NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newpark Resources, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as “we,” “our,” or “us,” have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and do not include all information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Our fiscal year end is December 31, our thirdsecond quarter represents the three-monththree month period ended SeptemberJune 30, and our first nine monthshalf represents the nine-monthsix month period ended SeptemberJune 30. The results of operations for the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our results of operations for the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 20192020 and 2018,2019, and our cash flows for the first nine monthshalf of 20192020 and 2018.2019. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Our balance sheet at December 31, 20182019 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, see Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Adopted in 20192020
Leases.Credit Losses. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the guidance related to the accounting for leases. The new guidance provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from finance and operating leases. The classification as either a finance or operating lease will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.
We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and recorded approximately $28 million of operating lease assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019, with no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The new guidance had no impact on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance.
As permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, we elected to carry forward the historical lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. We have also made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 8 for additional required disclosures.
Standards Not Yet Adopted
Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new guidance requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” for such assets at inception, which will generally result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Under previous guidance, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable were determined on a specific identification basis when we believed that the required payment of specific amounts owed to us was not probable. Under the new guidance, our allowance for credit losses reflects losses that are expected over the contractual life of the asset, and takes into account historical loss experience, current and future economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method, and recorded a net reduction of $0.7 million to opening retained earnings to reflect the cumulative effect of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance. See Note 5 for additional required disclosures.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the new accounting guidance for credit losses were as follows:

Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 20202021 with early adoption permitted and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. As part of our assessment work to date, we have formed an implementation work team and conducted a preliminary analysis of the new guidance. Based on our current financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, we anticipate the new guidance may require us to reflect additional credit loss expense; however, we have not yet completed an estimation of such amount and wepermitted. We are stillcurrently evaluating the overall impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

For the thirdsecond quarter and first half of 2019,2020, we excluded all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred for this period.these periods. The 2021 Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7) only impact the calculation of diluted net income per share in periods that the average price of our common stock, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2021 Convertible Notes, exceeds the conversion price of $9.33 per share. We have the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock, or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the 2021 Convertible Notes as further described in Note 7. If converted, we currently intend to settle the principal amount of the notes in cash and as a result, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amount of the notes, if any, arewould be assumed to be settled with shares of common stock for purposes of computing diluted net income per share.

Note 3 – Capital Stock and Repurchase Program
In November 2018, our Board of Directors authorized changes to our existingOur securities repurchase program. The authorization increased the amount under the repurchase program to $100 million,remains available for repurchases of any combination of our common stock and our 2021 Convertible Notes. The repurchase program has no specific term. Repurchases are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and borrowings under our ABL Facility (as defined in Note 7). As part of the share repurchase program, our management has been authorized to establish trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of June 30, 2020, we had $51.9 million remaining under the program.
During the first nine monthshalf of 2020, we repurchased $33.1 million of our Convertible Notes in the open market under the repurchase program for a total cost of $29.1 million. There were 0 Convertible Notes repurchased under the program during 2019.
There were 0 shares of common stock repurchased under the repurchase program during the first half of 2020. During the first half of 2019, we repurchased an aggregate of 2,537,8332,047,014 shares of our common stock under our Board authorized repurchasethe program for a total cost of $19.0$15.5 million. There were 0 shares repurchased under
On May 27, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted a limited duration stockholder rights agreement which expires on May 1, 2021, whereby a dividend distribution of 1 right (each, a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock was paid to holders of record as of the program duringclose of business on June 12, 2020. Each Right entitles the first nine monthsregistered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of 2018. Asa share of September 30, 2019, we had $81.0 million remaining underSeries D Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $12.00, subject to adjustment. Subject to certain exceptions, if a person or group acquires more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, the program.Rights will become exercisable for common stock having a value equal to two times the purchase price.

Note 4 – Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation
During the second quarter of 2019, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan from 9,800,000 to 12,300,000 shares and remove the fungible share counting provision.
During the second quarter of 2019,2020, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved equity-based compensation to executive officers and other key employees consisting of 1,135,216 shares of2,474,377 restricted stock units which will primarily vest in equal installments over a three-yearthree-year period. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019, 3,341,0072020, 1,375,975 shares remained available for award under the 2015 Plan.Employee Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”). In addition, non-employee directors received a grant of 104,900 shares of156,886 restricted stock awards which will vest in full on the earlier of the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value was $7.34$2.06 per share for both the restricted stock units and restricted stock awards.
Also during the second quarter of 2019,2020, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of cash-settledperformance-based cash awards to certain executive officers consisting ofwith a target amount of $2.3 million of performance-based cash awards.$2.6 million. The performance-based cash awards will be settled based on the relative ranking of our total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of our designated peer group over a three-year performance period. The performance period began June 1, 2019May 2, 2020 and ends May 31, 2022,2023, with the ending TSR price being equal to the average closing price of our shares over the 30-calendar days ending May 31, 20222023 and the cash payout for each executive ranging from 0% to 200% of target. The performance-based cash awards are accrued as a liability award over the performance period based on the estimated fair value. The fair value of the performance-based cash awards is remeasured each period using a Monte-Carlo valuation model with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
In February 2019, the Compensation Committee modified our retirement policy applicable to cash and equity awards granted to include our Chief Executive Officer and those officers who report to our Chief Executive Officer, whom were previously excluded from the retirement policy. In addition, the Compensation Committee also modified the retirement policy for certain vested stock options that remain outstanding to extend the exercise period available following the qualifying retirement of eligible employees. As a result of these modifications, we recognized a pretax charge of approximately $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2019. This charge primarily reflects the acceleration of expense, as well as the incremental value associated with modifications to extend the exercise period of outstanding options, for previously-granted awards for retirement eligible executive officers.

