PATTERSON-UTI ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Basis of presentation — The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidating interest of a joint venture (collectively referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours” and like terms). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and has no employees or independent operations. Certain immaterial prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency and functional currency for most of our operations except certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which use their local currencies as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. The effects of these translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures included either on the face of the financial statements or herein are sufficient to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the information in conformity with GAAP have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, as presented herein, was derived from our audited consolidated balance sheet but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (our “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report.
Restricted cash — Restricted cash includes amounts restricted as cash collateral for the issuance of standby letters of credit.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of such amounts shown in the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

| Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2025 |  | 2024
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 183,768 |  |  | $ | 72,444 |
Restricted cash | 2,123 |  |  | 2,592 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 185,891 |  |  | $ | 75,036 |

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards — In November 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements and enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses. We adopted this new accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2024 and expanded our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the update. See Note 14 for details.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In December 2023, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve income tax disclosure requirements. We plan to adopt this accounting pronouncement during fiscal year 2025, with the first disclosure enhancements to be reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact this pronouncement will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses, which requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our disclosures.

2. Revenues
ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Drilling Services and Completion Services — revenue is recognized based on our customers’ ability to benefit from our services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. This typically happens when the service is performed. The services we provide represent a series of distinct services, generally provided daily, that are substantially the same, with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Because our customers benefit equally throughout the service period, generally measured in days, and our efforts in providing services are incurred relatively evenly over the period of performance, revenue is recognized as we provide services to the customer.
Drilling Services revenue primarily consists of daywork drilling contracts for which related revenues and expenses are recognized as services are performed. For certain contracts, we receive payments for the mobilization of rigs and other drilling equipment. We defer revenue and related direct operating expense related to mobilizations and recognize those revenues and expenses on a straight-line basis as drilling services are provided. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas in which a contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Drilling Services operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For certain contracts, we are also entitled to early termination payments if our customers choose to terminate a contract prior to the expiration of the contractual term. We recognize revenue associated with early termination payments when all contractual requirements related to early termination payments have been met.
Completion Services revenue consists of services and products related to our suite of completion businesses, including hydraulic fracturing, completion support services, wireline and pumpdown services, and cementing. These services are provided pursuant to contractual arrangements, including pricing agreements. Revenue from these services is earned as services are rendered, which is generally on a per stage or fixed monthly rate, except for our cementing services. All revenue is recognized when a contract with a customer exists, the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied over time, the amount to which we have the right to invoice has been determined and collectability of amounts subject to invoice is probable. Contract fulfillment costs, such as mobilization costs and shipping and handling costs, are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Completion Services operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). To the extent fulfillment costs are considered separate performance obligations that are billable to the customer, the amounts billed are recorded as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Once a stage has been completed or products and services have been provided, a field ticket is created that includes charges for the service performed and the chemicals, proppant, and compressed natural gas consumed during the course of the service. The field ticket may also include charges for the mobilization of the equipment and inventory to the location, any additional equipment used on the job, and other miscellaneous items. The field ticket represents the amounts to which we have the right to invoice and to recognize as revenue.
A portion of our contracts contain variable consideration; however, this variable consideration is typically unknown at the time of contract inception, and is not known until the job is complete, at which time the variability is resolved. Examples of variable consideration include the number of hours that will be incurred and the amount of consumables (such as chemicals and proppants) that will be used to complete a job.
Revenue is presented net of any sales tax charged to the customer that we are required to remit to local or state governmental taxing authorities. Reimbursements for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services, shipping and other services that are provided at the request of our customers are recorded as revenue when incurred. The related costs are recorded as operating expenses when incurred.
ASC Topic 842 Revenue from Equipment Rentals
Drilling Products Revenue — revenues are primarily generated from the rental of drilling equipment, comprised of drill bits and downhole tools. These arrangements provide the customer with the right to control the use of the identified asset. Generally, the lease terms in such arrangements are for periods of two to three days and do not provide customers with options to purchase the underlying asset.
Other — we are a non-operating working interest owner of oil and natural gas assets primarily located in Texas and New Mexico. The ownership terms are outlined in joint operating agreements for each well between the operator of the well and the various interest owners, including us, who are considered non-operators of the well. We receive revenue each period for our working interest in the well during the period.
9

Accounts Receivable and Contract Liabilities
Accounts receivable is our right to consideration once it becomes unconditional. Payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days.
We do not have any significant contract asset balances. Contract liabilities include prepayments received from customers prior to the requested services being completed. Once the services are complete and have been invoiced, the prepayment is applied against the customer’s account to offset the accounts receivable balance. Also included in contract liabilities are payments received from customers for reactivation or initial mobilization of newly constructed or upgraded rigs that were moved on location to the initial well site. These payments are allocated to the overall performance obligation and amortized over the initial term of the contract. Total contract liability balances were $4.8 million and $75.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We recognized $70.5 million of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. Revenue related to our contract liabilities balance is expected to be recognized through 2028. The $4.5 million current portion of our contract liability balance is included in “Accrued liabilities” and the $0.3 million noncurrent portion of our contract liability balance is included in “Other liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred for newly constructed rigs or rig upgrades based on a contract with a customer are considered capital improvements and are capitalized to drilling equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Remaining Performance Obligations
We maintain a backlog of commitments for contract drilling services under term contracts, which we define as contracts with a duration of six months or more. Our contract drilling backlog in the United States as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $312 million. Approximately 9% of our total contract drilling backlog in the United States at June 30, 2025 is reasonably expected to remain at June 30, 2026. We generally calculate our backlog by multiplying the dayrate under our term drilling contracts by the number of days remaining under the contract. The calculation does not include any revenues related to fees for other services such as for mobilization, other than initial mobilization, demobilization and customer reimbursables, nor does it include potential reductions in rates for unscheduled standby or during periods in which the rig is moving or incurring maintenance and repair time in excess of what is permitted under the drilling contract. For contracts that contain variable dayrate pricing, our backlog calculation uses the dayrate in effect for periods where the dayrate is fixed, and, for periods that remain subject to variable pricing, uses commodity pricing or other related indices in effect at June 30, 2025. In addition, our term drilling contracts are generally subject to termination by the customer on short notice and provide for an early termination payment to us in the event that the contract is terminated by the customer. For contracts on which we have received notice for the rig to be placed on standby, our backlog calculation uses the standby rate for the period over which we expect to receive the standby rate. For contracts on which we have received an early termination notice, our backlog calculation includes the early termination rate, instead of the dayrate, for the period over which we expect to receive the lower rate. Please see “Our current backlog of contract drilling revenue may decline and may not ultimately be realized, as fixed-term contracts may in certain instances be terminated without an early termination payment” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report.

