NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES REUNITED CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
National Energy Services Reunited Corp. (“NESR,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms), a British Virgin Islands corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, is one of the largest oilfield services providers in the Middle East North Africa (“MENA”) region.
Formed in January 2017, NESR started as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) designed to invest in the oilfield services space globally. NESR filed a registration statement for its initial public offering in May 2017. In November 2017, NESR announced the acquisition of two oilfield services companies in the MENA region: NPS Holdings Limited (“NPS”) and Gulf Energy S.A.O.C. (“GES” and, together with NPS, the “Subsidiaries,” or the “NPS/GES Business Combination”). The formation of NESR as an operating entity was completed on June 7, 2018, after the transactions were approved by the NESR shareholders. On June 1, 2020, NESR further expanded its footprint within the MENA region when its NPS subsidiary acquired Sahara Petroleum Services Company S.A.E. (“SAPESCO,” the “SAPESCO Business Combination”). On May 5, 2021, NESR again expanded its footprint within the MENA region when its NPS subsidiary acquired specific oilfield service lines of Action Energy Company W.L.L. (“Action,” the “Action Business Combination”).
NESR’s revenues are primarily derived by providing production services (“Production Services”) such as hydraulic fracturing, cementing, coiled tubing, filtration, completions, stimulation, pumping and nitrogen services. NESR also provides drilling and evaluation services (“Drilling and Evaluation Services”) such as drilling downhole tools, directional drilling, fishing tools, testing services, wireline, slickline, fluids and rig services. NESR has significant operations throughout the MENA region including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Algeria, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Libya and Kuwait.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in full-year financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair statement of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments consist only of those of a normal recurring nature.

Emerging growth company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make a comparison of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates made towards the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions of SAPESCO and Action, allowance for doubtful accounts, evaluation for impairment of property, plant and equipment, evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, estimated useful life of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, provision for inventories obsolescence, recoverability of unbilled revenue, unrecognized tax benefits, recoverability of deferred tax assets, contingencies, and actuarial assumptions in employee benefit plans.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from the estimates.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
The SEC permits qualifying Emerging Growth Companies (“EGC”) to defer the adoption of accounting standards updates until the time when a private company would adopt such standards. The Company continues to qualify as an EGC as of September 30, 2021.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases,” a new standard on accounting for leases. This update increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In June 2020, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2020-05, “Accounting Standards Update 2020-05—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities.” ASU No. 2020-05 deferred the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02, as amended, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and related interpretive amendments (ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” and ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements,” inclusive) and assessing the impact, if any, on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in Topic 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. The ASUs may be applied through December 31, 2022 and are applicable to our contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR. We are still evaluating whether to apply any of the expedients and/or exceptions included in these ASUs.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and, at this time, are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Correction of Warrant Accounting for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2020
On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the SEC released Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In response to the Statement, the Company determined that it had incorrectly accounted for its Private Warrants (Note 15) as equity, instead of liabilities. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company’s Private Warrants should have been both initially and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings from inception until their conversion to Public Warrants. Private Warrants were converted into Public Warrants periodically between December of 2018 and May of 2020. The Private Warrants were determined to be within the scope of liability accounting due to provisions that could result in different settlement amounts depending upon the characteristics of the holder of the Private Warrant. Management concluded the misstatement is immaterial to its previously issued condensed consolidated interim financial statements; however, the Company has corrected its presentation in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows for the three month and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2020 (in $US thousands, except per share amounts) as follows:

Correction of Warrant Accounting as of and for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the period From June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018
As described above, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined that it had incorrectly accounted for its Private Warrants (Note 15) as equity, instead of liabilities. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company’s Private Warrants should have been both initially and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings until their conversion to Public Warrants. Private Warrants were converted into Public Warrants periodically between December of 2018 and May of 2020. Management concluded the misstatement is immaterial to previously issued consolidated financial statements; however, the Company intends to correct its presentation prospectively in future filings. The impact of the misstatement on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the period from June 7, 2018 to December 31, 2018 is shown in the table below (in US$ thousands, except per share amounts):