We adopted the new accounting guidance for credit losses as of January 1, 2020 (see Note 1 for additional information). To measure expected credit losses, we evaluate our receivables on a collective basis for assets that share similar risk characteristics. Our allowance for credit losses reflects losses that are expected over the contractual life of the asset, and takes into account historical loss experience, current and future economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

2021 Convertible Notes. In December 2016, we issued $100.0 million of unsecured convertible senior notes (“2021 Convertible Notes”) that mature on December 1, 2021, unless earlier converted by the holders pursuant to the terms of the notes.which $66.9 million principal amount was outstanding at June 30, 2020. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
Holders may convert the notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2021, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (regardless of whether consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the notes in effect on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of our common stock on such date multiplied by the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as described in the indenture governing the notes, such as a consolidation, merger, or share exchange.
On or after June 1, 2021 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied. As of October 28, 2019,July 31, 2020, the notes were not convertible.
The notes are convertible into, at our election, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both, subject to satisfaction of specified conditions and during specified periods, as described above. If converted, we currently intend to pay cash for the principal amount of the notes converted. The conversion rate is 107.1381 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $9.33 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may not redeem the notes prior to their maturity date.
In accordance with accounting guidance for convertible debt with a cash conversion option, we separately accounted for the debt and equity components of the notes in a manner that reflected our estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the carrying amount of the debt component was $86.3$60.6 million, which is net of the unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs of $12.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively.$6.3 million. Including the impact of the unamortized debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the notes is approximately 11.3%.
During the first half of 2020, we repurchased $33.1 million of our Convertible Notes in the open market for a total cost of $29.1 million, and recognized a net gain of $0.4 million reflecting the difference in the amount paid and the net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including original issue discount and debt issuance costs.
Asset-Based Loan Facility. In May 2016, we entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement which replaced our previous credit agreement. In October 2017, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in March 2019, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Facility”). The March 2019 amendment increased the amount available for borrowings, reduced applicable borrowing rates, and extended the term. The ABL Facility provides financing of up to $200.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit) and can be increased up to a maximum capacity of $275.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our total availability under the ABL Facility was $171.0$132.9 million, of which $70.2$64.0 million was drawn, resulting in remaining availability of $100.8$68.9 million.
11


The ABL Facility terminates in March 2024; however, the ABL Facility has a springing maturity date that will accelerate the maturity of the ABL Facility to September 1, 2021 if, prior to such date, the 2021 Convertible Notes have not been repurchased, redeemed, refinanced, exchanged or otherwise satisfied in full or we have not escrowed an amount of funds, that together with the amount that we establish as a reserve against our borrowing capacity, is sufficient for the future settlement of the 2021 Convertible Notes at their maturity. The ABL Facility requires compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum unused availability of $25.0 million to utilize borrowings or assignment of availability under the ABL Facility towards funding the repayment of the 2021 Convertible Notes.
Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and limits on such assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by us, the borrowing base calculation also includes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The lender may establish such reserves, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits at its discretion which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the ABL Facility. Availability associated with eligible rental mats will also be subject to maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum level of operating income for the Mats and Integrated Services segment.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin based on either, (1) LIBOR subject to a floor of zero or (2) a base rate equal to the highest of: (a) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR, subject to a floor of zero, plus 100 basis points, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 150 to 200 basis points for LIBOR borrowings, and 50


to 100 basis points for base rate borrowings, based on the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the ABL Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the applicable margin for borrowings under our ABL Facility was 150 basis points with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 50 basis points with respect to base rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Facility was 3.8%1.7% at SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the ABL Facility ranging from 25 to 37.5 basis points, based on the level of outstanding borrowings, as defined in the ABL Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the applicable commitment fee was 37.5 basis points.
The ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation, secured by first liens on substantially all of our U.S. tangible and intangible assets, and a portion of the capital stock of our non-U.S. subsidiaries has also been pledged as collateral. The ABL Facility contains customary operating covenants and certain restrictions including, among other things, the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions, affiliate transactions, stock repurchases and other restricted payments. The ABL Facility also requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio if availability under the ABL Facility falls below $22.5 million. In addition, the ABL Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, a failure to make payments under the facility, acceleration of more than $25.0 million of other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, and certain change of control events.
Other Debt. OurCertain of our foreign subsidiaries in Italy, India, and Canada maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit or overdraft facilities which are generally renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. We had $2.0$6.9 million and $1.1$4.8 million outstanding under these arrangements at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
At SeptemberIn addition, at June 30, 2019,2020, we had $13.1 million in outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds, for which the letters of credit are collateralized by $6.1 million in restricted cash. We also have a performance bond issued and outstanding of $6.0 million related to the appeals process for an ongoing income tax audit for our Mexico subsidiary. Additionally, our foreign operations had $33.0$52.1 million in outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and other guarantees primarily issued under a credit arrangement in Italy as well asfor which certain of the letters of credit that are collateralized by $2.0$7.4 million in restricted cash.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt. We believe the carrying values of these instruments, with the exception of our 2021 Convertible Notes, approximated their fair values at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. The estimated fair value of our 2021 Convertible Notes was $106.2$59.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and $120.9$101.4 million at December 31, 2018,2019, based on quoted market prices at these respective dates.

