit. No residual value has
been assigned to these intangible assets.
Intangible
assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may
not be recoverable. These conditions may include a change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or a change
in future operations. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount by preparing estimates of future revenue,
margins and cash flows. If the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment
loss is recognized. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Fair value
of these assets may be determined by a variety of methodologies, including discounted cash flow models.
Commitments
and contingencies
The
Company accrues for costs relating to litigation claims and other contingent matters, including liquidated damage liabilities,
when such liabilities become probable and reasonably estimable. In circumstances where the most likely outcome of a contingency
can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for that amount. Where the most likely outcome cannot be estimated,
a range of potential losses is established and if no one amount in that range is more likely than others, the low end of the range
is accrued. Such estimates may be based on advice from third parties or on management’s judgment, as appropriate. Revisions
to contingent liabilities are reflected in income in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances
change that affect the Company’s previous judgments with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Amounts paid upon
the ultimate resolution of contingent liabilities may be materially different from previous estimates and could require adjustments
to the estimated reserves to be recognized in the period such new information becomes known.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company’s revenues are generated principally from providing services and related equipment as well as renting tools and
equipment.
Revenues
associated with services are recognized when the services are rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from
services and equipment are based on fixed or determinable priced purchase orders or contracts with the customer and do not include
the right of return. Rates for services and equipment are priced on a per day, per unit of measure, per man hour or similar basis.
Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are
excluded from revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Services performed but not billed at the end of
the reporting period are classified as unbilled revenues. Unbilled revenues for services performed are calculated based on the
rates stated in the purchase orders or contracts with the customers. Unbilled revenues are typically billed within one to six
months depending on the nature of customer contract.
Revenue
associated with the rental of tools and equipment is recorded on the basis of daily hire rates applicable under the relevant agreement
on a straight-line basis.
Segment
information
An
operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. Similar operating segments can be aggregated into a
single operating segment if the businesses are similar. Management has determined that the Company has two operating segments
and two reportable segments, which reflects the manner in which the CODM operates the Company. The Company’s CODM is its
Chief Executive Officer.
Stock-based
compensation arrangements
The
Company recognizes all employee stock-based compensation as a cost in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant date fair value using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and estimates the number of forfeitures expected to occur. The Company’s estimates
may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors,
additional stock option grants, estimates of forfeitures, the Company’s performance, and related tax impacts. The Company
has a long-term incentive plan that has been approved by the board of directors and shareholders.
Derivative
financial instruments
The
Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives
or contain features that qualify as an embedded derivative. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities,
the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in
the fair value reported as other income (expense).
Recent
accounting pronouncements
As
an emerging growth company, the Company has elected the option to defer the effective date for adoption of new or revised accounting
guidance. This option allows the Company to adopt new guidance on the effective date for entities that are not public business
entities.
Recently
issued accounting standards not yet adopted
On
August 28, 2018 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No 2018-13, “Fair
Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.”
ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13
are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
On
August 6, 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”. This ASU is intended
to reduce costs and ease implementation of the leases standard for financial statement preparers. ASU 2018-11 provides a new transition
method and a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. Under this new transition method, an entity initially
applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2018-11 provide lessors with a practical expedient, by
class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for
those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance
(Topic 606). This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the pronouncement and assessing the impact, if any, on its
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting.” ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently
only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services.
Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The amendments
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
On
February 14, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification
of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” These amendments provide an option to reclassify
stranded tax effects with AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate
tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The ASU requires financial statement disclosures that
indicate a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI; whether there is an election to reclassify
the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and information about the other income tax effects are reclassified.
These amendments affect any organization that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive
Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income
as required by U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated
financial statements.
In
March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation
of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”, which amends the presentation of net periodic
pension and postretirement benefit cost (“net benefit cost”). The service cost component of net benefit cost will
be bifurcated and presented with other employee compensation costs, while other components of net benefit costs will be presented
separately outside of income from operations. The standard is required to be applied on a retrospective basis and will be for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the
adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill.” The update amends Accounting Standard
Codification No. 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, provides guidance that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment
for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in today’s two-step impairment test under
accounting topic 350. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment
tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have
an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. This standard clarifies
the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should
be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of asset or business. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is allowed
for transactions that occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments only when the transaction has not
been reported in the financial statements previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have
an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update
amends Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 230 “Statement of Cash Flows” and provides guidance and clarification
on presentation of certain cash flow issues. This update will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning after
December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments”. The new standard amends the impairment model for trade receivables, net investments in leases, debt securities,
loans and certain other instruments to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology.
This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual
periods. Early adoption will be permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating
the provisions of the pronouncement and assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update
requires that entities record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) through the
income statement. This update will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and for
interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, a new standard on accounting for leases. This update increases
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and
disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the pronouncement
and assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement
of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This update requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation
and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income. However,
an entity may elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment,
if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment
of the same issuer. This update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the pronouncement and assessing the impact, if
any, on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which
outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition
requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 sets forth
a five-step model for determining when and how revenue is recognized. Under the model, an entity will be required to recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive
in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
(“ASU 2015-14”), which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year and is effective for
the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently analyzing the provisions of the pronouncement and assessing the impact of the new standard on revenue contracts and
expects to complete its evaluation by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
On
June 6, 2018, NESR consummated the Business Combination and related financing transactions, acquiring all of the issued and outstanding
equity interests of NPS and GES.
NPS
is a regional provider of products and services to the oil and gas industry in the MENA and APAC regions. Its revenues are primarily
derived from services provided during the drilling, completion and production phases of an oil or natural gas well. NPS operates
in 12 countries with the majority of its revenues derived from operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Qatar, UAE
and Iraq.
GES
provides drilling equipment for rental and related services, well engineering services and directional drilling services imports,
and sells oilfield equipment and renders specialized services to oil companies in the Sultanate of Oman, the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, Algeria, Kuwait and Yemen.
Description
of the NPS Transaction
First
closing
. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of November 12, 2017, among NESR and Hana Investments Co. WLL (“Hana
Investments”), as purchasers, the NPS selling stockholders, as sellers, and NPS, Hana Investments agreed to pay $150.0 million
to NPS selling stockholders in exchange for 83,660,878 shares of NPS. This payment was made on January 14, 2018.
Second
closing
. At closing of the Business Combination, following approval by the NESR shareholders, NESR purchased the remaining
outstanding NPS shares with $292.8 million in cash and 11,318,828 NESR ordinary shares for the balance of the purchase price,
adjusted for any NPS Leakage. “NPS Leakage” is defined in the NPS stock purchase agreement to cover transfers or removals
of assets from NPS for the benefit of the NPS selling stockholders, other than receivable proceeds, which may have occurred between
the Locked Box Date (as defined in the NPS stock purchase agreement) and the Closing Date.
Contemporaneously
with the Closing Date, Hana Investments agreed to transfer the 83,660,878 NPS shares it acquired from the NPS selling stockholders
to NESR in exchange for NESR ordinary shares valued at $11.244 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 13,340,448 NESR ordinary
shares to Hana Investments. In addition, NESR agreed to pay Hana Investments an amount of interest accrued from the date of the
payment of the $150.0 million to the NPS selling stockholders until the Closing Date, up to $4.7 million in cash or 418,001 NESR
ordinary shares. On the Closing Date, the Company paid interest totaling $4.7 million in NESR ordinary shares. NESR, in accordance
with the NPS stock purchase agreement, paid an additional $7.6 million in cash as contingent consideration for the renewal of
a major customer contract by NPS at closing of the Business Combination.
The
stock purchase agreement contains earn-out mechanisms that enable the sellers to receive additional consideration after the closing
of the Business Combination as follows:
●
|
First
Equity Stock Earn-Out: Up to 1,671,704 NESR ordinary shares will be issued to the NPS selling stockholders if the 2018 EBITDA
(earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of NESR satisfies scheduled financial thresholds.
|
●
|
Second
Equity Stock Earn-Out: Up to an additional 1,671,704 NESR ordinary shares will be issued to the NPS selling stockholders if
the 2018 EBITDA of NESR satisfies scheduled thresholds higher than the First Equity Stock Earn-Out financial thresholds.
|
The
equity earn-outs at close were fair valued at $16.2 million and, provided 2018 EBITDA targets are met, NESR ordinary shares would
be issued in fiscal year 2019.
NESR
was also required to make additional payments for delays in receiving shareholder approval to complete the Business Combination.
The NPS selling stockholders had negotiated a fee (the “Ticker Fee”) that began to accrue daily on cash not paid by
January 1, 2018. On June 6, 2018, NESR entered into an agreement with the NPS selling stockholders to waive a portion of the accrued
Ticker Fee. The resulting final Ticker Fee amounted to $13.4 million, which was paid in cash, and NESR agreed to reimburse the
NPS selling stockholders for $5.2 million of fees, costs and expenses related to the acquisition by NESR of all of the outstanding
NPS shares.
Description
of the GES Transaction
On
June 6, 2018, NESR acquired 88% of the outstanding shares of GES from certain owners of GES in exchange for the issuance of 25,309,848
NESR ordinary shares, and NESR Holdings acquired the remaining 12% of the outstanding shares of GES for a total cash purchase
price of $29.3 million (collectively, the “GES Transaction”), subject to certain adjustments. These adjustments relate
to permitted Leakage (as defined in the GES stock purchase agreements), which may have occurred between the Locked Box Date (as
defined in the GES stock purchase agreements) and the Closing Date. NESR Holdings organized financing of the acquisition through
certain loan contracts with 11 investors (the “GES Investors”). NESR Holdings then assigned the GES shares which it
acquired to NESR, and NESR assumed the obligation to satisfy the loan contracts. The loan contracts allowed for the GES Investors
to receive either NESR ordinary shares, GES shares or cash in satisfaction of the loans, and in most of these contracts such election
was at NESR’s discretion, subject to GES Investors having the right for 21 days after filing of the Proxy Statement to reject
in writing acceptance of NESR ordinary shares. NESR elected to issue NESR ordinary shares to satisfy the loan contracts, and the
GES Investors did not elect to reject in writing their acceptance of said NESR ordinary shares. The loan contracts were interest
bearing and accrued interest of $1.1 million upon settlement, with such interest being paid in NESR ordinary shares. NESR issued
a total of 3,036,381 NESR ordinary shares in settlement of the loan contracts and accrued interest.
Description
of the Hana Loan
On
June 5, 2018, NESR entered into a Loan Agreement with Hana Investments, pursuant to which NESR borrowed $50.0 million (the “Hana
Loan”) on an unsecured basis. For a description of the Hana Loan, see Note 9, Debt.
Financing
of Business Combination
Consideration
for the Business Combination was funded through the following sources and transactions:
●
|
investments
and cash equivalents held in trust of $202.1 million related to NESR’s initial public offering of units;
|
|
|
●
|
use
of cash and cash equivalents acquired from the acquisition of NPS of $18.7 million towards payment of the Ticker Fee and reimbursement
of NPS selling shareholders expenses;
|
|
|
●
|
issuance
of 4,829,375 NESR ordinary shares for $48.3 million to MEA Energy Investment Company 2 Ltd. (the “Backstop Investor”)
pursuant to a backstop commitment (the “Backstop Commitment”). The funds received from such Backstop Commitment
were used to help fund the cash portion of the consideration to the NPS selling stockholders, transaction expenses in the
Business Combination, and for other general corporate purposes;
|
|
|
●
|
the
borrowing of $50.0 million from Hana Investments;
|
●
|
the
issuance of 13,758,449 NESR ordinary shares to Hana Investments in exchange for its NPS shares and as payment for interest
accrued on Hana Investments’ $150.0 million purchase of NPS shares. Based on negotiations between NESR and Hana Investments,
NESR paid $4.7 million of accrued interest in the form of NESR ordinary shares;
|
|
|
●
|
the
issuance of 11,318,828 NESR ordinary shares to the NPS selling stockholders in exchange for their NPS shares;
|
|
|
●
|
the
issuance of 25,309,848 NESR ordinary shares to certain owners of GES in exchange for their GES shares; and
|
|
|
●
|
the
assumption and subsequent conversion of the GES loan contracts and related interest from NESR Holdings into 3,036,381 NESR
ordinary shares in exchange for its GES shares.

