NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Organization


We are a geographically diversified oil and gas services company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, water management, frac flowback, production well testing and offshore rig cooling services, and compression services and equipment. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981. Following the acquisition and disposition transactions that closed during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, we reorganized our reporting segments andWe are now composed of three3 divisions – Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Compression. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.


Presentation


Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.2019.


We consolidate the financial statements of CSI Compressco LP and its subsidiaries ("CCLP") as part of our Compression Division, as we determined that CCLP is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. We control the financial interests of CCLP and have the ability to direct the activities of CCLP that most significantly impact its economic performance through our ownership of its general partner. The share of CCLP net assets and earnings that is not owned by us is presented as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. Our cash flows from our investment in CCLP are limited to the quarterly distributions we receive on our CCLP common units and general partner interest (including incentive distribution rights) and the amounts collected for services we perform on behalf of CCLP, as TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure are separate, and do not include cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, whichwe filed with the SEC on March 5, 2018.4, 2019.


Significant Accounting Policies

We have added policies for the recording of leases in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease standard discussed in our "Leases" and "New Accounting Pronouncements" sections below. Other than the additional lease policies described herein, there have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application of these policies.

Use of Estimates
 
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 and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and impairments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could bematerial.


ReclassificationsImpairments and Other Charges

Certain previously reported financial information has been reclassifiedDuring the second quarter of 2019, our Compression Division recorded impairments of $2.3 million on certain units of its low-horsepower compression fleet, reflecting the decision to conformdispose of these units upon management's determination that refurbishing this equipment was not economic given limited current and forecasted demand for such equipment. A recoverability analysis was performed on the remaining low-horsepower fleet and it was concluded that the remaining fleet was recoverable from estimated future cash flows. During the third quarter of 2019, we recorded a charge of $0.8 million for the carrying value of a compressor unit that was written off due to being destroyed by fire.

Goodwill

Our Water & Flowback Services Division consists of 2 reporting units, Production Testing and Water Management. During the third quarter of 2019, as part of our internal long-term outlook for each of these reporting units, we updated our assessment of the Water Management reporting unit and determined that the current decreased energy industry outlook was an indicator requiring further analysis for impairment of goodwill. As part of the first step of goodwill impairment testing for our Water Management reporting unit, the only reporting unit with goodwill as of September 30, 2019, we updated our assessment of the future cash flows, applying expected long-term growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values that we consider reasonable for the reporting unit. We calculated a present value of the cash flows for the Water Management reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Based on these assumptions, we determined that the fair value of the Water Management reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, which includes approximately $25.8 million of goodwill, by approximately 17%. Specific uncertainties affecting the estimated fair value of our Water Management reporting unit includes the impact of competition, prices of oil and natural gas, and future overall activity levels in the regions in which it operates, the activity levels of our significant customers, and other factors affecting the rate of future growth of this reporting unit. These factors will continue to be reviewed and assessed going forward. Negative developments with regard to these factors could have a further negative effect on the fair value of the Water Management reporting unit.

Leases

As a lessee, unless the lease meets the criteria of short-term and is excluded per our policy election described below, we initially recognize a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the commencement date. The right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset and the lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments to the current period’s presentation. Forlessor over the lease term.    

Long-term operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and other, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. Long-term finance leases are not material. We determine whether a discussioncontract is or contains a lease at inception of the reclassification ofcontract. Where we are a lessee in a contract that includes an option to extend or terminate the financial presentation oflease, we include the extension period or exclude the period covered by the termination option in our Offshore Division as discontinued operations, see Note E - "Discontinued Operations."lease term, if it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the option.


Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid cash investmentsAs an accounting policy election, we do not include short-term leases on our balance sheet. Short-term leases include leases with a maturityterm of three12 months or less, when purchasedinclusive of renewal options we are reasonably certain to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is classifiedexercise. The lease payments for short-term leases are included as operating lease costs on a current asset when it is expected to be repaid or settledstraight-line basis over the lease term in the next twelve month period.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Except for work in progress inventory, cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of workrevenues or general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset. We recognize lease costs for variable lease payments not included in progress is determined using the specific identification method.

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
Impairments of long-lived assets, including identified intangible assets, are determined periodically when indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of a lease liability in the amount of impairmentperiod in which an obligation is incurred.

As allowed by U.S. GAAP, we do not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component for our compression services contracts and instead account for those components as a single component based on the accounting treatment of the predominant component. In our judgments asevaluation of whether Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" or ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" is applicable to the future undiscounted operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout theirremainingestimated useful lives. If these undiscounted cash flows are less thancombined component based on the carrying amountpredominant component, we determined the services nonlease component is predominant, resulting in the ongoing recognition of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value.our compression services contracts following ASC 606.


DuringOur operating and finance leases are recognized at the three month period ended September 30, 2018, as a resultpresent value of decreased expected future cash flows from a specific customer contract,lease payments over the lease term. When the implicit discount rate is not readily determinable, we recorded ause our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments. Consistent with other long-lived assets or asset groups that are held and used, we test for impairment of $2.9 million of an identified intangible asset.our right-of-use assets when impairment indicators are present.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
We have designated the euro, the British pound, the Norwegian krone, the Canadian dollar, theBrazilian real, and theMexican peso as the functional currencies for our operations in Finland and Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, Brazil, and certain of our operations in Mexico, respectively. The U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency for all of our other foreign operations. The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component ofequity. Foreign currency exchange (gains) and losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $0.4$(1.7) millionand $0.1$(2.2) millionduring the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20182019, respectively, and $0.3$(0.1) million and $1.5$(0.4) million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

On June 30, 2018, we determined the economy in Argentina to be highly inflationary. As a result of this determination and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, on July 1, 2018, the functional currency of our operations in Argentina was changed from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar. The remeasurement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes

Our consolidated provision for income taxes is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the three month periodmonths ended September 30, 2018, was 0.7%. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 of negative 8.2% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.respectively.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Reform Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts. We will continue to make and refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in 2018 as provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

("SAB 118"). We recognized an income tax expense of $54.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 associated with the impact of the Tax Reform Act, which was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance previously recorded on our net deferred tax assets. As such, the Tax Reform Act resulted in no net tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. We have considered in our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018, the impact of the statutory changes enacted by the Tax Reform Act, including reasonable estimates of those provisions effective for the 2018 tax year. Our estimate on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”), Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”), and IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation do not impact our effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We operate facilities in various U.S. and foreign locations that are used in the manufacture, storage, and sale of our products, inventories, and equipment. These facilities are a combination of owned and leased assets. We are required to take certain actions in connection with the retirement of these assets. The values of our asset retirement obligations for these properties were $12.0 million and $11.7 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Asset retirement obligations are recorded in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 410, "Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations," whereby the estimated fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations is recognized in the period in which it is incurred and in which a reasonable estimate can be made. Such estimates are based on relevant assumptions that we believe are reasonable. We have reviewed our obligations in this regard in detail and estimated the cost of these actions. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the assets.

The changes in the values of our asset retirement obligations during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2018, are as follows:
 Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Ending balance$12,014
 $12,014

We review the adequacy of our asset retirement obligation liabilities whenever indicators suggest that the estimated cash flows underlying the liabilities have changed.
Fair Value Measurements
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are utilized on a recurring basis in the determination of the carrying values of the liabilities for the warrants to purchase 11.2 million shares of our common stock (the "Warrants") and the CCLP Preferred Units (as defined in Note G). We also utilize fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the accounting for our foreign currency derivative contracts. Refer to Note H - "Fair Value Measurements" for further discussion.

Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, such as in the allocation of purchase consideration for acquisition transactions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets and goodwill (a Level 3 fair value measurement), the initial recording of our asset retirement obligations, and for the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill (a Level 3 fair value measurement).


New Accounting Pronouncements


Standards adopted in 20182019


In May 2014,February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, under either full or modified retrospective adoption.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 and all related amendments ("ASU 2014-09"). We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also provides a five-step model for determining revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASU 2014-09, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For a complete discussion of accounting for revenues, see Note L - "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
The impact from the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to our January 1, 2018 consolidated balance sheet, our September 30, 2018 consolidated balance sheet, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 was immaterial. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no impact to cash provided by operating, financing, or investing activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We do not expect the adoption of the new revenue standard to have a material impact to our net income on an ongoing basis.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" to reduce diversity in practice in classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a retrospective transition adoption. We adopted this ASU during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, with no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We adopted this ASU during the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this ASU during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, resulting in restricted cash, if any, being classified with cash and cash equivalents in our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting" to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. We adopted this ASU during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, with no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" to increase comparability and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet related to the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.In addition, through improved disclosure requirements, the ASUASC 842 will enable users of financial statements to further understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. In July 2018,standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, specifically, the FASB provided an additionalreporting of our operating leases. The impact in the reporting of our finance leases was insignificant.

We chose to transition method allowingusing a modified retrospective approach which allows for the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. We plan to adopt Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method. Comparative information will continue to beis reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. In addition, upon transition, we elected the package of practical expedients, which allows us to continue to apply historical lease classifications to existing contracts. Upon adoption, we recognized $60.6 million in operating right-of-use assets, $12.0 million in accrued liabilities and other, and $50.7 million in operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we also recognized a $2.8 million cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings, primarily as a result of a deferred gain from a previous sale and leaseback transaction on our corporate headquarters facility that was accounted for as an operating lease. Refer to Note K - “Leases” for further information on our leases.    

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" that gives entities the option to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This was effective for us on January 1, 2019, however, as we do not have associated tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income, there was no impact.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” to align the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance currently applied to employees, with certain exceptions. We adopted this ASU during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments not accounted for at fair value through net income. The provisions require credit impairments to be measured over the contractual life of an asset and developed with consideration for past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic information. Credit impairment will be accounted for as an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis at each reporting date. We are continuing to assess other transition practical expedients available to us. We are currentlywork through our implementation plan which includes evaluating our portfolio of real estate, vehicle, and equipment leases for consideration of the accounting impact. Lease data is being loaded into a software solution that will assist in the calculation of the impact on the consolidated balance sheetour

allowance for doubtful accounts methodology, identifying new reporting requirements, and facilitate the creation of disclosures. We are concurrently evaluatingimplementing changes to business processes, systems, and developing internal policies necessarycontrols to implement the standard. Based on our preliminary assessment, uponsupport adoption of the standard. Upon adoption, the allowance for doubtful accounts is expected to increase with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. Updates at each reporting date after initial adoption will be recorded through selling, general, and administrative expense. ASU we will record significant right-to-use assets and lease obligations pursuant2016-13 has an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We continue to assess the new requirements.potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a prospective adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In JuneAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” to alignCustomer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract."

For thethree and nine month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and nine month period ended September 30, 2017,2018, the average diluted shares outstanding excludes the impact of all outstanding equity awards and warrants, as the inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses recorded during the periods. In addition, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and September 30, 2017,2018, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the CCLPCSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units (as defined in Note G)(the "CCLP Preferred Units"), as the inclusion of the impact from conversion of the CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE D – ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services

On February 28, 2018, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated February 13, 2018 (the "SwiftWater Purchase Agreement"), we purchased all of the equity interests in SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater"), which is engaged in the business of providing water management and water solutions to oil and gas operators in the Permian Basin market of Texas. Strategically, the acquisition of SwiftWater enhances our position as one of the leading integrated water management companies, providing water transfer, storage, and treatment services, along with proprietary automation technology and numerous other water-related services.

Under the terms of the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement, consideration of $42.0 million of cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and 7,772,021 shares of our common stock (valued at $28.2 million) were paid at closing. Subsequent to closing, in August 2018, a working capital adjustment of approximately $1.0 million was paid. The sellers will also have the right to receive contingent consideration payments, in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million, calculated on EBITDA and revenue (each as defined in the SwiftWater Purchase Agreement) of the water management business of SwiftWater and all of our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin in respect of the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The contingent consideration may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, at our election.

As of September 30, 2018, our allocation of the SwiftWater purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

Current assets$16,880
Property and equipment11,631
Intangible assets41,960
Goodwill15,560
Total assets acquired86,031
  
Current liabilities7,189
Total liabilities assumed7,189
Net assets acquired$78,842

The above allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities considers approximately $7.6 million of the initial estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase

price consideration. The fair value of the obligation to pay the contingent purchase price consideration was calculated based on the anticipated EBITDA and revenue as of the closing date for the operations of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin and could increase (to $15.0 million) or decrease (to $0) depending on the actual earnings from these operations going forward. Increases or decreases in the value of the anticipated contingent purchase price consideration liability due to changes in the amounts paid or expected to be paid will be charged or credited to earnings in the period in which such changes occur. During the period from the closing date to September 30, 2018, the estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration increased to $11.3 million, resulting in $(0.6) million and $3.7 million being (credited) charged to other (income) expense, net, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

The allocation of the purchase price to the SwiftWater net tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, as well as the initial estimated fair value for the liabilities associated with the contingent purchase price consideration, as of February 28, 2018, is final and adjustments to the purchase price allocation have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018. The allocation of purchase price includes approximately $15.6 million of deductible goodwill allocated to our Water & Flowback Services segment, and is supported by the strategic benefits discussed above and expected to be generated from the acquisition. The acquired property and equipment is stated at fair value, and depreciation on the acquired property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Machinery and equipment is depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 15 years and automobiles and trucks are depreciated using useful lives of 3 to 4 years. The acquired intangible assets include $3.3 million for the trademark/tradename, $37.2 million for customer relationships, and $1.5 million of other intangible assets that are stated at estimated fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 16 years. These identified intangible assets are recorded net of $1.7 million of accumulated amortization as of September 30, 2018.

