NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL
Key Energy Services, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, “Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its,” and “our”) provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services, fishing and rental services, and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain of our rigs are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the continental United States and we have operations in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and Argentina.Russia. In addition, we have a technology development and control systems business based in Canada. Our operations in Argentina are classified as held for sale aswere sold during the third quarter of June 30, 2012.2012. See “Note 3. Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed December 31, 2011 balance sheet was prepared from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”). Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2011 Form 10-K.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all normal and recurring material adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The results of operations for the three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period, due to fluctuations in demand for our services, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, and other factors.
We have evaluated events occurring after the balance sheet date included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for possible disclosure as a subsequent event. Management monitored for subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events that required disclosure were identified.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to develop estimates and to make assumptions that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These estimates may also impact the nature and extent of our disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities. Among other things, we use estimates to (i) analyze assets for possible impairment, (ii) determine depreciable lives for our assets, (iii) assess future tax exposure and realization of deferred tax assets, (iv) determine amounts to accrue for contingencies, (v) value tangible and intangible assets, (vi) assess workers’ compensation, vehicular liability, self-insured risk accruals and other insurance reserves, (vii) provide allowances for our uncollectible accounts receivable, (viii) value our asset retirement obligations, and (ix) value our equity-based compensation. We review all significant estimates on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to publication of our financial statements. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates relate to improved information not previously available. Because of the limitations inherent in this process, our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that the estimates used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are reasonable.
There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be a “Critical Accounting Policy or Estimate” as disclosed in our 2011 Form 10-K except as discussed below.
As of December 31, 2011, the functional currency for Mexico and Canada was the local currency. Due to significant changes in economic facts and circumstances, the functional currency for these countries was changed to the U.S. dollar effective January 1, 2012.
New Accounting Standards Adopted in this Report
ASU 2011-04. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU represents the

measurements. The amendments in this ASU clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and changes particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report
There are no new accounting standards that have not been adopted in this report.
NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In FebruaryOn September 14, 2012, we announced our decision to sell our Argentine operations and began marketing this business to potential buyers. As a resultcompleted the sale of our plan to sell this business,Argentina operations for approximately $12.5 million, net of transaction costs. The $12.5 million net proceeds from the sale of Argentina operations includes $2.0 million received in cash and the balance in notes receivable. In connection with the sale, we presentrecognized a total loss of $85.7 million, which includes the assetsnoncash impairment charge of $41.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012, and liabilities associated with this business (the disposal group) as held for salea write-off of $51.9 million cumulative translation adjustment previously recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets andAccumulated other comprehensive loss.We are reporting the results of Argentina's operations related to this business asin discontinued operations for all periods presented. The held for sale classification required us to adjust the value of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value, less cost to sell. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax noncash impairment charge of $41.5 million ($26.9 million after tax) during the first quarter of 2012. Upon disposal, we anticipate an additional loss, which will vary based on the final sales price, related to our accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Prior to the plan to sell, the business was reported as part of our International segment. The following tables present more detailed information about the assets held for sale as well as the results of operations for the business:

NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS
2011 Acquisitions
Edge Oilfield Services, LLC and Summit Oilfield Services, LLC (collectively, “Edge”). On August 5, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Edge. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The results of operations for Edge have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
The total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $305.9 million, consisting of approximately 7.5 million shares of our common stock and $187.9 million in cash, which included $26.3 million to reimburse Edge for growth capital expenditures incurred between March 1, 2011 and the date of closing, net of working capital adjustments of $1.8 million. We finalized the purchase accounting related to this acquisition as of June 30, 2012. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Net assets acquired$305,863
Of the $49.3 million of acquired intangible assets, $40.0 million was assigned to customer relationships that will be amortized as the value of the relationships are realized using expected rates of 12.5%, 30.0%, 30.0%, 11.0%, 6.4%, 3.8%, 2.5%, 1.7%, 1.2% and 0.8% from 2011 through 2020. In addition, $5.1 million of acquired intangible assets were assigned to tradenames which are not amortized. The remaining $4.2 million of acquired intangible assets were assigned to non-compete agreements that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 38 months.
The fair value and gross contractual amount of accounts receivable acquired on August 5, 2011 was $21.1 million. We do not expect any of these receivables to be uncollectible.
All of the goodwill acquired was assigned to our fishing and rental business, which is part of our U.S. reportable