The
fair value of NESR ordinary shares was determined based upon the $10.19 per share closing price of NESR ordinary shares on
June 6, 2018, the closing date of the Business Combination.
|
Accounting
treatment
The
Business Combination is accounted for under ASC 805. Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR has been determined to be the accounting acquirer.
Refer to Note 2, Basis of presentation, for more information. NPS and GES both constitute businesses, with inputs, processes,
and outputs. Accordingly, the acquisition of NPS and GES both constitute the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805,
and due to the change in control of each of NPS and GES, was accounted for using the acquisition method. NESR recorded the fair
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from NPS and GES. The preliminary allocation of the consideration to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various estimates. The purchase price allocation for the Business
Combination is preliminary because of the timing of the Business Combination, calculation of working capital adjustments based
on agreements between NESR and the selling shareholders, evaluation of legal contingencies and complexities in the valuation process.
As such, material adjustments may result when the estimates are finalized, which will not extend beyond one year from the acquisition
date. These adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The following
table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price allocation (in thousands):

In
the Successor Quarter, the Company updated its valuation of certain identifiable assets and liabilities as of June 6, 2018. These
measurement period changes resulted in an increase of $56.8 million to goodwill. Corresponding changes were made to specific identifiable
assets including a reduction to intangible assets of $32 million, property, plant and equipment of $15.5 million and accounts
receivable of $12.6 million. Furthermore, other receivables, accounts payable, investments in joint ventures and other current
liabilities were reduced by $4.7 million, $5.7 million, $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. These adjustments had no
material impact on the net income or total shareholders’ equity for the Successor Quarter.
The
gross contractual amount of accounts receivable at the closing date of the Business Combination was $60.8 million and $20.5 million
for NPS and GES, respectively.
Intangible
assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion described in ASC 805. The

Goodwill
$532.4
million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value
of the underlying net tangible and identifiable definite-lived intangible assets acquired. Qualitative factors that contribute
to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets
apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of the strong market positions and
the assembled workforces at the Subsidiaries. The amount allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to final
adjustment to reflect the final valuations. Further, the Company is in the process of allocating the value of its intangible assets
to the various entities. These allocations could have a material impact on the amount of deferred tax liabilities recognized associated
with intangible assets, if any, and the amount allocated to goodwill.
In
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will
be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event management determines
that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the quarter in which
the determination is made may be recognized.
Transaction
costs
The
Company incurred $17.2 million in advisory, legal, accounting, and management fees and $2.2 million of transaction costs paid
in NESR shares through September 30, 2018, which includes the amounts the Company had spent prior to the closing of the Business
Combination. These costs are recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations
in connection with the Business Combination. Transaction costs are reported as a cash outflow from operating activities by the
Company.

Hana
Loan agreement
In
connection with the Business Combination, on June 5, 2018, NESR entered into the Hana Loan with Hana Investments pursuant to which
NESR borrowed $50.0 million on an unsecured basis. The Hana Loan matures on December 17, 2018 and can be prepaid at any time in
cash or NESR ordinary shares at a conversion rate of $11.244 per share, at the election of the lender after NESR delivers five
business days’ notice of its intent to repay the Hana Loan. The Hana Loan is interest bearing and will accrue interest at
the greater of (i) an amount equal to $4.0 million or prorated if the loan is prepaid; and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to one-month
Intercontinental Exchange LIBOR, adjusted monthly on the first day of each calendar month, plus a margin of 2.25% payable on maturity
or prepaid. The interest is payable in NESR ordinary shares or cash at the election of the lender. The loan was subject to an
origination fee of $0.6 million payable in NESR ordinary shares at $11.244 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 53,362
shares at closing of the Business Combination. In addition, Hana Investments has the right to convert the principal of the Hana
Loan into NESR ordinary shares on or prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $11.244 per share. If as a result of exercising
any conversion rights in the Hana Loan, Hana Investments’ total shareownership equals or exceeds 20% of the then outstanding
NESR shares, then the conversion of any amount into NESR ordinary shares will be contingent upon NESR receiving any required shareholder
approval for such issuance of NESR ordinary shares under applicable NASDAQ rules.
Embedded
derivative in Hana Loan
The
conversion feature in the Hana Loan qualifies as an embedded derivative under ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging and was bifurcated
at inception from the Hana Loan. The Company estimates the fair value of this embedded conversion feature using the Goldman Sachs
convertible note model and the Black Derman Toy model with the following assumptions:

Murabaha
credit facility
NPS
entered into a syndicated Murabaha facility (the “NPS Murabaha Credit Facility”) for $150.0 million. Murabaha is an
Islamic financing structure where a set fee is charged rather than interest. This type of loan is legal in Islamic countries as
banks are not authorized to charge interest on loans, therefore banks charge a flat fee for continuing daily operations of the
bank in lieu of interest.
The
NPS Murabaha Credit Facility is from a syndicate of three commercial banks. The NPS Murabaha Credit Facility is repayable in quarterly
installments ranging from $1.1 million to $57.9 million commencing from August 1, 2019, with the last installment due on May 28,
2025. The NPS Murabaha Credit Facility carries a stated interest rate of three months LIBOR plus a fixed profit margin of 3.25%
per annum. The NPS Murabaha Credit Facility was partially secured by personal guarantee of one individual shareholder on a pro-rata
basis with his shareholding percentage. Letters of awareness were executed by the corporate shareholders as credit support for
the NPS Murabaha Credit Facility. Effective upon closing of the Business Combination, NESR executed guarantees of the borrowings
outstanding and additional borrowings under the NPS Murabaha Credit Facility.
The
NPS Murabaha Credit Facility contains certain covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a total debt-to-total
capitalization ratio, restrict certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of NPS’ assets or a significant
subsidiary of NPS and limit the amount of NPS’ subsidiary indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default,
NPS’ obligations under the NPS Murabaha Credit Facility may be accelerated. Such events of default include payment defaults
to lenders under the NPS Murabaha Credit Facility, covenant defaults and other customary defaults. As of September 30, 2018, NPS
was in compliance with all of the credit facility’s covenants.
APICORP
bilateral term facility of $50.0 million
NPS
entered into a $50.0 million term loan facility on February 4, 2018 with Arab Petroleum Investors Corporation (“APICORP”)
which was repaid on July 3, 2018.
A
new bilateral term loan facility for $50.0 million was obtained from APICORP and fully drawn by the Company on July 3, 2018. This
facility was obtained to support investments and general business purposes for a period of four years and is repayable in 16 equal
quarterly installments of $3.1 million, commencing from September 3, 2018, with the last installment due on May 3, 2022. The facility
carries a stated interest rate of three months LIBOR plus the fixed interest of 2.75% per annum. The Company has provided a corporate
guarantee for the facility.
Costs
incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method and netted against the carrying
amount of the related borrowing.
The
facility contains covenants which include, among others, certain financial ratios to be maintained at the NPS level, including
a gearing ratio of 1.5:1. The gearing ratio is calculated as all of NPS’s debt divided by NPS’ total equity and debt.
SABB
bilateral term facility of $50.0 million
On
July 9, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary National Petroleum Technology Company (“NPT KSA”) entered into a Bilateral
Term Loan Facility (the “NPT KSA Facility”) for Saudi Riyals (“SAR”) 187.5 million ($50.0 million), of
which SAR 93.75 million ($25.0 million) was drawn on July 9, 2018 and second tranche of SAR 93.75 million ($25 million) was drawn
down on August 27, 2018.
The
NPT KSA Facility was obtained from Saudi Arabian British Bank (“SABB”) for a period of four years. The facility is
repayable in 15 equal quarterly installments. For the drawn down amount of SAR 187.5 million ($50.0 million), quarterly installments
of SAR 12.5 million ($3.3 million) are repayable commencing from September 9, 2018 with the last installment due on March 9, 2022.
The
NPT KSA Facility carries a stated interest rate of three months Saudi Arabian Interbank Offered Rate (“SAIBOR”) plus
the fixed interest of 2.75% per annum. SAIBOR is a daily reference rate, published by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, based
on the averaged interest rates at which Saudi banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the Saudi Riyal wholesale
money market (or interbank market). Certain subsidiaries of NPS provided a corporate guarantee of the facility.
Costs
incurred to obtain financing are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method and netted against the carrying
amount of the related borrowing.
The
NPT KSA Facility contains covenants which include, among others, certain financial ratios to be maintained at NPT KSA level, including
a gearing ratio of 3:1. The gearing ratio is calculated as all NPT KSA’s debt divided by the NPT KSA’s total equity
and debt.

Fair
value accounting
|
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value
at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company
would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets
and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and
to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable
inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level
1:
|
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which
transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis.
|
|
|
Level
2:
|
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
|
Level
3:
|
Unobservable
inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized
to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable,
loans and borrowings and an embedded derivative. Other than the embedded derivative, the fair value of the Company’s financial
instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term
nature.
The
contingent consideration consists of the equity earn-outs included in the NPS stock purchase agreement that enables the sellers
to receive additional consideration after the closing of the Business Combination. Refer to Note 4, Business combination, for
further discussion. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value and are based on significant inputs not observable
in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Significant increases (decreases) in these
unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The valuation of contingent
consideration uses assumptions and estimates to forecast a range of outcomes and probabilities for the contingent consideration.
The first and second equity earn-outs are tied to 2018 EBITDA performance measures and are quantified based on expected 2018 EBITDA
targets being met. The equity earn-outs were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework using Geometric
Brownian Motion and have an undiscounted range of outcomes between $0 and $33.4 million. The simulation was calibrated to management’s
forecasts. The assumptions in the analysis include the projected 2018 NESR EBITDA, volatility of the 2018 NESR EBITDA projection,
NESR stock price, volatility of NESR stock price, correlation between 2018 NESR EBITDA and NESR stock price, NESR’s weighted
average cost of capital and prevailing interest rates. The model used the following assumptions:

The
Company will assess the assumptions and estimates on a quarterly basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained.
Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to updated assumptions and estimates will be recognized within
selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during the period in which the change
occurs.
Benefit
plans
The
Company provides defined benefit plan of severance pay to the eligible employees. The severance pay plan provides for a lump sum
payment to employees on separation (retirement, resignation, death while in employment or on termination of employment) of an
amount based upon the employees last drawn salary and length of service, subject to the completion of minimum service period (1-2
years) and taking into account the provisions of local applicable law or as per employee contract. The Company records annual
amounts relating to these long-term employee benefits based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions,
including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its
assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate
to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience
and market conditions. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn these benefits.
The Company also provides a defined contribution retirement plan and occupational hazard insurance for Omani employees. Contributions
to a defined contribution retirement plan and occupational hazard insurance for Omani employees in accordance with the Omani Social
Insurances Law are recognized as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as incurred.

Share-based compensation
|
On
May 18, 2018, the NESR shareholders approved the NESR 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), effective upon the
closing of the Business Combination. A total of 5,000,000 ordinary shares are reserved for issuance under the LTIP. The board
of directors approved the LTIP on February 9, 2018, including the performance criteria upon which performance goals may be based.
The
purpose of the LTIP is to enhance NESR’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make)
important contributions to NESR by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. The Company intends to use
share-based awards to reward long-term performance of the executive officers. The Company believes that providing a meaningful
portion of the total compensation package in the form of share-based awards will align the incentives of its executive officers
with the interests of its shareholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual executive officers.
During
the Successor Quarter, the Company awarded 685,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the LTIP at a value of $7.5
million. The RSUs were allocated to the recipients at a grant date fair value of $11 per share and vest ratably on an annual basis
over a 3-year period (1/3 of the shares vest at the anniversary of the grant date). A corresponding expense related to these awards
of $0.3 million was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the Successor Quarter. The remaining balance
will be amortized over a period of approximately 34 months on a straight-line basis.