Subsequent to the February 28, 2018 acquisition closing date, we have continued to integrate the acquired SwiftWater operations into our existing Water & Flowback Services Division in the Permian Basin in order to better serve our customers through seamless combined service offerings. With the addition of SwiftWater services, such as water treatment, we are now able to offer integrated water management services to both TETRA and SwiftWater customers that would have not been possible prior to the acquisition. Moreover, services performed for certain pre-acquisition SwiftWater customers have utilized TETRA employees and equipment. Similarly, certain pre-SwiftWater acquisition TETRA customers have utilized SwiftWater employees, equipment, and services. We have also added to SwiftWater's fleet of operating equipment through additional capital expenditures. As a result of the combined operations, the distinction of the revenue originating from SwiftWater versus TETRA is a subjective estimate. Due to these limitations, we have considered the $65.0 million of revenues for services performed for pre-acquisition SwiftWater customers subsequent to the closing on February 28, 2018 as the estimate of the impact from the SwiftWater acquisition on our consolidated revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

As a result of our focus since the date of the acquisition on integrating and managing SwiftWater services with our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin, quantifying the financial impact on our consolidated earnings of the operations specific to SwiftWater is impracticable. SwiftWater acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.4 million were incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, consisting of external legal fees, transaction consulting fees, and due diligence costs. These costs have been recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

The pro forma information presented below has been prepared to give effect to the SwiftWater acquisition as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma information includes the impact from the allocation of the acquisition purchase price on depreciation and amortization. The pro forma information also excludes the SwiftWater acquisition-related costs charged to earnings during the 2018 period. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is based on estimates and assumptions we deemed appropriate. The following pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved if the acquisition transaction had occurred in the past, and our operating results may have been different from those reflected in the pro forma information below. Therefore, the pro forma information should not be relied upon as an indication of the operating results that we would have achieved if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or the future results that we will achieve after the transaction.

Sale of Offshore Division

On March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. Pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco"), Orinoco purchased certain remaining offshore oil, gas and mineral leases and related assets of Maritech (the "Maritech Properties"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement") with Orinoco, whereby Orinoco purchased all of the equity interests of Maritech (the "Maritech Equity Interests"). Immediately thereafter, we closed the transactions contemplated by an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Offshore Services Purchase Agreement") with Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC, an affiliate of Orinoco ("Epic Offshore"), whereby Epic Offshore (the "Offshore Services Sale") purchased all of the equity interests in the wholly owned subsidiaries that comprised our Offshore Services segment operations (the "Offshore Services Equity Interests").
Under the terms of the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, and the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, the consideration delivered by Orinoco and Epic Offshore for the Maritech Properties, the Maritech Equity Interests and the Offshore Services Equity Interests consisted of (i) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities and obligations relating to the ownership, operation and condition of the Maritech Properties and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco to us under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) the assumption by Orinoco of substantially all of the liabilities of Maritech and the provision of certain indemnities by Orinoco under the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement, (iii) the assumption by Epic Offshore of substantially all of the liabilities of the Offshore Services Equity Interests relating to the periods following the closing of the Offshore Services Sale and the provision of certain indemnities by Epic Offshore under the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement, (iv) cash in the amount $3.1 million, (v) a promissory note in the original principal amount of $7.5 million payable by Epic Offshore to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, (vi) performance by Orinoco under a Bonding Agreement executed in connection with the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement and the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement whereby Orinoco provided at closing non-revocable performance bonds in an amount equal to $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech, and (vii) the delivery of a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Consideration"). Pursuant to the Bonding Agreement, Orinoco is required to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and we are seeking to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect.

As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businesses of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments, and these operations are reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. See Note E - "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion. Our consolidated pre-tax results of operations for the nine month period ending September 30, 2018 included a loss on the disposal of our Offshore Division of $33.8 million, net of tax, including transaction costs of $1.4 million.


NOTE E – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS


As discussed in Note D - "Acquisitions and Dispositions," onOn March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. As a result, we have accounted for our Offshore Division, consisting of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments, as discontinued operations and have revised prior period financial statements to exclude these businesses from continuing operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of the bankruptcy filing of Epic Companies, LLC, we recorded a reserve for the full amount of certain other receivables of discontinued operations in the amount of $1.5 million and for the full amount of a $7.5 million promissory note, including accrued interest, that we received as part of the consideration for the sale. See Note H - "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion. A summary of financial information related to our discontinued operations is as follows:

TETRA Long-Term Debt2019.

Asset-Based Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2018, TETRA, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as loan parties and guarantors, entered into an asset-based lending Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (collectively, the "ABL Lenders"). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of TETRA’s and any other borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable, and contains within the facility a letter of credit sublimit of $20.0 million and a swingline loan sublimit of $10.0 million.

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) London InterBank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, two, three or six months (as selected by TETRA) plus a margin based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio or (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on a fixed charge coverage ratio. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest as announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. Initially, from September 10, 2018 until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, LIBOR-based loans have an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum and base-rate loans have an applicable margin of 1.0% per annum. Thereafter, the applicable margin will range between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.75% to 1.25% per annum for base-rate loans, based upon the applicable fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the ABL Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at an applicable rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% per annum, paid monthly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement. TETRA will also be required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR-based loans and fronting fees.

The revolving loans under the ABL Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to applicable breakage fees. The maturity date of the ABL Facility is September 10, 2023.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness, and the sale of assets. The ABL Credit Agreement also contains a provision that may require a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 in the event that certain conditions associated with outstanding borrowings and cash availability occur. As of September 30, 2018, such conditions have not occurred. All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the ABL Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, including CCLP, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments, and change of control.

Proceeds of loans under the ABL Credit Agreement were used to pay certain debt of TETRA existing on the effective date of the ABL Credit Agreement and may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, and

other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The ABL Credit Agreement replaced TETRA's previous Bank Credit Agreement, as defined and discussed in further detail below. In connection with the execution of the ABL Credit Agreement, $1.3 million of financing costs were incurred, and deferred against the carrying value of the amount outstanding.

Term Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2018, TETRA, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the “Term Lenders”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent. The Term Credit Agreement provides an initial loan in the amount of $200 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and the availability of additional loans, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $75 million (the “Additional Term Loans,” and together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”).

Borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, three or six months (as selected by TETRA) plus a margin of 6.25% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the rate of interest as set forth in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the largest U.S. banks announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Term Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at the rate of 1.0% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the Term Credit Agreement.

The Term Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness, and the sale of assets. The Term Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that the borrowers comply at the end of each fiscal quarter with a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2018, TETRA is in compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio requirement.

All obligations under the Term Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the Term Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, including CCLP, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The Term Credit Agreement includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control.

Proceeds from the Initial Term Loan, net of a 2% discount in the amount of $4.0 million, were used to prepay the outstanding indebtedness under the $125.0 million 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due November 5, 2022 (the “11.0% Senior Notes”) and indebtedness of TETRA under its existing Bank Credit Agreement. Proceeds of any Additional Term Loans may be used for acquisitions, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement. The loans under the Term Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, subject to applicable breakage fees. Any prepayment prior to the one-year anniversary is subject to a “make-whole” payment as set forth in the Term Credit Agreement. Thereafter, any prepayment during the period commencing after the one-year anniversary and ending on the two-year anniversary will have a premium of 3.0% and during the period commencing after the two-year anniversary and ending on the three-year anniversary, a premium of 1.0%. The maturity date of the Term Credit Agreement is September 10, 2025. There is no prepayment premium required after the third anniversary. In connection with the issuance of the Term Credit Agreement, TETRA incurred $1.0 million of financing costs, $0.4 million of which was charged to other (income) expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.6 million of lender fees were deferred against the carrying value of the amount

outstanding. These deferred financing costs, along with the 2% discount, are amortized over the term of the Term Credit Agreement.

Bank Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2018, in connection with the closing of the above-described loans, TETRA repaid all outstanding borrowings and obligations under its then existing Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 2006, as previously amended (the "Bank Credit Agreement") with a portion of the net proceeds from the above-described loans, and terminated the existing Bank Credit Agreement. As a result of the termination of the Bank Credit Agreement, during the three month period ended September 30, 2018, associated unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.5 million were charged to other (income) expense, net, and $0.4 million were deferred and will be amortized over the term of the ABL Credit Agreement. Certain ABL Lenders were lenders under the existing Bank Credit Agreement and, accordingly, received a portion of the proceeds from the above-described loans in connection with the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement.

11% Senior Note

On September 10, 2018, in connection with the closing of the above-described loans, TETRA repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the 11% Senior Note with a portion of the proceeds from the above-described loans, terminating its obligations under the 11% Senior Note and related note purchase agreement. Affiliates of certain Term Lenders were holders of the 11% Senior Note and, accordingly, received a portion of the proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement in connection with the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness under the 11% Senior Note. In connection with the early termination of the 11% Senior Note, TETRA paid a $7.0 million "make-whole" prepayment fee in accordance with the terms of the 11% Senior Note. This prepayment fee, along with $3.4 million of unamortized discount and $2.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the 11% Senior Note, has been deferred and is being amortized over the term of the new Term Credit Agreement.

CCLP Long-Term Debt    

CCLP Senior Secured Notes

On March 8, 2018, CCLP, and its wholly owned subsidiary, CSI Compressco Finance Inc. (together with CCLP, the "CCLP Issuers") entered into the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representative of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the CCLPIssuers agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $350 million aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Issuers’ 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (the "CCLP Senior Secured Notes") (the "CCLP Offering") pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The CCLP Issuers closed the Offering on March 22, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $342.7 million, after deducting certain financing costs. CCLP used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full and terminate its existing CCLP Bank Credit Facility and plans to use the remainder for general partnership purposes, including the expansion of its compression fleet. The CCLP Senior Secured Notesare jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed (the "Guarantees" and, together with the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, the "CCLP Senior Secured Note Securities")on a senior secured basis initially by each of CCLP's domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance Inc., certain immaterial subsidiaries and certain other excluded domestic subsidiaries) and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the CCLP Issuers' and the Guarantors' assets (other than certain excluded assets) (the "Collateral") as collateral security for their obligations under the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, subject to certain permitted encumbrances and exceptions. On the closing date, CCLP entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee with respect to the Securities. The CCLP Senior Secured Notesaccrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum. Interest on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, CCLP incurred total financing costs of $7.4 million related to theCCLP Senior Secured Notes. These costs are deferred, netting against the carrying value of the amount outstanding.


On and after April 1, 2021, CCLP may redeem all or a part of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:

   
Date Price
2021 105.625%
2022 103.750%
2023 101.875%
2024 100.000%

In addition, at any time and from time to time before April 1, 2021, CCLP may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the CCLP Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Prior to April 1, 2021, CCLP may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the amount of the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.500% of the principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, provided that (a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes originally issued on the issue date (excluding notes held by CCLP and its subsidiaries) remains outstanding after each such redemption; and (b) the redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the closing of the equity offering.
If CCLP experiences certain kinds of changes of control, each holder of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes will be entitled to require CCLP to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that holder’s CCLP Senior Secured Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. CCLP will offer to make a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Indenture contains customary covenants restricting CCLP's ability and the ability of CCLP restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay distributions on, purchase or redeem CCLP common units or purchase or redeem any CCLP subordinated debt; (ii) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain kinds of preferred equity securities; (iii) create or incur certain liens securing indebtedness; (iv) sell assets, including dispositions of the Collateral; (v) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from its restricted subsidiaries to CCLP. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including certain provisions permitting CCLP, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to transfer assets to certain of CCLP's unrestricted subsidiaries. Moreover, if the CCLP Senior Secured Notes receive an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture will be terminated. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and acceleration provisions relating to such events of default, which provide that upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding CCLP Senior Secured Notes may declare all of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On March 22, 2018, CCLP, the grantors named therein, the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as the collateral trustee (the “Collateral Trustee”), entered into a collateral trust agreement (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”) pursuant to which the Collateral Trustee will receive, hold, administer, maintain, enforce and distribute

the proceeds of all of its liens upon the Collateral for the benefit of the current and future holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes and any future priority lien obligations, if any.

CCLP Bank Credit Facilities.

On March 22, 2018, in connection with the closing of the CCLP Offering, CCLP repaid all outstanding borrowings and obligations under its then existing CCLP Bank Credit Facility with a portion of the net proceeds from the CCLP Offering, and terminated the CCLP Bank Credit Facility. As a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility, associated unamortized deferred financing costs of $3.5 million were charged to other (income) expense, net, during the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

On June 29, 2018, CCLP and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "CCLP Borrowers"), and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries named therein as guarantors (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors"), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement") with the lenders thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent, letter of credit issuer, and swing line lender. All of the CCLP Borrowers' obligations under the CCLP New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of their existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The CCLP New Credit Agreement includes a maximum credit commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit with a sublimit of $25.0 million and swingline loans with a sublimit of $5.0 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of CCLP’s and any other borrowers’ accounts receivable. Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CCLP New Credit Agreement.

The CCLP Borrowers may borrow funds under the CCLP New Credit Agreement to pay fees and expenses related to the CCLP New Credit Agreement and for the Borrower's ongoing working capital needs and for general business purposes. The revolving loans under the CCLP New Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage or similar costs. The maturity date of the CCLP New Credit Agreement is June 29, 2023. As of September 30, 2018, no balance was outstanding under the CCLP New Credit Agreement. Because there was no outstanding balance on the CCLP New Credit Agreement, associated deferred financing costs of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2018, were classified as other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Borrowings under the CCLP New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the CCLP Borrowers, either (i) London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to 30, 60, 90, 180 or 360 days (as selected by the CCLP Borrowers, subject to availability and with the consent of the Lenders for 360 days) plus a margin based on average daily excess availability or (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on average daily excess availability; such base rate shall be determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the CCLP New Credit Agreement) rate plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a 30-day interest period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. Initially, from June 29, 2018 until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, LIBOR-based loans will have an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum and base-rate loans will have an applicable margin of 1.00% per annum; thereafter, the applicable margin will range between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.75% and 1.25% per annum for base-rate loans, according to average daily excess availability when financial statements are delivered. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the CCLP New Credit Agreement, the CCLP Borrowers will be required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, initially at the rate of 0.375% per annum until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and thereafter at the applicable rate ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the CCLP New Credit Agreement. The CCLP Borrowers will also be required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans and fronting fees.