Note 8 – LeasesIncome Taxes
We lease certain office space, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, land, and equipment. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 10 years with various extension and termination options. We consider these options in determining the lease term used to establish our operating lease assets and liabilities. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are accountedThe benefit for as a single lease component. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Total operating lease expenses were $21.8income taxes was $6.5 million for the first nine monthshalf of 2019,2020, reflecting an effective tax benefit rate of which $14.3 million14%. This result primarily reflects the impact of the geographic composition of our pretax loss, where the tax benefit from losses in the U.S was partially offset by the tax expense related to short-term leases and $7.5 million related to leases recognized in the balance sheet. Total operating lease expenses approximate cash paid during each period. Amortization and interest for finance leases are not material. Operating lease expenses and amortization of leased assets for finance leases are included in either cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expenses. Interest for finance leases is included in interest expense, net.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in March 2020 in the United States. The CARES Act contains several tax provisions, including additional carryback opportunities for net operating losses, temporary increases in the first nine monthsinterest deductibility threshold, and the acceleration of 2018, reflecting an effectiverefunds for any remaining alternative minimum tax rate of 32%. The effective tax rate for(“AMT”) carryforwards. While there was no material impact from the first nine months of 2019 was negatively impacted by the decreaseCARES Act in U.S. earnings, as well as non-deductible expenses, relative to the amount of pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 also included a $1.7 million net benefit related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") as well as $0.8 million in excess tax benefits related to the vesting of certain stock-based compensation awards during the period. Theour provision for income taxes was $3.3 million for the third quarterfirst half of 2019. As a result of a decline in anticipated earnings in2020, we are continuing to evaluate the U.S. for the full year 2019, the third quarter 2019 provision for income taxes includes a $2.0 million charge, primarily reflecting the impact of an increase in the projected full year 2019 tax rate.
We file income tax returns in the United States and several non-U.S. jurisdictions and are subject to examination in the various jurisdictions in which we file. Following an audit in 2015, the treasury authority in Mexico issued a tax assessment (inclusive of interest and penalties) in the amount of 60 million pesos (approximately $3.3 million) to our Mexico subsidiary, primarily in connection with the export of mats from Mexico in 2010. The mats that are the subject of this assessment were owned by a U.S. subsidiary and leased to our Mexico subsidiary for matting projects in the Mexican market. In 2010, we made the decision to move these mats out of Mexico to markets with higher demand. The Mexican treasury authority determined the exportprovisions of the mats was the equivalent of a sale and assessed taxes on the gross declared value of the exported mats to our Mexico subsidiary. We retained outside legal counsel and filed administrative appeals with the treasury authority, but we were notified in April 2018 that the last administrative appeal had been rejected.CARES Act. In response,addition, we filed an appeal in the Mexican Federal Tax Courtamendment to our 2018 U.S. federal income tax return in the second quarter of 2018, which required that we post2020 and received a bondrefund of $0.7 million for AMT carryforwards in July 2020.
The CARES Act also permits most companies to defer paying their portion of certain applicable payroll taxes from the date the CARES Act was signed into law through December 31, 2020. The deferred amount will be due in two equal installments on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The deferred amount of the assessedapplicable payroll taxes (plus additional interest). In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Mexican Federal Tax Court issued a favorable judgment nullifying in full the tax assessment which was subsequently appealed by the treasury authority in Mexico. Following a judgment by the Mexican Court of Appeals, the Mexican Federal Tax Court, in the third quarter of 2019, confirmed the full nullification of the tax assessment based on a due process violation and recognized the treasury authority's right to cure the due process violation by starting a new tax audit. The treasury authority in Mexico is appealing the latest judgment from the Mexican Federal Tax Court. Although the tax appeals process has not concluded, we believe our tax position is properly reported in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations in Mexico and intend to vigorously defend our position through the tax appeals process.$1.3 million at June 30, 2020.
We are also under examination by various tax authorities in other countries, and certain foreign jurisdictions have challenged the amounts of taxes due for certain tax periods. These audits are in various stages of completion. We fully cooperate with all audits, but defend existing positions vigorously. We evaluate the potential exposure associated with various filing positions and record a liability for uncertain tax positions as circumstances warrant. Although we believe all tax positions are reasonable and properly reported in accordance with applicable tax laws and regulations in effect during the periods involved, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals.