Depreciation and depletion expense on property and equipment of approximately $199 million and $216 million was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Depreciation and depletion expense on property and equipment of approximately $399 million and $460 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2025, global economic conditions deteriorated, in part, because of recently enacted and proposed trade policies and tariffs by the United States and other governments, as well as uncertainty regarding potential future changes to global trade policies and tariffs. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, OPEC+ countries began phasing out voluntary crude oil production cuts, leading to an increase in global supply. These developments, combined with rising geopolitical tensions—particularly in the Middle East— have heightened uncertainty in global energy markets, which has contributed to a decline in our share price, lowered average crude oil futures prices and increased uncertainty regarding the future economic environment in which we operate.
Negative market indicators such as lower industry-wide drilling rig and pressure pumping fleet count forecasts, increased volatility and margin compression for certain of our asset groups have led to our reduced outlook for activity. The reduction in activity forecasts combined with the recent decline in the market price of our common stock were considered a triggering event indicating certain of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets may be impaired. We deemed it necessary to perform recoverability tests on our hydraulic fracturing asset group within our completion services reporting unit and our Latin American contract drilling asset group during the second quarter of 2025. We estimated future cash flows over the expected remaining life of the primary asset for each asset group. On an undiscounted basis, the expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value of our hydraulic fracturing asset group within our completion services reporting unit, indicating that no impairment was required.
The recoverability test for our Latin American contract drilling asset group indicated that estimated undiscounted cash flows did not exceed its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an impairment test and estimated the fair value of the asset group using the income approach. Under this approach, we used a discounted cash flow model, which utilized present values of cash flows to estimate fair value. Forecasted cash flows reflected known market conditions in the second quarter of 2025 and management’s anticipated business outlook for the asset group. Future cash flows were projected based on estimates of revenue, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. Future cash flows were then discounted using a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Based on the results of the analysis performed, we recorded a $27.8 million impairment charge to Latin American drilling equipment during the three months ended June 30, 2025 in our drilling services segment.

While the full effects of recent market developments are yet to be determined, prolonged trade tensions and sustained lower crude oil futures prices could adversely affect our future outlook on activity and profitability. If these conditions persist or deteriorate further, or if other unforeseen macroeconomic conditions emerge, they could negatively impact the expected cash flows used in our recoverability tests for our asset groups. Such changes could result in impairment charges in the future, which could be material to our results of operations and financial statements as a whole.
6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill — During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no additions or impairments to goodwill. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our goodwill balance was $487 million.
Goodwill is evaluated at least annually on July 31, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below our operating segments. We determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value after considering qualitative, market and other factors. Any necessary goodwill impairment is determined using a quantitative impairment test. If the resulting fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount of the shortfall. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs are based on forecasts and significant judgment.
We determined our drilling products operating segment consists of a single reporting unit to which the goodwill from our 2023 acquisition of Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P. was allocated. We determined our completion services operating segment consisted of two reporting units; completion services, which was primarily comprised of our hydraulic fracturing operations and other integrated service offerings, and cementing services.
Goodwill Impairment Assessment — During the second quarter of 2025, we viewed the reduction in activity forecasts combined with the decline in the market price of our common stock as a triggering event that warranted a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment.
We estimated the fair value of the drilling products and cementing services reporting units using the income approach. Under this approach, we used a discounted cash flow model, which utilized present values of cash flows to estimate fair value. Forecasted cash flows reflected known market conditions in the second quarter of 2025 and the expected market outlook. Future cash flows were projected based on estimates of revenue growth rates, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. The terminal period used within the discounted cash flow model consisted of a growth estimate. Future cash flows were then discounted using a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgment must be applied to determine whether credit market changes are a short-term or long-term trend.
The forecast for the cementing services reporting unit assumed lower activity in 2026 compared to estimated average activity levels for full year 2025 and moderate growth estimates thereafter. Those estimates were based on future drilling rig count forecasts during the second quarter of 2025 and estimated market share. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the cementing services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value with a substantial cushion. Accordingly, no impairment was recorded.
The forecast for the drilling products reporting unit assumed lower activity during 2025 relative to 2024, with growth estimates thereafter. The increases in estimated activity assumed growth in both domestic and international markets. Those growth estimates were based on drilling rig count forecasts and estimated market share. Geopolitical instability in regions in which we expect to maintain and grow market share, an unfavorable legal proceeding outcome, a global decrease in the demand of drilling products or other unforeseen macroeconomic considerations could negatively impact the key assumptions used in our goodwill assessment for our drilling products reporting unit. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the drilling products reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 8%. Accordingly, no impairment was recorded.

(1)The borrowings outstanding under the Equipment Loans were paid off in full in June 2025.
Credit Agreement — On January 31, 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement amended and restated our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 27, 2018. The commitments under the Credit Agreement are $500 million, and the loans and commitments under the Credit Agreement mature on January 31, 2030.
13

The Credit Agreement provides for a committed senior unsecured credit facility that permits aggregate revolving credit borrowings of up to $500 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100 million and a swing line sub-facility that, at any time outstanding, is limited to the lesser of $50 million and the amount of the swing line provider’s unused commitment. Subject to customary conditions, we may request that the lenders’ aggregate commitments be increased by up to $200 million, not to exceed total commitments of $700 million.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest by reference, at our election, to the SOFR rate (plus a 0.10% per annum adjustment) or base rate, in each case subject to a 0% floor. The applicable margin on SOFR rate loans varies from 1.25% to 2.25% and the applicable margin on base rate loans varies from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case determined based on our credit rating. As of June 30, 2025, the applicable margin on SOFR rate loans was 1.75% and the applicable margin on base rate loans was 0.75%. A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to the applicable margin for SOFR rate loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee rate payable to the lenders varies from 0.15% to 0.35% based on our credit rating.
None of our subsidiaries are currently required to be a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. However, if any subsidiary guarantees or incurs debt, which does not qualify for certain limited exceptions and is otherwise, in the aggregate with all other similar debt, in excess of Priority Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement), such subsidiary is required to become a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default and associated remedies that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including certain restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our subsidiaries to grant liens and on the ability of each of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur debt. If our credit rating is below investment grade at both Moody’s and S&P, we will become subject to a restricted payment covenant, which would generally require us to have a Pro Forma Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 immediately before and immediately after making any restricted payment. Restricted payments include, among other things, dividend payments, repurchases of our common stock, distributions to holders of our common stock or any other payment or other distribution to third parties on account of our or our subsidiaries’ equity interests. Our credit rating is currently investment grade at both credit rating agencies. The Credit Agreement also requires that our total debt to capitalization ratio, expressed as a percentage, not exceed 50% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement generally defines the total debt to capitalization ratio as the ratio of (a) total borrowed money indebtedness to (b) the sum of such indebtedness plus consolidated net worth, with consolidated net worth determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement. We had $2.0 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2025 and, as a result, had available borrowing capacity of approximately $498 million under the Credit Agreement at that date.
2015 Reimbursement Agreement — On March 16, 2015, we entered into a Reimbursement Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”), pursuant to which we may from time to time request that Scotiabank issue an unspecified amount of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, we had $38.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Reimbursement Agreement.
Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, we will reimburse Scotiabank on demand for any amounts that Scotiabank has disbursed under any of our letters of credit issued thereunder. Fees, charges and other reasonable expenses for the issuance of letters of credit are payable by us at the time of issuance at such rates and amounts as are in accordance with Scotiabank’s prevailing practice. We are obligated to pay to Scotiabank interest on all amounts not paid by us on the date of demand or when otherwise due at the Prime rate plus 2.00% per annum, calculated daily and payable monthly, in arrears, on the basis of a calendar year for the actual number of days elapsed, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate as on the reimbursement amounts. A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to 1.50% times the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
We have also agreed that if obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on any of our or our subsidiaries’ property, then our reimbursement obligations and (to the extent similar obligations would be secured under the Credit Agreement) other obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and any letters of credit will be equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such liens securing the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to a Continuing Guaranty dated as of March 16, 2015, our payment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed as to payment and not as to collection by our subsidiaries that from time to time guarantee
14