The
Company recorded rental expense of $25.2 million, $31.2 million, $19.5 million, $7.9 million and $21.8 million during the Successor
Quarter, Successor Period, Predecessor Period, 2017 Predecessor Quarter and the 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively, in the
consolidated statement of operations.
Other
commitments
The
Company has outstanding letters of credit amounting to $8.6 million as at September 30, 2018.
As
of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had a liability of $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, on the
condensed consolidated balance sheet included in the line item “Other liabilities” reflecting various tax liabilities
associated with the 2014 acquisition of NPS Bahrain.
In
the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet arrangements,
such as surety bonds for performance, and other bank issued guarantees, which totaled $38.6 million and $37.8 million as of September
30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.
None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our condensed consolidated interim
financial statements.
Registration
rights
The
Company is a party to various registration rights agreements with holders of its securities. These registration rights agreements
provide certain holders with demand and “piggyback” registration rights, and holders have other rights to require
the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights are
subject to various limitations. The Company generally bears the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements. On July 16, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form F-3 pursuant to the registration rights agreements,
which was declared effective on August 22, 2018.
Litigation
The
Company is involved in certain legal cases in the normal course of business, the outcome of which is currently subject to uncertainties
and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss are difficult to ascertain.
Consequently, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from
ultimate resolution of these disputes. The Company is contesting these claims/disputes and the Company management believes that
presently provision against these potential claims is not required as the ultimate outcome of these disputes would not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position.
The
Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of ordinary shares, no par value, and preferred shares, no par value. The Company’s
ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of the date of this Report, there were 85,562,769 ordinary shares
outstanding, 22,921,700 public warrants and 12,618,680 private warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase
one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $5.75 per half share at any time commencing on July 6, 2018 (30 days after the completion
of the Business Combination). The warrants must be exercised for whole ordinary shares. No public warrants are exercisable for
cash unless there is an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares.
The
private warrants are identical to the public warrants except that such warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration
statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis, at the
holder’s option, and will not be redeemable so long as they are still held by the initial purchasers or their affiliates.
The warrants expire on June 6, 2023 (five years after the completion of the Business Combination).
The
Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares divided into five classes with designations, voting and
other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2018, there
were no preferred shares currently issued or outstanding.
At
the Closing Date, there were 11,730,425 ordinary shares outstanding that were not subject to possible redemption and 16,921,700
ordinary shares that were subject to possible redemption as a result of the Business Combination that were recorded outside of
permanent equity as a liability on NESR’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. On the Closing Date, the 16,921,700 ordinary
shares were reclassed to permanent equity at the fair value of $165.2 million (redemption value of $10.11 per share less $0.35
underwriting fee per share or $9.76 per share). Of the ordinary shares reclassed, 1,916,511 ordinary shares were redeemed for
$19.4 million ($10.11 per share). In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, $3.7 million in NESR ordinary
shares (307,465) was issued for underwriting fees.
As
discussed in Note 4, Business combination, pursuant to the NPS stock purchase agreement dated November 12, 2017, Hana Investments
exchanged its portion of the acquired NPS shares, totaling 83,660,878 shares, for 13,340,448 NESR ordinary shares, including accrued
interest, at the time that NESR completed the Business Combination. At closing of the Business Combination, NESR purchased the
remaining outstanding NPS shares with $292.8 million in cash and 11,318,828 NESR ordinary shares, subject to certain adjustments.
Also, on the Closing Date, the Company paid interest totaling $4.7 million in stock (418,001 ordinary shares) to Hana Investments.
As
discussed in Note 9, Debt, on June 5, 2018, in connection with the Business Combination, NESR entered into the Hana Loan with
Hana Investments pursuant to which NESR borrowed $50.0 million on an unsecured basis. The loan was subject to an origination fee
of $0.6 million payable in NESR ordinary shares at $11.244 per share, which resulted in the issuance of 53,362 shares at closing
of the Business Combination.
In
connection with the Business Combination, on June 5, 2018, the Company entered into a Relationship Agreement with Hana Investments
(the “Olayan Relationship Agreement”), to set out certain rights to which Hana Investments will be entitled as a shareholder
of the Company and certain obligations of the Company and NESR Holdings. The Company reimbursed Hana Investments for transaction
fees and expenses in the amount of $2.1 million through the issuance of NESR ordinary shares at a conversion rate of $11.244 per
share (213,447 ordinary shares) at closing of the Business Combination.
On
June 6, 2018, NESR acquired 88% of the outstanding shares of GES from certain owners of GES in exchange for the issuance of 25,309,848
NESR ordinary shares, and NESR Holdings acquired the remaining 12% of the outstanding shares of GES for a total cash purchase
price of $29.3 million as discussed in Note 4, Business combination. NESR Holdings organized financing of the acquisition through
certain loan contracts and assigned the GES shares which it acquired to NESR, and NESR assumed the obligation to satisfy the loan
contracts. NESR elected to issue NESR ordinary shares to satisfy the loan contracts and issued a total of 3,036,381 NESR ordinary
shares in settlement of the loan contracts and accrued interest.
In
connection with the Business Combination, on April 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with the
Backstop Investor, as discussed in Note 4, Business combination. On the Closing Date, the Company drew down $48,293,763 under
the primary placement of the Forward Purchase Agreement and issued 4,829,375 ordinary shares to the Backstop Investor.
Predecessor
convertible shares
As
part of NPS’s acquisition of NPS Bahrain in 2014, NPS issued a total of 37,000,000 convertible shares to two of NPS Bahrain’s
shareholders, Mr. Abdulaziz Mubarak Al-Dolaimi and Mr. Fahad Abdulla Bindekhayel (selling shareholders). These shares were issued
to provide security against certain tax and related indemnities given by the selling shareholders at the time of acquisition of
NPS Bahrain. The convertible shares had the same rights and ranked pari passu with the NPS common shares, including the right
to participate in any dividend declared for ordinary shares and valued at $1 per share.
Under
the terms of the convertible shares, in the event any indemnity claims were settled by the selling shareholders by providing cash
to NPS, an equivalent amount of convertible shares would be converted into NPS common shares. However, in the event the indemnity
claims were not settled by the selling shareholders, an equivalent amount of convertible shares would be cancelled by NPS. These
convertible shares are equity classified because the conversion to equity shares or the cancellation of the same is at the option
of NPS. At the end of the June 2019, unless all indemnity claims were settled to the satisfaction of NPS, half of the convertible
shares were to convert into NPS common shares and the balance on extinguishment of contingencies. The convertible shares were
cancelled at closing of the Business Combination.
Predecessor
Basic
income per common share was computed using the two-class method by dividing basic net income attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share was computed using the two-class
method by dividing diluted net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
plus dilutive common equivalent shares. Dilutive common equivalent shares include all in-the-money outstanding contracts to issue
common shares as if they were exercised or converted.

NESR
is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands which imposes a zero percent statutory corporate income tax rate.
The Subsidiaries operate in multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the MENA and APAC regions. NPS is based in the Emirate of Dubai
in the UAE where no federal taxation exists and operates in 12 countries, where statutory tax rates generally vary from 0% to
35%. GES is based in the Sultanate of Oman, which has a 15% statutory corporate income tax rate, and also operates in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Kuwait and Yemen.
The
provision for income taxes is based on the tax laws and rates applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate and earn income.
For the Successor Period, the Company’s estimated effective tax rate was 19.5% based on estimated annual income from continuing
operations before income taxes. For the Predecessor Period the Company’s effective tax rate was 7.3%.
For
the Successor Period, the Company has not recorded deferred tax amounts related to the Business Combination purchase price allocation
adjustments because the Company is in the process of allocating the value of its intangible assets to the various entities. Accordingly,
the deferred tax impact, if any, related to the Business Combination purchase price allocation adjustments will be included in
the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Operating
segments are components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that are evaluated regularly by the
CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company reports segment information based on the
“management” approach and its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
The
Company’s services are similar to one another in that they consist of oilfield services and related offerings, whose customers
are oil and gas companies. The results of operations of the service offerings are regularly reviewed by the CODM for the Company
for the purposes of determining resource and asset allocation and assessing performance. The Company has determined that it has
two reportable segments, Production Services and Drilling and Evaluation Services. Management evaluates the operating results
of its reportable segments primarily based on revenue and segment EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income adjusted for
interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and income tax benefit or expense. Segment EBITDA does not include general corporate
expenses as these expenses are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments and not reported to the Company’s
CODM.
Production
Services that are offered depend on the well life cycle in which the services may fall. They include, but are not limited to,
the following types of service offerings: coil tubing, stimulation and pumping, nitrogen services, completions, pipelines, cementing,
laboratory services and filtration services.
Drilling
and Evaluation Services generates its revenue from offering the following service offerings: drilling and workover rigs, rig services,
drilling services and rentals, fishing and remedials, directional drilling, turbines drilling, drilling fluids, wireline logging
services, slickline services and well testing services.
The
Company’s operations and activities are located within certain geographies, primarily the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
region and the Asia Pacific region, which includes Malaysia, Indonesia and India.