The CCLP New Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the CCLP Borrowers, the CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors and certain of their subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and the sale of assets. The CCLP New Credit Agreement also contains a provision that may require a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the CCLP New Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 in the event that certain conditions associated with outstanding borrowings and cash availability occur. As of September 30, 2018, such conditions have not occurred.

All obligations under the CCLP New Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first priority security interest for the benefit of the Lenders in the CCLP Borrowers’ and the CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors’ present and future accounts receivable, inventory and related assets and proceeds of the foregoing.

NOTE GF – CCLP SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED UNITS


During 2016,In January 2019, CCLP entered into Series Abegan redeeming CCLP Preferred Unit Purchase Agreements (the “CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements”) with certain purchasers to issue and sellUnits for cash, resulting in two private placements (the "Initial Private Placement" and "Subsequent Private Placement," respectively)2,660,569 CCLP Preferred Units being redeemed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for an aggregate of 6,999,126 of CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in CCLP (the “CCLP Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”), resulting in total 2016 net proceeds to CCLP, after deducting certain offering expenses, of $77.3 million. We purchased 874,891 of the CCLP Preferred Units in the Initial Private Placement at the aggregate Issue Price of $10.0 million.

We and the other holders of CCLP Preferred Units (each, a “CCLP Preferred Unitholder”) receive quarterly distributions,$28.0 million, which are paid in kind in additional CCLP Preferred Units, equal to an annual rate of 11.00% of the Issue Price ($1.2573 per unit annualized), subject to certain adjustments. The rights of the CCLP Preferred Units include certain anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for economic dilution resulting from the issuance of CCLP common units in the future below a set price.

A ratable portion of the CCLP Preferred Units has been, and will continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of each month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 (each, a “Conversion Date”), subject to certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement that may delay or accelerate all or a portion of such monthly conversions. On each Conversion Date, a portion of the CCLP Preferred Units will convert into CCLP common units representing limited partner interests in CCLP in an amount equal to, with respect to each CCLP Preferred Unitholder, the number of CCLP Preferred Units held by such CCLP Preferred Unitholder divided by the number of Conversion Dates remaining, subject to adjustment described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement, with the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined by the trading prices of the common units over the prior month, among other factors, and as otherwise impacted by the existence of certain conditions related to the CCLP common units. Based on the number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2018, the maximum aggregate number of CCLP common units that could be required to be issued pursuant to the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units isincludes approximately 20.7 million CCLP common units; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and common units, to the CCLP Preferred Unitholders instead of issuing common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement. The total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2018 was 3,623,950, of which we held 455,127.

Because the CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, the total fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units of $42.3 million, net of the fair value of the units we purchased of $5.3 million, is classified as long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity." The net fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units as of September 30, 2018 was $36.9 million. During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2018, changes in the fair value during each period resulted in $0.5 million and $1.3 million beingof redemption premium that was paid and charged to earnings, respectively,other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2017, changes in the fair value resulted in $1.1 million and $4.3 million being credited to earnings, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Based on the conversion provisionsThe last redemption of the CCLP Preferred Units, and using the Conversion Price calculated as of September 30, 2018, the theoretical number of CCLP common units that would be issued if all of theremaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units, were convertedalong with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid-in-kind units, occurred on September 30, 2018 on the same basis as the monthly conversions would be approximately 8.4 million CCLP common units, withAugust 8, 2019, for an aggregate market valuecash payment of $43.2 million. A $1 decrease in the Conversion Price would result in the issuance$5.0 million, of 2.1which $0.6 million additional CCLP common units pursuantwas paid to these conversion provisions.us.


NOTE HG – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” within an entity’s principal market, if any. The principal market is the market in which the reporting entity would sell the asset or transfer the liability with the greatest volume and level of activity, regardless of whether it is the market in which the entity will ultimately transact for a particular asset or liability or if a different market is potentially more advantageous. Accordingly, this exit price concept may result in a fair value that may differ from the transaction price or market price of the asset or liability.
Under U.S. GAAP, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, where possible. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs may be needed to measure fair value in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which could include the reporting entity’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would utilize in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments


CCLP Preferred UnitsWarrants


The CCLP Preferred UnitsWarrants are valued using a lattice modeling technique that, among a number of lattice structures, includes significant unobservable items (a Level 3 fair value measurement). These unobservable items include (i) the volatility of the trading price of CCLP's common units compared to a volatility analysis of equity prices of CCLP's comparable peer companies, (ii) a yield analysis that utilizes market information related to the debt yields of comparable peer companies, and (iii) a future conversion price analysis. The fair valuation of the CCLP Preferred Units liability is increased by, among other factors, projected increases in CCLP's common unit price and by increases in the volatility and decreases in the debt yields of CCLP's comparable peer companies. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of CCLP Preferred Units will increase (decrease) the associated liability and result in future adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains). During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, the changes in the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units resulted in $0.5 million and $1.3 million charged to earnings, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.

Warrants

The Warrants are valued either by using their traded market prices (a Level 1 fair value measurement) or, for periods when market prices are not available, by using the Black Scholes option valuation model that includes estimates of theimplied volatility of the Warrants implied by their trading pricesprice (a Level 3 fair value measurement). As of September 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the fair valuation methodology utilized for the Warrants was a Level 3 fair value measurement, as there were no available traded market prices to value the Warrants. The fair valuation of the Warrants liability is increased by, among other factors, increases in our common stock price, and by increases in the volatility of our common stock price. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants will increase (decrease) the associated liability and result in future adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains). During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, the changes in the fair value of the Warrants liability resulted in $0.2 million being credited to earnings and $0.02 million being charged to earnings, respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.


Stock Appreciation Rights

During the third quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, we issued stand-alone, cash-settled stock appreciation rights awards to an executive officer. These awards are valued by using the Black Scholes option valuation model (a Level 3 fair value measurement) and such fair value is recognized based on the portion of the requisite service period satisfied as of each valuation date. The fair valuation of the stock appreciation rights liability is increased by, among other factors, increases in our common stock price, and by increases in the volatility of our common stock price. These stock appreciation rights awards are reflected as an accrued liability in our consolidated balance sheet. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the stock appreciation rights awards will increase (decrease) the associated liability and result in future adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains). During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the fair value of the stock appreciation rights increased $0.3 million, which was charged to earnings in the consolidated statement of operations.

SwiftWater Contingent Consideration


As part of the purchase agreement of SwiftWater during the first quarter of 2018, the sellers have the right to receive contingent consideration payments, in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million, calculated on EBITDA and revenue of the combined water management business of SwiftWater and our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin in respect of the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The contingent consideration may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, at our election. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration associated with the February 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater") is based on a probability simulation utilizing forecasted revenues and EBITDA of the water management business of SwiftWater and all of our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin (a Level 3 fair value measurement). During the period from the closing date toAt September 30, 2018,2019, based on a forecast of SwiftWater 2019 revenues and EBITDA, the estimated fair value for the liabilitiesliability associated with the remaining contingent purchase price consideration increased to $11.3was $0.2 million, resulting in $(0.6) million and $3.7$0.8 million being (credited) chargedcredited to other (income) expense, net, during the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the sellers received a payment of $10.0 million based on SwiftWater's performance during 2018. In addition, as part of the purchase of JRGO Energy Services LLC ("JRGO") during December 2018, respectively.the sellers were paid contingent consideration of $1.4 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, based on JRGO's performance during the fourth quarter of 2018.


Derivative Contracts


We are exposed to financial and market risks that affect our businesses. We have concentrations of credit risk as a result of trade receivables owed to us by companies in the energy industry. We have currency exchange rate risk exposure related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies as well as to investments in certain of our international operations. As a result of our variable rate bank credit facility, we face market risk exposure related to changes in applicable interest rates. Our financial risk management activities may at times involve, among other measures, the use of derivative financial instruments, such as swap and collar agreements, to hedge the impact of market price risk exposures. For these fair value measurements, we utilize the quoted value as determined by our counterparty financial institution (a Level 2 fair value measurement).

We and CCLP each enter into 30-dayshort term foreign currency forward derivative contracts with third parties as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2018,2019, we and CCLP had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding relating to portions of our foreign operations:

Under this program, we and CCLP may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instrumentscontracts during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.


The fair values of foreign currency derivative instrumentscontracts are based on quoted market values as reported to us by our counterparty (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The fair values of our and CCLP's foreign currency derivative instrumentscontracts as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, are as follows:

The fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings and long-term debt pursuant to TETRA's ABL Credit Agreement and Term Credit Agreement, and the CCLP New Credit Agreement approximate their carrying amounts. The fair value of our long-term 11% Senior Note at December 31, 2017 was approximately $130.8 million, based on current interest rates on that date, which was different from the stated interest rate on the 11% Senior Note. This fair value compares to the face amount of the 11% Senior Note of $125.0 million at December 31, 2017. The fair values of the publicly traded CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes (as herein defined) at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, were approximately $276.0$269.2 million and $279.7$266.3 million, respectively. Those fair values compare to the face amount of $295.9 million both at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The fair valuevalues of the publicly traded CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 waswere approximately $358.3 million. This$344.8 million and $332.5 million, respectively. These fair value comparesvalues compare to aggregate principal amount of such notes at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, of $350.0 million. We calculated the fair values of our 11% Senior Note as of December 31, 2017 internally, using current market conditions and average cost of debt (a Level 2 fair value measurement). We based the fair values of the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes and the CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes as of September 30, 20182019 on recent trades for these notes. See Note F - "Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings," for a complete discussion of our debt.

NOTE JH – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation
 
We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Contingencies of Discontinued Operations

In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech's remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of the outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the business of our Maritech segment.

Under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities related to the leases sold to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the decommissioning liabilities associated with the oil and gas properties previously sold by Maritech (the “Legacy Liabilities”), subject to certain limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to satisfy decommissioning liabilities associated with any of the Orinoco Lease Liabilities or the Legacy Liabilities, we may be required to satisfy such liabilities under third party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees that we previously provided to the US Department of the Interior and other parties, respectively.

On March 18, 2011,Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech (the “Initial Bonds”) and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the Initial Bonds with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million (collectively, the “Interim Replacement Bonds”). Orinoco further agreed to replace, within 180 days following the closing, the Interim Replacement Bonds with a maximum of three non-revocable performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million, meeting certain requirements (the “Final Bonds”). Among the other requirements of the Final Bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. In the event Orinoco does not provide the Interim Replacement Bonds or the Final Bonds, Orinoco is required to make certain cash escrow payments to us.

The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and it has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which dismissed our present claims against Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement and against the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. We believe this judgment should not have been granted and have begun the process of appealing it. The Initial Bonds, which are non-revocable, remain in effect.

If we become liable in the Circuit Courtfuture for any decommissioning liability associated with any property covered by either an Initial Bond or an Interim Replacement Bond while such bonds are outstanding and the payment made to us under such bond is not sufficient to satisfy such liability, the Bonding Agreement provides that Orinoco will pay us an amount equal to such deficiency and if Orinoco fails to pay any such amount, such amount must be paid by the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. However, if the Final Bonds or the full amount of Union County, Arkansas, asserting claimsthe escrowed cash have been provided, neither Orinoco nor the Clarkes would be liable to pay us for any such deficiency. Our financial condition and results of professional negligence, breachoperations may be negatively affected if Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or if we become liable for a significant portion of contractthe decommissioning liabilities.

In early 2018, we also closed the sale of our Offshore Division to Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC). Part of the consideration we received was a promissory note of Epic Companies in the original principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other claims againstagreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the engineering firmOffshore Division totaling approximately $1.5 million were payable to us. At the end of August 2019, Epic Companies filed for bankruptcy. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, we hiredrecorded a reserve of $7.5 million for engineering design, equipment, procurement, advisory, testing and startup services for our El Dorado, Arkansas chemical production facility. The engineering firm disputed our claims and promptly filed a motion to compel the matter to arbitration. After a lengthy procedural dispute in Arkansas state court, arbitration proceedings were initiated on November 15, 2013. Ultimately, on December 16, 2016, the arbitration panel ruled in our favor, declared us as the prevailing party, and awarded us a total netfull amount of $12.8 million. We received full payment of the $12.8 million final award on January 5, 2017,promissory note including accrued interest, and this amount was credited to earningscertain other receivables in the accompanying consolidated statementamount of operations for the nine months ended$1.5 million at September 30, 2017.2019. We continue to monitor this matter and seek to vigorously pursue our rights to collect all amounts payable to us, including the amounts owed under the Epic Promissory Note when due, including by enforcing our rights under the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement.