Accounting treatment
The Action Business Combination was accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Pursuant to ASC 805, NESR has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. Action constitutes a business, with inputs, processes, and outputs. Accordingly, the acquisition of Action constitutes the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805, and due to the change in control of Action was accounted for using the acquisition method. NESR recorded the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Action.
The allocation of the consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is based on various estimates. As of September 30, 2021, management was (1) finalizing fair value of purchase consideration, (2) completing physical verifications and obsolescence assessments for Service inventories, and Property, plant and equipment, (3) evaluating the fair value of Service inventories, Property, plant and equipment, and Intangible assets, (4) completing valuation procedures for certain current assets and liabilities, (5) finalizing our completeness procedures for liabilities, (6) accounting for income taxes, and (7) concluding valuation procedures for Employee benefit liabilities. As such, to the extent of these estimates, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. Management expects that these values will be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2021. Any adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price allocation (in US$ thousands):

5. REVENUE
Disaggregation of revenue
There is significant homogeneity amongst the Company’s revenue-generating activities. In all service lines, the Company provides a “suite of services” to fulfill a customer purchase/service order, encompassing personnel, use of Company equipment, and supplies required to perform the services. 98% of the Company’s revenue is from the MENA region with the majority sourced from governmental customers, predominantly in Oman and Saudi Arabia. Information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments is focused on the timing of when the services are performed during a well’s lifecycle. Production Services are services performed during the production stage of a well’s lifecycle. Drilling and Evaluation Services are services performed during the pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle.
Based on these considerations, the following table provides disaggregated revenue data by the phase in a well’s lifecycle during which revenue has been recorded (in US$ thousands):

11. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
The Company measures and records liabilities for its Private Warrants (note 15) at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, includes:
| ● | Level 1 – Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities such as quoted prices in active markets; | |
| ● | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |
| ● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, which are therefore developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that reflect those that a market participant would use. |
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company’s other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable, contingent consideration assumed in the Action transaction (Note 4), loans and borrowings and capital lease obligations. The fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term borrowings also approximates the carrying amounts as these loans are carrying interest at the market rate.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Defined benefit plan
The Company provides a defined benefit plan of severance pay to eligible employees. The severance pay plan provides for a lump sum payment to employees on separation (retirement, resignation, death while in employment or on termination of employment) of an amount based upon the employees last drawn salary and length of service, subject to the completion of a minimum service period (1-2 years) and taking into account the provisions of local applicable law or as per employee contract. The Company records annual amounts relating to these long-term employee benefits based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn these benefits.
The Components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows (in US$ thousands):

In

The purpose of the LTIP is to enhance NESR’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to NESR by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. The Company intends to use time-based restricted stock unit awards to reward long-term performance of the executive officers. The Company believes that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of share-based awards will align the incentives of its executive officers with the interests of its shareholders and serve to motivate and retain the individual executive officers.

Legal proceedings
The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business and the outcomes of which are currently subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of these disputes. The Company is contesting these claims/disputes and the Company’s management currently believes that it is not required to recognize a provision because they are not probable or reasonably estimable and any impacts are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
15. EQUITY AND WARRANTS
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of ordinary shares, no par value, and preferred shares, no par value. The Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were and , respectively, ordinary shares outstanding.
Preferred Shares
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares divided into five classes with designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Public and Private Warrants
As
of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were
From their initial sale in May of 2017 until May of 2020, the Company also had Private Warrants outstanding. The Company’s Private Warrants were distinguished from the Company’s Public Warrants exclusively for their unique cashless exercise and limited redemption features. The Private Warrants retained these features for as long as they were held by our Sponsor, NESR Holdings, Ltd. Periodically between December of 2018 and May of 2020, NESR Holdings, Ltd. sold its Private Warrants, at which time the Company’s Private Warrants were converted into Public Warrants. As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no Private Warrants outstanding.
The Company has accounted for its Public and Private Warrants in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Public Warrants both at inception and in subsequent periods were classified as equity. Upon applying the correction of warrant accounting discussed in Note 3, Private Warrants were both initially and subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Private Warrants were determined to be within the scope of liability accounting due to provisions that could result in different settlement amounts depending upon the characteristics of the holder of the Private Warrant. As the Private Warrants were converted into Public Warrants, the corresponding liability was reclassified to Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under ASC 260, Earnings per Share, entities that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with common stock (i.e., participating securities) are required to apply the two-class method to compute earnings per share (“EPS”). The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. The dilutive effect of each participating security is calculated using the more dilutive of the following approaches:
| ● | The treasury stock method, reverse treasury stock method, if-converted method or contingently issuable share method, as applicable, provided a participating security or second class of common stock is a potential common share |
| ● | The two-class method, assuming a participating security or second class of common stock is not exercised or converted |