segment. We believe the goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the acquired workforce and expansion of a growing service line. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Included in our consolidated statements of operationsoperations for the three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, related to this acquisition are revenues of approximately $27.915.8 million and $59.575.3 million, respectively, and operating income of $3.5(7.4) million and $13.35.9 million, respectively.
The following represents the pro forma consolidated income statements as if the Edge acquisition had been included in our consolidated results as of January 1, 2011 for the three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. The three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 have been included for comparative purposes:

Pro Forma Adjustments
(1)
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 has been adjusted to reflect the additional expense that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on January 1, 2011.
(2)
General and administrative expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 have been adjusted to include include$3.6 millionof transaction costs.
(3)
Income tax expense for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 has been adjusted to reflect applicable corporate tax as if Edge had been acquired and converted from its limited liability company status on January 1, 2011.
(4)Weighted average shares outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the issuance of shares in the Edge transaction as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2011.
These unaudited pro forma results, based on assumptions deemed appropriate by management, have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of our results if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011 for the three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of Edge as if these changes had been applied on January 1, 2011, together with the consequential tax effects.

8.375% Senior Notes due 2014
We have outstanding $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”). The 2014 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2014 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

12

Table of Contents


The indenture governing the 2014 Notes contains various covenants. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions tied to the covenants of our 2011 Credit Facility (defined below). We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012.
6.75% Senior Notes due 2021
On March 4, 2011, we issued $475.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Initial 2021 Notes”) under an indenture dated March 4, 2011 (the "Base Indenture"), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated March 4, 2011. On March 8, 2012, we issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes (the "Additional 2021 Notes" and, together with the Initial 2021 Notes, the "2021 Notes") under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by an amended first supplemental indenture dated March 8, 2012 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). The Initial 2021 Notes and Additional 2021 Notes are treated as a single class under the Indenture and have the same material terms and conditions, except that the Additional 2021 Notes are subject to a registration rights agreement and, until the Additional 2021 Notes are exchanged pursuant thereto, will not have the same CUSIP number as and will not trade interchangeably with the Initial 2021 Notes. Net proceeds from the Additional 2021 Notes, after deducting underwriters’ fees and offering expenses, were $201.3 million. We used such net proceeds to repay senior secured indebtedness under our revolving bank credit facility. We capitalized $4.5 million of financing costs associated with the issuance of the Additional 2021 Notes that will be amortized over the term of the notes.
The 2021 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2021 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on March 1, 2021.
On or after March 1, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

2016103.375%
2017102.250%
2018101.125%
2019 and thereafter100.000%
At any time and from time to time before March 1, 2014, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2021 Notes at a redemption price of 106.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from any one or more equity offerings provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption and (ii) each such redemption shall occur within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.
In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to March 1, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium with respect to the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we must give holders of the 2021 Notes the opportunity to sell to us their 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred equity interests;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests;
make loans and investments;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
sell, transfer or otherwise convey assets;
create liens;

13

Table of Contents

enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
designate future subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the applicable entities’ assets.
These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Substantially all of the covenants will terminate before the 2021 Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the 2021 Notes an investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, the 2021 Notes were below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the credit rating assigned to the 2021 Notes later falls below investment grade. We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
We maintain a senior secured credit facility pursuant to a revolving credit agreement with several lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and DnB NOR Bank ASA, as Co-Documentation Agents (as amended on July 27, 2011, the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing line facility, up to an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million, all of which will mature no later than March 31, 2016.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the 2011 Credit Facility is, at our option, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (x) JPMorgan’s prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus in each case the applicable margin for all other loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 225 to 300 basis points, and the applicable margin for all other loans ranges from 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility. Unused commitment fees on the facility equal 0.50%.

