NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Dril-Quip”), manufactures highly engineered offshore drilling and production equipment which is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. The Company’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters for use by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. Dril-Quip also provides installation and reconditioning services and rents running tools for use in connection with the installation and retrieval of its products. The Company has four subsidiaries that manufacture and market the Company’s products abroad. Dril-Quip (Europe) Limited is located in Aberdeen, Scotland, with branches in Norway, Holland and Denmark. Dril-Quip Asia Pacific PTE Ltd. is located in Singapore. DQ Holdings PTY Ltd. is located in Perth, Australia and Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA is located in Macae, Brazil.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Dril-Quip and are unaudited, except for the balance sheet at December 31, 2002, which has been prepared from the audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2003, and the results of operations for each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Although management believes the unaudited interim related disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations and the cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 from those estimates.

 

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

 

Inventories

 

The Company’s inventories are reported at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided on income and expenses which are reported in different periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company delivers most of its products and services on an as-needed basis by its customers and records revenues as the products are shipped and as services are rendered. Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined generally on a case by case basis and historically have been insignificant. Certain revenues are derived from long-term contracts which generally require more than one year to fulfill. Revenues and profits on long-term contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method based on a cost-incurred basis. Losses, if any, on contracts are recognized when they become known. Contracts for long-term projects contain provisions for customer progress payments. Payments in excess of revenues recognized are included as a customer prepayment liability.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average rates during each reporting period. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flows.

 

Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. These amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative costs in the consolidated statements of income.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting For Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted under the Company’s incentive plan.

DRIL-QUIP, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

 

Under SFAS No. 123, pro forma information is required to reflect the estimated effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for the stock options using the fair value method. The fair value was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     2003

 

Risk free interest rate

     4.25 %

Volatility of the stock price

     0.626  

Expected life of options (in years)

     5  

Expected dividend

     0.0 %

Calculated fair value per option

   $ 11.66  

 

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the above plan consistent with the alternative accounting method under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2003 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts listed below.

There were no option grants during the third quarter of 2003.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt instruments. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are either short-term in nature or carry interest rates which approximate market rates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses and such losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

Comprehensive Income

 

SFAS No. 130 establishes the rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires the Company to include unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income. Generally, gains are attributed to a weakening U.S. dollar and losses are the result of a strengthening U.S. dollar.

 

The following table provides comprehensive income for the periods indicated:

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Effective January 1, 2003, Dril-Quip adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (“SFAS No. 145”). SFAS No. 145 requires that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (“Opinion No. 30”). Applying the provisions of Opinion No. 30 will distinguish transactions that are part of an entity’s recurring operations from those that are unusual and infrequent and meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. Under SFAS No. 145, the Company will report gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt, if any, in pre-tax earnings rather than in extraordinary items.

 

Effective January 1, 2003, Dril-Quip adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS No. 146”). SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, such as restructuring, involuntarily terminating employees, and consolidating facilities. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on Dril-Quip’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected certain aspects of the Company’s financial position and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein, and with the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Overview

 

Dril-Quip manufactures highly engineered offshore drilling and production equipment which is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. The Company designs and manufactures subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment for use by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. The Company’s principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. Dril-Quip also provides installation and reconditioning services and rents running tools for use in connection with the installation and retrieval of its products.

 

Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services and the Company’s business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility.

 

Revenues. Dril-Quip’s revenues are generated by its two operating groups: the Product Group and the Service Group. The Product Group manufactures offshore drilling and production equipment, and the Service Group provides installation and reconditioning services as well as rental running tools for installation and retrieval of its products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company derived 83% of its revenues from the sale of its products and 17% of its revenues from services. Revenues from the Service Group generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales generate increased revenues from installation services and rental running tools. Substantially all of Dril-Quip’s sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.

 

The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on a percentage of completion basis. For the first nine months of 2003, 6 projects representing approximately 13% of the Company’s revenues were accounted for using percentage of completion accounting. This percentage may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally recognized on the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated costs. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recognized when they become known. Amounts billed to or received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability.

 

Foreign sales represent a significant portion of the Company’s business. In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company generated approximately 64% of its revenues from foreign sales. In this period, approximately 63% (on the basis of revenues generated) of all products sold were manufactured in the United States.

Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. Variable costs, such as labor, raw materials, supplies and energy, generally account for approximately two-thirds of the Company’s cost of sales. Fixed costs, such as the fixed portion of manufacturing overhead, constitute the remainder of the Company’s cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is also influenced by the product mix sold in any particular quarter and market conditions. The Company’s costs related to its foreign operations do not significantly differ from its domestic costs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with sales and marketing, general corporate overhead, compensation expense, legal expenses and other related administrative functions.

 

Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product development and testing, as well as application engineering related to customized products.

