2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The FASB issued the following applicable Accounting Standards Updates (ASU):

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

●Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the exceptions to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation in certain situations, requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for a change in the status of a foreign investment, and the general methodology for computing income taxes in an interim period when year-to date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments also simplify the accounting for income taxes with regard to franchise tax, evaluation of step up in the tax basis goodwill in certain business combinations, allocating current and deferred tax expense to legal entities that are not subject to tax and enacted change in tax laws or rates. The Company adopted these provisions in the second quarter of 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

●

ASU No. ~~2016-13,~~ 2020-04 —~~Financial Instruments —Credit Losses~~ Reference Rate Reform (Topic ~~326)~~848): ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.~~The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU introduced a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for recognition in place of the current incurred loss model. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard in the first quarter of 2020 specifically identified an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company plans to continue to record an allowance on its trade receivables based on aging at the end of each reporting period using current reasonable and supportable forecasted economic conditions. See Note 8 “Current Expected Credit Losses” for expanded disclosures.

●

~~ASU No. 2017-04~~ ~~—Intangibles —Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.~~ To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2020, on a prospective basis.

●

~~ASU No. 2018-15 —~~ ~~Intangibles —Goodwill and Other —Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.~~ The amendments ~~reduce~~in this ASU, provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the ~~complexity for~~impact of the ~~accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement~~reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments, which are elective, provide expedients to contract modifications, affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and ~~align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs~~hedging relationships that ~~are incurred in a hosting arrangement~~reference LIBOR or other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company will adopt these provisions when LIBOR is discontinued, and does not expect adoption to have a ~~service contract with the costs incurred to~~material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. REVENUES

Accounting Policy:

RPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from providing oilfield services. These services are based on mutually agreed upon pricing with the customer prior to the services being delivered and, given the nature of the services, do not include the right of return. Pricing for these services is a function of rates based on the nature of the specific job, with consideration for the extent of equipment, labor, and consumables needed for the job. RPC typically satisfies its performance obligations over time as the services are performed. RPC records revenues based on the transaction price agreed upon with its customers.

Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the consolidated statements of operations and therefore excluded from revenues.

Nature of services:

RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services to independent and major oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets. RPC manages its business as either (1) services offered on the well site with equipment and personnel (Technical Services) or (2) services and tools offered off the well site (Support Services). For more detailed information about operating segments, see Note 7.

RPC contracts with its customers to provide the following services by reportable segment:

Technical Services

●

~~Includes pressure pumping, downhole tools services, coiled tubing, nitrogen, snubbing and other oilfield related services including wireline, well control, fishing and pump down services.~~

●Includes pressure pumping, downhole tools services, coiled tubing, nitrogen, snubbing and other oilfield related services including wireline, well control, fishing and pump down services.

Support Services

●

~~Rental tools – RPC rents tools to its customers for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion and workover activities.~~

●

~~Other support services include oilfield pipe inspection services, pipe management and pipe storage; well control training and consulting.~~

●Rental tools – RPC rents tools to its customers for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion and workover activities.

●Other support services include oilfield pipe inspection services, pipe management and pipe storage; well control training and consulting.

Our contracts with customers are generally very short-term in nature and generally consist of a single performance obligation – the provision of oilfield services.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

Payment terms:

RPC’s contracts with customers state the final terms of the sales, including the description, quantity, and price of each service to be delivered. The Company’s contracts are generally short-term in nature and in most situations, RPC provides services ahead of payment - i.e., RPC has fulfilled the performance obligation prior to submitting a customer invoice. RPC invoices the customer upon completion of the specified services and collection generally occurs between 30 to 60 days after invoicing. As the Company enters into contracts with its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the services are provided to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is no financing component to our arrangements with customers.

Table of Contents

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Significant judgments:

RPC believes the output method is a reasonable measure of progress for the satisfaction of our performance obligations, which are satisfied over time, as it provides a faithful depiction of (1) our performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation under the contract and (2) the value transferred to the customer of the services performed under the contract. RPC has elected the right to invoice practical expedient for recognizing revenue related to its performance obligations.

Beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing during the second quarter, the oil and gas industry experienced an unprecedented disruption due to the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts as well as macroeconomic events such as the geopolitical tensions between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia, regarding limits on oil production. These factors resulted in a significant drop in oil prices and a substantial deterioration of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company determined these events constituted

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~a triggering event that required a review of the recoverability of its long-lived assets and performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020.~~

The Company used both income based and market based approaches to determine the fair value of its long-lived asset groups and its reporting units for goodwill impairment assessment. Under the income approach, the fair value for each of its asset groups and reporting units was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The Company used internal forecasts, updated for recent events, to estimate future cash flows and terminal value calculation, which incorporates historical and forecasted trends, including an estimate of long-term future growth rates, based on its most recent views of the long-term outlook for each asset group and reporting units. For the market based valuation, the Company used comparable public company multiples. The selection of comparable businesses was based on the markets in which the asset groups and reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. Based on the concluded fair value of the asset groups, the Company measured and recorded an impairment loss that represents the amount by which the asset groups' carrying amounts exceeded their fair value. For purposes of the goodwill impairment assessment, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its net book value and therefore, goodwill was deemed not impaired.

The Company recorded the following pre-tax charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 which are reflected in “Impairment and other charges” in the consolidated statements of operations:

The Company plans to continue to adjust its cost structure in accordance with its assessment of the operating environment. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, including crude oil prices further declining and remaining at low levels for a sustained period of time, the Company may record further asset impairments, or an impairment of the carrying value of goodwill.

7. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

RPC’s reportable segments are the same as its operating segments. RPC manages its business under Technical Services and Support Services. Technical Services is comprised of service lines that generate revenue based on equipment, personnel or materials at the well site and are closely aligned with completion and production activities of the customers. Support Services is comprised of service lines which generate revenue from services and tools offered off the well site and are more closely aligned with the customers’ drilling activities. Selected overhead including centralized support services and regulatory compliance are classified as Corporate.

Technical Services consists primarily of pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, snubbing, nitrogen, well control, wireline and fishing. The services offered under Technical Services are high capital and personnel intensive businesses. The Company considers all of these services to be closely integrated oil and gas well servicing businesses, and makes resource allocation and performance assessment decisions based on this operating segment as a whole across these various services.

Support Services consist primarily of drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, pipe inspection and storage services, and oilfield training and consulting services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions regarding, among others, staffing, growth and maintenance capital expenditures and key initiatives based on the operating segments outlined above.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those ~~described~~referenced in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements. RPC evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenues, operating profits and return on invested capital. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level. Inter-segment revenues are generally recorded in segment operating results at prices that management believes approximate prices for arm’s length transactions and are not material to operating results.

Summarized financial information with respect RPC’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 are shown in the following table:

8. CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

The Company adopted ASU No 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis with an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This ASU replaces the current loss model withutilizes an expected credit loss model for valuing its accounts receivable, a financial ~~assets~~asset measured at amortized ~~cost that includes accounts (trade) receivable.~~cost. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily from providing oilfield services. The Company’s expected credit loss allowance for accounts receivable is based on historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers’ account receivable balances. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the ~~estimate of~~estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of ~~customers'~~customers’ financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of current expected credit losses was not significantly impacted. Estimates used to determine the allowance for current expected credit losses are based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be ~~collected as of June 30, 2020:~~collected:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sales and Use Taxes - The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions and may be subjected to varying interpretations of statute that could result in unfavorable outcomes. In accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, any probable and reasonable estimate of assessment costs have been included in accrued state, local and other taxes.

The Company ~~did not make~~recently received a ~~contribution~~state tax notification of audit results related to sales and use tax on July 12, 2021. The Company and its outside legal counsel are currently evaluating the perceived merits of the tax assessment. The Company believes the likelihood of a material loss related to this ~~plan during~~contingency is remote and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Therefore, no loss has been recorded and the ~~six months ended June 30, 2020~~Company currently does not believe the resolution of this claim will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or ~~June 30, 2019.~~cash flows.