16

Table of Contents

The 2011 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, which, among other things, limit our annual capital expenditures, restrict our ability to repurchase shares and require us to maintain certain financial ratios. The financial ratios require that:

our ratio of consolidated total funded indebtedness to total capitalization be no greater than the percentages specified below:
Fiscal Quarter EndingRatio
June 30, 2012 through September 30, 201247.5%
December 31, 2012 and thereafter45%
our senior secured leverage ratio of senior secured funded debt to trailing four quarters of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, “EBITDA”) be no greater than 2.00 to 1.00;
we maintain a collateral coverage ratio, the ratio of the aggregate book value of the collateral to the amount of the total commitments, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least:
Fiscal Quarter EndingRatio
June 30, 20121.85 to 1.00
September 30, 2012 and thereafter2.00 to 1.00
least 2:00 to 1:00;
we maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of trailing four quarters EBITDA to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00; and
we limit our capital expenditures and investments in foreign subsidiaries to $250.0 million per fiscal year, if the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00.

In addition, the 2011 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, without

14


limitation, restrictions on (i) liens; (ii) debt, guarantees and other contingent obligations; (iii) mergers and consolidations; (iv) sales, transfers and other dispositions of property or assets; (v) loans, acquisitions, joint ventures and other investments (with acquisitions permitted so long as, after giving pro forma effect thereto, no default or event of default exists under the 2011 Credit Facility, the pro forma consolidated total leverage ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, we are in compliance with other financial covenants and we have at least $25.0 million of availability under the 2011 Credit Facility); (vi) dividends and other distributions to, and redemptions and repurchases from, equityholders; (vii) making investments, loans or advances; (viii) selling properties; (ix) prepaying, redeeming or repurchasing subordinated (contractually or structurally) debt; (x) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (xi) entering into hedging arrangements; (xii) entering into sale and leaseback transactions; (xiii) granting negative pledges other than to the lenders; (xiv) changes in the nature of business; (xv) amending organizational documents; and (xvi) changes in accounting policies or reporting practices; in each of the foregoing cases, with certain exceptions.
We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012. We may prepay the 2011 Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain reimbursements to the lenders for breakage and redeployment costs. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, we had borrowings of $190.0220.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $59.0 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $301.0271.0 million of available borrowing capacity undersubject to compliance with the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility was 2.70% for the three-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rates on continuing operations for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011 were 35.5%35.8% and 34.0%35.4%, respectively, and 35.7% and 33.0%34.6% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our effective tax rate varies due to the mix of pre-tax profit between the U.S. and international taxing jurisdictions with varying statutory rates, permanent differences impacting mainly the U.S. effective rate, and discrete tax adjustments, such as tax expense or benefit recognized for uncertain tax positions. The variance between our effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate reflects the impact of permanent items, mainly non-deductible expenses such as fines and penalties, and expenses subject to statutorily imposed limitations such as meals and entertainment expenses, plus the impact of state income taxes.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $1.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal tax benefit, which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. We recognized a tax expensebenefit of less than $0.1 million in the quartersquarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and a tax benefit of $0.4 million in quarter ended September 30, 2011 related to these items. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state tax matters through the year ended December 31, 2006.
We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. We have accrued a liability of $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We believe that it is reasonably possible that $0.60.7 million of our currently remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which is individually insignificant, may be recognized in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations and settlement of ongoing audits. No release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance was made during the three or sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011.


