SUPERIOR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

(1)Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 has not been audited.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein.  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation.  The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year. 

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.  In management’s opinion, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure.  Based on the evaluation, the Company determined that there were no material subsequent events for recognition or disclosure.

(2)Revenue

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective adoption method.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

Revenue Recognition

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.  Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services or provide rentals, and is the unit of account under Topic 606.  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.  The majority 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 days.

Services revenue primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service.  Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis.

Rentals revenue is, primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months.

The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

(3)Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  The Company applies net realizable value and obsolescence to the gross value of the inventory.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods for finished goods and work-in-process.  Supplies and consumables primarily consist of products used in our services provided to customers.  The components of the inventory balances are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Finished goods	$	72,884	$	61,764
Raw materials		14,955		13,727
Work-in-process		10,051		6,174
Supplies and consumables		26,309		24,923
Total	$	124,199	$	106,588

(4)Notes Receivable

Notes receivable consist of a commitment from the seller of an oil and gas property acquired by the Company related to costs associated with the abandonment of the acquired property.  Pursuant to an agreement with the seller, the Company will invoice the seller an agreed upon amount at the completion of certain decommissioning activities.  The gross amount of this obligation totals $115.0 million and is recorded at present value using an effective interest rate of 6.58%.  The related discount is amortized to interest income based on the expected timing of completion of the decommissioning activities.  The Company recorded interest income related to notes receivable of $1.9  million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(5)Decommissioning Liabilities

The Company’s decommissioning liabilities associated with an oil and gas property and its related assets consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of the related platform and equipment, and site restoration.  The Company reviews the adequacy of its decommissioning liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows needed to satisfy the liabilities have changed materially.  The Company had decommissioning liabilities of $127.2million and $130.4 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

(6)Debt

The Company’s outstanding debt is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
	Long-term		Long-term
Senior unsecured notes due September 2024	$	500,000	$	500,000
Senior unsecured notes due December 2021		800,000		800,000
Total debt, gross		1,300,000		1,300,000
Unamortized debt issuance costs		(18,855)		(20,229)
Total debt, net	$	1,281,145	$	1,279,771

Credit Facility

The Company has a $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility which matures in October 2022.  The borrowing base under the credit facility is calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves.  Availability under the credit facility is the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due 2021.  At June 30, 2018, the borrowing base was $263.0 million and the Company had $37.9  million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced its borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility.  The credit agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, merger, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements.

8

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company has outstanding $500 million of 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due September 2024.  The indenture governing the 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15th and September 15th of each year, beginning on March 15, 2018, through the maturity date of September 15, 2024.

The Company also has outstanding $800 million of 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due December 2021.  The indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due 2021 requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15th and December 15th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021. 

(7)  Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable.  The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows.  

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value at June 30, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	373	$	13,904	$	-	$	14,277
Accounts payable
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,163	$	-	$	1,163
Other long-term liabilities
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	21,081	$	-	$	21,081
	Fair Value at December 31, 2017
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	370	$	13,817	$	-	$	14,187
Accounts payable
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,253	$	-	$	1,253
Other long-term liabilities
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	21,085	$	-	$	21,085

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds.  These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximates their carrying amounts.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,321.0  million and $1,347.0million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  The fair value of these debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instruments as quoted in over-the-counter markets, which are Level 1 inputs.

The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells premium drill pipe, bottom hole assemblies, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities.  It also provides on-site accommodations and machining services.  The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides pressure pumping services used to complete and stimulate production in new oil and gas wells, fluid handling services and well servicing rigs that provide a variety of well completion, workover and maintenance services.  The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services.  The Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including well control services, stimulation and sand control services and well plug and abandonment services. It also includes production and sale of oil and gas. 

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on income or loss from operations excluding allocated corporate expenses.  The segment measure is calculated as follows: segment revenues less segment operating expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and reduction in value of assets.  The Company uses this segment measure to evaluate its reportable segments because it is the measure that is most consistent with how the Company organizes and manages its business operations.  Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, salaries and benefits for corporate employees and stock-based compensation expense.

Geographic Segments

The Company attributes revenue to various countries based on the location of where services are performed or the destination of the drilling products or equipment sold or rented.  Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and are attributed to various countries based on the physical location of the asset at the end of a period.  The Company’s revenue attributed to the U.S. and to other countries and the value of its long-lived assets by those locations are as follows (in thousands):

(9)Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company maintains various stock incentive plans that provide long-term incentives to the Company’s key employees, including officers, directors, consultants and advisors (Eligible Participants).  Under the stock incentive plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof to Eligible Participants.  The Company’s total compensation expense related to these plans was approximately $16.3million and $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses.

