(2) Acquisitions

Complete Production Services

On February 7, 2012, the Company acquired Complete Production Services, Inc. (Complete) in a cash and stock merger transaction valued at approximately $2,914.8 million. Complete focuses on providing specialized completion and production services and products that help oil and gas companies develop hydrocarbon reserves, reduce costs and enhance production. Complete’s operations are located throughout the United States and Mexico. The acquisition of Complete substantially expanded the size and scope of services of the Company. Management believes that the acquisition positions the combined company to be better equipped to compete with the larger oilfield service companies and to expand internationally. All of Complete’s operations have been reported in the subsea and well enhancement segment.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Complete stockholders received 0.945 of a share of the Company’s common stock and $7.00 cash for each share of Complete’s common stock outstanding at the time of the acquisition. In total, the Company paid approximately $553.3 million in cash and issued approximately 74.7 million shares valued at approximately $2,308.2 million (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date of $30.90). Additionally, the Company paid $676.0 million, inclusive of a $26.0 million prepayment premium, to redeem Complete’s $650 million 8.0% senior notes. The Company also assumed all outstanding stock options and shares of non-vested restricted stock held by Complete’s employees and directors at the time of acquisition.

Complete’s stock options and shares of restricted stock outstanding at closing were converted into the Company’s options and restricted stock using a conversion ratio of 1.1999. The estimated fair value associated with the Company’s options issued in exchange for Complete’s options was approximately $58.1 million based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. $56.6 million of this value was attributable to service rendered prior to the date of acquisition, of which $52.7 million was recorded as part of the consideration transferred and $3.9 million was recorded as an expense. The remaining $1.5 million will be expensed over the remaining service term of the replacement stock option awards. In addition, $0.6 million of replacement restricted stock awards was attributable to service rendered prior to the date of acquisition and recorded as part of the consideration transferred. An additional $18.2 million will be expensed over the remaining service term of the replacement restricted stock awards.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has not finalized the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, therefore, the fair values set forth are subject to adjustment as the valuations are completed. Under U.S. GAAP, companies have one year following an acquisition to finalize acquisition accounting. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the provisional fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

Assets:
Current assets	$	751,706
Property, plant and equipment		1,223,448
Goodwill		1,922,277
Intangible and other long-term assets		370,377
Liabilities:
Current liabilities		236,986
Deferred income taxes		435,904
Other long-term liabilities		4,125
Net assets acquired	$	3,590,793

Included in current assets acquired is approximately $214.6 million of cash, and accounts receivable with a fair value of approximately $443.7 million. The gross amount due from customers is approximately $449.0 million, of which approximately $5.3 million is deemed to be doubtful.

Property, Plant and Equipment

A step-up adjustment of approximately $45.8 million was recorded to present property, plant and equipment acquired at its estimated fair value. The preliminary weighted average useful life used to calculate depreciation of the step-up related to property, plant and equipment is approximately 5 years.

Goodwill

Goodwill of approximately $1,922.3 million was recognized as a result of this acquisition and was calculated as the excess of the consideration paid over the net assets recognized and represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. It includes access to new product and service offerings, an experienced management team and workforce, and other benefits that the Company believes will result from the combination of operations, and any other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill related to this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill has been assigned to the subsea and well enhancement segment.

Intangible Assets

The Company identified intangible assets related to trade names and customer relationships. The following table summarizes the fair value estimates recorded for the identifiable intangible assets (in thousands) and their estimated useful lives:

	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	315,000		17 years
Trade names		35,000		10 years
Total identifiable intangible assets	$	350,000

Deferred Income Taxes

The Company provided deferred income taxes and other tax liabilities as part of the acquisition accounting related to the estimated fair value of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, as well as for uncertain tax positions taken in prior year tax returns. An adjustment of approximately $132.0 million was recorded to present the deferred tax assets and liabilities and other tax liabilities at fair value. The Company is still assessing the factors that impact deferred tax assets and liabilities related to this acquisition. These assets and liabilities will be revised when the assessment is finalized.

Acquisition Related Expenses

Acquisition related expenses totaled approximately $33.2 million, of which approximately $28.7 million was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The remainder was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2011. These acquisition related costs include expenses directly related to acquiring Complete, and have been recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Other Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company acquired a water transfer and storage company and disposal wells for a total of approximately $23.5 million, net of cash acquired. Identifiable intangible assets include goodwill of approximately $9.2 million, all of which was assigned to the Company’s subsea and well enhancement segment.

In September 2011, the Company acquired a pressure pumping company based in Brazil in order to expand the breadth of services offered in Brazil. The Company paid approximately $0.5 million at closing, with an additional $5.8 million payable after the settlement of certain liabilities and administrative formalities. Identifiable intangible assets include goodwill of $3.6 million, all of which was assigned to the Company’s subsea and well enhancement segment.

Current Earnings and Pro Forma Impact of Acquisitions

The revenue and earnings related to Complete and certain other acquisitions included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and the revenue and earnings of the Company on a consolidated basis as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2011, are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts). The earnings related to Complete and certain other acquisitions included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 do not include interest expense or other corporate costs. The pro forma results include (i) the amortization associated with the acquired intangible assets, (ii) additional depreciation expense related to adjustments to property, plant and equipment, (iii) additional interest expense associated with debt used to fund a portion of the Complete acquisition (iv) a reduction to interest expense associated with repayment of Complete’s debt, (v) operating results of certain acquisitions of Complete, and (vi) costs directly related to these acquisitions. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, these proforma results exclude approximately $77.1 million of non-recurring expenses, of which $48.4 million was recorded by Complete prior to February 7, 2012. These nonrecurring expenses include banking, legal, consulting and accounting fees, change of control and other acquisition related expenses. The pro forma results do not include any potential synergies, cost savings or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma results should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition and related borrowings had been consummated as of January 1, 2011 nor are they indicative of future results.

	Revenue		Net income from continuing operations		Basic earnings per share		Diluted earnings per share
Actual results from the acquired businesses from date of acquisitions through the period ended March 31, 2012	$	397,455	$	52,220	$	0.42	$	0.41
Supplemental pro forma for the Company:
Three months ended March 31, 2012	$	1,223,783	$	110,648	$	0.71	$	0.70
Three months ended March 31, 2011	$	855,246	$	43,390	$	0.28	$	0.28

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than potential additional consideration that may be payable as a result of the future operating performance of certain acquired businesses. At March 31, 2012, the maximum additional consideration payable was approximately $9.5 million. Of this amount, $3.0 million is attributable to acquisitions that occurred before the Company adopted the revised authoritative guidance for business combinations; therefore, these amounts are not classified as liabilities and are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements until the amounts are fixed and determinable. When these amounts are determined, they will be capitalized as part of the purchase price of the related acquisition.