Note 109 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions, as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state, and local levels. While the outcome of litigation or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possibleexpect that aany loss resulting from such litigation or other proceedings, in excess of any amounts accrued or covered by insurance, has been incurred that is expected towill have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Kenedy, Texas Drilling Fluids Facility Fire
In July 2018, a fire occurred at our Kenedy, Texas drilling fluids facility, destroying the distribution warehouse, including inventory and surrounding equipment. In addition, nearby residences and businesses were evacuated as part of the response to the fire. In order to avoid any customer service disruptions, we implemented contingency plans to supply products from alternate facilities in the area and region. During the third quarter of 2018 and subsequently,Subsequently, we have received petitions seeking payment for alleged bodily injuries, property damage, and punitive damages claimed to have been incurred as a result of the fire and the subsequent efforts we undertook to remediate any potential smoke damage. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there are open claims remaining with 38 plaintiffs seeking a total of approximately $1.5 million. While no trial date has been set for the matter at this time, we2 plaintiffs. We have been advised by our insurer that these claims are insured under our general liability insurance program. While this event and related claims are covered by our property, business interruption, and general liability insurance programs, these programs contain self-insured retentions, which remain our financial obligations.
During 2018, we incurred fire-related costs of $4.8 million, which included $1.9 million for inventory and property, plant and equipment, $2.1 million in property-related cleanup and other costs, and $0.8 million relating to our self-insured retention for third-party claims. Based on the provisions of our insurance policies and initial insurance claims filed, we estimated $4.0 million in expected insurance recoveries and recognized a charge of $0.8 million in other operating (income) loss, net, in the third quarter of 2018. The insurance receivable balance included in other receivables was $0.3 million as of September 30, 2019, and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2018.programs. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the claims related to the fire under our property, business interruption, and general liability insurance programs have not been finalized.

Note 13 – Subsequent Event
In October 2019, we completedDuring March 2020, oil prices collapsed due to geopolitical events along with the acquisitionworldwide effects of Cleansorb Limited (“Cleansorb”),the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a U.K. based provider of specialty chemicals forrapid decline in customer activity in the oil and natural gas industry,exploration and production (“E&P”) industry. As of June 30, 2020, the U.S. active rig count was 265, reflecting a 66% decline from the first quarter 2020 average level. In response to the deteriorating U.S. land oil and natural gas market, we initiated certain headcount reductions and other cost reduction programs late in the first quarter of 2020, and continued these actions in the second quarter of 2020.
As part of the cost reduction programs, we have reduced our global employee base by approximately 550 (25%) in the first half of 2020. As a result of these workforce reductions, our operating results for the second quarter of 2020 include $2.8 million of total severance costs ($2.6 million in Fluids Systems and $0.2 million in our Corporate office), with $2.0 million in cost of revenues and $0.8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our operating results for the first half of 2020 include $3.5 million of total severance costs ($3.1 million in Fluids Systems and $0.4 million in our Corporate office), with $2.4 million in cost of revenues and $1.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs have been substantially paid as of June 30, 2020.

We recognized $11.9 million of total charges for inventory write-downs, severance costs, and facility exit costs in the second quarter of 2020, with $11.7 million in the Fluids Systems segment and $0.2 million in the Corporate office. We recognized $13.3 million of total charges for inventory write-downs, severance costs, and facility exit costs in the first half of 2020, with $12.9 million in the Fluids Systems segment and $0.4 million in the Corporate office.

We also made the decision in late 2019 to wind down our Brazil operations. At June 30, 2020, we had $11.8 million of accumulated translation losses related to our subsidiary in Brazil. As such, we will reclassify these losses and recognize a charge to income at such time when we have substantially liquidated our subsidiary in Brazil.
As of June 30, 2020, our consolidated balance sheet includes $42.1 million of goodwill, all of which relates to the Mats and Integrated Services segment. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of November 1, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exists. In March 2020, primarily as a result of the collapse in oil prices and the expected declines in the U.S. land E&P markets, along with a significant decline in the quoted market prices of our common stock, we considered these developments to be a potential indicator of impairment that required us to complete an interim goodwill impairment evaluation. As such, in March 2020, we estimated the fair value of our Mats and Integrated Services reporting unit based on our current forecasts and expectations for market conditions and determined that even though the estimated fair value had decreased, the fair value remained substantially in excess of its net carrying value, and therefore, no impairment was required. During the second quarter of 2020, we determined that there were no further expandsindicators of events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.
As of June 30, 2020, our fluids technology portfolioconsolidated balance sheet also includes $297.2 million of property, plant and capabilities. The purchase priceequipment, net, and $26.4 million of finite-lived intangible assets, net, which combined includes $167.0 million in the Fluids Systems segment and $145.8 million in the Mats and Integrated Services segment. We review property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and certain other assets for this acquisitionimpairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability based on expected undiscounted future net cash flows. Due to the changes in market conditions, we have reviewed these assets for impairment during the first half of 2020 and determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value, and therefore, no impairment was $18.7 million, net of cash acquired, and was funded with borrowings under the ABL Facility.

ITEM 2.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Our thirdsecond quarter represents the three-monththree month period ended SeptemberJune 30 and our first nine monthshalf represents the nine-monthsix month period ended SeptemberJune 30. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The reference to a “Note” herein refers to the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 “Financial Statements.”
Overview
We are a geographically diversified supplier providing products, as well as rentals and servicesservices. We operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systems, which primarily toserves the oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) industry. We operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systemsindustry, and Mats and Integrated Services. In addition to the E&P industry, our Mats and Integrated Services, segmentwhich serves a variety of industries, including theE&P, electrical transmission & distribution, pipeline, solar,renewable energy, petrochemical, and construction industries.
Our operating results, particularly for the Fluids Systems segment, depend to a large extent, on oil and natural gas drilling activity levels in the markets we serve and particularly for the Fluids Systems segment, the nature of the drilling operations (including the depth and whether the wells are drilled vertically or horizontally), which governs the revenue potential of each well. Drilling activity levels, in turn, depend on a variety of factors, including oil and natural gas commodity pricing, inventory levels, product demand, and regulatory restrictions. Oil and natural gas prices and activity are cyclical and volatile, and this market volatility has a significant impact on our operating results.
While our revenue potential is driven by a number of factors including those described above, rig count data remains the most widely accepted indicator of drilling activity. Average North American rig count data for the thirdsecond quarter and first nine monthshalf of 20192020 as compared to the same periods of 20182019 is as follows:

During 2019, U.S. rig counts steadily declined, exiting the year at 805 active rigs, a 26% decline from the end of 2018. During March 2020, oil prices collapsed due to geopolitical events along with the worldwide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, average U.S. rig counts in the second quarter of 2020 declined 50% from the first quarter of 2020 average level. The pace of decline in the U.S. land market rig count has decreased in recent weeks, with the U.S. active rig count at 251 as of July 31, 2020. The Canada active rig count reflects both the current weakness in oil prices as well as normal seasonality for this market, with the highest rig count levels generally observed in the first quarter of each year, prior to Spring break-up. We anticipate that market activity may begin to improve from current levels through the remainder of 2020, although the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and an uncertain economic environment that will likely persist through the remainder of 2020 make the timing and pace of recovery difficult to predict.
Outside of North America, drilling activity is generally more stable as drilling activity in many countries is based on longer-term economic projections and multi-year drilling programs, which tends to reduce the impact of short-term changes in commodity prices on overall drilling activity. However, operations in several countries in the EMEA region experienced activity disruptions and project delays beginning in March 2020 which continued throughout the second quarter of 2020, driven by government-imposed restrictions on movements of personnel, quarantines of staffing, and logistical limitations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently expect these disruptions and project delays will continue to impact international activity levels into the fourth quarter of 2020 before beginning to gradually recover late in 2020 and into early 2021, although the

Our Fluids Systems segment, which generated 77%impact from the duration and magnitude of consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2019, provides customized fluids solutionsongoing health pandemic and related government responses are very difficult to E&P customers globally, operating through four geographic regions: North America, Europe,predict.
In response to the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific, and Latin America. International expansion, including the penetration of international oil companies (“IOCs”) and national oil companies (“NOCs”), is a key element of our Fluids Systems strategy, which has historically helped to stabilize segment revenues as North Americandeteriorating U.S. land oil and natural gas exploration activities have fluctuated significantly. Revenues from IOCmarket and NOC customers represent approximately one-thirdreduced demand for our products and services as a result of Fluids Systems segment revenues for the first nine monthsdecline in oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, we initiated a number of 2019 and 2018. Significant international contract awards with recent developments include:
In Kuwait, we provide drilling and completion fluids and related services for land operations under a multi-year contract with Kuwait Oil Company (“KOC”), which began in 2014. Following a tender process with KOC, we have received two new contract awards to provide drilling and completion fluids, along with related services, covering a five-year term which beganactions late in the first quarter of 2019. 2020 aimed at conserving cash and protecting our liquidity, and continued these actions in the second quarter of 2020, including:
The initial revenue valueimplementation of cost reduction programs, including workforce reductions, employee furloughs, the suspension of the combined awards is

The transitionU.S. employees, including a 15% cut to the new contracts resulted in recent fluctuations in revenues, with first nine months of 2019 revenues reflecting a $5 million decline fromsalaries paid to executive officers and the first nine months of 2018. However, based on the customer plans currently in place, we expect the revenue levelsannual cash retainers paid to all non-employee members of the new awardsBoard of Directors;
The initiation of additional actions to increase and eventually surpassfurther reduce the levels achieved on the previous contract.
In Algeria, we provide drilling and completion fluids and related services to Sonatrach under a multi-year contract. Work under Lot 1 and Lot 3 of a three-year contract awarded in 2015 (“2015 Contract”) was completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. During 2018, Sonatrach initiated a new tender (“2018 Tender”), for a three-year term succeeding the 2015 Contract. For the 2018 Tender, Sonatrach adopted a change in its procurement process, limiting the number of Lots that could be awarded to major service providers, which consequently reduced the potential revenueoperational footprint of the 2018 Tender as comparedFluids Systems business in U.S. land, to the 2015 Contract. Based upon the new contract awarded under the 2018 Tender, we expect that revenue from Sonatrach will be approximately $125 million over the three-year term, which would resultbetter align our cost structure with expected declines in a reductionmarket activity levels; and
The elimination of approximately $25 million per year as compared to the prior activity levels. Consequently, with the transition to the new contract that began in late 2018, first nine months of 2019 revenues reflect a $17 million decline from the first nine months of 2018.all non-critical capital investments.
In Australia, we provided drilling and completion fluids and related services under a contract with Baker Hughes Company, asAs part of its integrated service offering in support of the Greater Enfield project in offshore Western Australia. Work under this contract began in the first quarter of 2018 and was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2019.
In Brazil,cost reduction programs, we provided drilling fluids and related services under a multi-year contract with Petrobras for both onshore and offshore locations. Work under this contract beganhave reduced our global employee base by approximately 550 (25%) in the first half of 20092020.
We recognized $13.3 million of charges for inventory write-downs, severance costs, and concluded in December 2018. For the first nine months of 2018, our Brazilian subsidiary generated revenues of $19 million, substantially all of which related to the Petrobras contract. Despite the completion of the Petrobras contract, we are maintaining infrastructure in the Brazilian market to support our efforts to penetrate the offshore IOC market.
Our Fluids Systems business was also successful in securing three international tender awards during the third quarter of 2019. These include a new three-year contract for combined drilling and completion fluids with ENI to support their offshore drilling campaign in Cyprus and a two-year contract with PTT Exploration and Production in Algeria. Both of these contracts are expected to beginfacility exit costs in the first half of 2020, and combined, generate additional revenues of $15with $12.9 million to $20 million per year. In addition, we were awarded a new five-year contract with OMV Petrom, which extends our on-going work providing drilling and completion fluids to this customer in Romania. While we expect the total revenue under the new OMV Petrom contract to be relatively in-line with the current contract, annual revenues may fluctuate with changes in the customer’s drilling program.
In addition to our international expansion efforts, we are also expanding our presence in North America, capitalizing on our capabilities, infrastructure, and strong market position in the North American land drilling fluids markets to expand our drilling fluids presence within the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, as well as our presence in adjacent product offerings, including completion fluids and stimulation chemicals. To support this effort, we have incurred start-up costs, including costs associated with additional personnel and facility-related expenses, and have made additional capital investments. Revenues from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico increased to $27 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $8 million for the first nine months of 2018.
In October 2019, we completed the acquisition of Cleansorb Limited (“Cleansorb”), a U.K. based provider of specialty chemicals for the oil and natural gas industry, which further expands our fluids technology portfolio and capabilities. The purchase price for this acquisition was $18.7 million, net of cash acquired.
Our Mats and Integrated Services segment, which generated 23% of consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2019, provides composite mat rentals utilized for temporary worksite access, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including E&P, electrical transmission & distribution, pipeline, solar, petrochemical, and construction industries across North America and Europe. We also sell composite mats to customers around the world. The expansion of our rental and service activities into non-E&P markets represents a strategic priority for us due to the magnitude of this market growth opportunity, as well as the market’s relative stability compared to E&P. The Mats and Integrated Services segment rental and service revenues from non-E&P markets increased to approximately $50 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to approximately $45 million for the first nine months of 2018. Product sales revenues largely reflect sales to non-E&P and international E&P markets, and typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer orders.