Overview
We are a regional provider of services to the oil and gas industry in the MENA and Asia Pacific regions. We currently operate in over 15 countries, with a strong presence in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Algeria, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Libya and Kuwait. Our company was founded with a vision of creating a regional provider for oilfield services that offers a full portfolio of solutions for our customers throughout the region with a strong focus on supporting the economies in which we operate. Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations are central to our company, and we believe that employing local staff and fully integrating with regional economies is a critical part of the social component of our ESG philosophy; in addition, we have found that promoting high local content in our operations optimizes our cost structure, enhancing our ability to generate free cash flow in various commodity price environments. With its vast reserves of oil and gas, the MENA region continues to dominate in its role as a vital source of global energy supply and stability. Our services include a broad suite of offerings that are essential in the drilling and completion of new oil and natural gas wells and in the remedial work on existing wells, both onshore and offshore, including completion services and equipment and drilling and evaluation services and equipment.
Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
Global E&P Trends and Oil Prices
We provide oilfield services to exploration and production companies with operations in the onshore and offshore oil and gas sectors in the MENA region, particularly the Middle East, and Asia Pacific regions. Demand for our services is mainly driven by our customers’ operations and is therefore linked to global commodity prices and expectations about future prices, rig activity and other factors.
In December 2019, the emergence of a new strain of the COVID-19 was reported in China that subsequently spread across China, the MENA region, and the rest of the world, including the United States. As a result of the outbreak, travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and similar measures taken by governments and companies have had a significant impact on global commerce and the price of oil. Since early March 2020, the global oil markets have experienced a precipitous decline in oil prices in response to concerns regarding the potential impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on worldwide oil demand. On April 20, 2020, oil prices for May deliveries of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil turned negative as demand for oil collapsed despite OPEC countries and Russia agreeing to cut production. Prices have subsequently rallied on the strength of production cuts from most oil producing countries.
To date, the outbreak of COVID-19 has not significantly impacted our business operations and financial position. Occasional invoice processing delays for both accounts receivable and accounts payable have been mitigated by improved working capital management. The extent to which our future financial results are affected by COVID-19 will depend on factors and consequences beyond our control, such as the length and scope of the pandemic, the development, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines and the efficacy thereof, further actions taken by governments and the private sector in response to the pandemic, and the rate and effectiveness of responses to combat COVID-19. The risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 could be further aggravated by the conditions of the global economy originating from COVID-19. In addition, our operational results may also be materially adversely affected in a manner that is either not currently known or that we do not currently consider to be a significant risk.
Cyclical Nature of Sector
The oilfield services sector is a highly cyclical industry. As a result, our operating results can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and period to period. However, due to the lower average cost per barrel in the Middle East and the need for infrastructure spending to sustain or increase current production levels of these oil rich countries, we believe that we are less affected by oil price volatility as compared to oilfield services companies that operate in other regions, as discussed below.
Drilling Environments
Based on energy industry data, the bulk of oil production comes from onshore activity while offshore oil production currently provides an estimated 30% of all global oil supply. We provide services to exploration and production (“E&P”) companies with both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Offshore drilling generally provides higher margins to service providers due to greater complexity, logistical challenges and the need for innovative solutions.
| 37 |
Geographic Concentration; Middle Eastern Operations
During 2020, 98% of our revenue came from the MENA region, particularly the Middle East. The Middle East has almost half of the world’s proven oil reserves and accounts for almost a third of oil production, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2020 (69th edition). Given the low break-even price of production, it is a key region for oilfield service companies. Most oil and gas fields in the Middle East are legacy fields on land or in shallow waters. These fields are largely engaged in development drilling activity, driven by the need for redevelopment, enhanced oil recovery via stimulation and the drilling of new production wells. Further, a number of gas fields scheduled to be developed in the near future will require oilfield services. As a result, our capital expenditure and related financing needs may increase materially in the future.
In addition, regional drilling operations may be impacted by local political and economic trends. Due to the concentration of our operations in the MENA region, and particularly the Middle East, our financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by geopolitical, political or economic instability affecting the countries in which we operate, including reduced production and drilling activities and disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak, extended periods of low oil prices and decreased oil demand, armed conflict, imposition of economic sanctions, changes in governments and currency devaluations, among others.
Many MENA countries rely on the energy sector as the major source of national revenues. Even at lower oil and gas prices, such oil and gas dependent economies have continued to maintain significant production and drilling activities. Further, given that Middle East markets have among the lowest break-even prices of production, they can continue to produce profitably at significantly lower commodity prices.
Key Components of Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
We earn revenue from our broad suite of oilfield services, including coiled tubing, hydraulic fracturing, cementing, stimulation and pumping, well testing services, drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling and workover rigs, nitrogen services, wireline logging services, turbines drilling, directional drilling, filtration services and slickline services, among others. Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with contractual terms, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services rendered or rentals provided. A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services or provide rentals and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company accounts for services rendered and rentals provided separately if they are distinct and the service or rental is separately identifiable from other items provided to a customer and if a customer can benefit from the services rendered or rentals provided on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A contract’s standalone selling prices are determined based on the prices that the Company charges for its services rendered and rentals provided. Most of the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time, which is generally represented by a period of 30 days or less. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type of products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when the payment is due is typically 30-60 days per contract.
Cost of services
Cost of services primarily includes staff costs for service personnel, purchase of non-capitalized material and equipment (such as tools and rental equipment), depreciation relating to capital assets used in our operations, vehicle and equipment rental and maintenance and repair.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense
SG&A expense primarily includes salary and employee benefits for non-production personnel (primarily management and administrative personnel), professional service fees, office facilities and equipment, office supplies and non-capitalized office equipment, and depreciation of office furniture and fixtures.
Amortization
Amortization expense primarily includes amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer contracts, trademarks and tradenames.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense primarily consists of interest on outstanding debt, net of interest income.
| 38 |
Gain/(loss) on warrant liability
Gain/(loss) on Private Warrant liability consists of adjustments recorded to present the Company’s Private Warrants at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other income (expense), net
Other operating income (expenses) primarily consists bank charges and foreign exchange gains and losses.
Key Performance Indicators
Historically, we have tracked two principal non-financial performance indicators that are important drivers of our results of operations: oil price and rig count. Oil price is important because the level of spending by E&P companies, our principal customers, is significantly influenced by anticipated future prices of oil, which is typically indicative of expected supply and demand. Changes in E&P spending, in turn, typically result in an increased or decreased demand for our services. Rig count, particularly in the regions in which we operate, is an indicator of the level of activity and spending by our E&P customers and has historically been an important indicator of our financial performance and activity levels. More recently, our customers in certain parts of the MENA region have increased their efforts to commercialize natural gas, particularly from unconventional formations. Over time, we anticipate that the market for natural gas will also become a key performance indicator for the Company.