The Company permits selected highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their compensation into the non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The Company maintains certain securities in the SERP that have been classified as trading, and are stated at fair value totaling $27,520,000 as of June 30, 2020 and $28,476,000 as of December 31, 2019. The SERP assets are reported in non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value of these

The Company did not make a contribution to this plan during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.

In October 2020, the Company amended the Retirement Income Plan to add a limited lump-sum payment window for vested terminated participants who had terminated employment before July 1, 2020 and for active employees who reached age 59 ½ by December 1, 2020, with a vested balance. The participants could elect to receive their vested balance immediately as a lump-sum or by initiating a monthly annuity payment. The lump-sum payment window offering ended during the fourth quarter of 2020 and plan assets were used to fund participant elections. The resulting non-cash settlement charges represent the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses reflected in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI). A settlement loss of $4.7 million associated with the acceptance of these lump-sum payments was included as part of impairment and other charges during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Company permits selected highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their compensation into the non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The Company maintains certain securities primarily in mutual funds and company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies as a funding source to satisfy the obligation of the SERP that have been classified as trading, and are stated at fair value totaling $31,183,000 as of June 30, 2021 and $32,039,000 as of December 31, 2020. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $1,599,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to trading gains of approximately $4,029,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $2,070,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to trading losses of approximately $958,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The SERP assets are reported in non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value of these assets are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as compensation cost in selling, general and administrative expenses. ~~Trading gains (losses), net related to the SERP assets were approximately as follows:~~

Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized gains of approximately $1,703,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to unrealized gains of approximately $4,156,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized gains of approximately $2,290,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to unrealized losses of approximately $713,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

~~11.~~12. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company has a revolving ~~credit facility~~Credit Agreement with Bank of America and 54 other lenders which provides for a line of credit of up to ~~$125~~$100 million, including a $35 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $35 million swingline subfacility. The ~~revolving credit~~ facility contains customary terms and conditions, including restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. The revolving credit facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company's 100 percent owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain of the ~~Company's~~Company’s minor subsidiaries are not guarantors.

On The Credit Agreement’s maturity date is July 26, ~~2018,~~2023.

Table of Contents

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On September 25, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 45 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). ~~The~~This Amendment ~~among other matters, replaces~~(1) reduced the ~~existing~~maximum amount available for borrowing under the credit facility from $125 million to $100 million, (2) decreased the minimum tangible net worth covenant ~~with~~level from not less than $600 million to not less than $400 million, and (3) increased the margin spreads and commitment fees payable by RPC by 37.5 and 5 basis points, respectively, at each pricing level of the applicable rate without any changes to the leverage ratios used to calculate such spreads.

The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants: (i) when RPC’s trailing four quarter EBITDA (as calculated under the Credit Agreement) is equal to or greater than $50 million, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00, and (ii) otherwise, a minimum tangible net worth covenant of no less than $600 million. The Amendment additionally (1) extended the Credit Agreement maturity date from January 17, 2020 to July 26, 2023, (2) eliminated any borrowing base limitations on revolving loans when RPC’s trailing four quarter EBITDA ~~(as calculated under the Credit Agreement)~~ is ~~equal to or greater~~less than $50 million, ~~(3) reduced the commitment fees payable by RPC by 7.5 basis points at each pricing level and (4) reduced the letter~~a minimum tangible net worth of ~~credit sublimit from $50 million to $35~~no less than $400 million.

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Revolving loans under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at one of the following two rates at the Company’s election:

●

the Eurodollar Rate, which is the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”); plus, a margin ranging from ~~1.125%~~1.5% to ~~2.125%~~2.5%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation; or

●

the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America’s publicly announced “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%; in each case plus a margin that ranges from ~~0.125%~~0.5% to ~~1.125%~~1.5% based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation.

In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from ~~0.15%~~0.20% to ~~0.25%~~0.30%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation, on the unused portion of the credit facility.