Selling, generalseverance costs, and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.8 million to $27.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $29.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. The third quarter of 2018 included a corporate office charge of $1.8 million associated with the retirement and transition of our former Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer. The remaining decrease was primarily driven by lower performance-based incentive compensation partially offset by higher professional fees primarily related to the Cleansorb acquisition and our long-term strategic planning project. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 13.3% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 12.7% for the third quarter of 2018.
Other operating loss, net
Other operating loss for the third quarter of 2018 primarily relates to the July 2018 fire at our Kenedy, Texas drilling fluids facility (see Note 10 for additional information).
Foreign currency exchange
Foreign currency exchange was a $0.8 million loss for the third quarter of 2019 compared to a $0.1 million gain for the third quarter of 2018,in facility closures and reflects the impact of currency translation on assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies.

North America revenues decreased 14% to $106.2 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $124.0 million for the third quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower customer drilling activity in North America land markets, as reflected by the 17% decline in average rig count. This decrease was partially offset by market share gains in the offshore Gulf of Mexico market, as well as an increase in footage drilled per rig due to improvements in customer drilling efficiency in the U.S. land markets.
Internationally, revenues decreased 19% to $46.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $57.0 million for the third quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to declines related to the contract transitions described above in Algeria and Brazil.


Operating income
The Fluids Systems segment generated operating income of $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to operating income of $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2018. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 included a total of $2.5 million of charges associated with severance costs related to workforce reductions in connection with the completion of the contract with Petrobras in Brazil, the Kenedy, Texas facility fire, and expenses related to the conversion of a drilling fluids facility into a completion fluids facility. Excluding these charges, the decrease in operating income includes a $3.3 million decline from North American operations and a $1.6 million decline from international operations. This decline in operating income is primarily attributable to the decreases in revenues described above.
While we have taken certain actions to reduce our workforce and cost structure, as activity levels have declined, our business contains high levels of fixed costs, including significant facility and personnel expenses. We continue to evaluate under-performing areas as well as opportunities to further enable a more efficient and scalable cost structure. In the absence of a longer-term increase in activity levels, we may incur future charges related to further cost reduction efforts or potential asset impairments, which may negatively impact our future results.
Segment Overview
Our Fluids Systems segment, which generated 78% of consolidated revenues for the first half of 2020, provides customized drilling, completion, and stimulation fluids solutions to E&P customers primarily in North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific and Latin America. International expansion, including the penetration of international oil companies (“IOCs”) and national oil companies (“NOCs”), is a key element of our Fluids Systems strategy, which has historically helped to stabilize segment revenues while North American oil and natural gas exploration activities have fluctuated significantly. Revenues from IOC and NOC customers represented approximately 44% of Fluids Systems segment revenues for the first half of 2020 compared to approximately 29% for the first half of 2019.
In addition to our international expansion efforts, we have also expanded our presence in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, capitalizing on our capabilities, infrastructure, and strong market position, as well as through product line extensions into adjacent product offerings, including completion fluids. Revenues for drilling and completion fluids from offshore Gulf of Mexico increased to $30 million for the first half of 2020 compared to $22 million for the first half of 2019.
In response to the increasing market demand for cleaning products following the COVID-19 pandemic, we began leveraging our chemical blending capacity and technical expertise to begin producing a variety of disinfectants and cleaning products in the second quarter of 2020. While not significant, we began supplying our first customer order in the second quarter and continue to work with several other potential customers with plans to ramp up production over the next several months.