Basis of Presentation of Financial Information
Segments
We operate our business and report our results of operations through two operating and reporting segments, Production Services and Drilling and Evaluation Services, which aggregate services performed during distinct stages of a typical life cycle of an oil well.
Production Services. Our Production Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offered and performed during the production stage of a well’s lifecycle. These services mainly include hydraulic fracturing, cementing, coiled tubing, filtration, completions, stimulation, pumping and nitrogen services. Our Production Services accounted for 63%, 68%, 64% and 68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Drilling and Evaluation Services. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services segment includes the results of operations from services that are generally offered and performed during pre-production stages of a well’s lifecycle and related mainly to the operation of oil rigs. The services mainly include well testing services, drilling services and rental, fishing and remediation, drilling and workover rigs, wireline logging services, turbines drilling, directional drilling, slickline services and drilling fluids, among others. Our Drilling and Evaluation Services accounted for 37%, 32%, 36% and 32% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
See Item 4B, “Business Overview” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Periodic Report, for a description of our reportable segments.
ESG IMPACT. In January 2021, we launched a new Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance IMPACT (“ESG IMPACT”) initiative to introduce innovative energy solutions and develop a portfolio of product lines and services aimed to mitigate climate change, enhance water management and conservation, and minimize environmental waste in the industry. The results of ESG IMPACT were not material to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations for the quarter or year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2021.
Results of Operations
The discussions below relating to significant line items from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are based on available information and represent our analysis of significant changes or events that impact the fluctuations in or comparability of reported amounts. Where appropriate, we have identified specific events and changes that affect comparability or trends. In addition, the discussions below for revenues are on an aggregate basis for each fiscal period, as the business drivers for all services are similar.