(10)  Income Taxes

The Company had $30.7 million of unrecorded tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.  It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and no revisions were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

(11) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations; therefore the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

(12)  Supplemental Guarantor Information

SESI, L.L.C. (the Issuer), a 100% owned subsidiary of Superior Energy Services, Inc. (Parent), has $500 million of 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due 2024. The Parent, along with certain of its 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally guaranteed such senior unsecured notes, and such guarantees are joint and several.

(13)  Discontinued Operations

During the six months endedJune 30, 2018, the remaining marine vessels and equipment of the Company’s former subsea construction business were disposed of, resulting in $0.8 million loss on sale.Loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  Loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

(14)  New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  The guidance in this ASU applies to all entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to the modification of the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 include guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.  The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  The guidance in this ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts

21

shown on the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018 and applied it retrospectively to the periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was adjusted to exclude the change in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for the future decommissioning obligations associated with an oil and gas property.  The adjustment resulted in a $30.6 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.  The guidance in this ASU requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The guidance in this ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue that it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective adoption method.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

Standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet.  This new ASU will require the lessee to recognize a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for all leases longer than 12 months.  For leases with a term of 12 month or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and recognize the lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Under the new guidance, the Company will revise its leasing policies to require most of the leases, where the Company is the lessee, to be recognized on the balance sheet as a lease and lease liability.  Further, the Company will separate leases from other contracts where the Company is either the lessor or lessee when the rights conveyed under the contracts indicate there is a lease.  The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company anticipates that its assets and liabilities will increase by a significant amount.   The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by us with the SEC contain, and future oral or written statements or press releases by us and our management may contain, forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks” and “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.  All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or such other materials regarding our financial position, financial performance, liquidity, strategic alternatives, market outlook, future capital needs, capital allocation plans, business strategies and other plans and objectives of our management for future operations and activities are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and prevailing circumstances on the date such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements, and the assumptions on which they are based, are inherently speculative and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from such statements. Such uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the cyclicality and volatility of the oil and gas industry, including changes in prevailing oil and gas prices or expectations about future prices; operating hazards, including the significant possibility of accidents resulting in personal injury or death, property damage or environmental damage for which we may have limited or no insurance coverage or indemnification rights; the effect of regulatory programs (including regarding worker health and safety laws) and environmental matters on our operations or prospects, including the risk that future changes in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing could reduce or eliminate demand for our pressure pumping and fluid management services, or that future changes in climate change legislation could result in increased operating costs or reduced commodity demand globally; counterparty risks associated with reliance on key suppliers; risks associated with the uncertainty of macroeconomic and business conditions worldwide; changes in competitive and technological factors affecting our operations; credit risk associated with our customer base; the potential inability to retain key employees and skilled workers; challenges with estimating our oil and natural gas reserves and potential liabilities related to our oil and natural gas property; risks associated with potential changes of Bureau of Ocean Energy management security and bonding requirements for offshore platforms; risks inherent in acquiring businesses; risks associated with cyber-attacks; risks associated with business growth during an industry recovery outpacing the capabilities of our infrastructure and workforce; political, legal, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with our international operations; potential changes in tax laws, adverse positions taken by tax authorities or tax audits impacting our operating results; risks associated with our outstanding debt obligations and the potential effect of limiting our future growth and operations; our continued access to credit markets on favorable terms; the impact that unfavorable or unusual weather conditions could have on our operations; claims, litigation or other proceedings that require cash payments or could impair financial condition; not realizing the benefits of acquisitions or divestitures and volatility of the Company’s common stock. These risks and other uncertainties related to our business are described in detail in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after such statements are made, including for example the market prices of oil and gas and regulations affecting oil and gas operations, which we cannot control or anticipate. Further, we may make changes to our business strategies and plans (including our capital spending and capital allocation plans) at any time and without notice, based on any changes in the above-listed factors, our assumptions or otherwise, any of which could or will affect our results. For all these reasons, actual events and results may differ materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or implied by us in our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of our forward-looking statements for any reason and, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in our business plans, our actual experience, or other changes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Executive Summary

General

We provide a wide variety of services and products to the energy industry.  We serve major, national and independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies around the world and offer products and services with respect to the various phases of a well’s economic life cycle.  We report our operating results in four business segments: Drilling Products and Services; Onshore Completion and Workover Services; Production Services; and Technical Solutions. 