15



NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. We conduct business throughout the continental United States and may be subject to jury verdicts or arbitrations that result in outcomes in favor of the plaintiffs. We are also exposed to various claims abroad. We continually assess our contingent liabilities, including potential litigation liabilities, as well as the adequacy of our accruals and our need for the disclosure of these items. We establish a provision for a contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. Other than $1.3 million of liabilities related to our Argentine business that is classified as held for sale that are deemed probable and reasonably estimable as of June 30, 2012, weWe have $0.50.4 million of other liabilities related to litigation that are deemed probable and reasonably estimable.estimable as of September 30, 2012. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters will result in an additional loss materially in excess of amounts that have been recorded.
Shareholder Derivative Demand
On December 7, 2011, we received a letter on behalf of the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement Systems (“APERS”) stating that APERS is a Key stockholder and alleging that certain of our officers and one director had breached their fiduciary duties, violated internal corporate policies and been unjustly enriched in connection with their oversight and administration of our compliance with health, safety, labor, motor vehicle and other similar laws, rules and regulations to which Key is subject. The letter demands that our board of directors take action against such officers and director to remedy the conduct alleged in the letter and threatens that APERS will commence a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of Key absent action from the board of directors. Our board established a special committee, consisting of independent members of the board, to review and evaluate the allegations made in the letter. The special committee engaged independent legal counsel to assist it with its review. 
The special committee has concluded its review and presented its findings and recommendations to the other independent members of the board. The committee determined, among other things, that the evidence did not support the allegations that any of the officers or the director engaged in any misconduct or deliberate wrongful acts, or were personally enriched as a result of any of the alleged misconduct. The committee also determined that there were not deficiencies in the Company's internal controls related to safety policies and procedures. The committee recommended certain enhancements to the Company's existing Occupational Safety and Health policies and procedures. After review of the committee's presentation, the independent members of the board accepted all of the committee's recommendations and determined that it would not be in the best interests of the Company to pursue any claims premised upon the issues in the letter. To our knowledge, no complaint has been filed in connection with the letter. Management has no basis at this time to believe that there are any material misstatements in Key’s past financial statements, or that there are grounds for accrual of probable penalties or assessments.
Self-Insurance Reserves
We maintain reserves for workers’ compensation and vehicle liability on our balance sheet based on our judgment and estimates using an actuarial method based on claims incurred. We estimate general liability claims on a case-by-case basis. We maintain insurance policies for workers’ compensation, vehicle liability and general liability claims. These insurance policies carry self-insured retention limits or deductibles on a per occurrence basis. The retention limits or deductibles are accounted for in our accrual process for all workers’ compensation, vehicular liability and general liability claims. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we have recorded $66.166.3 million and $62.9 million, respectively, of self-insurance reserves related to workers’ compensation, vehicular liabilities and general liability claims. Partially offsetting these liabilities, we had $21.820.6 million and $17.7 million of insurance receivables as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We believe that the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and do not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued for existing claims.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities
For environmental reserve matters, including remediation efforts for current locations and those relating to previously disposed properties, we record liabilities when our remediation efforts are probable and the costs to conduct such remediation efforts can be reasonably estimated. While our litigation reserves reflect the application of our insurance coverage, our environmental reserves do not reflect management’s assessment of the insurance coverage that may apply to the matters at issue. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we have recorded $4.84.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for our environmental remediation liabilities. We believe that the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and do not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings attributable to Key by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of potentially dilutive outstanding securities using the treasury stock and “as if converted” methods.
The components of our earnings per share are as follows:

The diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011 exclude the potential exercise of 1.92.0 million, 1.52.0 million, less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million stock options, respectively. These options were considered anti-dilutive because the exercise prices exceeded the average price of our stock during those periods. For each of the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, 0.4 million of our stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) were anti-dilutive. None of our SARs were anti-dilutive for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. There were no events occurring after JuneSeptember 30, 2012 that would materially affect the number of weighted average shares outstanding.
NOTE 12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We recognized employee share-based compensation expense of $2.22.4 million and $3.92.7 million during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.80.9 million and $1.41.0 million, respectively, for the same periods. We recognized employee share-based compensation expense of $8.310.7 million and

17


$7.910.6 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the related income tax benefit