Overview
We
were formed in the British Virgin Islands on January 23, 2017 as a special purpose acquisition company. On May 17, 2017, we consummated
our initial public offering of units, each consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one-half of one ordinary
share. On June 6, 2018, we consummated the Business Combination, acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares and other
equity interests of NPS and GES. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and other related transactions,
we issued and agreed to issue an aggregate of 67,013,503 ordinary shares and paid consideration in cash totaling $319.0 million,
and our public shareholders holding 1,916,511 ordinary shares elected to have such shares redeemed for an aggregate amount of
$19.4 million.
We
are a regional provider of products and services to the oil and gas industry in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”)
and Asia Pacific (“APAC”) regions. We currently operate in 15 countries, with a strong presence in Saudi Arabia, Oman,
Algeria, Qatar, UAE, and Iraq. We derive more than 95% of our revenue from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Algeria, Qatar, UAE and Iraq. With
its vast reserves of oil and gas, the MENA region continues to dominate in its role as a vital source of global energy supply
and stability. Our products and services include a broad suite of offerings that are essential in the drilling and completion
of new oil and natural gas wells and in the remedial work on existing wells, both onshore and offshore, including completion services
and equipment and drilling & evaluation services and equipment.
Description
of the NPS and GES Transactions
On
June 6, 2018, NESR acquired 100% of the outstanding NPS shares (the “NPS Transaction”) for total consideration amounting
to $590.8 million, including $319.0 million in cash, $288.8 million in NESR ordinary shares and 16.2 million in estimated value
of earn-outs. The earn-out mechanisms provide for the NPS selling stockholders to receive additional consideration after the closing
of the Business Combination as follows:
(1)
|
up
to 1,671,704 NESR ordinary shares if the 2018 EBITDA of NESR satisfies scheduled financial thresholds (the “First Equity
Stock Earn-Out”), and
|
|
|
(2)
|
up
to an additional 1,671,704 NESR ordinary shares if the 2018 EBITDA of NESR satisfies scheduled thresholds higher than the
First Equity Stock Earn-Out financial thresholds.
|
NESR
was also required to make additional payments for delays in receiving shareholder approval to complete the Business Combination
amounting to $13.4 million, plus $5.2 million for reimbursement of NPS selling stockholders’ fees, costs and expenses related
to the NPS Transaction.
On
June 6, 2018, NESR also acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of GES, 88% of the outstanding shares were acquired directly from
certain owners of GES and the remaining 12% were acquired from NESR Holdings Ltd. (“NESR Holdings”) for total consideration
of $288.8 million, all in NESR ordinary shares, plus the assumption of certain convertible loan contracts that NESR Holdings entered
into to partially finance the GES Transaction (collectively, the “GES Transaction”). Upon the closing of the Business
Combination, NESR elected to convert the loan contracts, plus $1.1 million in accrued interest thereon, into NESR ordinary shares,
which were accepted by the holders.
Based
on the preliminary purchase price allocation in connection with the Business Combination, the aggregate consideration was allocated
to the assets and liabilities of the two acquired companies, now reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as
of September 30, 2018. Significant allocations were made to amortizable intangible assets, as a result of which the Company expects
to incur substantially higher amortization expenses than the two acquired companies have recorded historically.
For
more information on the Business Combination and its accounting impact, see “Basis of Presentation of Financial Information-Business
Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations” below and Note 4, Business combination, to the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report.
Our
ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In September 2018, we received confirmation from NASDAQ
that we were in compliance with the minimum round lot holder rules for our ordinary shares and warrants.
Factors
Affecting Our Results of Operations
Cyclical
Nature of Sector
We
provide oilfield services to exploration and production companies with operations in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors
in the MENA, particularly the Middle East, and APAC regions. Demand for our services is mainly driven by our customers’
operations and is therefore linked to global commodity prices and expectations about future prices, rig activity and other factors.
The
oilfield services sector is a highly cyclical industry. As a result, our operating results can fluctuate from quarter to quarter
and period to period. However, due to the lower average cost per barrel in the Middle East and the need for infrastructure spending
to sustain or increase current production levels of these oil rich countries, we believe that we are less affected by oil price
shocks as compared to oilfield services companies that operate in other regions, as discussed below.
Global
E&P Trends and Oil Prices
Since
the most recent downturn in oil prices, which commenced in 2014, many projects have been deferred by E&P companies, as they
sought to reduce oilfield service costs in an attempt to lower their break-even points. Pricing concessions were granted by service
providers in order to maintain their market share during these periods.
Global
E&P spending increased by approximately 4% in 2017, which was preceded by two years of double-digit declines. As oil prices
have recently started to rise, more projects are expected to become economically viable and it is expected that onshore spending
will increase. Given the recent depletion of global oil inventories, we expect production to rise in order to meet current estimated
demand. With diminishing oil reserves, we expect that increases in oil supply will be weighted towards replacing old wells and
implementing new technologies.
Drilling
Environments
Based
on energy industry data (as of March 2018) offshore oil production currently provides an estimated 30% of all global oil supply.
Although this is a significant portion, the bulk of oil production comes from onshore activity. We provide services to E&P
companies with both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Offshore drilling generally provides higher margins to service providers
due to greater complexity, logistical challenges and the need for innovative solutions. Our strategy going forward is to further
target offshore drilling in the MENA and APAC regions, although there is no guarantee that we will succeed in increasing the proportion
of offshore activities relative to our onshore activities.
Geographic
Concentration; Middle Eastern Operations
95%
of our revenue has historically come from the MENA region, and particularly the Middle East. The Middle East has almost half of
the world’s proven oil reserves and accounts for almost a third of oil production, according to the BP Statistical Review
of World Energy. The countries in the Arabian Gulf account for around 23% of global oil production and given the low break-even
price, it is a key region for oilfield service companies. Most oil and gas fields in the Middle East are legacy fields on land
or in shallow waters. These fields are largely engaged in development drilling activity, driven by the need for redevelopment,
enhanced oil recovery via stimulation and the drilling of new production wells. Further, a number of gas fields scheduled to be
developed in the near future will require oilfield services. Although the region still has low break-even levels, it is expected
that more complex offshore rigs, with higher break-even prices, will be developed in the future and other new technologies will
be required to meet customer expectations or drilling requirements. As a result, our capital expenditure and related financing
needs may increase materially in the future.
In
addition, regional drilling operations may be impacted by local political and economic trends. Due to the concentration of our
operations in the MENA region, and particularly the Middle East, our financial condition and results of operations may be impacted
by geopolitical, political or economic instability affecting the countries in which we operate, including armed conflict, imposition
of economic sanctions, changes in governments and currency devaluations, among others.
Our
exposure to geopolitical, political and economic instability is partially mitigated by the continued reliance of many MENA countries
on the energy sector as the major source of national revenues. For example, according to energy industry data, during the recent
industry downturn the MENA region saw less reduction in oil and gas activities than North America. Even at lower oil and gas prices,
such oil and gas dependent economies have continued to maintain significant production and drilling activities. Further, given
the Middle East markets have among the lowest break evens, they can continue to produce profitably at significantly lower commodity
prices.
Key
Components of Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
We
earn revenue from our broad suite of oilfield services, including coiled tubing, cementing, stimulation and pumping, well testing
services, drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling and workover rigs, nitrogen services, wireline logging
services, turbines drilling, directional drilling, filtration services and slickline services, among others. We recognize revenues
as services are rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. Our services are based on fixed or determinable price purchase
orders or contracts with customers and do not include a right of return. Rates for services and equipment are typically priced
on a per day, per man hour, per unit of measure or other similar basis.
Cost
of services
Cost
of services mainly include staff costs for service personnel, purchase of non-capitalized material and equipment (such as tools
and rental equipment), depreciation relating to capital assets used in our operations, vehicle and equipment rental and maintenance
and repair.
Selling,
general and administrative (“SG&A”)
SG&A
expense includes mainly salary and employee benefits for non-production personnel (mainly management and administrative personnel),
professional service fees (including expenses relating to the Business Combination), office rental and equipment, office supplies
and non-capitalized office equipment and depreciation of office furniture and fixtures.
Amortization
Amortization
expense includes mainly amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer contracts, trademarks and tradenames.
Interest
expense, net
Interest
expense consists mainly of interest on outstanding debt, net of interest income.
Other
income (expense), net
Other
operating income (expenses) consists mainly of gain/loss on disposal of fixed assets, bank charges and foreign exchange transaction
expenses.
Key
Performance Indicators
We
track two principal non-financial performance indicators that are important drivers of our results of operations: rig count and
oil price. Oil price is important because the level of spending by E&P companies, our principal customers, is significantly
influenced by anticipated future prices of oil, which is typically indicative of expected supply and demand. Changes in E&P
spending, in turn, typically result in an increased or decreased demand for our services. Rig count, particularly in the regions
in which we operate, is an indicator of the level of activity and spending by our E&P customers and has historically been
an important indicator of our financial performance and activity levels.
The
following table shows rig count and average oil prices as of and for the periods indicated:

Basis
of Presentation of Financial Information
Business
Combination Accounting and Presentation of Results of Operations
As
a result of the Business Combination, NESR was determined to be the accounting acquirer and NPS was determined to be the predecessor
for SEC reporting purposes. Pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC
805”), the acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration paid by NESR to affect the Business Combination was
allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. As a result of the application
of the acquisition method of accounting resulting from the Business Combination, the financial statements and certain notes separate
our presentations into two distinct sets of reporting periods, the periods before the consummation of the transaction (“Predecessor
Periods”) and the period after that date (“Successor Period”), to indicate the application of the different
basis of accounting between the periods presented. The Predecessor Periods reflect the historical financial information of NPS
prior to the Business Combination, while the Successor Period reflects our consolidated financial information, including the results
of NPS and GES, after the Business Combination. Successor periods are for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (“Successor
Quarter”) and June 7, 2018 to September 30, 2018 (“Successor Period) and the Predecessor periods are for the three
months ended September 30, 2017 (“2017 Predecessor Quarter”), January 1, 2018 to June 6, 2018 (“2018 Predecessor
Period) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (“2017 Predecessor Period”).
Our
statement of operations subsequent to the Business Combination includes depreciation and amortization expense on the NPS and GES
property, plant, and equipment balances resulting from the fair value adjustments made under the new basis of accounting. Certain
other items of income and expense, particularly depreciation and amortization were also impacted and NPS stand-alone results are
presented as the predecessor. Therefore, our financial information prior to the Business Combination is not comparable to our
financial information subsequent to the Business Combination.
Segments
We
operate our business and report our results of operations through two operating and reporting segments, Production Services and
Drilling and Evaluation Services, which aggregate services performed during distinct stages of a typical life cycle of an oil
well.
Production
Services
. Our Production Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offered and
performed during the production stage of a well’s lifecycle. These services mainly include coiled tubing, cementing, stimulation
and pumping, nitrogen services, filtration services, completions, pipelines, laboratory services and artificial lift services.
Our Production Services accounted for 61%, 62%, 82%, 84% and 85% of our revenues for the Successor Quarter, Successor Period,
2018 Predecessor Period, 2017 Predecessor Quarter and 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively.
Drilling
and Evaluation Services
. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services segment includes the results of operations from services that
are generally offered and performed during pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle and related mainly to the operation
of oil rigs. The services mainly include well testing services, drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling
and workover rigs, wireline logging services, turbines drilling, directional drilling, slickline services and drilling fluids,
among others. Our Production Services accounted for 39%, 38%, 18%, 16% and 15% of our revenues for the Successor Quarter, Successor
Period, 2018 Predecessor Period, 2017 Predecessor Quarter and 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively.

Production
Services revenue was $88.7 million for the Successor Quarter compared to $59.2 million for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. Apart
from the impact of the GES acquisition, the increase was due primarily to higher coiled tubing activity in Saudi, Qatar, Iraq,
and the United Arab Emirates.
Drilling
and Evaluation Services revenue was $56.9 million for the Successor Quarter compared to $11.3 million for the 2017 Predecessor
Quarter. Apart from the impact of the GES acquisition, this increase was primarily driven by increased well testing in Saudi and
Iraq, further enhanced by an increase in logging activity in Saudi.
Cost
of product and services
. Cost of services was $102.3 million for the 2018 Successor Third Quarter compared to $50.6 million
for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. Cost of services in the Successor Quarter was driven mainly by the impact of the GES acquisition
as well as higher customer activity levels in NPS. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue in the Successor Quarter
and the 2017 Predecessor Quarter was 70% and 72%, respectively. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was
mainly due to incremental revenue from Saudi drilling services with stronger pricing relative to prior periods Cost of services
included depreciation of $15.4 million and $8.9 million for the Successor Quarter and the 2017 Predecessor Quarter, respectively.
Gross
profit
. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue in the Successor Quarter and the 2017 Predecessor Quarter was 30%
and 28%, respectively. The increase in gross profit margins are largely due to the change in revenue mix as described above.
Selling,
general and administrative expense.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was $13.8 million
for the Successor Quarter compared to $7.5 million for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. Apart of the impact of the Business Combination,
SG&A costs have remained flat. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expense was 10% of revenue in the Successor Quarter as
compared to 11% in the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the Successor Period was
largely due to integration cost savings resulting from the Business Combination.
Amortization
expense.
Amortization expense was $3.6 million for the Successor
Quarter compared to $0.2 million for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. The increase in the Successor Quarter amortization was driven
mainly by recording the valuation of our acquired intangible assets resulting from the Business Combination.
Interest
expense, net.
Interest expense, net, was $6.2 million for the Successor Quarter compared to $0.7 million for the 2017
Predecessor Quarter. Excluding the impact of the Business Combination, the increase in interest expenses was due to additional
borrowings during 2018 further impacted by higher LIBOR rates.
Other
(expense) income, net.
Other income, net, was $0.5 million for the Successor Quarter compared to other expense of $1.2
million for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter. Excluding the impact of GES acquisition, other expenses decreased due to the lower legal
fees associated with the renewal of bank facilities during 2017.
Income
tax.
Income tax expense was $4.0 million for the Successor Quarter compared to a tax credit of $0.3 million for the 2017
Predecessor Quarter. The increase is primarily related to a change in the tax applied in Saudi (Zakat) as well as additional business
in Oman where the effective tax rate is higher than the historical rate paid. See Note 16, Income taxes, to our condensed consolidated
financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
Net
income.
Net income was $16.2 million for the 2018 Successor Quarter compared to $10.7 million for the 2017 Predecessor
Quarter.

$164.5 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the impact of GES, revenue for the combined Successor Period and the
2018 Predecessor Period would have been $208 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher coil tubing activity
in Saudi, Qatar, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.