payment under the Credit Agreement. None of our subsidiaries are currently required to guarantee payment under the Credit Agreement.
2028 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes and 2033 Senior Notes — On January 19, 2018, we completed an offering of $525 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.95% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). On November 15, 2019, we completed an offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.15% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). On September 13, 2023, we completed an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”).
We pay interest on the 2028 Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 2028 Notes will mature on February 1, 2028. The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.95% per annum.
We pay interest on the 2029 Notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2029 Notes will mature on November 15, 2029. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.15% per annum.
We pay interest on the 2033 Notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2033 Notes will mature on October 1, 2033. The 2033 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.15% per annum.
The 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2033 Notes (together, the “Senior Notes”) are our senior unsecured obligations, which rank equally with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of our other future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In addition, the Senior Notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. None of our subsidiaries are currently required to be a guarantor under the Senior Notes. If our subsidiaries guarantee the Senior Notes in the future, such guarantees (the “Guarantees”) will rank equally in right of payment with all of the guarantors’ future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any of the guarantors’ future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
At our option, we may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those Senior Notes to the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. Additionally, commencing on November 1, 2027, in the case of the 2028 Notes, on August 15, 2029, in the case of the 2029 Notes, and on July 1, 2033, in the case of the 2033 Notes, at our option, we may redeem the respective Senior Notes in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those Senior Notes to the applicable redemption date.
The indentures pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued include covenants that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur certain liens, engage in sale and lease-back transactions or consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to important qualifications and limitations set forth in the indentures.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the indentures, each holder of the Senior Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.
The indentures also provide for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Senior Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2025, we maintained letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $42.1 million primarily for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for retrospective premiums and retained losses that could become payable under the terms of the underlying insurance contracts and compliance with contractual obligations. These letters of credit expire annually at various times during the year and are typically renewed. As of June 30, 2025, no amounts had been drawn under the letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, we had $37.0 million in surety bond exposure issued as financial assurance on an insurance agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, we had commitments to purchase major equipment totaling approximately $94.8 million.
Our completion services segment has entered into agreements to purchase minimum quantities of proppants from certain vendors. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining minimum obligation under these agreements was approximately $27.1 million, of which approximately $9.2 million, $13.1 million, and $4.8 million relate to the remainder of 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.
Certain subsidiaries we acquired in the Ulterra acquisition are defendants in a claim brought by a subsidiary of NOV Inc. alleging breach of a license agreement related to certain patents. Such subsidiaries have asserted defenses to the claim and are defending vigorously against this claim.
On February 6, 2023, Grant Prideco, Inc., ReedHycalog UK, Ltd. ReedHycalog, LP, National Oilwell Varco, LP (“NOV”) sued Ulterra Drilling Technologies, LP (“Ulterra”) and several other companies in Texas state court. NOV seeks a declaration that United States Patent No. 8,721,752 (the “’752 Patent”) is a “Licensed RH Patent” per the terms of a license agreement between Ulterra and NOV. NOV also alleges a breach of contract based on the license agreement between NOV and Ulterra and seeks allegedly owed royalties since October 22, 2021. NOV also seeks attorney’s fees.
On February 27, 2023, Ulterra filed a plea to the jurisdiction, and subject thereto, an answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims. Ulterra’s counterclaims include: (i) declaratory judgments of non-infringement of U.S. Pat. No. 7,568,534 and the ’752 patent; (ii) a declaratory judgment of no royalties after Oct. 22, 2021; (iii) a declaratory judgment that certain other identified patents are expired and therefore not infringed after Oct. 22, 2021; and (iv) a declaratory judgment of no breach of contract. On the same day, Ulterra filed a notice of removal in federal court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (SDTX 4:23-cv-00730), as well as a corresponding notice in Texas state court. NOV moved to dismiss and remand the case back to state court. On February 17, 2024, the Court denied NOV’s motion. On March 19, 2024, Ulterra moved for judgment on the pleadings regarding its declaratory judgment that certain other identified patents are expired and therefore not infringed after October 22, 2021. On February 13, 2025, the motion was granted in part and denied in part.
Discovery is closed and dispositive motions are fully briefed. Trial is currently scheduled for October 27, 2025. An unfavorable judgment or resolution of this claim not covered by indemnity could have a material impact on our financial results.
Additionally, we are party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
10. Stockholders’ Equity
Cash Dividend — On July 23, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend on our common stock in the amount of $0.08 per share to be paid on September 15, 2025 to holders of record as of September 2, 2025. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of operations, financial condition, terms of our debt agreements and other factors. Our Board of Directors may, without advance notice, reduce or suspend our dividend for any reason, including to improve our financial flexibility and position our company for long-term success. There can be no assurance that we will pay a dividend in the future.
Share Repurchases and Acquisitions — In September 2013, our Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program. In February 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase of the authorization under the stock buyback program to allow for an aggregate of $1.0 billion of future share repurchases. All purchases executed to date have been through open market transactions. Purchases under the buyback program are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. Purchases may be made at any time without prior notice. There is no expiration date associated with the buyback program. As of June 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization to purchase approximately $728 million of our outstanding common stock under the stock buyback program. Shares of stock purchased under the buyback program are held as treasury shares.