The table below presents our revenue by segment for the periods indicated:
| Quarter ended | Year-to-date period ended | |||||||||||||||
| September 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | September 30, 2021 | September 30, 2020 | |||||||||||||
| Reportable Segment: | ||||||||||||||||
| Production Services | $ | 138,060 | $ | 148,292 | $ | 427,497 | $ | 420,516 | ||||||||
| Drilling and Evaluation Services | 79,932 | 70,131 | 237,848 | 200,455 | ||||||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | 217,992 | $ | 218,423 | $ | 665,345 | $ | 620,971 | ||||||||
Production Services revenue was $138.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $148.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $427.5 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $420.5 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The change in revenue period-on-period was due to a decline in hydraulic fracturing offset in part by an increase in coil tubing, stimulation, nitrogen and cementing activities.
Drilling and Evaluation Services revenue was $79.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $70.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $237.8 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $200.5 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The change in revenue period-on-period was primarily due to increased activity in wireline, drilling services, and well testing.
Cost of services. Cost of services was $186.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $178.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $554.3 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $500.6 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue was 85%, 81%, 83% and 81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The change in cost of services as percentage of total revenue is mainly due to a change in revenue volume. Cost of services included depreciation expense of $29.3 million, $28.0 million, $83.1 million and $79.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense has increased due to additional capital expenditures throughout 2021.
Gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 15%, 19%, 17% and 19% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The change in trend is described under “Revenue” and “Cost of services.”
SG&A expense. SG&A expense, which represents costs associated with managing and supporting our operations, was $19.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $17.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $59.6 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $53.2 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. SG&A as a percentage of total revenue was 9%, 8%, 9% and 9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, and the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of total revenue period over prior period is primarily due to transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions, corporate projects such as a system implementation, and higher share-based compensation costs.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $13.2 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $11.9 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Amortization expense is driven mainly by acquired intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of GES and NPS in 2018 and the Action Business Combination in 2021.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $10.1 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12.5 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to quarter ended September 30, 2021, is mainly attributable to lower interest rates attributable to declines in benchmark interest rates.

Gain/(loss) on warrant liability. Gain/(loss) on warrant liability was $0 (zero) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $0 (zero) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $0 (zero) million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Differences between periods are attributable to the change in fair value of the Company’s Private Warrants.
Other (expense) income, net. Other (expense) income, net, was ($1.3) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.04 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and ($1.6) million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to ($0.4) million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Differences between periods were mainly attributed to fluctuations in bank charges between periods.
Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense (benefit) was $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $5.2 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $8.9 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The difference in rate quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year is predominantly due to the impact of discrete items and pre-tax income mix by country between periods.
Net income. Net income was $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $11.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $21.2 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $34.1 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020.

Production Services segment operating income was $10.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $21.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $42.8 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $63.0 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The change in segment operating income was driven by declines in revenue coupled with higher costs including procurement and labor.
Drilling and Evaluation segment operating income was $7.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and $25.4 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to $23.6 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Higher segment revenue period did not result in comparably higher operating income period-on-period due to higher labor and start-up costs during 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our objective in financing our business is to maintain sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources and financial flexibility to fund the requirements of our business. We had cash and cash equivalents of $101.0 million and $75.0 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Our outstanding borrowings were $427.0 and $398.5 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. Current available borrowing capacity totaled $19.7 million and $29.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and liquidity available through our credit facilities, including recently drawn facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to manage our global cash needs. See “Capital Resources” below.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $114.8 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $86.1 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. Cash flows from operating activities increased by $28.7 million in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to improved accounts receivable collections offset in part by an increase in supplier and vendor payments.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $88.9 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $85.8 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The difference between periods was primarily due to the change in timing of cash payments for capital expenditures and the Action Business Combination. Our principal recurring investing activity is the funding of capital expenditures to ensure that we have the appropriate levels and types of machinery and equipment in place to generate revenue from operations.
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $0.1 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $23.0 million for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2020. The change period-over-period was primarily due to higher debt borrowing in the 2021 period as compared to 2020.