Product sales revenues largely reflect sales to utility customers and other non-E&P markets, and typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer orders. Including product sales, total revenues from non-E&P markets represented approximately 64% of total segment revenues for the first half of 2020 compared to approximately 45% of total segment revenues for the first half of 2019. During the first half of 2020, our business was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as customers delayed sales orders and project timing citing COVID-related market uncertainty, permitting delays, and logistical restrictions. As a result, we are reducing our mat production levels for the remainder of 2020 to reduce current inventory levels, which may negatively impact our future results due to the high level of fixed costs in our manufacturing operations. We currently expect that increased activity for both rental projects and product sales remains highly dependent on our customers gaining confidence in the broader economic recovery. While customer quoting activity has improved from the lull seen during the second quarter of 2018, primarily attributable2020, the ongoing impact of these uncertainties, permitting delays, and logistical restrictions are difficult to the change in revenues as described above.predict.

Gain on extinguishment of debt
The $1.3 million gain for the second quarter of 2020 reflects the difference in the amount paid and the net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including original issue discount and debt issuance costs, related to the repurchase of $18.6 million of our Convertible Notes in the open market for $15.3 million.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes
The benefit for income taxes was $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, reflecting an effective tax benefit rate of 20%. This result primarily reflects the impact of the geographic composition of our pretax loss, where the tax benefit from losses in the U.S was partially offset by the tax expense related to earnings from our international operations. The provision for income taxes was $7.2$2.1 million for the first nine monthssecond quarter of 2019, reflecting an effective tax rate of 63%, compared to $10.1 million for the first nine months of 2018, reflecting an effective tax rate of 32%33%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was negatively impacted by the decrease in U.S. earnings, as well as non-deductible expenses, relative to the amount of pre-tax income.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we made the decision to wind down our Brazil operations. We may incur operating losses and asset write-downs as we wind down these operations. In addition, at June 30, 2020, we had $11.8 million of accumulated translation losses related to our subsidiary in Brazil, that are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Accounting guidance requires that we reclassify these accumulated translation losses and recognize a charge to income at such time when we have substantially liquidated the assets of our subsidiary in Brazil.

We have taken a number of actions aimed at conserving cash on handand protecting our liquidity, including workforce and salary reductions, elimination of $53.7 million, substantially all of which resides withinnon-critical capital expenditures, as well as actions to reduce our international subsidiaries. Following the enactment of the Tax Act in 2018, we began repatriating excess cash from certain of our international subsidiariesoperational footprint to match current and we intendanticipated activity levels by operating region. We currently expect total 2020 capital expenditures to continue repatriating excess cash from these international subsidiaries, subject to cash requirements to support the strategic objectives of these international subsidiaries. In October 2019, we repatriatedbe approximately $15 million from our international subsidiaries, which was used to repay borrowings under the ABL Facility.
In October 2019, we completed the acquisition of Cleansorb, a U.K. based provider of specialty chemicals for the oil and natural gas industry, which further expands our fluids technology portfolio and capabilities. The purchase price for this acquisition was $18.7 million, net of cash acquired, and was funded with borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Availability under our ABL Facility also provides additional liquidity as discussed further below. Total availability under the ABL Facility will fluctuate directionally based on the level of eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet. As of August 3, 2020, our total availability under the ABL Facility was $113.3 million, of which $60.8 million was drawn, resulting in remaining availability of $52.5 million.
While substantially all our $42.9 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2020 resides in our international subsidiaries, we expect to continue to repatriate excess cash from these international subsidiaries, subject to exchange or cash controls and the cash requirements to support the strategic objectives of these international subsidiaries. We expect our available cash on-hand, cash generated by operations, including reductions in working capital, and remaining availability under our ABL Facility to be adequate to fund current operations during the next 12 months. We continue to evaluate access to capital and other sources of additional liquidity to support our longer-term liquidity options. In addition, we may continue to purchase our common stock or Convertible Notes under our existing repurchase program from time to time.