The Company has incurred total loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with this revolving credit facility in the aggregate of approximately ~~$3.3~~$3.4 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan, and the remaining net balance of ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 is classified as part of non-current other assets.

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, RPC had 0 outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled ~~$19.8~~$17.9 million; therefore, a total of ~~$105.2~~$82.1 million of the facility was

~~12.~~13. INCOME TAXES

The Company generally determines its periodic income tax expense or benefit based upon the current period income or loss and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for discrete items including changes to prior period estimates. In certain instances the Company uses the discrete method when it believes the actual year-to-date effective rate provides a more reliable estimate of its income tax rate for the period. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the effective rate reflects a ~~benefit~~provision of ~~35.7~~4.8 percent compared to a ~~provision~~benefit of ~~29.6~~35.7 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the effective rate reflects a benefit of ~~28.0~~6.2 percent compared to a ~~provision~~benefit of ~~30.0~~28.0 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The beneficial effective tax rate for the current quarter reflects a net discrete provision totaling $2.1 million related primarily to revaluing certain deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2019 that are expected to be recognized in 2020.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted into law on March 27, 2020, provides the opportunity for a five-year carryback of net operating losses for the tax years ended 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Company expects to realize the benefit of its tax year 2019 net operating loss carryback to tax year 2014 where the tax rate was 35 percent and therefore, recognized a discrete tax benefit of $13.1 ~~million during the first quarter. In addition, the Company recorded a net discrete tax provision during the current quarter of~~ ~~$1.6 million and $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020~~is mainly related to ~~certain deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2019 that are expected~~the unfavorable permanent adjustments together with detrimental discrete adjustments related to ~~be recognized in 2020. The expected reversal of these deferred tax assets and liabilities are estimates based on available information at this time~~restricted stock vesting and the ~~Company expects to refine these estimates in subsequent quarters as better information becomes available.~~employee retention credit.

~~13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES~~

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

~~Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.~~

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

~~Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.~~

The Company determines the fair value of equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value through quoted market prices. The total fair value is the final closing price, as defined by the exchange in which the asset is actively traded, on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Marketable securities comprised of the SERP assets, ~~as described in Note 10,~~ are recorded primarily at their net cash surrender values, calculated using their net asset values, which approximates fair value, as provided by the issuing insurance or investment company. Significant observable inputs, in addition to quoted market prices, were used to value the trading securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of quarterly reporting periods. For the ~~period~~quarter ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there were no significant transfers in or out of levels 1, 2 or 3.

Under the Company’s revolving credit facility, there was no balance outstanding at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are typically based on the quote from the lender (level 2 inputs), which approximates fair value, and bear variable interest rates as described in Note 11. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on the variable component of the interest rate.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether it will elect this option for financial instruments acquired in the future.

The Company's real estate classified as held for sale has been stated at fair value less costs. The fair value measurement was based on observable market data that includes price per square foot involving comparable properties in similar locations.

As of January 1, 2019, the balance related to the cumulative unrealized gain on marketable securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income was reclassed upon adoption of ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-02, which provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) to retained earnings due to the change in the U.S. federal tax rate as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which took effect in January 2018. Accordingly, the Company elected to reclassify approximately $2.7 million of stranded tax effects related to its pension plan from AOCI to retained earnings.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page ~~28.~~26.

RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and in selected international locations. The Company’s revenues and profits are generated by providing equipment and services to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. We continuously monitor factors that impact current and expected customer activity levels, such as the ~~price~~prices of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our financial results are affected by geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, the actions of the OPEC oil cartel, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, and our customers’ drilling and production activities.

The discussion of our key business and financial strategies set forth under the Overview section in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 is incorporated herein by reference. In ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s strategy of utilizing equipment in unconventional basins has continued. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, capital expenditures totaled ~~$38.7~~$25.9 million, primarily for ~~new revenue-producing~~capitalized maintenance and upgrages of our existing equipment and ~~capitalized maintenance of our existing~~selected new revenue-producing equipment.