As of June 30, 2025, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested cash-settled restricted stock units totaling $3.6 million. The weighted-average remaining vesting period for these unvested cash-settled restricted stock units was 2.83 years as of June 30, 2025.
Performance Unit Awards — We have granted performance unit awards to certain employees (the “Performance Units”). The Performance Units generally vest over a three-year period based on the achievement of performance goals. Historically, Performance Units have been tied to total shareholder return (“TSR”) achievement as compared to the TSR of a designated peer group, and allow for a payout ranging between 0% and 200% of the target payout. With respect to the Performance Units granted in May 2025, (i) one-half are cash-settled and are otherwise structured similarly to the 2024 Performance Units with vesting tied to our TSR over 1-, 2- and 3-year performance periods (the “2025 TSR Performance Units”), and (ii) one-half are share-settled and tied to our relative free cash flow return over the three-year period commencing January 1, 2025 as compared to the free cash flow return of a designated peer group (“FCF”), and allow for a payout ranging between 0% and 200% of the target payout (the “2025 FCF Performance Units”).
Share-settled Performance Units, excluding the 2025 FCF Performance Units, have vesting terms subject to a market condition and are measured at fair value on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The 2025 TSR Performance Units are cash-settled and are accounted for as liability classified awards and remeasured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model at each reporting period. The 2025 FCF Performance Units are subject to an operational performance condition, with fair value determined based on the average closing price of our common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is subsequently adjusted to reflect the fair value of units expected to vest, based on the likelihood of meeting the performance condition. If the performance condition is not met, any previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed.
Performance Units activity from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025 follows:

| Performance Units Share-Settled (at target) |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |  | Performance Units Cash-Settled (at target) |  |

Non-vested outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 2,214,700 |  | $ | 10.49 |  |  | 743,800 |  |

(1)Share-settled Performance Units granted in 2022 reached the end of their performance period during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and no shares were issued to settle such Performance Units.
As of June 30, 2025, we had unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested Performance Units totaling $21.2 million. The weighted-average remaining vesting period for these unvested Performance Units was 2.05 years as of June 30, 2025.

12. Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, the impact of U.S. state and local taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other differences related to the recognition of income and expense between GAAP and tax accounting.
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was (2.5)%, compared with 60.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The difference in effective income tax rates between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets between periods, as well as the impact of permanent differences and book impairments against earnings between periods.
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was (5.8)%, compared with 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The difference in effective income tax rates between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets between periods, as well as the impact of permanent differences against earnings between periods.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and when necessary, valuation allowances are provided. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets quarterly and consider carryback availability, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
We continue to monitor income tax developments in the United States and other countries where we have legal entities. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. This legislation includes several changes to existing income tax provisions with certain changes effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
13. Earnings Per Share
We provide a dual presentation of our net income (loss) per common share in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations: basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted net income (loss) per common share (“Diluted EPS”).
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is determined by dividing the earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares, including stock options and non-vested performance units and non-vested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of stock options, non-vested performance units and non-vested restricted stock units is determined using the treasury stock method.

14. Business Segments
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer, who has ultimate responsibility for enterprise decisions. Our business is organized based on the services and products we provide in three segments: (i) drilling services, (ii) completion services, and (iii) drilling products. The CODM evaluates segment performance based primarily on segment operating income (loss).
Drilling Services — represents our contract drilling, directional drilling, oilfield technology and electrical controls and automation businesses.
Completion Services — represents the combination of our well completion business, which includes hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumping, completion support, cementing and our legacy pressure pumping business.
Drilling Products — represents our manufacturing and distribution of drill bits business.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management Overview — We are a Houston, Texas-based leading provider of drilling and completion services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States and other select countries, including contract drilling services, integrated well completion services and directional drilling services in the United States, and specialized drill bit solutions in the United States, Middle East and many other regions around the world. We operate under three reportable business segments: (i) drilling services, (ii) completion services, and (iii) drilling products.
Drilling Services
Our contract drilling business operates in the continental United States and internationally in Colombia and Ecuador and, from time to time, we pursue contract drilling opportunities in other select markets. We also provide a comprehensive suite of directional drilling services in most major producing onshore oil and natural gas basins in the United States, and we provide services that improve the statistical accuracy of wellbore placement for directional and horizontal wells. We also service and re-certify equipment for drilling contractors, and we provide electrical controls and automation to the energy, marine and mining industries, in North America and other select markets.
As of June 30, 2025, we had 152 marketed land-based drilling rigs based in the following regions:

Region |  | Number of Rigs
West Texas |  | 70
Appalachia |  | 21
Oklahoma |  | 16
Rockies |  | 17
South Texas |  | 11
East Texas |  | 9
Colombia |  | 7
Ecuador |  | 1
Total |  | 152

We have addressed our customers’ needs for drilling horizontal wells in shale and other unconventional resource plays by improving the capabilities of our drilling fleet. The U.S. land rig industry has in recent years referred to certain high specification rigs as “super-spec” rigs, which we consider to be at least a 1,500 horsepower, AC-powered rig that has at least a 750,000-pound hookload, a 7,500-psi circulating system, and is pad-capable. Due to evolving customer preferences, we refer to certain premium rigs as “Tier-1, super spec” rigs, which we consider as being a super-spec rig that also has a third mud pump and raised drawworks that allows for more clearance underneath the rig floor. As of June 30, 2025, our rig fleet included 136 Tier-1, super-spec rigs.
Completion Services
Our well completion services business consists of services for hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pumping, completion support, and cementing. It also includes our power solutions natural gas fueling business and our proppant last mile logistics and storage business. Our completion services business operates in several of the most active basins in the continental United States including the Permian, the Marcellus Shale/Utica, the Eagle Ford, Mid-Continental, Haynesville, and the Bakken/Rockies.
To address evolving customer preferences for emissions-reducing equipment, we have invested in natural gas-powered equipment, including electric, direct drive, and dual fuel pumps, to replace legacy diesel completion services equipment.
Drilling Products
We serve the energy and mining markets by manufacturing and distributing drill bits throughout North America and internationally in over 30 countries. Our drilling equipment is used in oil and natural gas exploration and production and in mining operations. We have manufacturing and repair facilities located in Fort Worth, Texas, Leduc, Alberta and Saudi Arabia and repair facilities located in Argentina, Colombia and Oman.
Recent Developments in Market Conditions and Outlook — Commodity prices have historically been volatile but were relatively range-bound from the end of 2022 through the first quarter of 2025. The current demand for equipment and services remains impacted by macro conditions, including commodity prices, geopolitical environment, changes to international tariffs and
27