Period and $142.7 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue was 73%, 76% and
74%, respectively. The decrease in trend is due mainly to revenue mix as discussed above. Cost of services included depreciation
of $19 million, $9.3 million and $28 million for the Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017 Predecessor Period,
respectively.

expense, net.
Interest expense, net, was $8.1 million, $4.1 million and $4.0 million for the Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor
Period and the 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. The relative increase in trend was attributable to both higher LIBOR rates
and higher fixed interest charges on the Murabaha bank loan, in addition to incremental interest charges arising on the new bridge
loan facility which was drawn down in early February 2018 and the Hana Loan which applies to the Successor Period to finance a
portion of the consideration for the Business Combination.
Other
(expense) income, net.
Other (expense) income, net, was negligible, income of $0.4 million and an expense of $1.3 million
for the Successor Period, 2018 Predecessor Period and the 2017 Predecessor Period, respectively. Excluding the impact of GES acquisition,

Production
Services EBITDA was $33.2 million for the Successor Quarter, as compared to $21.3 million for the 2017 Predecessor Quarter.
Excluding the impact of GES, EBITDA for the Successor Quarter would have been $27.6 million. The increase in segment EBITDA was
due primarily to higher coil tubing activity in Saudi, Qatar, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.
Drilling
and Evaluation Services EBITDA was $17.6 million for the Successor Quarter, as compared to $1.6 million for the 2017 Predecessor
Quarter. Excluding the impact of GES, EBITDA for the Successor Quarter would have been $10.1 million. The increase in segment
EBITDA was mainly due to higher well testing activity in Saudi and Iraq.
Production Services EBITDA
for the combined Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period was $78.8 million, compared to $58.5 million for the
2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the impact of the GES, EBITDA for the combined Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period
would have been $72.8 million. The increase in segment EBITDA was due primarily to higher coil tubing activity in Saudi, Qatar,
Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.
Drilling
and Evaluation Services EBITDA for the combined Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period was $22.2 million compared to
$3.3 million in the 2017 Predecessor Period. Excluding the impact of the GES, the increase in segment EBITDA was primarily driven
by higher well testing activity in Saudi and Iraq.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources and financial flexibility
to fund the requirements of our business. We had cash and cash equivalents amounting to $67.6 million as of September 30, 2018
(Successor) and $27.5 million as of December 31, 2017 (Predecessor). Our outstanding long-term debt amounted to $267 million as
of September 30, 2018 (Successor) and $147 million as of December 31, 2017 (Predecessor). We believe that our cash on hand, cash
flows generated from operations, and liquidity available through our credit facilities, including recently drawn facilities, will
provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs. See “Capital Resources” below.

Operating
Activities
Cash
flows from operating activities, aggregating the Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period, provided cash of $35.3 million
compared to $48.1 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $12.86 million in
the aforementioned 2018 periods compared to the 2017 Predecessor Period, primarily due to movements in components of working capital,
which largely comprised a decrease in accounts payable, an increase in other current assets partially offset by a decrease in
accounts receivable.
Investing
Activities
Cash
flows from investing activities, aggregating the Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period, used cash of $75.7 million
compared to $36.4 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Cash flows used for investing activities increased by $39.3
million in the aforementioned 2018 periods compared to the 2017 Predecessor Period, primarily due to the effect of the Business
Combination partially offset by reductions in capital expenditures in the aforementioned 2018 periods as compared to capital expenditures
in the 2017 Predecessor Period. Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that
we have the appropriate levels and types of machinery and equipment in place to generate revenue from operations.
Financing
Activities
Cash
flows from financing activities, aggregating the Successor Period and the 2018 Predecessor Period, provided cash of $112.0 million
compared to cash used of $8.9 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period. Cash flows from financing activities increased $120.9 million
in the aforementioned 2018 periods compared to the 2017 Predecessor Period, primarily due to proceeds issuance of shares ($48.3
million), lines of credit and other debt of $143 million, partially offset by impacts from the business combination and dividends
paid to shareholders in the 2018 Predecessor Period.
Credit
Facilities
As
of and after September 30, 2018, we had the following principal credit facilities and instruments outstanding or available:
|
●
|
Hana
Loan
: NESR entered into a $50.0 million unsecured loan with Hana Investments on June 5, 2018 (the “Hana Loan”).
The Hana Loan matures on December 17, 2018 and can be prepaid at any time in cash or NESR ordinary shares at a conversion
rate of $11.244 per share, at the election of the lender after NESR delivers five business days’ notice of its intent
to repay the Hana Loan. The Hana Loan will accrue interest at the greater of (i) an amount equal to $4.0 million through the
maturity date or prorated if the loan is prepaid and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to One Month ICE LIBOR, adjusted monthly
on the first day of each calendar month, plus a margin of 2.25% payable on maturity or when prepaid. The loan was subject
to an origination fee of $0.6 million payable in NESR ordinary shares at $11.244 per share, resulting in the issuance of 53,362
shares at closing of the Business Combination. In addition, Hana Investments has a right to convert the principal of the Hana
Loan into NESR ordinary shares on or prior to maturity at a conversion rate of $11.244 per share. If as a result of exercising
any conversion rights in the Hana Loan, Hana Investments’ total share ownership equals or exceeds 20% of the then-outstanding
NESR shares, then the conversion of any amount into NESR ordinary shares will be contingent upon NESR receiving any required
shareholder approval for such issuance of NESR ordinary shares under applicable NASDAQ rules
.
If the lender
elects repayment in cash, we may repay the Hana Loan with cash on hand or borrowings under our credit facilities or use proceeds
from other debt incurrences. We may also seek to extend the maturity date of the Hana Loan subject to approval by the lender.

Murabaha
Credit Facilities
: NPS entered into a syndicated Murabaha (an Islamic financing structure where a set fee is charged
rather than interest) facility for $150.0 million (the “NPS Murabaha Credit Facility”), which was fully drawn,
on November 26, 2014, with an original maturity date in 2020. The NPS Murabaha Credit Facility was amended in May 2017 to
extend the maturity date to May 28, 2025. The facility is repayable in quarterly installments ranging from $1.1 million to
$57.9 million commencing from August 1, 2019 with the last installment until, and on, the maturity date. The facility carries
a stated interest rate of three months LIBOR plus a fixed profit margin of 3.25% per annum and was partially secured by a
personal guarantee of one individual shareholder on a pro-rata basis with his shareholding percentage. Letters of awareness
were executed by the corporate shareholders as credit support for the Amended NPS Murabaha Credit Facility. Effective upon
closing of the Business Combination, NESR executed guarantees of the borrowings outstanding and additional borrowings under
the facility, and NESR guaranteed the facility upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The facility contains customary
events of default and covenants, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a total debt-to-total capitalization
ratio, restrict certain merger transactions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or those of a significant
subsidiary and limit the amount of our subsidiaries’ indebtedness. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with
all of the facility’s covenants.

NPS
term facility
: NPS entered into a $50.0 million term facility (the “NPS Term Loan”) on February 4, 2018
with Arab Petroleum Investors Corporation (“APICORP”). The loan was repayable by August 1, 2018. The facility
carried a stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a fixed profit margin of 1.50% per annum or $0.9 million until August
1, 2018. This facility was repaid on July 3, 2018 with the proceeds from the Bilateral Term Facility described below.

GES
Term Loan
: We are the guarantor of certain GES term loans with the National Bank of Oman, including a Tranche A, under
which $29.6 million was outstanding at September 30, 2018 $13.3 million of which short-term, and is repayable by equal quarterly
installments through maturity in July 2020. In 2017, a $20.0 million Tranche B facility was obtained by GES, of which $4.1
million was outstanding at September 30, 2018 $3.3 million of which short-term. Tranche B is repayable in equal quarterly
installments starting 18 months from the first drawdown through maturity in June 2022. Tranche A and Tranche B are subject
to interest at the rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 3.50% per annum. Tranche A and Tranche B contain customary covenants including,
among others, certain financial ratios to be maintained by GES, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio.

Bilateral
Term Facility
: We entered into a bilateral term credit facility for $50.0 million on July 3, 2018 (the “Bilateral
Term Facility”), which was fully drawn down at closing. As of July, 3, 2018, we had borrowings under the credit facility
of $50.0 million, $12.5 million of which was short-term. The facility is repayable in 16 equal quarterly installments commencing

