RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

● ASU No. 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the impact of the reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments, which are elective, provide expedients to contract modifications, affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company adopted these provisions as part of the Amendment No. 6 to its Credit Agreement (see note 11) wherein LIBOR was replaced with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

● ASU No. 2021-08: Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers: The amendments in this ASU address diversity in practice related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination, by adopting guidance requiring an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer would recognize and measure the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities in the same manner that they were recognized and measured in the acquiree's financial statements before the acquisition. The Company plans to adopt these provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring after January 1, 2023 and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

RPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from providing oilfield services. These services are based on mutually agreed upon pricing with the customer prior to the services being delivered and, given the nature of the services, do not include the right of return. Pricing for these services is a function of rates based on the nature of the specific job, with consideration for the extent of equipment, labor, and consumables needed for the job. RPC typically satisfies its performance obligations over time as the services are performed. RPC records revenues based on the transaction price agreed upon with its customers.

Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and therefore excluded from revenues.