The oil and gas industry experienced an unprecedented disruption during ~~the latter part of~~ 2020 due to the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the combined impact of the OPEC disputes, and the COVID-19 pandemic that has continued ~~through~~during the second quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the United States, as federal, state and local governments have reacted to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the United States, as well as the global economy. RPC continued ~~its~~our regular operations during the period since ~~it functions~~we function as an essential infrastructure business in the energy sector under guidance issued by the Department of Homeland Security. In response to the pandemic, RPC instituted strict procedures to assess employee health and safety while in its facilities or on operational locations.

~~The second quarter of 2020 experienced even more drastic declines in oilfield drilling and completions, with revenues reflecting low levels not recorded by RPC or the industry for many years.~~ During the second quarter of 2020, the Company reduced headcount, furloughed employees and implemented compensation reductions for remaining active employees with the goal of adjusting its cost structure in response to expectations of low revenue levels.

~~During the second quarter of 2020,~~2021, revenues of ~~$89.3~~$188.8 million ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$269.2~~$99.5 million or ~~75.1~~111.4 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. The ~~decrease~~increase in revenues is due to ~~lower~~significantly higher activity levels ~~and lower pricing~~ within ~~most~~all of RPC’s major service lines. The economic slowdown that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic began at the end of the first quarter of 2020, therefore the second quarter of 2020 reflects the significant decline in business activity levels, explaining the significant increase in revenues during the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the prior year. International revenues for the second quarter of ~~2020 decreased 54.0~~2021 increased 6.0 percent to ~~$6.8~~$7.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. We continue to pursue international growth opportunities, but the nature of this work is unpredictable and we believe that international revenues will continue to be less than ten percent of RPC’s consolidated revenues in the future.

Cost of revenues ~~decreased~~increased during the second quarter of ~~2020~~2021 in comparison to the same period of the prior year primarily due to ~~decreases~~increases in expenses consistent with ~~lower~~higher activity levels, ~~and RPC’s expense reduction initiatives.~~as well as higher fuel costs. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues ~~increased~~decreased primarily due to the ~~negative~~positive leverage of these expenses over ~~significantly lower revenues.~~higher revenues, in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $29.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $28.8 million in the second quarter of ~~2020 compared with $43.3 million in~~2020. The expenses for the second quarter of ~~2019. As a percentage of revenues, these~~2021 include higher bad debt expense and expenses ~~increased to 32.2 percent in the second quarter of 2020 compared~~consistent with ~~12.1 percent in the second quarter of 2019 due to the significant decline in revenues during the second quarter of 2020.~~higher activity levels.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we recorded impairment and other charges totaling $1.6 million. These charges represent primarily severance costs due to cost reduction initiatives.

~~Loss before income taxes was $39.0 million for~~ For the ~~three~~six months ~~ended~~ending June 30, 2020, ~~compared to $8.8 million income before income taxes in the same period~~impairment and other charges include long-lived asset impairment and other charges of ~~2019.

Outlook

Drilling activity in the U.S. domestic oilfields, as measured by the rotary drilling rig count, reached a cyclical peak of ~~1,931~~1,083 during the fourth quarter of 2018. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, the drilling rig count began to decline and by the third quarter of ~~2014. Between the third quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2016, the drilling rig count fell by 79 percent. During the second quarter of 2016,~~2020, the U.S. domestic drilling rig count ~~reached~~fell 77 percent reaching the lowest level recorded atup to that time. The principal catalyst for this steep rig count decline was the decrease in the price of oil in the world markets resulting from the decline in global oil demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic which began in the second quarter of 2014. The price of oil began to fall at that time due to the perceived oversupply of oil, weak global demand growth, and the strength of the U.S. dollar on world currency markets. During the second quarter of 2016, the price of oil and the U.S. domestic rig count began to increase, and increased steadily throughout the remainder of 2016, throughout 2017 and 2018. 2020.