trade policies, inflationary pressures, economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere, as well as customer consolidation and focus by exploration and production companies and service companies on capital returns. During the second quarter of 2025, global economic conditions deteriorated, in part, because of recently enacted and proposed trade policies and tariffs by the United States and other governments, as well as uncertainty regarding potential future changes to global trade policies and tariffs. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, OPEC+ countries began phasing out voluntary crude oil production cuts, leading to an increase in global supply. These developments, combined with rising geopolitical tensions—particularly in the Middle East—have heightened uncertainty in global energy markets, which has contributed to a decline in our share price, lowered average crude oil futures prices and increased uncertainty regarding the future economic environment in which we operate. While the full effects are yet to be determined, and commodity prices have modesty recovered from the lows in the second quarter, prolonged trade tensions and sustained lower crude oil futures prices could adversely affect our future outlook on activity and profitability. Oil prices averaged $64.57 per barrel in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $71.78 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025, and closed at $68.39 per barrel on July 21, 2025. Natural gas prices (based on the Henry Hub Spot Market Price) averaged $3.19 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to an average of $4.14 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2025, and closed at $3.50 per MMBtu on July 21, 2025.
Our average active rig count in the United States for the second quarter of 2025 was 104 rigs. This was a decrease from our average active rig count for the first quarter of 2025 of 106. Term contracts help support our operating rig count. Based on contracts in place in the United States as of July 24, 2025, we expect an average of 48 rigs operating under term contracts during the third quarter of 2025 and an average of 27 rigs operating under term contracts during the four quarters ending June 30, 2026.
We maintain a backlog of commitments for contract drilling services under term contracts, which we define as contracts with a duration of six months or more. Our contract drilling backlog in the United States as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $312 million. Approximately 9% of our total contract drilling backlog in the United States at June 30, 2025 is reasonably expected to remain at June 30, 2026. See Note 2 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on backlog.
In our Drilling Services segment for the third quarter of 2025, we expect our average rig count will be in the mid-90s, with the sequential change driven by moderating activity in oil basins compared to the second quarter and steady activity in natural gas basins.
In our Completion Services segment for the third quarter of 2025, we expect activity to be steady compared to the second quarter. We expect third quarter Completion Services adjusted gross profit to remain steady with the second quarter.
In our Drilling Products segment for the third quarter of 2025, we expect adjusted gross profit will improve slightly, sequentially. We expect that the Canadian market should resume normal activity following the second quarter seasonal spring breakup, and we expect slight gains in our International markets, partially offset by lower industry drilling activity in the United States.
Impact on our Business from Oil and Natural Gas Prices and Other Factors — Our revenues, profitability and cash flows are highly dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas, expectations about future prices, and upon our customers’ ability to access, and willingness to deploy, capital to fund their operating and capital expenditures. During periods of improved oil and natural gas prices, the capital spending budgets of oil and natural gas operators tend to expand, which generally results in increased demand for our services. Conversely, in periods when oil and natural gas prices are relatively low or when our customers have a reduced ability to access, or willingness to deploy, capital, the demand for our services generally weakens, and we experience downward pressure on pricing for our services. Even during periods of historically moderate or high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and natural gas may cancel or curtail programs or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons, including the depletion of capital expenditure budgets and/or meeting annual drilling and completion targets, which could reduce demand for our services. We may also be impacted by delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies.
The oil and natural gas services industry is cyclical and at times experiences downturns in demand. During these periods, there has been substantially more oil and natural gas service equipment available than necessary to meet demand. As a result, oil and natural gas service contractors have had difficulty sustaining profit margins and, at times, have incurred losses during the downturn periods. We cannot predict either the future level of demand for our oil and natural gas services or future conditions in the oil and natural gas service businesses.
In addition to the dependence on oil and natural gas prices and demand for our services, we are highly impacted by operational risks, competition, labor issues, weather, the availability, from time to time, of products used in our businesses, supplier delays and various other factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Please see Item 1A of our Annual Report.

(1)Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.
(2)Operational data relates to our contract drilling business. A rig is considered to be operating if it is earning revenue pursuant to a contract on a given day.
Generally, the revenues in our drilling services segment are most impacted by two primary factors: our contract drilling day rates and our average number of rigs operating.
Total revenues and average revenue per operating day decreased primarily due to a decrease in operating days in our contract drilling business within the United States and lower pricing. The increase in direct operating costs and average direct operating costs per operating day was primarily impacted by the fixed cost leverage for U.S. drilling rigs during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased primarily due to a $27.8 million impairment charge to Latin American drilling equipment during the second quarter of 2025. See Note 5 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other operating income, net, increased due to insurance proceeds received during the second quarter of 2025.
Capital expenditures decreased primarily due to the timing of order placement and spending on committed deliveries that more heavily impacted the first quarter of 2025.

(1)Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.
Completion services revenues and direct operating costs declined primarily due to a decline in activity in our fracturing and power solutions operations. Revenues from these operations collectively decreased $35 million, and direct operating costs for these operations collectively decreased by $31 million, or 5% and 6%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2025.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts.

Revenues and direct operating costs increased primarily due to additional activity.
Direct operating costs and depreciation, amortization and impairment expense were approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million higher than they would have otherwise been for the three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as a result of the step up to fair value of our drill bits in accordance with purchase accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, direct operating costs and depreciation, amortization and impairment expense were approximately $0.6 million and $2.3 million higher than they would have otherwise been, respectively, as a result of the step up to fair value of our drill bits.

The changes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 can be primarily attributed to the divestiture of our oilfield rentals business during the second quarter of 2025. In order to provide a more meaningful basis for comparison, the discussion below is focused on changes between comparable periods excluding the effects of the divestiture.
Revenues and direct operating costs, excluding the effects of our oilfield rentals business divestiture, were relatively flat between sequential quarters.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, excluding the effects of our oilfield rentals business divestiture, was relatively flat between sequential quarters.

(1)Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.
(2)Operational data relates to our contract drilling business. A rig is considered to be operating if it is earning revenue pursuant to a contract on a given day.
Total revenues and direct operating costs decreased primarily due to a decrease in operating days in our contract drilling business within the United States. However, average revenue per operating day decreased disproportionately as compared to the decrease in average direct operating costs per operating day. The decline in operating days impacted the fixed cost leverage for U.S. drilling rigs during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The decrease in operating days for our U.S. contract drilling business reflects the industry-wide activity declines during the first six months of 2025.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased primarily due to a $27.8 million impairment charge to Latin American drilling equipment during the second quarter of 2025. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation, amortization and impairment expense which was attributable to a lower depreciable asset base in 2025, in part, due to the abandonment of 42 legacy non-super-spec rigs and equipment in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 5 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 6 in Notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report for additional information.
Other operating income, net, increased due to insurance proceeds received during the second quarter of 2025.
Capital expenditures decreased primarily due to the timing of order placement as well as lower maintenance capital expenditures due to fewer operating days.

Completion services revenues and direct operating costs decreased primarily due to lower activity in our fracturing operations. Revenues and direct operating costs from our fracturing operations decreased by approximately $250 million and $123 million, or 17% and 11%, respectively.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense decreased primarily due to fewer capital additions placed in service relative to asset retirements between the periods.
Other operating income, net in 2024 was due to gain on legal settlements.
We reduced capital expenditures in response to changing macroeconomic conditions between the periods.

Revenues and direct operating costs were relatively flat between the periods.
Direct operating costs and depreciation, amortization and impairment expense were approximately $1.1 million and $3.8 million higher than they would have otherwise been for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as a result of the step up to fair value of our drill bits in accordance with purchase accounting. Direct operating costs and depreciation, amortization and impairment expense were approximately $3.8 million and $9.1 million higher than they would have otherwise been for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as a result of the step up to fair value of our drill bits in accordance with purchase accounting.

(2)Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense). See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit by segment.
The changes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 can be primarily attributed to the divestiture of our oilfield rentals business during the second quarter of 2025. In order to provide a more meaningful basis for comparison, the discussion below is focused on changes between comparable periods excluding the effects of the divestiture.
Excluding the effects of our oilfield rentals business divestiture, the decrease in revenue and direct operating costs was driven by lower realized crude oil prices. Oil prices averaged $68.12 per barrel in the first half of 2025 as compared to $79.69 per barrel in the first half of 2024.
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, excluding the effects of our oilfield rentals business divestiture, was relatively flat between the periods.

