2 Forward Looking Statements 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: • the Covid - 19 pandemic and its impact on oil and gas markets and prices; • 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; • competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; • our ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness; • the 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; • our access to and the cost of capital, including the impact of a further downgrade in our credit rating, covenant restrictions, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility, and future issuances of debt or equity securities; • our 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; • changes in tax laws and the possibility of changes in 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; • the 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 .

12 Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations Before Income Tax Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and a mor tization, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), impairments and other charges and other, net. Adjusted EBITDA is a non - GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes certa in cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several c rit eria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing pro fitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in thi s i ndustry may compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of this non - GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is provided below. Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Adjusted EBITDA $107,730 Depreciation and Amortization 177,276 Adjusted Operating Income (loss) (69,546) Investment Income (loss) 1,263 Interest Expense (42,975) Other, net (4,863) Impairments and other charges (2,483) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes ($118,604) (In Thousands)

13 Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities. Free cash flow i s a n indicator of our ability to generate cash flow after required spending to maintain or expand our asset base. Management believes that this non - GAAP measure is useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash flows of other companies. This non - GAAP measure has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or a s a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of the consolidated Company based on several criteria, in clu ding free cash flow, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company's ongoing profitability and performance. A reconciliation of thi s m easure to net cash provided by operating activities is provided below. March 31, 2021 Net cash provided by operating activities $79,490 Less: Net Cash used for investing activities (19,119) Free cash flow $60,371 (In Thousands)