Credit Facilities
As of and after September 30, 2021, we had the following principal credit facilities and instruments outstanding or available:
Secured Facilities Agreement
On May 5, 2019, the Company entered into a $450.0 million term loan, revolving credit, and working capital facilities agreement (the “Secured Facilities Agreement”) with Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (“APICORP”) – Bahrain Banking Branch, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited (“HSBC”), Mashreqbank PSC and Saudi British Bank acting as initial mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, Mashreqbank PSC acting as global agent, APICORP and Mashreqbank PSC acting as security agents, NPS Bahrain for Oil and Gas Wells Services WLL (“NPS Bahrain”) and its Kuwait branch, Gulf Energy SAOC and National Petroleum Technology Company as borrowers, and HSBC, Mashreqbank PSC, APICORP and Saudi British Bank, as the “Lenders.” On May 23, 2019 and June 20, 2019, the Company entered into $35.0 million and $40.0 million Incremental Facilities Agreements, respectively, increasing the size of the Secured Facilities Agreement to $485.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Secured Facilities Agreement was reduced to $501.3 million primarily as a result of the non-renewal of a project-specific letter of credit and the payment of the first two installments of the long-term loan. During the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2021, the Secured Facilities Agreement was decreased to $492.8 million primarily as a result of additional working capital capacity offset by installment payments on the term loan.
The $492.8 million Secured Facilities Agreement consists of a $258.8 million term loan due by May 6, 2025 (the “Term Loan” or “Secured Term Loan”), a $65.0 million revolving credit facility due by May 6, 2023 (“RCF” or “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $169.0 million working capital facility that renews annually by mutual agreement of the Lenders and the Company. Borrowings under the Term Loan and RCF incur interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the Secured Facilities Agreement. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, this resulted in an interest rate of 2.6% and 2.6%, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had drawn $258.8 million and $285.0 million, respectively, of the Term Loan and $65 million and $65 million, respectively, of the RCF.
The RCF was obtained for general corporate and working capital purposes including capital expenditure related requirements and acquisitions (including transaction related expenses). The RCF requires the payment of a commitment fee each quarter. The commitment fee is computed at the rate of 0.60% per annum based on the average daily amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the outstanding borrowings during each quarter. Under the terms of the RCF, the final settlement is due by May 6, 2023. The Company is required to repay the amount of any principal balance outstanding together with any unpaid accumulated interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.7% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio as defined in the Secured Facilities Agreement. The Company is permitted to make any prepayment under this RCF in multiples of $5.0 million during this 4-year period up to May 6, 2023. Any unutilized balances from the RCF can be drawn down again during the 4-year tenure at the same terms. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.0 (zero) million and $0.0 (zero) million, respectively, available to be drawn under the RCF.
The Secured Facilities Agreement also includes a working capital facility of $169.0 million and $151.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for issuance of letters of guarantee and letters of credit and refinancing letters of credit into short-term debt over a period of one year, which carries an interest rate equal to three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.25% per annum. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had utilized $160.2 million and $129.4 million, respectively, under this working capital facility and the balance of $8.8 million and $21.9 million, respectively, was available to the Company.
The Company has also retained legacy bilateral working capital facilities from HSBC totaling $24.7 million and $24.7 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, in Qatar ($10.3 million at September 30, 2021, $10.3 million at December 31, 2020), in the UAE ($14.3 million at September 30, 2021, and $14.3 million at December 31, 2020) and in Kuwait ($0.1 million at September 30, 2021 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2020). As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had utilized $18.1 million and $18.5 million, respectively, under this working capital facility and the balance of $6.7 million and $6.2 million, respectively, was available to the Company.
| 44 |
Utilization of the working capital facilities under both the legacy arrangement and Secured Facilities Agreement comprises letters of credit issued to vendors, guarantees issued to customers, vendors, and others, and short-term borrowings used to settle letters of credit. Once a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, the Company at its election can settle the letter of credit from available cash or leverage short-term borrowings available under both the legacy arrangement and Secured Facilities Agreement that will be repaid quarterly over a one-year period. Until a letter of credit is presented for payment by the vendor, it is disclosed as an off-balance sheet obligation. For additional discussion of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees, see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies.
The Secured Facilities Agreement includes covenants that specify maximum leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) up to 3.50, minimum debt service coverage ratio (Cash Flow / Debt Service) of at least 1.25, and interest coverage (EBITDA / Interest) of at least 4.00. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2021.
CIB Long-Term Debt
As part of the SAPESCO transaction, the Company assumed a $21.0 million debt obligation with Commercial International Bank (“CIB,” and collectively, “CIB Long-Term Debt”). Under the terms of its arrangement with CIB, the Company repaid $11.0 million of this balance during the third quarter of 2020 with the remaining $10.0 million due during the third quarter of 2021 but subsequently renegotiated to be repaid in the fourth quarter of 2021. Borrowings under the CIB Long-Term Debt incur interest at 2% per annum over 6 months LIBOR (to be settled on monthly basis) plus 50 basis points per annum. As of December 31, 2020, this resulted in an interest rate of 2.3%. The Company’s CIB Long-Term Debt is secured by a letter of guarantee from Mashreqbank PSC.
CIB Short-Term Debt
The Commercial International Bank Short-Term Debt facilities (collectively, “CIB Short-Term Debt”) include a $1.5 million U.S. Dollar time loan facility, a E£2 million Egyptian Pound time loan facility, and a E£10 million Egyptian pound time loan overdraft facility, and $14.5 million U.S. dollars in letters of guarantee. Each CIB Short-Term Debt borrowing matures three months from the date of borrowing with the latest maturity date for amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2021 being December 31, 2021.
The U.S. Dollar time loan facility accrues interest at 2.25% per annum over 3 months LIBOR plus 50 basis points per annum of the Highest Monthly Debit Balance (“HMDB”) commission. The Egyptian Pound time loan and overdraft facilities accrue interest at 0.75% per annum over the Central Bank of Egypt’s Corridor Offer Rate plus 50 basis points per annum, HMDB commission.
As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the CIB Short-Term Debt resulted in an interest rate of 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively, for U.S. Dollar denominated balances, and 10% and 10.0%, respectively, for Egyptian Pound denominated balances. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had utilized $0.9 million of the U.S. Dollar time loan facility, E£0.0 (zero) million of the Egyptian Pound time loan facility, and E£0.0 (zero) million of the Egyptian pound time loan overdraft facility, and $7.9 million in letters of guarantee, with the balances of $0.6 million, E£2 million, E£10 million, and $6.6 million, respectively, available to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had utilized $1.3 million of the U.S. Dollar time loan facility, E£2.0 million of the Egyptian Pound time loan facility, and E£9.8 million of the Egyptian pound time loan overdraft facility, and $8.3 million in letters of guarantee, with the balances of $0.2 million, E£0.0 (zero) million, E£0.2 million, and $6.3 million, respectively, available to the Company.
ABK Short-Term Debt
The Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait working capital and overdraft facilities (collectively, “ABK Short-Term Debt”) mature nine months from the date of borrowing. The ABK Short-Term Debt facilities include a $3.0 million U.S. Dollar time loan facility and $0.2 million U.S. dollars in letters of guarantee. The ABK Short-Term Debt accrues interest at 1.65% per annum over The Central Bank of Egypt’s Corridor Offer Rate. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, this resulted in an interest rate of 11% and 11%, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had utilized $0.0 (zero) million of the ABK Short-Term Debt facility and $0.1 million in letters of guarantee with $3.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, available to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had utilized $2.3 million of the ABK Short-Term Debt facility and $0.2 million in letters of guarantee with $0.8 million and $0.0 (zero) million, respectively, available to the Company. There are no financial covenants associated with the ABK Short-Term Debt.
HSBC Loan Line
On May 3, 2021, the Company borrowed $9.9 million from HSBC to provide short term liquidity for the Action Business Combination. Interest accrued at a rate of 3% plus 1 month LIBOR, per annum, resulting in a rate of 3.1% during the term of the loan. The Company repaid the $9.9 million on August 9, 2011.
On August 9, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $36.0 million from HSBC to repay the $9.9 million HSBC Loan Line previously borrowed and to provide additional liquidity in anticipation of the Company’s October 2021 Secured Facilities Agreement refinancing (Note 20).