Merger and integration expense decreased due to the timing of the NexTier merger and the Ulterra acquisition, which both closed in the third quarter of 2023.
Interest expense was relatively flat between the periods.
The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to the expansion of our Corporate office.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate fluctuates from the U.S. statutory tax rate based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in jurisdictions with varying statutory tax rates, the impact of U.S. state and local taxes, the realizability of deferred tax assets and other differences related to the recognition of income and expense between GAAP and tax accounting.
34

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was (2.5)%, compared with 51.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The difference in effective income tax rates between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of permanent differences and book impairments against earnings between periods.
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was (5.8)%, compared with 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The difference in effective income tax rates between the periods was primarily attributable to the impact of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets between periods, as well as the impact of permanent differences against earnings between periods.
We continue to monitor income tax developments in the United States and other countries where we have legal entities. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in the United States. This legislation includes several changes to existing income tax provisions with certain changes effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Credit Agreement and cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $525 million in working capital, including $184 million of cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $498 million available under our Credit Agreement.
On January 31, 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement amended and restated our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 27, 2018. The commitments under the Credit Agreement are $500 million, and the loans and commitments under the Credit Agreement mature on January 31, 2030.
The Credit Agreement provides for a committed senior unsecured credit facility that permits aggregate revolving credit borrowings of up to $500 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100 million and a swing line sub-facility that, at any time outstanding, is limited to the lesser of $50 million and the amount of the swing line provider’s unused commitment. Subject to customary conditions, we may request that the lenders’ aggregate commitments be increased by up to $200 million, not to exceed total commitments of $700 million.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest by reference, at our election, to the SOFR rate (plus a 0.10% per annum adjustment) or base rate, in each case subject to a 0% floor. The applicable margin on SOFR rate loans varies from 1.25% to 2.25% and the applicable margin on base rate loans varies from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case determined based on our credit rating. As of June 30, 2025, the applicable margin on SOFR rate loans was 1.75% and the applicable margin on base rate loans was 0.75%. A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to the applicable margin for SOFR rate loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee rate payable to the lenders varies from 0.15% to 0.35% based on our credit rating.
None of our subsidiaries are currently required to be a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. However, if any subsidiary guarantees or incurs debt, which does not qualify for certain limited exceptions and is otherwise, in the aggregate with all other similar debt, in excess of Priority Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement), such subsidiary is required to become a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default and associated remedies that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including certain restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our subsidiaries to grant liens and on the ability of each of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur debt. If our credit rating is below investment grade at both Moody’s and S&P, we will become subject to a restricted payment covenant, which would generally require us to have a Pro Forma Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 immediately before and immediately after making any restricted payment. Restricted payments include, among other things, dividend payments, repurchases of our common stock, distributions to holders of our common stock or any other payment or other distribution to third parties on account of our or our subsidiaries’ equity interests. Our credit rating is currently investment grade at both credit rating agencies. The Credit Agreement also requires that our total debt to capitalization ratio, expressed as a percentage, not exceed 50% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement generally defines the total debt to capitalization ratio as the ratio of (a) total borrowed money indebtedness to (b) the sum of such indebtedness plus consolidated net worth, with consolidated net worth determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2025.

On March 16, 2015, we entered into a Reimbursement Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”), pursuant to which we may from time to time request that Scotiabank issue an unspecified amount of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, we had $38.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Reimbursement Agreement.
Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, we will reimburse Scotiabank on demand for any amounts that Scotiabank has disbursed under any of our letters of credit issued thereunder. Fees, charges and other reasonable expenses for the issuance of letters of credit are payable by us at the time of issuance at such rates and amounts as are in accordance with Scotiabank’s prevailing practice. We are obligated to pay to Scotiabank interest on all amounts not paid by us on the date of demand or when otherwise due at the Prime rate plus 2.00% per annum, calculated daily and payable monthly, in arrears, on the basis of a calendar year for the actual number of days elapsed, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate as on the reimbursement amounts. A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to 1.50% times the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
We have also agreed that if obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by liens on any of our or our subsidiaries’ property, then our reimbursement obligations and (to the extent similar obligations would be secured under the Credit Agreement) other obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and any letters of credit will be equally and ratably secured by all property subject to such liens securing the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to a Continuing Guaranty dated as of March 16, 2015, our payment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed as to payment and not as to collection by our subsidiaries that from time to time guarantee payment under the Credit Agreement. None of our subsidiaries are currently required to guarantee payment under the Credit Agreement.
We had $42.1 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2025, which was comprised of $38.1 million outstanding under the Reimbursement Agreement, $2.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and $2.0 million outstanding with financial institutions providing for short-term borrowing capacity, overdraft protection and bonding requirements. We maintain these letters of credit primarily for the benefit of various insurance companies as collateral for retrospective premiums and retained losses which could become payable under terms of the underlying insurance contracts and compliance with contractual obligations. These letters of credit expire annually at various times during the year and are typically renewed. As of June 30, 2025, no amounts had been drawn under the letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025, we had $37.0 million in surety bond exposure issued as financial assurance on an insurance agreement.
Our outstanding long-term debt at June 30, 2025 was $1.2 billion and consisted of $483 million of our 2028 Notes, $345 million of our 2029 Notes and $400 million of our 2033 Notes. We were in compliance with all covenants under the associated agreements and indentures at June 30, 2025.
For a full description of the Credit Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreement, the 2028 Notes, the 2029 Notes, and the 2033 Notes, see Note 8 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash Requirements
We believe our current liquidity, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, should provide us with sufficient ability to fund our current plans to maintain and make improvements to our existing equipment, service our debt, pay cash dividends and repurchase our common stock and senior notes for at least the next 12 months.
If we pursue other opportunities that require capital, we believe we would be able to satisfy these needs through a combination of working capital, cash flows from operating activities, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility or additional debt or equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
The majority of our capital expenditures are expected to be used for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business. A portion of our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels.
We anticipate $29.9 million of expenditures for the remainder of 2025 related to various contractual obligations such as certain commitments to purchase proppants and lease liabilities.
As of June 30, 2025, we had working capital of $525 million, including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $186 million, compared to working capital of $453 million, including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $241 million, at December 31, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our sources of cash flow included:
•$348 million from operating activities, and
•$28.3 million in proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment, including insurance recoveries.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our uses of cash flow included:
•$306 million to make capital expenditures for the betterment and refurbishment of drilling services and completion services equipment and, to a much lesser extent, equipment for our other businesses, to acquire and procure equipment to support our drilling services, completion services, drilling products, and other operations,
•$35.8 million for repurchases of our common stock,
•$61.6 million to pay dividends on our common stock,
•$6.4 million to repay the Equipment Loans;
•$4.4 million for payments related to finance leases, and
•$15.9 million for other investing and financing activities.
We paid cash dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as follows:

| Per Share |  | Total
|  |  | (in thousands)
Paid on March 17, 2025 | $ | 0.08 |  |  | $ | 30,877 |
Paid on June 16, 2025 | 0.08 |  |  | 30,742 |
| $ | 0.16 |  |  | $ | 61,619 |