SABB
187.5 Million SAR Term Loan Facility
: We are the guarantor of a term loan facility entered into by a subsidiary of
NPS with The Saudi British Bank for SAR 187.5 million ($50.0 million) (the “NPS SABB Facility”) on July 9, 2018.
The facility carries a stated interest rate of Saudi Arabian Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.75% per annum and is repayable
in 15 equal quarterly installments commencing in September 2018 and ending upon maturity in February 2022. As of September
30, 2018, we had drawn SAR 187.5 million $50.0 million under the facility. The facility contains certain customary covenants,
which among other things, require the NPS subsidiary to maintain a certain total debt to total capitalization ratio.
|
Capital
Resources
In
the next twelve months, we believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and the available credit facilities, including
at our subsidiaries, will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet
contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies.
If necessary, we may use short-term debt to fund cash needs in various countries in excess of the cash generated in those specific
countries.
We
plan to pursue strategic acquisitions as an element of our business strategy. The timing, size or success of any acquisition and
the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We may seek to fund all or part of any such acquisition
with proceeds from debt or equity issuances, or a combination thereof, or may issue equity directly to the sellers. Our ability
to obtain capital for strategic acquisitions will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly,
on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry,
the global economy, the global financial markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, any additional
debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant
burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in
significant dilution to our shareholders.
Other
Factors Affecting Liquidity
Guarantee
agreements
. In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet
arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, and other bank issued guarantees, which totaled $39 million and $28.4 million
as of September 30, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017, respectively. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can
be reasonably estimated. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
Customer
receivables
. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject
to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and
failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their
access to the credit markets as well as unsettled political conditions. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant
amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations
and consolidated financial condition. Over 70% of our revenue is attributable to three major oil company customers. Two of our
largest customers, Saudi Aramco and PDO, are owned by the governments of Saudi Arabia and Oman, respectively. It is customary
for Saudi Aramco to delay payments of a portion (10%) of receivables until all taxes due within the country are fully paid and
settled.
Dividend
Policy
We
have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and
general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. In addition,
our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection with our indebtedness.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
In
the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, we have entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as
surety bonds for performance, and other bank issued guarantees. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these financial
instruments. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements have had, or are likely to have, a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
As
of September 30, 2018, we had no material off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than normal operating leases. As such,
we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such financing
arrangements.
Contractual
Obligations
The
information in the Proxy Statement under the sections titled “NPS Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations” and “GES Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations” is incorporated by reference herein. For additional
information about our contractual obligations, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Contractual Obligations”
in the Second Quarter Report. As of September 30, 2018, there were no material changes to this disclosure regarding our contractual
obligations made in the Second Quarter Report.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
We
have defined a critical accounting estimate as one that is both important to the portrayal of either our financial condition or
results of operations and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates about matters that are uncertain.
We believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements. There are other items within our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements that
require estimation and judgment, but they are not deemed critical as defined above. This discussion and analysis should be read
in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this Report.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
The goodwill relating to each reporting unit is tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances,
indicates an impairment may have occurred.
Goodwill
is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances require. We perform a qualitative assessment
to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying
amount. If we determine, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of
the applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further testing is required. If we determine, as a result of
its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the applicable reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment assessment is performed using a two-step, fair value-based test. Under the first step,
goodwill is reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets (including allocated
goodwill) to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using a discounted cash
flow approach.
Determining
the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and
assumptions include revenue growth rates, discount rates operating margins, weighted average costs of capital, market share and
future market conditions, among others. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is greater than its fair value, a second
step is performed whereby the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in
a hypothetical purchase price allocation analysis. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this hypothetical purchase price allocation
is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the recorded carrying value of goodwill is written down
to the implied fair value.
Intangible
assets
Our
intangible assets with finite lives consist of customer contracts, trademarks and trade names, and software acquired in connection
with the Business Combination. The cost of intangible assets with finite lives is amortized over the estimated period of economic
benefit, ranging from eight to 10 years. Asset lives are adjusted whenever there is a change in the estimated period of economic
benefit. No residual value has been assigned to these intangible assets.
Intangible
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
These conditions may include a change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used or a change in future operations.
We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount by preparing estimates of future revenue, margins, and cash flows. In reviewing
for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the
use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded
value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. The determination
of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of assets involves significant estimates on the part of management. If
there is a material change in economic conditions or other circumstances influencing the estimate of future cash flows or fair
value, we could be required to recognize impairment charges in the future. Fair value of these assets may be determined by a variety
of methodologies, including discounted cash flow models.
Revenue
recognition
Our
revenues are generated principally from providing services and the related equipment. Revenues are recognized when the services
are rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from services and equipment are based on fixed or determinable
priced purchase orders or contracts with the customer and do not include the right of return. Rates for services and equipment
are priced on a per day, per unit of measure, per man hour or similar basis. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted
to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements
of income. Services performed but not billed at the end of the reporting period are classified as unbilled revenues. The unbilled
revenues for services performed are calculated based on the rates stated in the purchase orders or contracts with the customers.
The unbilled revenues are typically billed within one to six months depending on the nature of customer contract.
Income
taxes
Income
tax expense represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax. Interest and penalties relating to income tax are also included
in the income tax expense. Income tax is recognized in the statements of operations, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related tax is recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. Current tax is based on the taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit
as reported in the statements of operations because it is determined in accordance with the rules established by the applicable
taxation authorities. It therefore excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods as well
as items that are never taxable or deductible. Our liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred
tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable
temporary differences except:
●
|
where
the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of goodwill;
|
|
|
●
|
where
the deferred tax liability arises on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a Business
Combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
|
|
|
●
|
In
respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint
arrangements, where we are able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
|
Deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the
carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except where the deferred tax asset relating to the
deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of deductible
temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred
tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable
future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The
carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
The
computation of our income tax expense and liability involves the interpretation of applicable tax laws and regulations in many
jurisdictions throughout the world. The resolution of tax positions taken by us, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities
or through litigation, can take several years to complete and in some cases, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome.
Therefore, judgment is required to determine provisions for income taxes. In addition, we have carry-forward tax losses and tax
credits in certain taxing jurisdictions that are available to offset against future taxable profit. However, deferred tax assets
are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses
or tax credits can be utilized. Management judgment is exercised in assessing whether this is the case and estimates are required
to be made of the amount of future taxable profits that will be available.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Foreign
Currency Risk
We
are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transaction gains and losses
associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location’s
functional currency.
US
dollar balances in the UAE, KSA, OMR and Qatar entities are not considered to represent significant currency risk as the respective
currencies in these countries are pegged to the U.S. dollar. Our foreign currency risk arises from the settlement of transactions
in currencies other than our functional currency, specifically in Algerian Dinar, Libyan Dinar, Indian Rupee and Indonesian Rupiah.
However, customer contracts in these countries are largely denominated in U.S. dollars.
Credit
Risk
Credit
risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument may fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur
a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk on our accounts receivable and other receivables and certain other assets (such
as bank balances) as reflected in our consolidated balance sheet, with the maximum exposure equaling the carrying amount of these
assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We seek to manage our credit risk with respect to banks by only dealing with reputable
banks (our cash and cash equivalents are primarily held with banks and financial institution counterparties that are rated A1
to Baa3, based on Moody’s ratings) and with respect to customers by monitoring outstanding receivables and following up
on outstanding balances. Management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including
the default risk of the industry and the country in which our customers operate. We sell our products to a variety of customers,
mainly to national oil companies in the MENA and APAC regions.
Liquidity
risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. Our approach to managing liquidity
risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable costs or liabilities. We maintain cash flow forecasts to monitor
our liquidity position.
Accounts
payable are normally settled within the terms of purchase from the supplier. We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating
activities and the available credit facility will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working
capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term and long-term
operating strategies.
Market
Risk
We
are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates on our long-term borrowings as well as fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates applicable to our foreign subsidiaries and where local exchange rates are not pegged to the U.S. dollar
(Algeria, Libya and Iraq). However, the foreign exchange risk is largely mitigated by the fact that all customer contracts are
denominated in U.S. dollars.
We
do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.
ITEM
4. INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required
to be disclosed in our reports that we submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in
all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, with a company have been detected.
Material
Weakness identified as of December 31, 2017
As
of the year ended December 31, 2017, management identified a material weakness in our Predecessor’s internal controls over
financial reporting related to deficiencies in the financial statement close processes. We are addressing the material weakness
through hiring additional experienced professionals and evaluating our financial reporting process, including our policies and
procedures.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
We
are not and have not been involved in any material legal proceedings, other than ordinary litigation incidental to our business.
Although no assurances can be given about the final outcome of pending legal proceedings, at the present time we are not a party
to any legal proceeding or investigation that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
There
are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder
of more than five percent of voting securities, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the above-mentioned
companies’ interest.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
Risks
Relating to Our Business and Operations
There
are several factors that affect our business and operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information
set forth in this Report, careful consideration should be given to the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors”
in Part II, Item 1A of the Second Quarter Report. Such risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business
operations.