RPC monitors rig count efficiencies and well completion trends because the majority of our services are directed toward well completions. Improvements in drilling rig efficiencies have increased the number of potential well completions for a given drilling rig count; therefore, the statistics regarding well completions are more meaningful indicators of the outlook for RPC’s activity levels and revenues. Annual well completions ~~in the U.S. domestic market fell from 21,355 in 2014 to 8,060 in 2016. Annual well completions~~ during 2018 increased by approximately 25 percent compared to 2017, and by approximately five percent in 2019 compared to 2018. ~~During the second quarter of~~Well completions in 2020 ~~well completions~~ decreased by approximately 6249 percent compared to the second quarter of 2019 and U.S. domestic drilling rig count fell to the lowest level ever recorded. We believe that U.S. oilfield well completion activity will remain weak during the near term because of continued low oil prices and projections of depressed industry activity.2019.

The current and projected prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are important catalysts for U.S. domestic drilling activity. Following the trough of the most recent oilfield downturn in the second quarter of ~~2016, prices~~2020, the average price of oil and natural gas increased during the third and fourth quarters of that year, throughout 2017 and continued during the first three quarters of 2018. The price of natural gas continued to rise during the fourth quarter of 2018 and intohas risen by more than 66 percent in the second quarter of ~~2019, due~~2021 compared to ~~low natural gas storage levels, cold weather and increasing demand for natural gas exports. Since that time, however,~~ the average price of ~~natural gas has steadily fallen through~~oil in the second quarter of 2020. The average price of ~~oil reached~~natural gas has also risen by more than 74 percent during the same time period, due to steady demand for natural gas. Following a ~~cyclical peak in the third quarter~~low price of ~~2018, but began to fall over the remainder of 2018, and throughout 2019 and 2020. Early~~$0.23 per gallon in the first quarter of 2020, the price of ~~oil had decreased by more than 80 percent, with recent inflation-adjusted prices falling~~benchmark natural gas liquids has risen to ~~levels not seen since 1986. This tremendous decline~~$0.88 per gallon in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of almost 283 percent. The price ~~of oil carries significant negative implications for RPC’s near-term activity levels~~increases in these commodities during the past three quarters are encouraging, and ~~financial results.~~RPC believes that they have encouraged our customers to increase drilling and completion activities.

The majority of the U.S. domestic rig count remains directed towards oil. AtEarly in the ~~beginning~~second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, approximately 8579 percent of the U.S. domestic rig count was directed towards oil, ~~consistent~~a decrease compared with approximately 85 percent during the same period in the prior year. We believe that oil-directed drilling will remain the majority of domestic drilling, and that natural gas-directed drilling will remain a low percentage of U.S. domestic drilling in the near term. We believe that this relationship will continue due to relatively low prices for natural gas, high production from existing natural gas wells, and industry projections of limited increases in domestic natural gas demand during the near term.

We continue to monitor the market for our services and the competitive environment. ~~The~~An increasingly important factor impacting the demand for our services is the growing efficiency with which oilfield completion crews are providing services. We began to observe this in 2018, and we believe that this higher efficiency has contributed to the oversupplied nature of the oilfield services market. In addition, the U.S. domestic ~~rig count increased sharply following the historical low recorded during the second quarter of 2016, though the~~ rig count began to decline during the second quarter of 2019, and by the beginning of the second quarter of 2020 ~~was approaching levels last recorded during~~had fallen to the ~~2016 cyclical trough. During 2018, we began to observe that oilfield completion crews and equipment were providing services~~lowest level ever recorded. Combined with ~~increasing~~the long-term trend of increased efficiency, ~~and we believe that this higher efficiency~~the U.S. domestic rig count decline has caused the market for several oilfield completion services, including pressure pumping, to become oversupplied. This trend has continued through the second quarter of 2020, and we believe that this development carries negative consequences for pricing of our services, utilization of our equipment and our financial results during the near term.