On July 23, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend on our common stock in the amount of $0.08 per share to be paid on September 15, 2025 to holders of record as of September 2, 2025. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon business conditions, results of operations, financial condition, terms of our debt agreements and other factors. Our Board of Directors may, without advance notice, reduce or suspend our dividend for any reason, including to improve our financial flexibility and position our company for long-term success. There can be no assurance that we will pay a dividend in the future.
We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt for cash through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, redemptions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
In September 2013, our Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program. In February 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase of the authorization under the stock buyback program to allow for an aggregate of $1.0 billion of future share repurchases. All purchases executed to date have been through open market transactions. Purchases under the buyback program are made at management’s discretion, at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions and other factors. Purchases may be made at any time without prior notice. There is no expiration date associated with the buyback program. As of June 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization to purchase approximately $728 million of our outstanding common stock under the stock buyback program. Shares of stock purchased under the buyback program are held as treasury shares.
Treasury stock acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

pursuant to the terms of the Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and the NexTier Oilfield Solutions Inc. Equity and Incentive Award Plan, and not pursuant to the stock buyback program.
Commitments — As of June 30, 2025, we had commitments to purchase major equipment totaling approximately $94.8 million. Our completion services segment has entered into agreements to purchase minimum quantities of proppants from certain vendors. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining minimum obligation under these agreements was approximately $27.1 million, of which approximately $9.2 million, $13.1 million, and $4.8 million relate to the remainder of 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively.
See Note 9 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our current commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2025.
Operating lease liabilities totaled $44.7 million and finance lease liabilities totaled $21.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
Trading and Investing — We have not engaged in trading activities that include high-risk securities, such as derivatives and non-exchange traded contracts. We invest cash primarily in highly liquid, short-term investments such as overnight deposits and money market accounts.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense, impairment of goodwill, and merger and integration expense. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it provides to both management and investors additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and a comparison of the results of our operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss). Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures of other companies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss).

Adjusted Gross Profit
We define “Adjusted gross profit” as revenues less direct operating costs (excluding depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expense). Adjusted gross profit is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a useful indicator of our operating performance.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report.
Impairment of long-lived assets — We review our long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of certain assets may not be recovered over their estimated remaining useful lives (“triggering events”). In connection with this review, assets are
39

grouped at the lowest level at which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other asset groupings. We estimated future cash flows over the life of the respective assets or asset groupings in our assessment of its recoverability. These estimates of cash flows were based on historical trends in the industry as well as our expectations regarding the continuation of these trends in the future.
Negative market indicators such as lower industry-wide drilling rig and pressure pumping fleet count forecasts, increased volatility and margin compression for certain of our asset groups have led to our reduced outlook for activity. The reduction in activity forecasts combined with the recent decline in the market price of our common stock were considered a triggering event indicating certain of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets may be impaired. We deemed it necessary to perform recoverability tests on our hydraulic fracturing asset group within our completion services reporting unit and our Latin American contract drilling asset group during the second quarter of 2025. We estimated future cash flows over the expected remaining life of the primary asset for each asset group. On an undiscounted basis, the expected cash flows exceeded the carrying value of our hydraulic fracturing asset group within our completion services reporting unit, indicating that no impairment was required.
The recoverability test for our Latin American contract drilling asset group indicated that estimated undiscounted cash flows did not exceed its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an impairment test and estimated the fair value of the asset group using the income approach. Under this approach, we used a discounted cash flow model, which utilized present values of cash flows to estimate fair value. Forecasted cash flows reflected known market conditions in the second quarter of 2025 and management’s anticipated business outlook for the asset group. Future cash flows were projected based on estimates of revenue, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. Future cash flows were then discounted using a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Based on the results of the analysis performed, we recorded a $27.8 million impairment charge to Latin American drilling equipment during the three months ended June 30, 2025 in our drilling services segment.
While the full effects of recent market developments are yet to be determined, prolonged trade tensions and sustained lower crude oil futures prices could adversely affect our future outlook on activity and profitability. If these conditions persist or deteriorate further, or if other unforeseen macroeconomic conditions emerge, they could negatively impact the expected cash flows used in our recoverability tests for our asset groups. Such changes could result in impairment charges in the future, which could be material to our results of operations and financial statements as a whole.
Goodwill — We assess goodwill at least annually on July 31, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below our operating segments. We determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value after considering qualitative, market and other factors. Any necessary goodwill impairment is determined using a quantitative impairment test. If the resulting fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount of the shortfall. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs are based on forecasts and significant judgment.
We determined our drilling products operating segment consists of a single reporting unit to which the goodwill from our 2023 acquisition of Ulterra Drilling Technologies, L.P. was allocated. We determined our completion services operating segment consisted of two reporting units; completion services, which was primarily comprised of our hydraulic fracturing operations and other integrated service offerings, and cementing services.
During the second quarter of 2025, we viewed the reduction in activity forecasts combined with the decline in the market price of our common stock as a triggering event that warranted a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment.
We estimated the fair value of the drilling products and cementing services reporting units using the income approach. Under this approach, we used a discounted cash flow model, which utilized present values of cash flows to estimate fair value. Forecasted cash flows reflected known market conditions in the second quarter of 2025 and the expected market outlook. Future cash flows were projected based on estimates of revenue growth rates, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. The terminal period used within the discounted cash flow model consisted of a growth estimate. Future cash flows were then discounted using a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgment must be applied to determine whether credit market changes are a short-term or long-term trend.
The forecast for the cementing services reporting unit assumed lower activity in 2026 compared to estimated average activity levels for full year 2025 and moderate growth estimates thereafter. Those estimates were based on future drilling rig count forecasts during the second quarter of 2025 and estimated market share. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of
40