NOTE KI – INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
 
Following the transactions closed during the three month period ended March 31, 2018, we reorganized our reporting segments and nowWe manage our operations through three3 Divisions: Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Compression. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division was previously reported as our Fluids Division, and included our water management services operations. Following the acquisition of SwiftWater in February 2018, our expanded water management operations are now included with our production testing operations as part of our Water & Flowback Services Division. The operations of our previous Offshore Division, consisting of our previous Offshore Services and Maritech segments, are now reported as discontinued operations following their disposal in March 2018.
Our Completion Fluids & Products Division manufactures and markets clear brine fluids ("CBF"), additives, and associated products and services to the oil and gas industry for use in well drilling, completion, and workover operations in the United States and in certain countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The division also markets liquid and dry calcium chloride products manufactured at its production facilities or purchased from third-party suppliers to a variety of markets outside the energy industry.
Our Water & Flowback Services Division provides domestic onshore oil and gas operators with comprehensive water management services. The division also provides frac flowback, production well testing, offshore rig cooling, and other associated services in many of the major oil and gas producing regions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as well as in basins in certain regions in South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.
The Compression Division is a provider of compression services and equipment for natural gas and oil production, gathering, transportation, processing, and storage. The Compression Division's equipment sales business includes the fabrication and sale of standard compressor packages, custom-designed compressor packages, and oilfield pump systems designed and fabricated at the division's facilities. The Compression Division's aftermarket services business provides compressor package reconfiguration and maintenance services as well as providing compressor package parts and components manufactured by third-party suppliers. The Compression Division provides its services and equipment to a broad base of natural gas and oil exploration and production, midstream, transmission, and storage companies operating throughout many of the onshore producing regions of the United States as well as in a number of foreign countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Argentina.
We generally evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to our segments based on profit or loss from their operations before income taxes and nonrecurring charges, return on investment, and other criteria. Transfers between segments and geographic areas are priced at the estimated fair value of the products or services as negotiated between the operating units. “Corporate Overhead” includes corporate general and administrative expenses, corporate depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense, and other income and expense.

NOTE LJ – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS


Performance Obligations.Revenue is generally recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally this occurs with thewe transfer of control of our products or services to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers. ForWe receive cash equal to the invoice price for most sales of product and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for such products or services is not expected to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a general discussionfinancing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the naturearrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the goodsconsideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer.

For any arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we use management's estimated selling price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and services that we provide, see Note K - "Industry Segments."amortized over the estimated service period.


Product Sales. Product sales revenues are generally recognized at a point in time when we transfer control of our product offerings to our customers, generally when we ship products from our facility to our customer. The product sales for our Completion Fluid & Products Division consist primarily of CBF,clear brine fluids ("CBFs"), additives, and associated manufactured products. Product sales for our Water & Flowback Services Division are typically attributed to specific performance obligations within certain production testing service arrangements. Parts and equipment sales comprise the product sales for the Compression Division.


Services. Service revenues represent revenue recognized over time, as our customer arrangements typically provide agreed upon day-rates (monthly service rates for compression services) and we recognize service revenue based upon the number of days services have been performed. Service revenue recognized over time is associated with a majority of our Water & Flowback Services Division arrangements, compression service and aftermarket service contracts within our Compression Division, and a small portion of Completion Fluids & Products Division revenue that is associated with completion fluid service arrangements. With the exception of the initial terms of the compression services contracts for medium- and high-horsepower compressor packages of our Compression Division, our customer contracts are generally for terms of one year or less. The majority of the service arrangements in the Water & Flowback Services Division are for a period of 90 days or less. Within our Compression Division service revenue, most aftermarket service revenues are recognized at a point in time when we transfer control of our products and complete the delivery of services to our customers.

We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most product sales and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for products or services are not expected to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a financing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer. For any arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we use management's estimated selling price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period. As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had $16.5$69.9 million of remaining contractual performance obligations related to ourfor compression service contracts. services. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than 12twelve months andand does not consider the effects of the time value of money. The remaining performance obligations are expectedmoney. Expected revenue to be recognized through 2022 in the future for completion of performance obligations of compression service contracts are as follows (in thousands):

Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping costs as part of cost of product sales when control over our products (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer.


Use of Estimates. Contracts where the amount of revenue that will ultimately be realized is subject to uncertainties not fully known as of the time revenue is recognized are known as variable consideration arrangements. In recognizing revenue for thesevariable consideration arrangements, the amount of variable consideration recognized is limited so that it is probable that significant amounts of revenues will not be reversed in future periods when the

uncertainty is resolved. For products returned by the customer, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. For volume discounts earned by the customer, we estimate the discount (if any) based on our estimate of the total expected volume of products sold or services to be provided to the customer during the discount period. In certain contracts for the sale of CBF, we may agree to issue credits for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids from certain customers at an agreed price that is based on the condition of the fluids. For sales of CBF, we adjust the revenue recognized in the period of shipment by the

estimated amount of the credit expected to be issued to the customer, and this estimate is based on historical experience. As of September 30, 2018,2019, the amount of remaining credits expected to be issued for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids was $1.7$2.1 million that were recorded in inventory (right of return asset) and accounts payable. There were no material differences between amounts recognized during the three and nine month periodperiods ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to estimates made in a prior period from these variable consideration arrangements.


Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract We consider contract assets arise when we transfer products or perform services in fulfillment of a contract obligation but must perform other performance obligations before being entitled to payment. Generally, once we have transferred products or performed services for the customer pursuant to a contract, we recognize revenue andbe trade accounts receivable aswhen we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing, our invoicing of the customer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we recognize a contract asset rather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are entitledable to payment that is unconditional. Anyinvoice the customer. Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with these documentation requirements, were $33.0 million and $44.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Contract assets, along with billed and unbilledtrade accounts receivable, are included in Trade Accounts Receivabletrade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.Contract liabilities arise when we receive consideration, or consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring products or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract.

We classify contract liabilities as Unearned Incomeunearned income in our consolidated balance sheets. Such deferred revenue typically results from advance payments received on orders for new compressor equipment prior to the time such equipment is completed and transferred to the customer in accordance with the customer contract.New equipment sales orders generally take less than twelve months to build and deliver.


As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, contract assets were immaterial. The following table reflects the changes in our contract liabilities duringfor the nine month period ended September 30, 2018:periods indicated:

During the three month period ended September 30, 2018, contract liabilities increased due to unearned income for consideration received on new compressor equipment being fabricated. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, $82.1 million of unearned income was2019, we recognized asin product sales revenue primarily associated with deliveries of new compression equipment.$24.6 million from unearned income that was deferred as of December 31, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized in product sales revenue of $16.2 million from unearned income that was deferred as of our adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018.


Contract Costs. When costs are incurred to obtain contracts, such as professional fees and sales bonuses, such costs are deferred and amortized over the expected period of benefit. Costs of mobilizing service equipment necessary to perform under service contracts, if significant, are deferred and amortized over the estimated service period, which is generally a few weeks. As of September 30, 2018, such2019, contract costs were immaterial. Where applicable, we establish provisions for estimated obligations pursuant to product warranties by accruing for estimated future product warranty cost in the period of the product sale. Such estimates are based on historical warranty loss experience. Major components of fabricated compressor packages have manufacturer warranties that we pass through to the customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into Product Sales and Services within each segment, as noted in our three reportable segments in Note K.I. In addition, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geography based on the following table below.

NOTE K – LEASES

We have operating leases for some of our transportation equipment, office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. We have finance leases for certain storage tanks and equipment rentals. These finance leases are not material to our financial statements. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 16 years. Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 days or six months. The office space, warehouse space, operating location leases, and machinery and equipment leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. We do not have leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Variable rent expense was not material.

Our corporate headquarters facility located in The Woodlands, Texas, was sold on December 31, 2012, pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction. As a condition to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the facility, the parties entered into a lease agreement for the facility having an initial lease term of 15 years, which is classified as an operating lease. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we have the ability to extend the lease for five successive five-year periods at base rental rates to be determined at the time of each extension.



Components of lease expense, included in either cost of revenues or general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset, are as follows (inclusive of lease expense for leases not included on our consolidated balance sheet based on our accounting policy election to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less):

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


The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report.In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2018.4, 2019 ("2018 Annual Report"). This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.

Business Overview  

AsWe are a geographically diversified oil and natural gas pricing continued to improve during the third quarter of 2018, the demand for many of ourservices company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, remained strong. This increased demand is particularly reflected in the operating results of ourwater management, frac flowback, production well testing, and compression services and equipment. We operate through three reporting segments organized into three Divisions - Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, Division and our Compression Division, resulting in consolidated revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2018 increasing by 39.8% compared to the corresponding prior year quarter. Water & Flowback Services Division revenues included the impactCompression.
Demand for products and services of our February 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater") along with strong growth in our existing operations. Increased completion activity in key onshore markets has driven the improved operating results. The contribution from SwiftWater on Water & Flowback Services Division revenues and earnings is expected to continue going forward as we capture additional operating and administrative efficiencies with the acquired operations. Our Compression Division also reported increased revenues, as increased demand for compression services has resulted in increased utilization and customer contract pricing. New compressor equipment sales have also increased, and new orders for equipment have exceeded the increased sales recognized, further increasing the new equipment sales backlog to $140.2 million. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division reported a decreasehas remained fairly consistent despite continued volatility in revenues, as offshore activity levels remain challenged,pricing for oil and earnings decreased compared touncertainty in many of the prior year quarter due tomarkets where we operate, which affects the completionplans of a TETRA CS Neptune(R) completion fluid project during 2017. Despite increased consolidated operatingmany of our oil and administrative expenses and the working capital challenges accompanying our growinggas operations we anticipate continuing improved revenues and increasing operating cash flows during the remainder of 2018.

Following the strategic transactions that closed during the first quarter of 2018, we have continued to grow our core businesses to capitalize on the improvingcustomers. Recent oil price volatility has particularly affected domestic onshore demand for our products and services. While continuing to

consider suitable acquisition opportunities, we have grown organically through an increased capital expenditure program for our core businesses in selected markets. Our Compression Division increased its growth capital expenditure levels during the first nine months of 2018 compared to the corresponding prior year period, as it continues to increase its compression equipment fleet to meet the increasing customer demand for compression services. In addition, we have also increased capital expenditure levels for our Water & Flowback Services Division as we selectively grow ourservices, resulting in increased customer contract pricing pressure. The construction of infrastructure to alleviate current takeaway capacity in certain markets. As a result, growth capital expenditures have increased significantly during the first nine months of 2018 compared to the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2018, we enhanced our debt structure, entering into aconstraints that are limiting production and new credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) which provided an initial loandrilling in the amount of $200 millionPermian Basin has continued to contribute to increased demand for compressor equipment and the availability of additional loans, subjectservices through our Compression Division. This growth in demand continues to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $75 million. In addition, during the third quarter of 2018, we entered into an asset-based lending Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) that provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base,drive increases in our compression services revenues, through increased activity and that contains within the facility a letter of credit sublimit of $20.0 million and a swingline loan sublimit of $10.0 million. Proceeds from both the Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement were used to repaycustomer contract pricing.
We are aggressively managing our 11% Senior Note and repay all outstanding borrowings and obligations under our existing Bank Credit Agreement. Both the note-purchase agreement related to the 11% Senior Note and the existing Bank Credit Agreement were terminated. To fund its growth, during the first half of 2018, our CSI Compressco LP ("CCLP") subsidiary enhanced its long-term debt structure. Following the March 2018 repayment of its previous bank credit facility and the issuance of the 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (the "CCLP Senior Secured Notes"), in June 2018, CCLP entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement"), which provides up to $50.0 million to fund ongoing working capital and letter of credit needs and for general business purposes. CCLP also had $26.2 million of available cash as of September 30, 2018, which is available to fund additional Compression Division growth capital expenditures.

Approximately $632.5 million of our consolidated debt balance carrying value is owed by CCLP, serviced by CCLP's existing cash balances and cash provided by CCLP's operations (less its capital expenditures), and $343.1 million of which is secured by certain assets of CCLP. The following table provides condensed consolidating balance sheet information reflecting TETRA's net assets and CCLP's net assets that service and secure TETRA's and CCLP's respective capital structures.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.6 million compared to $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $35.2 million, despite improved operating profitability. The decrease was primarily due to cash utilized for working capital due to timing of payments of accounts payable and increased inventory. Consolidated capital expenditures, net of sales proceeds, were $106.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and included $78.2 million of capital expenditures by our Compression Division, primarily for growth capital expenditures. Corresponding prior year period consolidated capital expenditures, net of sales proceeds, were $27.8 million, including $13.7 million by our Compression Division. Although our capital expenditure levels are expected to continue to be increased going

forward, we defer or reduce capital expenditure projects where possibleneeds in order to conserve cash. Key objectives associated withmaximize our capitalliquidity in the current environment. In addition, we continue to review our expectations of the demand for the products and services we provide in each of the markets where we operate. We intend to manage our flexible cost structure (excluding the capital structure of CCLP) include the ongoing management of amounts outstandingto proactively respond to changing market conditions and available under the new Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement. CCLP also continues to carefully monitor its 2018 capital expenditure program in order to conserve its cash. During the first nine months of 2018, we received $9.0 million from CCLP as our share of CCLP common unit and general partner distributions. As part of long-term strategic growth plans, we and CCLP evaluate opportunities to acquire businesses and assets that may require the payment of cash. Such acquisitions may be funded with existing cash balances, funds under credit facilities, or cash generated from the issuance of equity or debt securities. If it isexecute on actions necessary to issue additional equity to fund our capital needs, additional dilution to our common stockholders will occur.

manage through these conditions, some of which could result in impairments or restructuring charges in future periods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and
the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed
in our 2018 Annual Report. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We base these estimates on historical experience, available information, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable.We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments, including those related to potential impairments of long-lived assets (including goodwill), the collectability of accounts receivable, the current cost of future asset retirement obligations, and the allocation of acquisition purchase price. The fair values of portions of our total assets and liabilities are measured using significant unobservable inputs. The combination of these factors forms the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur,

as new information is acquired, and as changes in our operating environments are encountered. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates, and those differences may be material.

