Assets Held for Sale Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company initiated and began executing a strategic plan to sell its Consumer and Industrial Chemistry Technologies (“CICT”) segment. An investment banking advisory services firm was engaged and actively marketed this segment.
The Company met all of the criteria to classify the CICT segment’s assets and liabilities as held for sale in the fourth quarter 2018. The Company has classified the assets,
liabilities, and results of operations for this segment as “Discontinued Operations” for all periods presented.
Disposal of the CICT reporting segment represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement and, subsequently, completed the sale of the CICT segment (see Note 21).

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company initiated a strategic restructuring of its business to enable a greater focus on its core businesses in energy chemistry and consumer and industrial chemistry. The Company executed a plan to sell or otherwise dispose of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments. An investment banking advisory services firm was engaged and actively marketed these segments.
The Company met all of the criteria to classify the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies segments’ assets and liabilities as held for sale in the fourth quarter 2016. The Company has classified the assets, liabilities, and results of operations for these two segments as “Discontinued Operations” for all periods presented.
Disposal of the Drilling Technologies and Production Technologies reporting segments represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
On December 30, 2016, the Company sold a portion of its Drilling Technologies segment and recorded a loss of $1.2 million which is included in the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
On May 22, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and transfer of certain specified
liabilities and obligations of the Company’s Drilling Technologies segment to National Oilwell Varco, L.P. (“NOV”) for $17.0 million in cash consideration, subject to normal working capital adjustments, with $1.5 million held back by NOV for up to 18 months to satisfy potential indemnification claims.
On May 23, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and transfer of certain specified liabilities and obligations of the Company’s Production Technologies segment to Raptor Lift Solutions, LLC (“Raptor Lift”) for $2.9 million in cash consideration, with $0.4 million held back by Raptor Lift to satisfy potential indemnification claims.
On August 16, 2017, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of the Company’s Drilling Technologies segment to Galleon Mining Tools, Inc. for $1.0 million in cash consideration and a note receivable of $1.0 million due in one year.
The sale or disposal of the assets and transfer or liquidation of liabilities and obligations of these segments was completed in 2017. The Company has no continuing involvement with the discontinued operations.

At December 31, 2017, all remaining assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations were assumed by the Company’s continuing operations. These balances included $0.3 million of net accounts receivable, $1.4 million of sales price hold-back that was received during 2018, and $1.4 million of accrued liabilities partially settled in 2018, with the remainder to be settled in 2019. Assets Held for Sale
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company committed to a plan to divest the revenue generating assets associated with the Dalton, Georgia facility within the Energy Chemistry Technologies segment. The Company determined that the divestiture of this business line did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation, as the commitment to divest this business line does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its operations and financial results. These assets were available for immediate sale in their present condition, subject to only usual and customary terms. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, a loss on write-down of assets held for sale of $2.6 million was recorded to state the assets at fair value less costs to sell.