As part of the SAPESCO transaction, the Company also assumed other working capital facilities totaling $0.6 million with one bank. The facilities are used for letters of guarantee. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has utilized $0.6 million of these facilities with $0.0 (zero) million available.
In the third quarter of 2021, the Company obtained a $3.0 million working capital facility for the purpose of issuing letters of guarantee in Algeria. The Company utilized $3.0 million of this facility as of September 30, 2021.
November 2021 Refinancing
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a $860 million term loan and revolving Secured Facilities Agreement with Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (“APICORP”), HSBC Bank Middle East Limited, Mashreqbank PSC and Saudi British Bank acting as initial mandated lead arrangers, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited acting as bookrunner and global agent, HSBC Bank Middle East Limited and Mashreqbank PSC acting as coordinator, Saudi British Bank and Mashreqbank PSC acting as security agents, NPS Bahrain for Oil & Gas Wells Services WLL, Gulf Energy SAOC, Energy Oilfield Supplies DMCC and National Petroleum Technology Company as borrowers. The $860 million consists of a $430 million term loan, a $350 million working capital facility for letters of guarantee and letters of credit, and a $80 million revolving credit facility. No payments are due on the term loan until the first quarter of 2023. Borrowings under the term and revolving facilities will incur interest at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.6% to 3.0% per annum, varying based on the Company’s Net Debt / EBITDA ratio. Covenants will include maximum leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA) up to 3.50, minimum debt service coverage ratio (Cash Flow / Debt Service) of at least 1.25, and interest coverage (EBITDA / Interest) of at least 4.00. Upon consummation of this transaction, the Company settled its existing debt obligations described in Note 10, Debt, to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In addition to the financial covenants, the company is also proud to have entered into a green loan facility as part of the broader refinancing, which is based on certain sustainability key performance indicators (KPIs) encompassing environmental, social, and governance metrics.