Acquisition Purchase Price Allocations
We account for acquisitions of businesses using the purchase method, which requires the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. We estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired using accepted valuation methods, and, in many cases, such estimates are based on our judgments as to the future operating cash flows expected to be generated from the acquired assets throughout their estimated useful lives.Following the February 28, 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater, we have accounted for the various assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities acquired based on our estimate of their fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired. Our estimates and judgments of the fair value of acquired businesses are imprecise, and the use of inaccurate fair value estimates could result in the improper allocation of the acquisition purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities, which could result in asset impairments,therecording of previously unrecorded liabilities, and other financial statement adjustments. The difficulty in estimating the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities is increased during periods of economic uncertainty.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The determination of impairment of long-lived assets, including identified intangible assets, is conducted periodically whenever indicators of impairment are present. If such indicators are present, the determination of the amount of impairment is based on our judgments as to the future operating cash flows to be generated from these assets throughout their estimated useful lives. If an impairment of a long-lived asset is warranted, we estimate the fair value of the asset based on a present value of these cash flows or the value that could be realized from disposing of the asset in a transaction between market participants. The oil and gas industry is cyclical, and our estimates of the amount of future cash flows, the period over which these estimated future cash flows will be generated, as well as the fair value of an impaired asset, are imprecise. Our failure to accurately estimate these future operating cash flows or fair values could result in certain long-lived assets being overstated, which could result in impairment charges in periods subsequent to the time in which the impairment indicators were first present. Alternatively, if our estimates of future operating cash flows or fair values are understated, impairments might be recognized unnecessarily or in excess of the appropriate amounts. During the three month period ended September 30, 2018, as a result of decreased expected future cash flows from a specific customer contract, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment of an identified intangible asset of $2.9 million. During periods of economic uncertainty, the likelihood of additional material impairments of long-lived assets is higher due to the possibility of decreased demand for our products and services.

Consolidated revenues during the current year quarter decreased compared to the prior year quarter due to decreases in product sales and activity. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit during the current year quarter increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $43.7 million increase in Compression Division revenues. The increase in Compression Division revenues was primarily driven by increased new compressor equipment sales activity. Our Water & Flowback Services Division also reported increased revenues of $37.5 million, primarily due to increased activity in certain domestic and international markets and the February 28, 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit decreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the lower gross profit resulting from the mix of products and services provided by our Completion Fluids & Products Division.and Compression Divisions. This decreaseincrease was largelypartially offset, however, by increasedthe lower gross profit fromof our Water & Flowback and Compression Divisions.Services Division. Despite the improvement in the activity levels of certain of our businesses, offshore activity levels remain flat andefforts to reduce operating costs whenever possible, the impact of pricing pressures continues to impacthampered profitability in certain onshore markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and minimizing increased headcount, despite the increased operating activities.
 
Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the thirdcurrent year quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased provision for bad debt of $1.3 million, offset by decreased salary and employee expenses of $3.0$0.6 million, increaseddecreased professional services fees of $0.1 million, and decreased insurance and other general expenses of $0.6 million, increased provision for bad debt of $0.9 million, as well as increased professional services fees of $0.2 million. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Water & Flowback Services Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year quarter.
 
Consolidated interest expense, net, increaseddecreased during the thirdcurrent year quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to decreased Compression Division interest expense partially offset by increased Corporate interest expense. Compression Division interest expense increased

decreased due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes issued in March 2018, a portioncompletion of the proceedsredemption of which were used to repay the balanceCCLP Preferred Units outstanding under the previous CCLP Bank Credit Facility. Interest expense is expected to remain increased compared to prior year periods.on August 8, 2019. Corporate interest expense also increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement.Agreement during the current year period. Interest expense during the 2018current and 2017 quarterly periodsprior year quarters includes $1.1$1.0 million and $1.2$1.1 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.

The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and therefore they are classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants are generally associated with increases (or decreases) in the trading price of our common stock, resulting in adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains), and resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the Warrants are outstanding.

The CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units are convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units will generally increase or decrease with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value will be charged (credited) to earnings, as appropriate, resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the CCLP Preferred Units are outstanding.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $0.6$0.7 million of other expenseincome during the current year quarter compared to $0.4$0.6 million of other incomeexpense during the prior year quarter primarily due to $0.9 million of increaseddecreased loan fees associated with new TETRA credit agreements in the prior year quarter and $0.6$1.3 million of decreased other incomeforeign currency losses, offset by increased expense of $0.4 million associated with insurance proceedsa redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash in the prior year. These increased expenses were offset by $0.6 million of other income associated with the measurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater.current year quarter.
 
Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the three month period ended September 30, 2019 is generally attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was 0.7%. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The Tax Reform Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Reform Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts. We will continue to make and refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in 2018 as provided by SAB 118. We recognized an income tax expense of $54.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 associated with the impact of the Tax Reform Act, which was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance previously recorded on our net deferred tax assets. As such, the Tax Reform Act resulted in no net tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. We have considered in our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 the impact of the statutory changes enacted by the Tax Reform Act, including reasonable estimates of those provisions effective for the 2018 tax year. Our estimate on GILTI, FDII, BEAT, and IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation do not impact our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The $8.2 milliondecrease in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to decreased offshore completion fluids activity compared to the prior year, including the impact of completion services activity associated with the 2017 TETRA CS Neptune completion fluid project. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales of manufactured products compared to the prior year period.

Completion Fluids & Products Division gross profit during the current year quarter decreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the decreased revenues and profitability associated with the mix of CBF products and services, including the prior year impact of the TETRA CS Neptune completion fluid project discussed above. Completion Fluids & Products Division profitability in future periods will continue to be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptunecompletion fluid projects.
The Completion Fluids & Products Division reported a decrease in pretax earnings during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to decreased gross profit discussed above. Completion Fluids & Products Division administrative cost levels decreased compared to the prior year quarter, with $0.7 million of decreased salary and employee related expenses offset by $0.5 million of increased bad debt expense and $0.1 million of increased legal and professional fees. The Completion Fluids & Products Division continues to review opportunities to further reduce its administrative costs. Other income increased primarily due to foreign currency gains.

Water & Flowback Services Division revenues increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased water management services activities. Water management and flowback services activity increased $36.7 million resulting from the impact of increased demand, reflecting the growth in onshore completion activity. The majority of the water management increase was generated from the operations of SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected increased gross profit during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, due to the increase in revenues and improving customer pricing levels. However, customer pricing continues to be challenging due to excess availability of equipment in certain markets. The increase in gross profit during the current year period was despite the impact of a $2.9 million long-lived asset impairment. The Water & Flowback Services Division continues to monitor its cost structure, minimizing increased costs despite increasing activity levels, and looking to capture additional synergies following the SwiftWater acquisition.
The Water & Flowback Services Division reported increased pretax income during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the improvement in gross profit described above. General and administrative expenses levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of SwiftWater, increased salary and employee related expenses of $1.8 million, increased insurance and other general expenses of $0.3 million, and increased bad debt expense of $0.2 million. Due to increased foreign currency losses, other income decreased despite increased income of $0.6 million associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater.

Compression Division revenues increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $28.7 million increase in product sales revenues, due to a higher number of new compressor equipment sales compared to the prior year quarter. Demand for new compressor equipment continues to improve, and the current new equipment sales backlog has increased significantly compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, current year revenues reflect a $14.9 million increase in service revenues from compression and aftermarket services operations. This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compressor fleet utilization rates. Overall utilization of the Compression Division's compressor fleet has improved sequentially over the past two years, led by increased utilization of the high- and medium-horsepower fleet.

Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased revenues discussed above. Higher compressor fleet utilization rates have led to increases in customer contract pricing.
The Compression Division recorded an increased pretax loss during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter despite increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, which were issued in March 2018, compared to the interest rate on the previous CCLP Bank

Credit Facility. Increased interest expense is expected to continue compared to the prior year periods. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, due to increased salary and employee-related expenses, including equity compensation, of $1.3 million, increased other general expenses of $0.5 million and increased bad debt expense of $0.4 million. These increases were offset by decreased legal and professional fees of $0.2 million. The CCLP Preferred Units fair value adjustment resulted in a $1.6 million decreased credit to earnings in the current year quarter compared to the prior year period. Other (income) expense, net, reflected decreased income primarily due to decreased income associated with insurance proceeds in the prior period offset by increased foreign currency gains.

Corporate Overhead pretax loss increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased interest expense resulting from increased borrowings. Corporate general and administrative expense increased due to $0.6 million of increased salary, incentives and employee related expenses, and $0.4 million of increased professional service fees, offset by $0.1 million of decreased other general expenses and $0.1 million of decreased consulting marketing fees. In addition, other expense, net, increased primarily due to $0.9 million of debt issuance fees related to the new ABL Credit Agreement and the new Term Credit Agreement. The fair value of the outstanding Warrants liability resulted in a $0.2 million credit to earnings during 2018 compared to a $0.05 million credit to earnings in the prior year quarter.

Consolidated revenuesfor 2018 increased compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased Water & Flowback Services Division revenues, which increased by $113.0 million. The increase in Water & Flowback Services Division revenues was primarily driven by increased activity in certain domestic and international markets and the February 28, 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater. Our Compression Division reported increased revenues of $88.1 million, primarily due to increased new compressor equipment sales activity. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased revenues of our Water & Flowback Services Division and Compression Division. The increased gross profit from these divisions more than offset the lower gross profit of our Completion Fluids & Products Division, which resulted from the mix of products and services compared to the prior year period. Despite the improvement in activity levels of certain of our businesses, offshore activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge profitability in certain onshore markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and minimizing increased headcount, despite the increased operations.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year periodcompared to the prior year period, primarily due to $5.7 million of increased salary related expenses, $3.3 million of increased professional services fees, $2.9 million of insurance and other general expenses and $1.1 million of increased consulting and other expenses. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Water & Flowback Services Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed

above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year period.
Consolidated interest expense, net, increased in the current year period primarily due to Compression Division interest expense. Compression Division interest expense increased due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, a portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay the balance outstanding under the previous CCLP Bank Credit Facility. Increased interest expense is expected to continue compared to prior year periods. Corporate interest expense also increased due to the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement. Interest expense during 2018 and 2017 includes $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.
The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and therefore they are classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants are generally associated with increases (or decreases) in the trading price of our common stock, resulting in adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains), and resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the Warrants are outstanding.

The CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units are convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units will generally increase or decrease with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value will be charged (credited) to earnings, as appropriate, resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the CCLP Preferred Units are outstanding.

In January 2017, our Completion Fluids & Products Division collected $12.8 million from a legal arbitration award, resulting in a credit to earnings. See Commitments and Contingencies - Litigation section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $7.2 million of expense during the current year period compared to $0.8 million of expense during the prior year period, primarily due to $3.7 million of increased expense associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater and
$3.5 million of increased expense related to the unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings as a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility. In addition, other expense, net, increased approximately $1.0 million due to corporate debt issuance fees pursuant to the new debt agreements. Increased foreign currency gains partially offset these increases.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the first nine months of 2018 is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 20182019 of negative 8.2%21.1% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.


The Tax Reform Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Reform Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts. We will continue to make and refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in 2018 as provided by SAB 118. We recognized an income tax expense of $54.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 associated with the impact of the Tax Reform Act, which was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance previously recorded on our net deferred tax assets. As such, the Tax Reform Act resulted in no net tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. We have considered in our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 the impact of the statutory changes enacted by the Tax Reform Act, including reasonable estimates of those provisions effective for the 2018 tax year. Our estimate on GILTI, FDII, BEAT, and IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation do not impact our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Water & Flowback Services Division revenues decreased during the current year quarter primarily due to a reduction in commodity prices driving our customers' capital spending decisions and resulting in decreased activity and pricing levels when compared to prior year quarter.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected decreased gross profit during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the decreased revenues resulting from the decreased activity and pricing levels described above. In addition, our cost structure, specifically labor expense, does not always decrease proportionately with revenues due to a tight labor market for the services we provide.
The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreased pretax income during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the reduction in gross profit described above. General and administrative expense levels remained flat compared to the prior year quarter. Other income increased as compared to prior year quarter due to increased foreign currency gains of $0.5 million and increased gains on the disposal of assets of $0.2 million, offset by decreased income of $0.6 million associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater in the prior year.

Compression Division revenues decreased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $5.2 million decrease in product sales revenues, due to the timing of when customer projects were completed, partially offset with a $3.8 million increase in service revenues. This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, which is also reflected by increased compression fleet utilization rates.

Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to improved customer contract pricing, labor efficiencies, reduced maintenance costs, and improved inventory management.
The Compression Division recorded a decreased pretax loss during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the conversion and redemption of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million mainly associated with the bankruptcy of a single customer, partially offset by decreased employee expenses of $0.9 million. The CCLP Preferred Units fair value adjustment resulted in a $0.5 million charge to earnings in the prior year period with no corresponding impact in the current year quarter, as the last remaining outstanding Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019. Other (income) expense, net, reflected increased income primarily due to increased foreign currency gains of $0.5 million offset by $0.4 million of redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of the CCLP Preferred Units for cash.

Consolidated revenuesfor the current year period increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased Compression Division and Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues, which increased by $52.5 millionand $8.0 million, respectively. The increased revenues of the Compression Division were primarily due to increased new compressor equipment sales activity. The increase in revenues for the Completion Fluids & Products Division was primarily due to increased international product sales. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased profitability of our Compression Division and our Completion Fluids & Products Division. The increased gross profit from these divisions more than offset the lower gross profit of our Water & Flowback Services Division, which experienced increased costs and challenging customer pricing in competitive markets compared to the prior year period. Despite the improvement in activity levels of certain of our businesses, onshore and offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge profitability in certain markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and minimizing increased headcount, despite the increased operations.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year periodcompared to the prior year period primarily due to increased salary related expenses of $6.0 million, inclusive of executive transition costs of $1.8 million, and increased bad debt expense of $1.9 million, offset by decreased consulting and other expenses of $0.8 million and decreased professional services fees of $0.4 million. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Corporate Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year period.