Industry Trends

The oil and gas industry is both cyclical and seasonal.  The level of spending by oil and gas companies is highly influenced by current and expected demand and future prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in spending result in an increased or decreased demand for our services and products. Rig count is an indicator of the level of spending by oil and gas companies. Our financial performance is significantly affected by the rig count in the U.S. land and offshore market areas as well as oil and natural gas prices and worldwide rig activity, which are summarized in the tables below.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018

For the second quarter of 2018,  our revenue was $535.5 million and the net loss from continuing operations was $25.4 million, or a $0.16 loss per share.  Net loss was $26.4 million, or a $0.17 loss per share.  This compares to net loss from continuing operations of $59.9 million, or $0.39 loss per share for the first quarter of 2018, on revenue of $482.3 million.  Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $59.7 million, or $0.39 loss per share.  The increase in U.S land market drilling activity largely contributed to the overall increase in our total revenues for the second quarter of 2018.   

Second quarter 2018 revenue in our Drilling Products and Services segment increased 10% sequentially to $94.0 million, as compared to $85.2 million in the first quarter of 2018.  U.S. land revenue increased 7% sequentially to $43.4 million due to the increase in drilling activity during the quarter.  International revenue increased 17% sequentially to $27.3 million due to an increase in rentals of premium drill pipe.  Gulf of Mexico revenue increased11% sequentially to $23.3 million primarily due to an increase in rentals of premium drill pipe.

Second quarter 2018 revenue in our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment increased 19% to 276.2 million, as compared to $231.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. 

Second quarter 2018 revenue in our Production Services segment increased1% sequentially to $102.0 million, as compared to $100.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. International revenue increased31% sequentially to $40.5 million primarily due to an increase in hydraulic workover and snubbing activities.  The increase was partially offset by decreases in revenue from U.S. land and Gulf of Mexico market areas.  U.S. land revenue decreased 9% sequentially to $47.9 million and Gulf of Mexico revenue decreased 22% sequentially to $13.6 million primarily due to a decrease in pressure control, hydraulic workover and snubbing and coiled tubing activities in those markets.

Second quarter 2018 revenue in our Technical Solutions segment decreased 2% sequentially to $63.3 million, as compared to $64.8 million in the first quarter of 2018.  Gulf of Mexico revenue decreased 6% sequentially to $35.3 million due to a decrease in demand for completion tools and products.  International revenue decreased 2% sequentially to $20.1 million primarily due to a decrease in demand for well control services.  These decreases were offset by an increase from U.S. land revenue, which increased 16% sequentially to $7.9 million.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in demand for completion tools and products.

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our revenue was $535.5 million, an increase of $ 65.4 million or 14%, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The increase is largely attributable to a 17% increase in the U.S. land rig count.  The net loss from continuing operations was $25.4 million, or a $0.16 loss per share.  Net loss was $26.4 million, or a $0.17 loss per share.  This compares to a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 of $62.0 million, or a $0.41 loss per share.  Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $63.8 million, or a $0.42 loss per share.

Revenue from our Production Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by 15% to $102.0 million, as compared to $88.6 million for the same period in 2017.  Cost of services and rentals as a percentage of revenue increased to 83% of segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 81% for the same period in 2017.  Revenue from the U.S. land market area increased 45%, primarily due to increased activity in coiled tubing and pressure control services.  The revenue from the international market areas increased 14%, primarily due to an increase in hydraulic workover and snubbing and coiled tubing activities.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the Gulf of Mexico market area.  Revenue from Gulf of Mexico market area decreased 32%, primarily due to a decrease in hydraulic workover and snubbing activities, slickline services and specialty rentals.   

Technical Solutions Segment

Revenue from our Technical Solutions segment remained flat at $63.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  Cost of services and rentals as a percentage of revenue decreased to 60% of segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 64% for the same period in 2017.  Revenue from the international market areas increased 48%, primarily due to an increase in demand for well control services.  Revenue derived from the Gulf of Mexico market area decreased 16%, primarily due to a decrease in demand for completion tools and products.  Revenue from the U.S. land market area remained unchanged.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion decreased to $98.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $108.1 million during the same period in 2017.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for our Drilling Products and Services segment by $5.0 million, or 15%; for our Production Services segment by $5.9 million, or 29%; and for our Technical Solutions segment by $2.0 million, or 24%.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased for our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment by $2.8 million, or 6%.  Depreciation expense for Corporate and Other remained flat.  The decrease in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion is primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $69.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $76.7 million during the same period in 2017.  Despite a 14% increase in revenue, our total general and administrative expenses decreased 9%.  This demonstrates that we continue to benefit from the steps taken during the industry downturn, to reduce our cost structure and integrate product and service lines.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 13% compared to a 33% effective income tax rate for the same period in 2017.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including a reduced U.S. corporate tax rate. 

Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our revenue was $1,017.9 million, an increase of $ 146.9 million or 17%, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The increase is largely attributable to a 24% increase in the U.S. land rig count.  The net loss from continuing operations was $85.4 million, or a $0.56 loss per share.  Net loss was $86.1 million, or a $0.56 loss per share.  This compares to a net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $151.7 million, or a $1.00 loss per share.  Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $155.5 million, or a $1.02 loss per share.

The following table compares our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands, except percentages).  Cost of services and rentals excludes depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion for each of our business segments.

26

area.  Cost of services and rentals as a percentage of revenue decreased to 77% of segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 88% for the same period in 2017, primarily due to improved pricing and efficiencies, as well as decreased start-up and fleet reactivation costs for our pressure pumping business.  The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increased  activity in our pressure pumping, fluid management and well services businesses.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 13% compared to a 33% effective income tax rate for the same period in 2017.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including a reduced U.S. corporate tax rate. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we generated net cash from operating activities of $39.4 million, as compared to   $17.1 million for the same period in 2017.  Our primary liquidity needs during the next twelve months are for working capital and capital expenditures.  Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our credit facility.  We had cash and cash equivalents of $118.5 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $172.0 million at December 31, 2017. 

We spent $119.8 million of cash on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Approximately $28.0million was used to expand and maintain our Drilling Products and Services segment’s equipment inventory.  Approximately $77.1million was spent on our Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment, primarily to rebuild our pressure pumping fleet.  Approximately $3.5million and $6.9million was spent in our Production Services and Technical Solutions segments, respectively and $4.3 million was spent in Corporate and Other.  We expect to spend up to approximately $225 million on capital expenditures during 2018.  We plan to continue adjusting our capital spending to align with market conditions and customer demand.

We have a $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility which matures in October 2022.  The borrowing base under the credit facility is calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible

27

inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves.  Availability under the credit facility is the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due 2021.  At June 30, 2018, the borrowing base was $263.0  million and we had $37.9 million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced our borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility.   The credit agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, merger, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements.  At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

We have outstanding $500 million of 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due September 2024.  The indenture governing the 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15th and September 15th of each year, beginning on March 15, 2018, through the maturity date of September 15, 2024.  The indenture contains customary events of default and requires that we satisfy various covenants.  At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

We also have outstanding $800 million of 7 1/8% unsecured senior notes due December 2021.  The indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior notes due 2021 requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15th and December 15th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021.  The indenture contains customary events of default and requires that we satisfy various covenants.  At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Other Matters

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Hedging Activities

At June 30, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements and no hedging contracts.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

See Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements – Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements.”

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates.  A discussion of our market risk exposure in financial instruments follows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates Risk

Because we operate in a number of countries throughout the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency for our international operations, other than certain operations in the United Kingdom and Europe, is the U.S. dollar, but a portion of the revenues from our international operations is paid in foreign currencies.  The effects of foreign currency fluctuations are partly mitigated because local expenses of such international operations are also generally denominated in the same currency.  We continually monitor the currency exchange risks associated with all contracts not denominated in the U.S. dollar. 

Assets and liabilities of certain subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Europe are translated at end of period exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period.  Translation gains and losses are reported as the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. 

We do not hold derivatives for trading purposes or use derivatives with complex features. When we believe prudent, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. We do not enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes.  At June 30, 2018, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2018, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.

28

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues and profitability significantly depend upon the market prices of oil and natural gas.

For additional discussion, see Part 1, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)

Changes in internal control.  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

29

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions incidental to our business.   The outcome of these proceedings is not predictable.  However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

For information regarding certain risks relating to our operations, any of which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results or prospects, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Basis of Presentation

(1)Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); however, management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Superior Energy Services, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein.

The financial information of Superior Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 has not been audited.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented have been included therein.  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation.  The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might be expected for the entire year. 

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the Company is involved, from time to time, in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims regarding its business activities. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.  In management’s opinion, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued for potential recognition or disclosure.  Based on the evaluation, the Company determined that there were no material subsequent events for recognition or disclosure.

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective adoption method.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

Revenue Recognition

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.  Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities and revenues are reported on a net basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation arises under contracts with customers to render services or provide rentals, and is the unit of account under Topic 606.  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.  The majority 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 days.

Services revenue primarily represents amounts charged to customers for the completion of services rendered, including labor, products and supplies necessary to perform the service.  Rates for these services vary depending on the type of services provided and can be based on a per job, per hour or per day basis.