19


recognized was $3.03.9 million and $2.83.8 million, respectively, for the same periods. We did not capitalize any share-based compensation during the three- and six-nine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011.
The unrecognized compensation costs related to our unvested stock options, restricted shares and phantom shares as of JuneSeptember 30, 2012 are estimated to be less than $0.1 million, $16.714.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.40.2 years, 1.31 years and 0.1 years, respectively.
During May 2012, we issued 0.2 million shares of common stock to our outside directors under the Key Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan that was approved by our stockholders on May 17, 2012. These shares vested immediately and we recognized $1.6 million of expense related to these awards.
On January 16, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Performance Unit Plan (the “2012 PU Plan”). We believe that the 2012 PU Plan will enable us to obtain and retain employees who will contribute to our long term success by providing compensation that is linked directly to increases in share value.
In January 2012, we issued 0.1 million performance units to our officers under the 2009 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan. Additionally, in February 2012, we issued 0.1 million performance units to certain of our employees under the 2012 PU Plan. The performance units are measured based on two performance periods from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 and from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. One half of the performance units are measured based on the first performance period, and the other half are measured based on the second performance period. The number of performance units that may be earned by a participant is determined at the end of each performance period based on the relative placement of Key’s total stockholder return for that period within the peer group, as follows:
Company Placement for the Performance Period 
Percentile Ranking in
Peer Group
 
Performance Units Earned as
a Percentage of Target
First 100% 200%
Second 91% 180%
Third 82% 160%
Fourth 73% 140%
Fifth 64% 120%
Sixth 55% 100%
Seventh 45% 75%
Eighth 36% 50%
Ninth 27% 25%
Tenth 18% 0%
Eleventh 9% 0%
Twelfth 0% 0%
If any performance units vest for a given performance period, the award holder will be paid a cash amount equal to the vested percentage of the performance units multiplied by the closing stock price of our common stock on the last trading day of the performance period. We account for the performance units as a liability-type award as they are settled in cash. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, the fair value of outstanding performance units was $0.70.6 million, and is being accreted to compensation expense over the vesting terms of the awards. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, the unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested performance units is estimated to be $0.50.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.51.2 years.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operating segments are U.S. and International. We also have a “Functional Support” segment associated with managing each of our reportable operating segments. Our domestic rig services, fluid management services, fishing and rental services, and coiled tubing services (formerly intervention services) are aggregated within our U.S. reportable segment. Our international rig services business and our Canadian technology development group are aggregated within our International reportable segment. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on revenue and income measures. All inter-segment sales pricing is based on current market conditions. The following is a description of the segments:
U.S. Segment
Rig-Based Services
Our rig-based services include the completion of newly drilled wells, workover and recompletion of existing oil and natural gas wells, well maintenance, and the plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful lives. We also provide specialty drilling services to oil and natural gas producers with certain of our larger rigs that are capable of providing conventional and horizontal drilling services. Our rigs encompass various sizes and capabilities, allowing us to service all types of wells with depths up to 20,000 feet. Many of our rigs are outfitted with our proprietary KeyView® technology, which captures and reports well site operating data and provides safety control systems. We believe that this technology allows our

22


customers and our crews to better monitor well site operations, improves efficiency and safety, and adds value to the services that we offer.
The completion and recompletion services provided by our rigs prepare wells for production, whether they be a newly drilled well, or a well that was recently extended through a workover for production.operation. The completion process may involve selectively perforating the well casing to access production zones, stimulating and testing these zones, and installing tubular and downhole equipment. We typically provide a well service rig and may also provide other equipment to assist in the completion process. The completion process usually takes a few days to several weeks, depending on the nature of the completion.
The workover services that we provide are designed to enhance the production of existing wells and generally are more complex and time consuming than normal maintenance services. Workover services can include deepening or extending wellbores into new formations by drilling horizontal or lateral wellbores, sealing off depleted production zones and accessing previously bypassed production zones, converting former production wells into injection wells for enhanced recovery operations and conducting major subsurface repairs due to equipment failures. Workover services may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the workover.
The maintenance services that we provide with our rig fleet are generally required throughout the life cycle of an oil or natural gas well. Examples of these maintenance services include routine mechanical repairs to the pumps, tubing and other equipment, removing debris and formation material from wellbores, and pulling the rods and other downhole equipment from wellbores to identify and resolve production problems. Maintenance services generally take less than 48 hours to complete.
Our rig fleet is also used in the process of permanently shutting-in oil or natural gas wells that are at the end of their productive lives. These plugging and abandonment services generally require auxiliary equipment in addition to a well servicing rig. The demand for plugging and abandonment services is not significantly impacted by the demand for oil and natural gas because well operators are required by state regulations to plug wells that are no longer productive.
Fluid Management Services
We provide fluid management services, including oilfield fluid transportation and produced water disposal services, with our fleet of heavy and medium-duty trucks. Fluid hauling trucks are utilized in connection with drilling, completions, workover and maintenance activities, which tend to use large amounts of various fluids. In connection with these activities at a well site, we transport fresh and brine water to the well site, supply frac tanks used for temporary storage of fluids associated with fluid hauling operations and provide disposal services for operators whose wells produce saltwater or other non-hydrocarbon fluids.  In addition, we provide equipment trucks that are used to move large pieces of equipment from one