Consolidated interest expense, net, increased in the current year period primarily due to Corporate and Compression Division interest expense. Corporate interest expense increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement in the current period. Compression Division interest expense increased due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates compared to the prior year period. Interest expense during the current year period and the prior year period includes $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of finance cost amortization.
Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $1.0 million of income during the current year period compared to $7.2 million of expense during the prior year period. The decrease in expense is primarily due to $4.5 million of decreased expense associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for the SwiftWater acquisition, $3.5 million decreased expense related to the unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings during the prior year period as a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility, and $1.0 million of decreased loan fees associated with new TETRA credit agreements that were issued in the prior year. These decreases were offset by increased expense of $1.5 million associated with a redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash and increased foreign currency losses.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the current year period is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 of negative 18.8% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year period compared to the prior year period was primarily due to $4.2 million of increased product sales revenue primarily due to increased international CBF product sales and domestic manufactured products sales, partially offset by reduced CBF product sales revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, service revenues increased$3.8 million, primarily due to increased international completion services activity. Offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain challenged, and the impact of pricing pressures continues to hamper profitability.

Completion Fluids & Products Division gross profit during the current year period increased significantly compared to the prior year period primarily due to the profitability associated with the increased manufactured products and international CBF sales revenues. Completion Fluids & Products Division profitability in future periods will be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptunecompletion fluid projects.


The Completion Fluids & Products Division reported a significant decreaseincrease in pretax earnings during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to the reductionincrease in gross profit discussed above and due to the collection of an arbitration award of $12.8 million during January 2017 that was credited to earnings.above. Completion Fluids & Products Division administrative cost levels decreasedincreased compared to the prior year period, as $1.6 million of decreased salary and employee related expenses, were partially offset by $0.4 million of increased legal and professional fees of $0.7 million and $0.2increased general expenses of $0.5 million of increasedwere partially offset by decreased bad debt expense. The Completion Fluids & Products Division continues to review opportunities to further reduce its administrative costs. Other income increased during the current year compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to $0.8 millionand other sales and marketing expenses of contract income recorded during the current year period.$0.4 million.

Water & Flowback Services Division revenues increased slightly during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased water management services activity. Water management and flowback services revenues increased $117.8$2.1 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from the acquisitionimpact of SwiftWater and increased demand in completion activity. We estimate that approximately $65.0 milliona full nine months of the water management services revenue increase was generatedrevenues from the operations of SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018.2018, and the impact of the December 2018 acquisition of JRGO. Product sales revenue decreased by $4.8$0.8 million, due to andecreased international equipment sale in the prior period.sales activity.


The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected increaseddecreased gross profit during the current year period compared to the prior year period, despite increased revenues, due to a shift in revenue mix away from smaller, capital constrained customers towards larger operators with stronger balance sheets. The costs to demobilize from one customer to mobilize for another within the increase insame period had a meaningful impact on profitability. In addition, we reflected decreased revenues and improving customer pricing levels. However, customer pricing continues to be challenging due to excess availability of equipment inprofit from certain markets. The increase in gross profithigh-margin projects performed during the currentprior year period was despite the impact of a $2.9 million long-lived asset impairment. The Water & Flowback Services Division continues to monitor its cost structure, minimizing increasedperiod. We also experienced high maintenance costs despite increasing activity levels, and looking to capture additional synergieson our flowback service equipment following the SwiftWater acquisition.significant activity experienced in the fourth quarter of 2018, which was our highest flowback service revenue quarter in over three years.
 
The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreased pretax income compared to a pretax loss during the prior year period, primarily due to the improvementdecrease in gross profit described above. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the acquired SwiftWater operations, withincreased bad debt expense of $0.5 million, increased wage and benefit related expenses of $5.1$0.4 million, and increased general expenses of $0.6$0.2 million, and increasedoffset by decreased professional fees of $0.3 million. Other expense,The Water & Flowback Services Division reported other income, net, was recorded during the current year period compared to other expense during the prior year period primarily due to $3.7$0.8 million of increased expensecurrent year period income associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater and increased foreign currency losses of $0.2 million.compared to a corresponding $3.7 million expense during the prior year period.

Compression Division revenues increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $59.4$32.0 million increase in product sales revenues due toand a higher number of new compressor equipment sales compared to the prior year period. Demand for new compressor equipment continues to improve, and the current equipment sales backlog has increased significantly compared to the prior year period. Cumulative new equipment sales orders added to our backlog during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 were $169 million. New equipment sales orders generally take less than 12 months to build and deliver. In addition, current year revenues reflect a $28.8$20.6 million increase in service revenues from compression and aftermarket services operations. ThisDemand for new compressor equipment remains strong, although the current equipment sales backlog has decreased compared to the prior year period, due to significant sales orders recorded in the prior year period. Changes in our new equipment sales backlog are a function of additional customer orders less completed orders that result in equipment sales revenues. The increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compressorcompression fleet utilization rates. Overall utilization of the Compression Division's compressorcompression fleet has improved sequentially for the past two year period, led by increased utilization of the high- and medium-horsepower fleet.


Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year due to increased revenues discussed above. This increase was despite a $3.3 million charge for the impairment and other charges on certain low-horsepower compressor equipment and associated inventory and damage caused by fire to a certain compressor package during the current year period. The increased compressorcompression fleet utilization rates have led to increases in customer contract pricing.


The Compression Division recorded an increasedless pretax loss despitein the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense increased compared to the prior year period due to higher CCLP outstanding CCLP debt balances and a higher interest rate fromon the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, issued in March 2018, when compareda portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay the balance outstanding under the previous CCLP Bank Credit Facility. Increased interest expense is expected to continue compared to the prior year periods. In addition, other (income) expense, net, reflected an increased expense primarily due to $3.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings as a result of the termination of the previous CCLP Bank Credit Facility. In addition, the Series A Preferred fair value adjustment resulted in a charge to earnings during the current year period compared to abank credit to earnings in the prior year period.facility. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year period, due to increased bad debt expense of $1.5 million andincreased salary and employee-related expenses, including the impact of increased headcount, incentives and equity compensation of $2.3$1.3 million, and increased otherprofessional services of $0.9 million. These increases were offset by decreased general expenses of $0.2 million. In addition, other expense decreased $2.7 million compared to prior year period. This decrease in expense is primarily due to $3.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs charged to other expense as a result of the termination of the previous credit agreement in the prior year period and decreased foreign currency losses of $0.6 million. These decreases in expense were offset by increased expense of $1.5 million and $0.2 million of increased sales and marketing expenses.redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash. The last remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units were redeemed for cash on August 8, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
    
We reported a decrease in consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2018 compared to the corresponding prior year period. This decrease occurred despite the improved profitability of our operations, due to increased working capital needs largely due to the timing of payments of accounts payable. CCLP generated $6.5 million of our consolidated operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $24.6 million during the prior year period. We received $9.0 million of cash distributions from CCLP during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $11.3 million during the corresponding prior year period. We believe that the capital structure steps we have taken during the past three years continue to support our ability to meet our financial obligations and fund future growth as needed, despite current uncertain operating conditions and financial markets. WeAs of September 30, 2019, we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective debt agreements. Information about the terms and covenants of debt agreements as of September 30, 2018.can be found in our 2018 Annual Report.

Our consolidated sources and uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

Because of the level of consolidated debt, we believe it is important to consider our capital structure and CCLP's capital structure separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt. (See Financing Activities section below for a discussion of the terms of our and CCLP's respective debt arrangements.) Our consolidated debt outstanding has a carrying value of approximately $822.9$858.3 million as of September 30, 2018.2019. However, approximately $632.5$645.6 million of this consolidated debt balance is owed by CCLP and is serviced from the existing cash balances and cash flows of CCLP, $343.1and $354.5 million of which is secured by certain of CCLP's assets. Through our common unit ownership interest in CCLP, which was approximately 36%34% as of September 30, 2018,2019, and ownership of an approximately 1.5%approximate 1.4% general partner interest, we receive our share of the distributable cash flows of CCLP through its quarterly cash distributions. Approximately $26.2$15.3 million of the $53.9$35.9 million of the cash balance reflected on our consolidated

See TETRA Long-Term Debt section below for further discussion. Following the issuance of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, CCLP used a portion of the proceeds to repay the borrowings outstanding under CCLP's previous bank revolving credit facility, which was then terminated. In June 2018, CCLP entered into the CCLP New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2018,2019, and subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings under the CCLP New Credit Agreement, CCLP had availability of $23.3$7.8 million.

CCLP generated $67.8 million of our consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2018ended September 30, 2019 compared to $36.8$6.5 million during the corresponding prior year period, a decreaseof $35.2 million.period. Operating cash flows decreased despiteincreased due to improved operating profitability and due to the use of cash for working capital changes,management, particularly related to the management of inventory levels, collections of accounts receivable, and the timing of payments of accounts payable. We have taken steps to aggressively manage working capital, including increased collection efforts. We continue to monitor customer credit risk in the current environment and have historically focusedfocus on serving larger capitalized oil and gas operators and national oil companies.

Demand for the vast majority of our products and services is driven by oil and gas industry activity, which is impacted by oil and natural gas commodity prices. With the increase in crude oil prices in early 2018, operating plans and capital expenditure levels of many of our oil and natural gas customers have increased, benefiting certain of our operating segments with improved revenues and cash flows. The acquisition of SwiftWater provided additional revenues and operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and is expected to continue to do so going forward. Growth in completion activity compared to early 2017 has resulted in improved cash provided by operating activities of our Water & Flowback Services Division. The increased capital expenditure activity of our Compression Division customers has resulted in increased demand for compression services and equipment, and increased revenues of our Compression Division. However, oil and natural gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile in the future, and if oil and gas industry activity levels decrease in the future, we expect that our levels of operating cash flows will be negatively affected. During early 2018, and despite increasing activity levels, our goal has been to minimize growth to our operating and administrative headcount and continue to maintain a low cost structure for our businesses.

As part of the sale of our Offshore Division in March 2018, Orinoco assumed all liabilities and obligations currently associated with our former Maritech subsidiary, including but not limited to all current and future decommissioning obligations related to properties owned or formerly owned by our Maritech subsidiary prior to its purchase by Orinoco.


Investing Activities
 
During the first nine months of 2018, the total amount of our net cash utilized for investing activities was $145.5 million. The acquisition of SwiftWater included initial cash purchase consideration of $42.0 million, plus $1.0 million which was subsequently paid in August 2018 as a working capital adjustment. Total cashcapital expenditures during the first nine months of 20182019 were $107.1$89.2 million. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division spent $3.0$5.2 million on capital expenditures, during the first nine months of 2018, the majority of which related to plant and facility additions. Our Water & Flowback Services Division spent $23.6$22.4 million on capital expenditures, primarily to add to its water management equipment fleet. Our Compression Division spent $77.0$61.3 million, primarily for growth capital expenditure projects to increase its compression fleet.


Generally, a majority of our planned capital expenditures has been related to identified opportunities to grow and expand certain of our existing businesses. However, certain of these planned expenditures have been,

and may continue to be, postponed or canceled as we are reviewing all capital expenditure plans carefully in an effort to conserve cash. We currently have no long-term capital expenditure commitments. The deferral of capital projects could affect our ability to expand our operations in the future. Excluding our Compression Division, we expect to spend approximately $40$25.0 million to $50$30.0 million during 20182019 on capital expenditures, primarily to expand our

water management services Water & Flowback Services Division equipment fleet.

Our Compression Division expects to spend approximately $110$80.0 million to $120$85.0 million on capital expenditures during 20182019 primarily to expand its compressorcompression fleet in response to increased demand for compression services. The levelOur Compression Division, through the separate capital structure of futureCCLP, expects to fund 2019 growth capital expenditures depends on forecasted demand for our productsnew compression services equipment through CCLP available cash, operating cash flows, and services. up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment that is being purchased by us, and leased to CCLP. Approximately $14.6 million of the $15.0 million has been funded as of September 30, 2019.

If the forecasted demand for our products and services during 2018 increases or decreases, the amount of planned expenditures on growth and expansion may be adjusted.
 
Financing Activities 
 
During the first nine months of 2018,2019, the total amount of consolidated cash provided by financing activities was $170.6$11.5 million, consisting primarily of the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. We entered into theborrowings under our ABL Credit Agreement and our Term Credit Agreement, a portion of which were used to repay all outstanding borrowings and obligations under our then existing Bank Credit Agreement and all outstanding indebtedness under the 11% Senior Notes and will fund future capital and working capital requirements. Prior to it being terminated as part of the September 2018 debt restructuring, borrowings under our Bank Credit Agreement were primarily used to fund the purchase of SwiftWater. CCLP issued the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, a portion of which was used to repay the CCLP Bank Credit Facility and will provide additional funding for future capital expenditures.Agreement. We and CCLP may supplement our existing cash balances and cash flow from operating activities with short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, leases, issuances of equity and debt securities, and other sources of capital. CCLP expects to meet its growth capital expenditure requirements during the remainder of 2019 without having to access additional available borrowings under its credit agreement (the "CCLP Credit Agreement") and without having to access the current debt and equity markets. CCLP may also seek to expand its compression fleet through finance or operating leases with third parties. We and CCLP are aggressively managing our working capital and capital expenditure needs in compliance with all covenants oforder to maximize our respective credit and debt agreements as of September 30, 2018.liquidity in the current environment.

