During the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into two Agreements (Agreement 1 and Agreement 2) for certain operating equipment rentals with an industrial manufacturer. Per the terms of Agreement 1, the equipment is being rented for one year and RPC is required to purchase the assets at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed purchase price less the monthly amounts paid during the year. As a result, the Company classified this arrangement as a finance lease and recorded the lease liability using its one year incremental borrowing rate. At the initiation of the lease, the Company recorded finance lease right-of-use assets and short –term finance lease liabilities of $21.7 million.

Per the terms of Agreement 2, certain operating equipment is being rented for one year with variable lease payments based on usage. The Company evaluated the terms of the terms of the contract and concluded that the arrangement contains a lease since it has the rights to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits and to direct the use of the operating equipment. In addition the Company has made an accounting policy election to account for this as a short-term lease and therefore not recognize a related right-of-use asset or lease liability.