 

Income Tax Provision. Dril-Quip’s effective tax rate has historically been lower than the statutory rate due to benefits from its foreign sales corporation or foreign income tax rate differentials.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

 

Revenues. Revenues increased by $4.0 million, or approximately 7.6%, to $56.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $52.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2002. The net increase resulted from increased domestic sales in the United States of $700,000 and increased sales of approximately $8.3 million in the European area offset by decreased export sales from the United States of $4.1 million and decreased sales of $900,000 in the Asia-Pacific region. Revenues increased in the European area primarily due to increased deliveries of large diameter connectors and pipe. Export sales from the United States fell as the Company experienced reduced shipments to South America and Brazil.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased $2.4 million, or approximately 6.3%, to $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $38.3 million for the same period in 2002. As a percentage of revenues,

 

11


cost of sales were approximately 72% and 73% for the three-month periods ending September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to favorable changes in product mix and reductions in manufacturing costs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. In the three months ended September 30, 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $900,000, or approximately 13%, to $7.7 million from $6.8 million in the 2002 period. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of the Company’s worldwide sales force as well as foreign currency exchange losses incurred in the third quarter of 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to approximately 13.6% in 2003 from approximately 13% in 2002.

 

Engineering and Product Development Expenses. In the three months ended September 30, 2003, engineering and product development expenses increased by approximately 17% to $4.4 million from $3.7 million in the same period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to costs related to the development of new products. Engineering and product development expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 7.7% in 2003 from 7.1% in 2002.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $361,000 as compared to interest expense of $530,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. This change resulted primarily from reduced borrowings during the period ended September 30, 2003 under the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit.

 

Income Taxes. Dril-Quip’s effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to foreign income tax rate differentials. The Company’s effective tax rate has been lower during 2003 as compared to 2002 due to increased sales and profits experienced in lower tax rate foreign locations.

 

Net Income. Net income was approximately $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003 versus $2.3 million for the same period in 2002, for the reasons set forth above.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

 

Revenues. Revenues increased by approximately $9.9 million, or 6.2%, to $167.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $157.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The net increase was primarily due to increased domestic sales in the United States of $2.0 million, increased sales of $10 million in the European area and $1.8 million in the Asia Pacific area, offset by decreased export sales from the United States of $3.9 million. Export sales from the United States fell as the Company experienced reduced shipments to South America and Brazil.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased $7.4 million, or approximately 6.5%, to $120.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $113.4 million for the same period in 2002. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were essentially unchanged at 72.1% and 71.9% for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million or approximately 7.9%, to $22.1 million from $20.5 million in the 2002 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained constant as a percentage of revenues at approximately 13%.

 

Engineering and Product Development Expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, engineering and product development expenses increased by $1.6 million, or approximately 14.2%, to $12.7 million from $11.1 million in the same period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to costs related to the development of new products and expenses related to new project proposals. Engineering and product development expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 7.6% in 2003 from 7.0% in 2002.

Special Item. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include a $0.9 million after-tax effect of settling a previously disclosed warranty claim related to the Company’s drilling riser product. This item was included in the Company’s second quarter 2003 results. Due to this settlement, all outstanding warranty issues related to this product have been resolved.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately $1.2 million as compared to interest expense of $1.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. This change resulted primarily from reduced borrowings during the period ended September 30, 2003 under the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit.

 

Income Taxes. Dril-Quip’s effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to foreign income tax rate differentials. The Company’s effective tax rate has been lower during 2003 as compared to 2002 due to increased sales and profits experienced in lower tax rate foreign locations.

 

Net Income. Net income decreased by approximately $900,000, or approximately 11.8%, to $6.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $7.4 million for the same period in 2002 for the reasons set forth above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital expenditures to increase manufacturing capacity, improve and expand facilities and manufacture additional rental running tools and (ii) to fund working capital. The Company’s principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and bank indebtedness.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $20.8 million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The improvement in cash flow from operating activities was principally due to decreased working capital requirements attributable to trade receivables and inventory, offset by reduced requirements related to trade accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Capital expenditures by the Company were $7.3 million and $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Principal payments on the Company’s revolving line of credit and its long-term debt were approximately $11.1 million and $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Company has a credit facility with Guaranty Bank, FSB providing an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $65 million. At the option of the Company, borrowing under this facility bears interest at either a rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 1.75% or the Guaranty Bank base rate. In addition, the facility calls for quarterly interest payments and terminates on May 18, 2006. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had drawn down $36 million under this facility for operating activities and capital expenditures.

 

Dril-Quip (Europe) Limited has a credit agreement with the Bank of Scotland dated March 21, 2001 in the amount of U.K. Pounds Sterling 3.7 million (approximately U.S. $6.1 million). Borrowing under this facility bears interest at the Bank of Scotland base rate, currently 3.50%, plus 1%, and is repayable in 120 equal monthly installments, plus interest. This facility was used to finance capital expenditures in Norway.

 

Dril-Quip Asia Pacific PTE Ltd. has a secured term loan with the Overseas Union Bank dated August 29, 2001 in the amount of Singapore $6 million (approximately U.S. $3.4 million). Borrowing under this facility bears interest at the swap rate, approximately 0.77%, plus 1.5% and is repayable in 40 equal quarterly installments, plus interest. This facility was used to finance capital expenditures in Singapore.

 

The Company believes that cash generated from operations plus cash on hand and its existing lines of credit will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements in

 

13


the remainder of 2003 and 2004. However, should market conditions result in unexpected cash requirements, the Company believes that additional borrowing from commercial lending institutions would be readily available and more than adequate to meet such requirements.

 

Item 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could be subject to market risks inherent to such transactions.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