TETRA Long-Term Debt


Asset-Based Credit Agreement. On September 10, 2018, TETRA, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as loan parties and guarantors, entered into an asset-based lending Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (collectively, the "ABL Lenders"). The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of TETRA’s and any other borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable, and contains within the facility a letter of credit sublimit of $20.0 million and a swingline loan sublimit of $10.0 million. The ABL Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2023. As of November 7, 2018,6, 2019, we have $15.0$27.0 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Agreement and $6.1$6.8 million letters of credit.credit, resulting in $30.0 million of availability.

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) London InterBank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, two, three or six months (as selected by TETRA) plus a margin based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio or (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on a fixed charge coverage ratio. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest as announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. Initially, from September 10, 2018 until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, LIBOR-based loans have an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum and base-rate loans have an applicable margin of 1.0% per annum. Thereafter, the applicable margin will range between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.75% to 1.25% per annum for base-rate loans, based upon the applicable fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the ABL Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at an applicable rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% per annum, paid monthly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement. TETRA will also be required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR-based loans and fronting fees.

The revolving loans under the ABL Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to applicable breakage fees. The maturity date of the ABL Facility is September 10, 2023.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other

fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness, and the sale of assets. The ABL Credit Agreement also contains a provision that may require a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 in the event that certain conditions associated with outstanding borrowings and cash availability occur. As of September 30, 2018, such conditions have not occurred. All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the ABL Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain subsidiaries, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, including CCLP, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The ABL Credit Agreement includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control.

Proceeds of loans under the ABL Credit Agreement were used to pay certain debt of TETRA existing on the effective date of the ABL Credit Agreement and may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The ABL Credit Agreement replaced our previous Bank Credit Agreement, as defined and discussed in further detail below.

Term Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2018, TETRA, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the “Term Lenders”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent..    The Term Credit Agreement provides for an initial loan in the amount of $200 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and the availability of additional loans, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $75 million (the “Additionalmillion. The Term Loans,” and together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”).Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2025. As of November 7, 2018, $200.06, 2019, $220.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Term Credit Agreement is outstanding.

Borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for an interest period equal to one, three or six months (as selected by TETRA) plus a margin of 6.25% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the rate of interest as set forth in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the largest U.S. banks announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as its prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) plus 0.5% per annum and (c) LIBOR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Term Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at the rate of 1.0% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the Term Credit Agreement.

The Term Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries to take certain actions including, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, engaging in mergers and other fundamental changes, the making of investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, the payment of dividends and other restricted payments, the prepayment of other indebtedness, and the sale of assets. The Term Credit Agreement also contains a requirement that the borrowers comply at the end of each fiscal quarter with a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2018, TETRA is in compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio requirement.

All obligations under the Term Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the Term Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain subsidiaries, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, including CCLP, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The Term Credit Agreement includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material

indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control.

Proceeds from the Initial Term Loan, net of a 2% discount in the amount of $4.0 million, were used to prepay the outstanding indebtedness under the $125,000,000 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due November 5, 2022 (the “11.0% Senior Notes”) and indebtedness of TETRA under our existing Bank Credit Agreement discussed below. Proceeds of any Additional Term Loans may be used for acquisitions, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement. The loans under the Term Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part, subject to applicable breakage fees. Any prepayment prior to the one-year anniversary is subject to a “make-whole” payment as set forth in the Term Credit Agreement. Thereafter, any prepayment during the period commencing after the one-year anniversary and ending on the two-year anniversary will have a premium of 3.0% and during the period commencing after the two-year anniversary and ending on the three-year anniversary, a premium of 1.0%. The maturity date of the Term Credit Agreement is September 10, 2025. There is no prepayment premium required after the third anniversary.

Bank Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2018, in connection with the closing of the above-described loans, TETRA repaid all outstanding borrowings and obligations under our then existing Bank Credit Agreement with a portion of the net proceeds from the above-described loans, and terminated the existing Bank Credit Agreement. Certain ABL Lenders were lenders under the existing Bank Credit Agreement and, accordingly, received a portion of the proceeds from the above-described loans in connection with the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the existing Bank Credit Agreement.

11% Senior Note
On September 10, 2018, in connection with the closing of the above-described loans, TETRA repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the 11% Senior Note with a portion of the proceeds from the above-described loans, terminating its obligations under the 11% Senior Note. Affiliates of certain Term Lenders were holders of the 11% Senior Note and, accordingly, received a portion of the proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement in connection with the repayment of the outstanding indebtedness under the 11% Senior Note. In connection with the early termination of the 11% Senior Note, TETRA paid $7.0 million of "make-whole" prepayment fee in accordance with the terms of the 11% Senior Note.
    
CCLP Financing Activities


In March 2018, CCLP issued an aggregate $350.0 million of its CCLP Senior Secured Notes, and the net proceeds of $342.7 million were partially used to repay the remaining outstanding balance of $258.0 million under the CCLP Bank Credit Facility, which was then terminated. See below for a further discussion of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes. The remaining proceeds are being used to fund CCLP capital expenditures, including the increasing capital expenditures mentioned above that are needed in order to grow and maintain the capacity of CCLP's compressor and equipment fleet, as well as for general partnership needs.

On August 8, 2016 and September 20, 2016,In January 2019, CCLP entered into Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreements (the “Unit Purchase Agreements”) with certain purchasers with regard to its issuance and sale in two private placements (the "Initial Private Placement" and "Subsequent Private Placement," respectively) of an aggregate of 6,999,126 of CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in CCLP (the “CCLP Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”), resulting in total 2016 net proceeds, after deducting certain offering expenses, of approximately $77.3 million. We purchased 874,891 ofbegan redeeming the remaining CCLP Preferred Units atfor cash, resulting in 2,660,569 Preferred Units being redeemed during the aggregate Issue Pricenine months ended September 30, 2019 for $31.9 million, which includes approximately $1.5 million of $10.0 million.

In connection with the closingredemption premium that was paid. The last redemption of the Initial Private Placement, CSI Compressco GP Inc (our wholly owned subsidiary) executed the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement to, among other things, authorize and establish the rights and preferences of the CCLP Preferred Units. The CCLP Preferred Units are a new class of equity security that rank senior to all classes or series of equity securities of CCLP with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. We and the other holders of CCLP Preferred Units (each, a “CCLP

Preferred Unitholder”) receive quarterly distributions, which are paid in kind in additional CCLP Preferred Units, equal to an annual rate of 11.00% of the Issue Price ($1.2573 per unit annualized) of theremaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units, subject to certain adjustments. The rights of the CCLP Preferred Units include certain anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for economic dilution resulting from the issuance of common units in the future below a set price.

A ratable portion of the CCLP Preferred Units has been, and will continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of each month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 (each, a “Conversion Date”), subject to certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement that may delay or accelerate all or a portion of such monthly conversions. On each Conversion Date, a portion of the CCLP Preferred Units will convert into CCLP common units representing limited partner interests in CCLP in an amount equal to, with respect to each CCLP Preferred Unitholder, the number of CCLP Preferred Units held by such CCLP Preferred Unitholder divided by the number of Conversion Dates remaining, subject to adjustment described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement, with the conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined by the trading prices of the common units over the prior month, among other factors, and as otherwise impacted by the existence of certain conditions related to the CCLP common units. The maximum aggregate number of CCLP common units that could be required to be issued pursuant to the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units is potentially unlimited; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and CCLP common units, to the CCLP Preferred Unitholders instead of issuing CCLP common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement and the CCLP New Credit Agreement (defined below). Including the impact of paid in kind distributions of CCLP Preferred Units and conversions of CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units, the total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of September 30, 2018 was 3,623,950, of which we held 455,127.

Because the CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity." The fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units as of September 30, 2018 was $36.9 million. Changes in the fair value during each quarterly period, if any, are charged or credited to earnings in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Charges or credits to earnings for changes in the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units, along with the interest expense for the accrual anda final cash payment made in lieu of paid-in-kind distributions associated with the CCLP Preferred Units are non-cash charges and credits associated with the CCLP Preferred Units.occurred on August 8, 2019.


In addition, the CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements include certain provisions regarding change of control, transfer of CCLP Preferred Units, indemnities, and other matters. The CCLP Unit Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of CCLP and the purchasers.

CCLP Bank Credit Facilities. On June 29, 2018,The CCLP and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "CCLP Borrowers"), and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries named therein as guarantors (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement, Guarantors"), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "CCLP New Credit Agreement") with the lenders thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent, letter of credit issuer, and swing line lender.

Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CCLP New Credit Agreement.

The As of September 30, 2019, CCLP Borrowers may borrow funds underhad $11.5 million outstanding balance and had $3.0 million in letters of credit against the CCLP New Credit Agreement to pay fees and expenses related to theAgreement.

Initially, from June 29, 2018 until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, LIBOR-based loans will have an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum and base-rate loans will have an applicable margin of 1.00% per annum; thereafter, the applicable margin will range between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.75% and 1.25% per annum for base-rate loans, according to average daily excess availability when financial statements are delivered. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the CCLP New Credit Agreement, the CCLP Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, initially at the rate of 0.375% per annum until the delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and thereafter at the applicable rate ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the CCLP New Credit Agreement. The CCLP Borrowers are also required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on revolving credit LIBOR loans and fronting fees.borrowing base.

The CCLP New Credit Agreement also contains a provision that may require a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the CCLP New Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 in the event that certain conditions associated with outstanding borrowings and cash availability occur. As of September 30, 2018, such conditions have not occurred.

All obligations under the CCLP New Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first priority security interest for the benefit of the Lenders in the CCLP Borrowers’ and the CCLP New Credit Agreement Guarantors’ present and future accounts receivable, inventory and related assets, and proceeds of the foregoing.

CCLP Senior Secured Notes. On March 8, 2018, CCLP entered into the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representative of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the CCLP Issuers agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Issuers’ 7.50% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (the "CCLP Senior Secured Notes") (the "CCLP Offering") pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As of November 7, 2018,5, 2019, $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.50% Senior Secured Notes arewas outstanding.

The CCLP Issuers closed the Offering on March 22, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes were issued at par for net proceeds of approximately $342.7 million, after deducting certain financing costs. CCLP used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full and terminate CCLP's existing bank Credit Agreement and plans to use the remainder for general partnership purposes, including the expansion of its compression fleet. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed (the "Guarantees" and, together with the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, the "CCLP Senior Secured Note Securities") on a senior secured basis initially by each of CCLP's domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance Inc., certain immaterial subsidiaries and certain other excluded domestic subsidiaries) and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the CCLP Issuers' and the Guarantors' assets (other than certain excluded assets, including the collateral of the CCLP New Credit Agreement) (the "Collateral") as collateral security for their obligations under the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, subject to certain permitted encumbrances and exceptions. On the closing date, we entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee with respect to the CCLP Senior Secured Note Securities. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum. Interest on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1annum and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2018. The CCLP Senior Secured

If CCLP experiences certain kinds of changes of control, each holder of CCLP Senior Secured Notes will be entitled to require us to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that holder’s CCLP Senior Secured Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. CCLP will offer to make a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Moreover, if the CCLP Senior Secured Notes receive an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies and no default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture will be terminated. The Indenture also contains customary events of default and acceleration provisions relating to such events of default, which provide that upon an event of default under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding CCLP Senior Secured Notes may declare all of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.


On March 22, 2018, CCLP, the grantors named therein, the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as the collateral trustee (the “Collateral Trustee”), entered into a collateral trust agreement (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”) pursuant to which the Collateral Trustee will receive, hold, administer, maintain, enforce and distribute the proceeds of all of its liens upon the Collateral for the benefit of the current and future holders of the CCLP Senior Secured Notes and any future priority lien obligations, if any.

The obligations under the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes (the "CCLP Senior Notes") are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of CCLP’s domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than CSI Compressco Finance) that guarantee CCLP’s other indebtedness (the "Guarantors" and together with the Issuers, the "Obligors"). The CCLP Senior Notes and the subsidiary guarantees thereof (together, the "CCLP Senior Note Securities") were issued pursuant to an indenture described below. As of November 7, 2018,5, 2019, $295.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the CCLP Senior Notes arewas outstanding.

The Obligors issued the CCLP Senior Note Securities pursuant to the Indenture dated as of August 4, 2014 (the "CCLP Senior Note Indenture") by and among the Obligors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee").

Other Sources and Uses


In addition to the various aforementioned credit facilities and senior notes, we and CCLP fund our respective short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash generated by our respective operations leases, and from short-term vendor financing. Should additional capital be required, we believe that we have the ability to raise such capital through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. However, instabilitysecurities may currently be limited. Instability or volatility in the capital markets at the times we need to access capital may also affect the cost of capital and the ability to raise capital for an indeterminable length of time.
TETRA's ABL Credit Agreement matures in September 2023, TETRA's Term Credit Agreement matures in September 2025, the CCLP Senior Notes mature in August 2022, the CCLP Senior Secured Notes mature in March 2025, and the CCLP New Credit Agreement matures in June 2023. The replacement of these capital sources at similar or more favorable terms is not certain. If it is necessary to issue additional equity to fund our capital needs, additional dilution to our common stockholders will occur.

Although near-term growth plans pursuant to our long-term growth strategy have resumed, they are being reviewed carefully and are subject to our continuing efforts to conserve cash. CCLP has also increased its growth capital expenditure activity in response to increased demand for compression services. CCLP's long-term growth objectives are funded from its available cash, other borrowings, and cash generated from the issuance of equity or debt securities.