Capital Resources
In the next twelve months, we believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and available credit facilities, including those of our subsidiaries, will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term operating strategies.
We plan to pursue strategic acquisitions as an element of our business strategy. The timing, size or success of any acquisition and the associated potential capital commitments are unpredictable and uncertain. We may seek to fund all or part of any such acquisition with proceeds from debt or equity issuances, or may issue equity directly to the sellers, in any such acquisition, or any combination thereof. Our ability to obtain capital for strategic acquisitions will depend on our future operating performance, financial condition and, more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing. Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global financial markets and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, any additional debt service requirements we take on could be based on higher interest rates and shorter maturities and could impose a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to our shareholders.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
Customer receivables. In line with industry practice, we bill our customers for our services in arrears and are, therefore, subject to our customers delaying or failing to pay our invoices. In weak economic environments, we may experience increased delays and failures to pay our invoices due to, among other reasons, a reduction in our customers’ cash flow from operations and their access to the credit markets as well as unsettled political conditions. If our customers delay paying or fail to pay us a significant amount of our outstanding receivables, it could have a material impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Shelf registration statement. On August 23, 2019, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC. On September 13, 2019, the SEC declared the shelf registration statement effective. The shelf registration statement gives the Company the ability to sell up to $300.0 million of the Company’s ordinary shares from time to time in one or more offerings. The specific terms, including the amount of any ordinary shares to be sold in such an offering, if it does occur, would be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The shelf registration statement currently provides the Company additional flexibility about potential financings that it may undertake when market conditions permit. The shelf registration statement will expire in 2022.
For other matters affecting liquidity, see Item 5E, “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of credit. The Company had outstanding letters of credit amounting to $22.9 million and $16.9 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
| 46 |
Guarantee agreements. In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet arrangements, such as surety bonds for performance, and other bank issued guarantees which totaled $107.2 million and $101.5 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company has also entered into cash margin guarantees totaling $4.2 million and $3.4 million at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. None of the off-balance sheet arrangements either has, or is likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transaction gains and losses associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than a location’s functional currency.
US dollar balances in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar entities are not considered to represent significant currency risk as the respective currencies in these countries are pegged to the U.S. dollar. Our foreign currency risk arises from the settlement of transactions in currencies other than our functional currency, specifically in Algerian Dinar, Egyptian Pound, Libyan Dinar, and Iraqi Dinar. However, customer contracts in these countries are largely denominated in U.S. dollars.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument may fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk on our accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, and other receivables and certain other assets (such as bank balances) as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the maximum exposure equaling the carrying amount of these assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We seek to manage our credit risk with respect to banks by only dealing with reputable banks (our cash and cash equivalents are primarily held with banks and financial institution counterparties that are rated A1 to Baa3, based on Moody’s ratings) and with respect to customers by monitoring outstanding receivables and following up on outstanding balances. Management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and the country in which our customers operate. We sell our products to a variety of customers, mainly to national oil company customers in the MENA and Asia Pacific regions.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. Our approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable costs or liabilities. We maintain cash flow forecasts to monitor our liquidity position.
Accounts payable are normally settled within the terms of purchase from the supplier. We believe cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and the available credit facilities will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies.
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates on our long-term borrowings as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our foreign subsidiaries and where local exchange rates are not pegged to the U.S. dollar (Algeria, Libya, Egypt and Iraq). However, the foreign exchange risk is largely mitigated by the fact that all customer contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars.
We do not use derivatives for trading purposes, to generate income or to engage in speculative activity.

ITEM 4. INTERNAL CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Periodic Report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not and have not been involved in any material legal proceedings, other than legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business incidental to our business. Although no assurances can be given about the final outcome of pending legal proceedings, at the present time we are not a party to any legal proceeding or investigation that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder of more than five percent of voting securities, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the above-mentioned Company’s interest.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Operations
There are several factors that affect our business and operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to information set forth in this Periodic Report, careful consideration should be given to the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 3D of the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Periodic Report. Such risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
