Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

We reclassified approximately $5.5 million of accrued bonus related to our short-term incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2022, from other accrued liabilities to accrued compensation to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Some of the Company’s more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition and asset recoverability tests and inventories

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues through the sale of products, the sale of services and the leasing of running tools. The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the over-time method, rental tools and services separately. Modifications to the scope and price of sales contracts may occur in the form of variations and change orders. For all product sales, it is the customer’s decision as to the timing of the product installation, as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Company’s technical advisory assistance services. The customer may instead choose to use a third party or its own personnel.

Leasing Revenues

The Company earns leasing revenues from the rental of running tools. Revenues from rental of running tools are recognized on a day rate basis over the lease term, which is generally between one to three months.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company’s investment objectives continue to be the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.

The Company’s ABL Credit Facility, dated February 23, 2018, as amended, was terminated effective February 22, 2022. We opened a new cash collateral account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in which cash was transferred to facilitate our existing letters of credit. As of June 30, 2023, the cash balance in that account was approximately $4.2 million. The Company is required to maintain a balance equal to the outstanding letters of credit plus 5% at all times which is considered as restricted cash and is included in “Cash and cash equivalents” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Withdrawals from this cash collateral account are only allowed at such point a given letter of credit has expired or has been cancelled.

Short-term Investments

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments that have a maturity greater than three months and less than a year from the date of purchase are comprised primarily of time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bonds and notes, substantially all of which are denominated in U.S. dollars and are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Company expects to hold all of its Short-term investments to maturity.

For purposes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company does not consider Short-term investments to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We evaluate our property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Should the review indicate that the carrying value is not fully recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. We assess recoverability based on undiscounted future net cash flows. Estimating future net cash flows requires us to make judgements regarding long-term forecasts of future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts are uncertain in that they require assumptions about our revenue growth, operating margins, capital expenditures, future market conditions and technological developments. If changes in these assumptions occur, our expectations regarding future net cash flows may change such that a material impairment could result.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges consist of costs associated with our 2021 global strategic plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2021, in an effort to realign our subsea product business with the market conditions. During the first half of 2023, the Company incurred $1.1 million of additional costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. During the second quarter of 2023, as we completed our re-segmentation project and as the 2021 global strategic program comes to a conclusion, the Company reassessed the reasonability of a restructuring liability related to its Well Construction business. During our assessment certain market exit costs became known and the liability was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a release of approximately $2.3 million. This release of restructuring liability was partially offset by charges incurred during the current year, primarily consisting of office moves, site cleanup, preparation costs, consulting and legal fees. During the first half of 2022, the Company incurred $5.8 million of additional costs under the 2021 global strategic plan. Approximately $5.1 million of these charges were primarily related to write-down of our long-lived assets and the remaining $0.7 million were related to consulting and legal fees, office moves and site cleanup, and preparation costs.

Repurchase of Equity Securities

Repurchase of Equity Securities

On February 22, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental $100.0 million share repurchase plan. The repurchase plans have no set expiration date and any repurchased shares are expected to be cancelled. The manner, timing and amount of any purchase will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, stock price, liquidity and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock and may be modified or superseded at any time at the Company’s discretion.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not purchase any shares under the share repurchase plans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 157,101 shares under the share repurchase plans at an average price of approximately $24.49 per share totaling approximately $3.8 million and has retired such shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 430,730 shares under the share repurchase plans at an average price of approximately $22.40 per share totaling approximately $9.6 million and has retired such shares.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock awards using the treasury stock method.

In each relevant period, the net income (loss) used in the basic and dilutive earnings per share calculations is the same. The following table reconciles the weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average diluted number of common shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		34,130		34,476		34,129		34,485
Dilutive effect of common stock awards		360		-		359		-
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		34,490		34,476		34,488		34,485

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company has excluded the following common stock awards because their impact on the income (loss) per share is anti-dilutive (in thousands on a weighted average basis):

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	(In thousands)
Director stock awards		-		58		-		58
Performance share units		-		260		-		260
Restricted stock awards		-		507		-		512