On March 23, 2016,April 11, 2019, we filed a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. On April 13, 2016,May 1, 2019, the Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC. Pursuant to this registration statement, we have the ability to sell debt or equity securities in one or more public offerings up to an aggregate public offering price of $164.4 million.$464.1 million, inclusive of $64.1 million of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our currently outstanding warrants. This shelf registration statement currently provides us additional flexibility with regard to potential financings that we may undertake when market conditions permit or our financial condition may require.



As part of long-term strategic growth plans, we and CCLP evaluate opportunities to acquire businesses and assets that may require the payment of cash. Such acquisitions may be funded with existing cash balances, borrowings under credit facilities, or cash generated from the issuance of equity or debt securities.
The Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of CCLP requires that within 45 days after the end of each quarter, CCLP distribute all of its available cash, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, to its common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, CCLP distributed $22.9$1.4 million in cash, including $13.9$0.9 million to its public unitholders. The amount ofunitholders, reflecting the reduction in quarterly distributions is determined based on a variety of factors, including estimates of CCLP's cash needs to fund its future operating, investing, and debt services requirements.announced previously by CCLP in December 2018. There can be no assurance that quarterly distributions from CCLP will increase from this amount per unit or that there will not be future decreases in the amount of distributions going forward.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

We adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The new lease standard had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, resulting from the inclusion of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note A - "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and Note K - “Leases” for further discussion.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation
 
We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

On March 18, 2011, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit CourtContingencies of Union County, Arkansas, asserting claims of professional negligence, breach of contract and other claims against the engineering firm we hired for engineering design, equipment, procurement, advisory, testing and startup services for our El Dorado, Arkansas chemical production facility. The engineering firm disputed our claims and promptly filed a motion to compel the matter to arbitration. After a lengthy procedural dispute in Arkansas state court, arbitration proceedings were initiated on November 15, 2013. Ultimately, on December 16, 2016, the arbitration panel ruled in our favor, declared us as the prevailing party, and awarded us a total net amount of $12.8 million. We received full payment of the $12.8 million final award on January 5, 2017.Discontinued Operations

Other Contingencies
During 2011, in connection with the sale of a significant majority of Maritech's oil and gas producing properties, the buyers of the properties assumed the associated decommissioning liabilities pursuant to the purchase and sale agreements. In Marchearly 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech's remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of the Maritech Properties. Also in March 2018, we finalized the Maritech Equity Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinocoall of the Maritech Equity Interests.outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the businessesbusiness of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments andsegment.

Under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's remaining abandonmentMaritech’s decommissioning liabilities related to the leases sold to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the decommissioning obligations. For further discussion, see Note D - "Acquisitionsliabilities associated with the oil and Dispositions,"gas properties previously sold by Maritech (the “Legacy Liabilities”), subject to certain limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to satisfy decommissioning liabilities associated with any of the Orinoco Lease Liabilities or the Legacy Liabilities, we may be required to satisfy such liabilities under third party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees that we previously provided to the US Department of the Interior and other parties, respectively.

Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech (the “Initial Bonds”) and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the Initial Bonds with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the Notesaggregate sum of $47.0 million (collectively, the “Interim Replacement Bonds”). Orinoco further agreed to Consolidated Financial Statements.replace, within 180 days following the closing, the Interim Replacement Bonds with a maximum of three non-revocable performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million, meeting certain requirements (the “Final Bonds”). Among the other requirements of the Final Bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. In the event Orinoco does not provide the Interim Replacement Bonds or the Final Bonds, Orinoco is required to make certain cash escrow payments to us.

The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and it has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which dismissed our present claims against Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement and against the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. We believe this judgment should not have been granted and have begun the process of appealing it. The Initial Bonds, which are non-revocable, remain in effect.

If we become liable in the future for any decommissioning liability associated with any property covered by either an Initial Bond or an Interim Replacement Bond while such bonds are outstanding and the payment made to us under such bond is not sufficient to satisfy such liability, the Bonding Agreement provides that Orinoco will pay us an amount equal to such deficiency and if Orinoco fails to pay any such amount, such amount must be paid by the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. However, if the Final Bonds or the full amount of the escrowed cash have been provided, neither Orinoco nor the Clarkes would be liable to pay us for any such deficiency. Our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected if Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or if we become liable for a significant portion of the decommissioning liabilities.

In early 2018, we also closed the sale of our Offshore Division to Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC). Part of the consideration we received was a promissory note of Epic Companies in the original principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the Offshore Division totaling approximately $1.5 million were payable to us. At the end of August 2019, Epic Companies filed for bankruptcy. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, we recorded a reserve of $7.5 million for the full amount of the promissory note including accrued interest, and certain other receivables in


the amount of $1.5 million at September 30, 2019. We continue to monitor this matter and seek to vigorously pursue our rights to collect all amounts payable to us, including the amounts owed under the Epic Promissory Note when due, including by enforcing our rights under the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement.

We have estimated the timing of these paymentsfor asset retirement obligation liabilities based upon our plans. The amounts shown represent the discounted obligation as of September 30, 2019.
(2)
Amounts exclude other long-term liabilities reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet that do not have known payment streams. These excluded amounts include approximately$1.20.8 million of liabilities under FASB Codification Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of tax settlements. These excluded amounts also include approximately$36.9 million of liabilities related to the CCLP Series A Convertible Preferred Units. The preferred units are expected to be serviced and satisfied with non-cash paid-in-kind distributions and conversions to CCLP common units. See "Note G – CCLP Series A Convertible Preferred Units," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have described in the 2018 Annual Report significant risk factors and periodically update those risks for material developments. Provided below is an update to our risk factors as previously disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report.

We have continuing exposure to decommissioning liabilities associated with oil and gas properties previously owned by Maritech.
From 2001 to 2012, Maritech sold various oil and gas producing properties in numerous transactions to different buyers. In connection with those sales, the buyers generally assumed the decommissioning liabilities associated with the properties sold (the "Legacy Liabilities") and generally became the successor operator. In some cases, Maritech retained certain liabilities and we provided guaranties of Maritech’s retained liabilities. Some buyers of these Maritech properties subsequently sold certain of these properties to other buyers, who also assumed the financial responsibilities associated with the properties' operations, including decommissioning liabilities, and these buyers also typically became the successor operator of the properties. To the extent that a buyer of these properties fails to perform the decommissioning work required, a previous owner, including Maritech, may be required to perform operations to satisfy the decommissioning liabilities. As a result of the third-party indemnity agreements and corporate guaranties we have previously provided to the US Department of the Interior and to other private third-parties as the former parent company of Maritech, we may be responsible for satisfying these decommissioning obligations if they are not satisfied by the current owners and operators of the properties or by Maritech. Significant decommissioning liabilities that were assumed by the buyers of the Maritech properties in these previous sales remain unperformed. If oil and natural gas pricing levels continue to be depressed or further deteriorate, one or more of these buyers may be unable to perform the decommissioning work required on a property previously owned by Maritech. If these buyers, or any successor owners of the Maritech properties, are unable to satisfy and extinguish their decommissioning liabilities due to bankruptcy or other liquidity issues, the US Department of the Interior may seek to impose those decommissioning obligations on Maritech and on us due to our third party

Thereindemnity agreements, and contractual commitments and guaranties issued from time to time by us to the US Department of the Interior and various third parties. The amount of cash necessary to satisfy these obligations could be significant and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In March 2018, pursuant to a series of transactions, Maritech sold the remaining offshore leases held by Maritech to Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") and, immediately thereafter, we sold all equity interest in Maritech to Orinoco. The assignments for six of the offshore leases conveyed to Orinoco have not been approved by the US Department of the Interior and Maritech remains an owner of record for these leases. Maritech also remains a recognized operator of a portion of four other offshore properties. Under the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's decommissioning liabilities related to the leases conveyed to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the Legacy Liabilities, subject to limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement executed in connection with such purchase agreements, Orinoco provided non-revocable bonds in the aggregate amount of approximately $46.8 million to secure the performance of certain of Maritech’s decommissioning obligations related to the Orinoco Lease Liabilities and certain of Maritech’s remaining current decommissioning obligations (not including the Legacy Liabilities). Orinoco was required to replace, within 90 days and then 180 following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain additional requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million or make cash escrow payments. Among the other requirements of the final replacement bonds was that they must provide coverage for all of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech instead of only relating to specific properties. The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement are guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and neither it nor the Clarkes has made any of the escrow payments required pursuant to the terms of the Bonding Agreement. We filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which has the effect of dismissing our present claims for the replacement bonds and the escrow payments provided for in the Bonding Agreement. We believe this judgment should not have been no materialgranted and we have begun the process of appealing it. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect.
If in the future we become liable for decommissioning liabilities associated with any property covered by either an initial bond or stage 1 permanent bond, the Bonding Agreement provides that if we call any of the initial bonds or the stage 1 permanent bonds to satisfy such liability and the amount of the bond payment is not sufficient to pay for such liability, Orinoco will pay us for the additional amount required. To the extent Orinoco is unable to cover any such deficiency or we become liable for a significant portion of the Legacy Liabilities, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

Possible changes in the informationUS Department of Interior's supplemental bonding and financial assurance requirements may increase our risks associated with the decommissioning obligations pertaining to our Risk Factors as disclosedoil and gas properties previously owned by Maritech.

Recent and additional anticipated changes to the supplemental bonding and financial assurance program managed by the US Department of the Interior could require all oil and gas owners and operators with infrastructure in our Form 10-Kthe Gulf of Mexico to provide additional supplemental bonds or other acceptable financial assurance for decommissioning liabilities. These changes have the potential to adversely impact the financial condition of lease owners and operators in the Gulf of Mexico and increase the number of such owners and operators seeking bankruptcy protection, given current oil and gas prices. In July 2016, the US Department of the Interior issued a Notice to Lessees and Operators (“2016 NTL”) that strengthened requirements for the year ended December 31, 2017.posting of additional financial assurance by offshore lease owners and operators to assure that sufficient security is available to satisfy and extinguish decommissioning obligations with respect to offshore wells, platforms, pipelines and other facilities. The 2016 NTL, which became effective in September 2016, eliminated the past practice of waiving supplemental bonding requirements where lease owners or operators, or their guarantors, could demonstrate a certain level of financial strength. Instead, under the 2016 NTL, the US Department of the Interior will allow lease owners and operators to "self-insure," but only up to 10% of their "tangible net worth," which is defined as the difference between a company’s total assets and the value of all liabilities and intangible assets. It is unclear how this self-insurance allowance relates to lease owners or operators with a guarantor presently in place. In addition, the 2016 NTL is being held in abeyance by the US Department of the Interior, which creates additional and significant uncertainty for Gulf of Mexico lease owners and operators and for us through the third party indemnity agreements

we have provided for Maritech liabilities to the US Department of the Interior and/or to third parties through our private guarantees.

The US Department of the Interior also recently increased its estimates for decommissioning liabilities in the Gulf of Mexico, causing the potential need for additional supplemental bonding and/or other financial assurances to be dramatically increased. When coupled with the volatile and currently low prices of oil and gas, it is difficult to predict the impact of the rule and regulatory changes already promulgated and as may be forthcoming by the US Department of the Interior relating to financial assurance for decommissioning liabilities. The US Department of the Interior's revisions to its supplemental bonding process could result in demands for the posting of increased financial assurances by owners and operators in the Gulf of Mexico, including Maritech, Orinoco and the other entities to whom Maritech divested its Gulf of Mexico assets, but such demands cannot be directly placed on us due to the fact that we are only a former parent company of Maritech and are only a guarantor as opposed to an actual lease owner or operator. This may force lease owners and operators of leases and other infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico to obtain surety bonds or other forms of financial assurance, the costs of which could be significant. Moreover, recent and anticipated changes to the bonding and financial assurance program for the Gulf of Mexico are likely to result in the loss of supplemental bonding waivers for a large number of lease owners and operators of infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico, which will in turn force these owners and operators to seek additional surety bonds which could exceed the surety bond market’s ability to provide such additional financial assurance. Lease owners and operators who have already leveraged their assets could face difficulty obtaining surety bonds because of concerns the surety may have about the priority of their liens on their collateral as well as the creditworthiness of such lease owners and operators. Consequently, anticipated changes to the bonding and financial assurance program could result in additional lease owners and operators in the Gulf of Mexico initiating bankruptcy proceedings, which in turn could result in the US Department of the Interior seeking to impose decommissioning costs on predecessors in interest and providers of third party indemnity agreements in the event that the current lease owners and/or operators cannot meet their decommissioning obligations. As a result, this could increase the risk that we may be required to step in and satisfy remaining decommissioning liabilities of Maritech and any buyer of the Maritech properties, including Orinoco, through our third party indemnity agreements and private guarantees, which obligations could be significant and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are exposed to significant credit risks.
We face credit risk associated with the significant amounts of accounts receivable we have with our customers in the energy industry. Many of our customers, particularly those associated with our onshore operations, are small- to medium-sized oil and gas operators that may be more susceptible to declines in oil and gas commodity prices or generally increased operating expenses than larger companies. Our ability to collect from our customers is impacted by the current volatile oil and natural gas price environment.

As discussed in the preceding risk factors, we face the risk of having to satisfy decommissioning liabilities on properties presently or formerly owned by Maritech. Continued decreased oil and natural gas prices have resulted in reduced revenues and cash flows for oil and gas lease owners and operators, including companies that have purchased Maritech properties or are joint-owners in properties presently and formerly owned by Maritech and from whom Maritech is entitled to receive payments upon satisfaction of certain decommissioning obligations. Consequently, we face credit risk associated with the ability of these companies to satisfy their decommissioning liabilities. If these companies are unable to satisfy their obligations, it will increase the possibility that we will become liable for such decommissioning obligations in the future.
