2 We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets , demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly, and current reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements . Such statements, including statements in this document that relate to matters that are not historical facts, are “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27 A of the U . S . Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21 E of the U . S . Securities Exchange Act of 1934 . These “forward - looking statements” are based on our analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans . They are inherently uncertain, and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations . Factors to consider when evaluating these forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to : • fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas ; • fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities ; • fluctuations in the demand for our services ; • c ompetitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries ; • o ur ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness ; • t he existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries ; • the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers ; • the impact of long - term indebtedness and other financial commitments on our financial and operating flexibility ; • o ur access to and the cost of capital , including the impact of a downgrade in our credit rating, covenants restrictions, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facilities, and future issuances of debt or equity securities ; • o ur dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations ; • our ability to retain skilled employees ; • our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits, of strategic transactions ; • the recent changes in U . S . tax laws and the possibility of changes in other tax laws and other laws and regulation ; • the possibility of political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business ; • t he possibility of changes to U . S . trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes or sanctions ; and • general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets . Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities . Therefore, sustained lower oil or natural gas prices that have a material impact on exploration, development or production activities could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows . The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all - inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider . For a discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including those contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10 - K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, which are available at the SEC's website at www . sec . gov . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation refers to certain “non - GAAP” financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income ( loss), net debt and free cash flow after dividends . The components of these non - GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) . A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, net debt to total debt, and free cash flow after dividends to net cash provided by operating activities, which are their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, is provided in the Appendix at the end of this presentation .

14 Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Income (Loss) from Cont. Operations Before Income Taxes Adjusted operating income (loss) represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, e arn ings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss ), impairments and other charges and other, net. Adjusted EBITDA is computed similarly, but also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) exclude ce rta in cash expenses that the Company is obligated to pay. Each of these non - GAAP measures has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation o r as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the con sol idated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these fin anc ial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors use these measures as some of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes which is the nearest compara ble GAAP financial measure, is provided in the table below.

15 Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow After Dividends to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Free cash flow after dividends represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities a nd cash paid for dividends. Free cash flow is an indicator of our ability to generate cash flow after required spending to maintain or expand our asset b ase and pay dividends. Management believes that this non - GAAP measure is useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash fl ows of other companies. This non - GAAP measure has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amount s reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of the consolidated Company based on several criteria, in clu ding free cash flow after dividends, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company's ongoing profitabilit y a nd performance .