Rentals revenue is, primarily priced on a per day, per man hour or similar basis and consists of fees charged to customers for use of the Company’s rental equipment over the term of the rental period, which is generally less than twelve months.

The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.

Credit Facility

The Company has a $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility which matures in October 2022.  The borrowing base under the credit facility is calculated based on a formula referencing the borrower’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible premium rental drill pipe less reserves.  Availability under the credit facility is the lesser of (i) the commitments, (ii) the borrowing base and (iii) the highest principal amount permitted to be secured under the indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due 2021.  At June 30, 2018, the borrowing base was $263.0 million and the Company had $37.9  million of letters of credit outstanding that reduced its borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility.  The credit agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, merger, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Company has outstanding $500 million of 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due September 2024.  The indenture governing the 7 3/4% senior unsecured notes due 2024 requires semi-annual interest payments on March 15th and September 15th of each year, beginning on March 15, 2018, through the maturity date of September 15, 2024.

The Company also has outstanding $800 million of 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due December 2021.  The indenture governing the 7 1/8% senior unsecured notes due 2021 requires semi-annual interest payments on June 15th and December 15th of each year through the maturity date of December 15, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

(7)  Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Inputs used in determining fair value are characterized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observable.  The three input levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows.  

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables provide a summary of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

	Fair Value at June 30, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	373	$	13,904	$	-	$	14,277
Accounts payable
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,163	$	-	$	1,163
Other long-term liabilities
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	21,081	$	-	$	21,081
	Fair Value at December 31, 2017
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Intangible and other long-term assets, net
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	$	370	$	13,817	$	-	$	14,187
Accounts payable
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	1,253	$	-	$	1,253
Other long-term liabilities
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	$	-	$	21,085	$	-	$	21,085

The Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plans allow officers, certain highly compensated employees and non-employee directors to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more hypothetical investment funds.  These investments are reported at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identifiable assets and observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities, which represent Levels 1 and 2, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximates their carrying amounts.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $1,321.0  million and $1,347.0million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  The fair value of these debt instruments is determined by reference to the market value of the instruments as quoted in over-the-counter markets, which are Level 1 inputs.

Segment Information

(8)  Segment Information

Business Segments

The Drilling Products and Services segment rents and sells premium drill pipe, bottom hole assemblies, tubulars and specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion, production and workover activities.  It also provides on-site accommodations and machining services.  The Onshore Completion and Workover Services segment provides pressure pumping services used to complete and stimulate production in new oil and gas wells, fluid handling services and well servicing rigs that provide a variety of well completion, workover and maintenance services.  The Production Services segment provides intervention services such as coiled tubing, cased hole and mechanical wireline, hydraulic workover and snubbing, production testing and optimization, and remedial pumping services.  The Technical Solutions segment provides services typically requiring specialized engineering, manufacturing or project planning, including well control services, stimulation and sand control services and well plug and abandonment services. It also includes production and sale of oil and gas. 

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on income or loss from operations excluding allocated corporate expenses.  The segment measure is calculated as follows: segment revenues less segment operating expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expense and reduction in value of assets.  The Company uses this segment measure to evaluate its reportable segments because it is the measure that is most consistent with how the Company organizes and manages its business operations.  Corporate and other costs primarily include expenses related to support functions, salaries and benefits for corporate employees and stock-based compensation expense.

Income Taxes

(10)  Income Taxes

The Company had $30.7 million of unrecorded tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.  It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and applicable penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and no revisions were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(11) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that could have been outstanding assuming the exercise of stock options and the conversion of restricted stock units.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations; therefore the impact of any incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

Standards adopted

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.  The guidance in this ASU applies to all entities that change the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to the modification of the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in ASU 2017-09 include guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.  The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The amendments provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  The guidance in this ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018 and applied it retrospectively to the periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was adjusted to exclude the change in restricted cash related to cash held in escrow for the future decommissioning obligations associated with an oil and gas property.  The adjustment resulted in a $30.6 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.  The guidance in this ASU requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The guidance in this ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue that it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  The Company adopted the accounting guidance as of January 1, 2018.  The Company adopted this ASU using the modified retrospective adoption method.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

Standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet.  This new ASU will require the lessee to recognize a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term for all leases longer than 12 months.  For leases with a term of 12 month or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and recognize the lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Under the new guidance, the Company will revise its leasing policies to require most of the leases, where the Company is the lessee, to be recognized on the balance sheet as a lease and lease liability.  Further, the Company will separate leases from other contracts where the Company is either the lessor or lessee when the rights conveyed under the contracts indicate there is a lease.  The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company anticipates that its assets and liabilities will increase by a significant amount.   The new standard is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019.