the cementing services reporting unit exceeded its carrying value with a substantial cushion. Accordingly, no impairment was recorded.
The forecast for the drilling products reporting unit assumed lower activity during 2025 relative to 2024, with growth estimates thereafter. The increases in estimated activity assumed growth in both domestic and international markets. Those growth estimates were based on drilling rig count forecasts and estimated market share. Geopolitical instability in regions in which we expect to maintain and grow market share, an unfavorable legal proceeding outcome, a global decrease in the demand of drilling products or other unforeseen macroeconomic considerations could negatively impact the key assumptions used in our goodwill assessment for our drilling products reporting unit. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, the fair value of the drilling products reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 8%. Accordingly, no impairment was recorded.
Assuming all changes are isolated, a decrease of 100 bps in our long-term revenue growth rate for our drilling products reporting unit would reduce our estimated fair value by approximately 7%, while a 100 bps increase to our discount rate would reduce our estimated fair value by approximately 10%.
A decrease in fair value resulting from unfavorable changes to these assumptions, or others, could result in goodwill impairment in future periods that could be material to our results of operations and financial statements as a whole.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1 of Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the impact of recently issued accounting standards.
Volatility of Oil and Natural Gas Prices and its Impact on Operations and Financial Condition
Our revenues, profitability and cash flows are highly dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas and expectations about future prices, and upon our customers’ ability to access, and willingness to deploy, capital to fund their operating and capital expenditures. Commodity prices have historically been volatile, but were relatively range-bound from the end of 2022 through the first quarter of 2025. The current demand for equipment and services remains impacted by macro conditions, including commodity prices, geopolitical environment, changes to international tariffs and trade policies, inflationary pressures, economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere, as well as customer consolidation and focus by exploration and production companies and service companies on capital returns. During the second quarter of 2025, global economic conditions deteriorated, in part, because of recently enacted and proposed trade policies and tariffs by the United States and other governments, as well as uncertainty regarding potential future changes to global trade policies and tariffs. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, OPEC+ countries began phasing out voluntary crude oil production cuts, leading to an increase in global supply. These developments, combined with rising geopolitical tensions—particularly in the Middle East—have heightened uncertainty in global energy markets, which has contributed to a decline in our share price, lowered average crude oil futures prices and increased uncertainty regarding the future economic environment in which we operate. While the full effects are yet to be determined, and commodity prices have modestly recovered from the lows in the second quarter, prolonged trade tensions and sustained lower crude oil futures prices could adversely affect our future outlook on activity and profitability. Oil prices averaged $64.57 per barrel in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $71.78 per barrel in the first quarter of 2025, and closed at $68.39 per barrel on July 21, 2025. Natural gas prices (based on the Henry Hub Spot Market Price) averaged $3.19 per MMBtu in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to an average of $4.14 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2025, and closed at $3.50 per MMBtu on July 21, 2025.
In light of these and other factors, we expect oil and natural gas prices to continue to be unpredictable and to affect our financial condition, operations and ability to access sources of capital. Higher oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily result in increased activity because demand for our services is generally driven by our customers’ expectations of future oil and natural gas prices, as well as our customers’ ability to access, and willingness to deploy, capital to fund their operating and capital expenditures. A decline in demand for oil and natural gas, prolonged low oil or natural gas prices, expectations of decreases in oil and natural gas prices or a reduction in the ability of our customers to access capital would likely result in reduced capital expenditures by our customers and decreased demand for our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Even during periods of historically moderate or high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and natural gas may cancel or curtail programs or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons, including the depletion of capital expenditure budgets and/or meeting annual drilling and completion targets, which could reduce demand for our services.
41

Impact of Inflation and Trade Policies
Moderate inflationary pressures and uncertainty regarding recently enacted and proposed changes to trade policies and tariffs by the United States and other governments, as well as uncertainty regarding potential future changes to global trade policies and tariffs, have contributed, or may contribute, to increases in the cost of certain goods, services, and labor. While the full effects are yet to be determined, prolonged trade tensions could, among other things, increase the costs of certain products used in our businesses, such as drill pipe, parts, and electronics. We continue to actively monitor market trends primarily related to sourcing of labor, supplies and equipment.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We may be exposed to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk.
As of June 30, 2025, we would have had exposure to interest rate market risk associated with any outstanding borrowings and letters of credit that we had under the Credit Agreement and amounts owed under the Reimbursement Agreement.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest by reference, at our election, to the SOFR rate (plus a 0.10% per annum adjustment) or base rate, in each case subject to a 0% floor. The applicable margin on SOFR rate loans varies from 1.25% to 2.25% and the applicable margin on base rate loans varies from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case determined based on our credit rating. As of June 30, 2025, the applicable margin on SOFR rate loans was 1.75% and the applicable margin on base rate loans was 0.75% A letter of credit fee is payable by us equal to the applicable margin for SOFR rate loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee rate payable to the lenders varies from 0.15% to 0.35% based on our credit rating. As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.0 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement and, as a result, had available borrowing capacity of approximately $498 million at that date.
Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, we will reimburse Scotiabank on demand for any amounts that Scotiabank has disbursed under any of our letters of credit issued thereunder. We are obligated to pay Scotiabank interest on all amounts not paid by us on the date of demand or when otherwise due at the Prime rate plus 2.00% per annum.
Our functional currency is primarily the U.S. dollar. Approximately 98% of our revenue during the first half of 2025 was denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, we do not believe we are significantly exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. However, a portion of our revenues in foreign countries are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our earnings to the extent that costs associated with those U.S. dollar revenues are denominated in the local currency. Similarly, a portion of our revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, but have associated U.S. dollar costs, which also give rise to foreign currency exchange rate exposure.
The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items.
43

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with the SEC under 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 (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting —There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Certain subsidiaries we acquired in the Ulterra acquisition are defendants in a claim brought by a subsidiary of NOV Inc. alleging breach of a license agreement related to certain patents. Such subsidiaries have asserted defenses to the claim and are defending vigorously against this claim.
On February 6, 2023, Grant Prideco, Inc., ReedHycalog UK, Ltd. ReedHycalog, LP, National Oilwell Varco, LP (“NOV”) sued Ulterra Drilling Technologies, LP (“Ulterra”) and several other companies in Texas state court. NOV seeks a declaration that United States Patent No. 8,721,752 (the “’752 Patent”) is a “Licensed RH Patent” per the terms of a license agreement between Ulterra and NOV. NOV also alleges a breach of contract based on the license agreement between NOV and Ulterra and seeks allegedly owed royalties since October 22, 2021. NOV also seeks attorney’s fees.
On February 27, 2023, Ulterra filed a plea to the jurisdiction, and subject thereto, an answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims. Ulterra’s counterclaims include: (i) declaratory judgments of non-infringement of U.S. Pat. No. 7,568,534 and the ’752 patent; (ii) a declaratory judgment of no royalties after Oct. 22, 2021; (iii) a declaratory judgment that certain other identified patents are expired and therefore not infringed after Oct. 22, 2021; and (iv) a declaratory judgment of no breach of contract. On the same day, Ulterra filed a notice of removal in federal court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (SDTX 4:23-cv-00730), as well as a corresponding notice in Texas state court. NOV moved to dismiss and remand the case back to state court. On February 17, 2024, the Court denied NOV’s motion. On March 19, 2024, Ulterra moved for judgment on the pleadings regarding its declaratory judgment that certain other identified patents are expired and therefore not infringed after October 22, 2021. On February 13, 2025, the motion was granted in part and denied in part.
Discovery is closed and dispositive motions are fully briefed. Trial is currently scheduled for October 27, 2025. An unfavorable judgment or resolution of this claim not covered by indemnity could have a material impact on our financial results.
Additionally, we are party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