The conversion rate is 107.1381 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $9.33 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We may not redeem the notes prior to their maturity date.
During the first half of 2020, we repurchased $33.1 million of our Convertible Notes in the open market for a total cost of $29.1 million, and recognized a net gain of $0.4 million reflecting the difference in the amount paid and the net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including original issue discount and debt issuance costs.
Asset-Based Loan Facility. In May 2016, we entered into an asset-based revolving credit agreement which replaced our previous credit agreement. In October 2017, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and in March 2019, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Facility”). The March 2019 amendment increased the amount available for borrowings, reduced applicable borrowing rates, and extended the term. The ABL Facility provides financing of up to $200.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit) and can be increased up to a maximum capacity of $275.0 million, subject to certain conditions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our total availability under the ABL Facility was $171.0$132.9 million, of which $70.2$64.0 million was drawn, resulting in remaining availability of $100.8$68.9 million.
The ABL Facility terminates in March 2024; however, the ABL Facility has a springing maturity date that will accelerate the maturity of the ABL Facility to September 1, 2021 if, prior to such date, the 2021 Convertible Notes have not been repurchased, redeemed, refinanced, exchanged or otherwise satisfied in full or we have not escrowed an amount of funds, that together with the amount that we establish as a reserve against our borrowing capacity, is sufficient for the future settlement of the 2021 Convertible Notes at their maturity. The ABL Facility requires compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum unused availability of $25.0 million to utilize borrowings or assignment of availability under the ABL Facility towards funding the repayment of the 2021 Convertible Notes.
Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants as described below, composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and limits on such assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by us, the borrowing base calculation also includes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The lender may establish such reserves, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits at its discretion which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the ABL Facility. Availability associated with eligible rental mats will also be subject to maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum level of operating income for the Mats and Integrated Services segment. As of August 3, 2020, our total availability under the ABL Facility included $25.4 million from eligible rental mats. We may not be able to maintain the minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020 that is required to continue including eligible rental mats in the borrowing availability under the ABL Facility. While this does not represent a default, it would reduce the borrowing availability under the ABL Facility. As such, we have initiated discussions with our lead bank in an effort to explore our options, which may include a waiver or amendment to our ABL Facility. Any waiver or amendment to the ABL Facility, if required, may increase the cost of our borrowings and impose additional limitations over certain types of activities, and we can give no assurance that we will be able to obtain such amendment or waiver on favorable terms or at all.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin based on either, (1) LIBOR subject to a floor of zero or (2) a base rate equal to the highest of: (a) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR, subject to a floor of zero, plus 100 basis points, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 150 to 200 basis points for LIBOR borrowings, and 50 to 100 basis points for base rate borrowings, based on the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio as defined in the ABL Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the applicable margin for borrowings under our ABL Facility was 150 basis points with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 50 basis points with respect to base rate borrowings. The weighted average interest rate for the ABL Facility was 3.8%1.7% at SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the ABL Facility ranging from 25 to 37.5 basis points, based on the level of outstanding borrowings, as defined in the ABL Facility. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the applicable commitment fee was 37.5 basis points.

The ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation, secured by first liens on substantially all of our U.S. tangible and intangible assets, and a portion of the capital stock of our non-U.S. subsidiaries has also been pledged as collateral. The ABL Facility contains customary operating covenants and certain restrictions including, among other things, the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions, affiliate transactions, stock repurchases and other restricted payments. The ABL Facility also requires compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio if availability under the ABL Facility falls below $22.5 million. In addition, the ABL Facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, a failure to make payments under the facility, acceleration of more than $25.0 million of other indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, and certain change of control events.
Other Debt. OurCertain of our foreign subsidiaries in Italy, India, and Canada maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit or overdraft facilities which are generally renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. We had $2.0$6.9 million and $1.1$4.8 million outstanding under these arrangements at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.


At SeptemberIn addition, at June 30, 2019,2020, we had $13.1 million in outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds, for which the letters of credit are collateralized by $6.1 million in restricted cash. We also have a performance bond issued and outstanding of $6.0 million related to the appeals process for an ongoing income tax audit for our Mexico subsidiary. Additionally, our foreign operations had $33.0$52.1 million in outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and other guarantees primarily issued under a credit arrangement in Italy as well asfor which certain of the letters of credit that are collateralized by $2.0$7.4 million in restricted cash.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements include the following: allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for self-insured retention under insurance programs, estimated performance and values associated with employee incentive programs, fair values used for impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.
As of June 30, 2020, our consolidated balance sheet includes $42.1 million of goodwill, all of which relates to the Mats and Integrated Services segment. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of November 1, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exists. In March 2020, primarily as a result of the collapse in oil prices and the expected declines in the U.S. land E&P markets, along with a significant decline in the quoted market prices of our common stock, we considered these developments to be a potential indicator of impairment that required us to complete an interim goodwill impairment evaluation. As such, in March 2020, we estimated the fair value of our Mats and Integrated Services reporting unit based on our current forecasts and expectations for market conditions and determined that even though the estimated fair value had decreased, the fair value remained substantially in excess of its net carrying value, and therefore, no impairment was required. During the second quarter of 2020, we determined that there were no further indicators of events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.
In addition, we review property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and certain other assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability based on expected undiscounted future net cash flows. Due to the changes in market conditions, we have reviewed these assets for impairment during the first half of 2020 and determined that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value, and therefore, no impairment was required.
For additional discussion of our critical accounting estimates and policies, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not materially changed since December 31, 2018.

ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below.
Interest Rate Risk
At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had total principal amounts outstanding under financing arrangements of $176.1$142.1 million, including $100.0$66.9 million of borrowings under our 2021 Convertible Notes which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% and $70.2$64.0 million of borrowings under our ABL Facility. Borrowings under our ABL Facility are subject to a variable interest rate as determined by the ABL Facility. The weighted average interest rate at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 for the ABL Facility was 3.8%1.7%. Based on the balance of variable rate debt at SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, a 100 basis-point increase in short-term interest rates would have increased annual pre-tax interest expense by $0.7$0.6 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our principal foreign operations are conducted in certain areas of EMEA, Canada, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, and Canada.America. We have foreign currency exchange risks associated with these operations, which are conducted principally in the foreign currency of the jurisdictions in which we operate including European euros, Algerian dinar, Romanian new leu, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Australian dollars, and Brazilian reais. Historically, we have not used off-balance sheet financial hedging instruments to manage foreign currency risks when we enter into a transaction denominated in a currency other than our local currencies.