~~Activity~~significant decreases in activity levels and pricing for oilfield services reached a level during 2018 that allowed the industry to maintain its equipment and encouraged oilfield service providers to expand their fleets of revenue-producing equipment and hire additional personnel. The prospect of improved financial returns also provided access to the capital markets and allowed previously insolvent service companies to resume operations and add equipment. As a result, competition increased during 2018. Increased competition and improved service efficiency, coupled with the significant decline in oil prices during the fourth quarter of 2018 and during 2019 have become catalysts

~~RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~for lower pricing and activity levels during this period.~~ RPC expanded its fleet of revenue-producing equipment in 2019, while also retiring older equipment which could no longer function effectively in service-intensive operating environments. We continue to selectively upgrade our existing equipment to operate using multiple fuel sources and to take advantage of advances in technology and data collection. We will continue to monitor current and expected customer activity levels and projected financial returns as we consider activating additional idle equipment during the near term. Our consistent response to the near-term potential of lower activity levels and competitive pricing ishas been to undertake moderate fleet expansions which we believe will allow us to maintain a strong balance sheet, while also positioning RPC for long-term growth and strong financial returns.

Table of Contents

The negative implications for RPC’s near-term activity levels from low oil prices and increased competition are partially offset by improved availability and lower cost for some of the critical raw materials used in providing RPC’s services. In addition, lower activity levels reduce the cost, and increase the availability of, skilled labor. These factors may reduce the cost of providing RPC’s services and reduce logistical constraints.RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment and other charges of $205.5 million. See note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the changes in our industry resulting in these charges. In addition, we are aware that our customers have been forced to conduct their operations with little or no access to outside capital for the first time in many years, and we assume that this aspect of exploration and production financing will remain in place for the foreseeable future, thereby reducing the volume of future drilling and completion of new wells.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 remains strong.

INFLATION

The Company purchases its equipment and materials from suppliers who provide competitive prices, and employs skilled workers from competitive labor markets. If inflation in the general economy increases, the Company’s costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well. In addition, increases in activity in the domestic oilfield can cause upward wage pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees, especially if employment in the general economy increases. Also, higher activity ~~increases~~ can cause increases in the costs of certain materials and key equipment components used to provide services to the Company’s customers. ~~When~~In addition, labor costs decreased during 2020 due to the significant decline in oilfield ~~activity began to increase in~~activity.

SEASONALITY

Oil and natural gas prices affect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s business depends in large part on the economic conditions of the oil and gas industry, and specifically on the capital expenditures of its customers related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. There is a positive correlation between these expenditures and customers’ demand for the Company’s services. As such, when these expenditures fluctuate, customers’ demand for the Company’s services fluctuates as well. These fluctuations depend on the current and projected prices of oil and natural gas and resulting drilling activity, and are not seasonal to any material degree.

Such statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include the following: the combined impact of the OPEC disputes and the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results, the declines in the price of oil and natural gas, which tend to result in a decrease in drilling activity and therefore a decline in the demand for our services, the actions of the OPEC cartel, the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict in the oil producing regions of the world, which could impact drilling activity, adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, competition in the oil and gas industry, the Company’s ability to implement price increases, the potential impact of possible future regulations on hydraulic fracturing on our business, risks of international operations, and reliance on large customers. Additional discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and in this 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its credit facility. As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there were no outstanding interest-bearing advances on our credit facility, which bear interest at a floating rate.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to market risk resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates. However, since the majority of the Company’s transactions occur in U.S. currency, this risk is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, June 30, ~~2020~~2021 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting – Management’s evaluation of changes in internal control did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
~~There have been no material changes from~~See the risk factors ~~previously disclosed~~described in the Company’s ~~Annual Report~~annual report on ~~Form-10-K~~Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the exception of risk factors related to the combined impacts of the OPEC disputes and the COVID-19 pandemic. The combined impacts of the OPEC disputes and the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an abrupt and steep decline in economic activity and has strained U.S. oil storage infrastructure and the resulting disruption has caused historically volatile oil prices.2020.
In March, our customers began to cancel current and scheduled drilling and completion activities, in some cases while the operation was underway. We share the general industry view that oilfield activity will decline at a historically high rate during the coming months. In response to this downturn, we have reduced our workforce, instituted compensation adjustments, and reduced our expense structure and capital expenditures. We will continue to adjust our cost structure in accordance with our assessment of the operating environment.