20

Table of Contents

well site to the next, and we operate a fleet of hot oilers capable of pumping heated fluids used to clear soluble restrictions in a wellbore.
Coiled Tubing Services (formerly Intervention Services)
Our coiled tubing services line of business includes our coiled tubing, pumping and nitrogen service offerings. Coiled tubing services involve the use of a continuous metal pipe spooled onto a large reel which is then deployed into oil and natural gas wells to perform various applications, such as wellbore clean-outs, nitrogen jet lifts, through-tubing fishing, and
formation stimulations utilizing acid and chemical treatments. Coiled tubing is also used for a number of horizontal well applications such as milling temporary isolation plugs that separate frac zones, and various other pre- and post- hydraulic fracturing well preparation services.
Fishing and Rental Services
We offer a full line of services and rental equipment designed for use in providing both onshore and offshore drilling and workover services. Fishing services involve recovering lost or stuck equipment in the wellbore utilizing a broad array of “fishing tools.” Our rental tool inventory consists of drill pipe, tubulars, handling tools (including our patented Hydra-Walk® pipe-handling units and services), pressure-control equipment, pumps, power swivels, reversing units and foam air units.
As a result of the Edge acquisition, our rental inventory also includes frac stack equipment used to support hydraulic fracturing operations and the associated flowback of frac fluids, proppants, oil and natural gas. We also provide well testing services.
International Segment
Our International segment includes operations in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East and Russia. Our Argentina operations were previously included in our International segment and are now reflected as discontinued operations. Services in

23

Table of Contents

these locations include rig-based services such as the maintenance, workover, and recompletion of existing oil wells, completion of newly-drilled wells, and plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful lives. We also provide drilling services in some of the regions where we work and we provide engineering and consulting services for the development of reservoirs.
Our operations in Mexico consist mainly of workover, wireline, project management and consulting services. We generate significant revenue from our contracts with Pemex.
In Argentina, our operations consist of drilling and workover services. In Colombia, we provide workover services.
In Russia, we provide drilling, workover, and reservoir engineering services. Our Russian operations are structured as a 50/50 joint venture in which we have a controlling financial interest.
In the Middle East, we operate in a joint venture in which we have a controlling financial interest. Our operations in the Middle East consist mainly of workover services in the Kingdom of Bahrain.Bahrain, and during the third quarter of 2012, we opened new operations in Oman.
Also included in our International segment is our technology development and control systems business based in Canada. This business is focused on the development of hardware and software related to oilfield service equipment controls, data acquisition and digital information flow.
Functional Support Segment
Our Functional Support segment manages our U.S. and International operating segments. Functional Support assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and investments in subsidiaries, deferred financing costs, our equity method investments and deferred income tax assets.

NOTE 17. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
On March 7, 2010, we entered into an agreement with AlMansoori Petroleum Services LLC (“AlMansoori”) to form the joint venture AlMansoori Key Energy Services LLC under the laws of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The purpose of the joint venture is to engage in conventional workover and drilling services, coiled tubing services, fishing and rental tools and services, rig monitoring services, pipe handling services and fluids, waste treatment and handling services. AlMansoori holds a 51% interest in the joint venture while we hold a 49% interest. However, we hold three of the five board of directors seats and a controlling financial interest. Future capital contributions to the joint venture will be made on equal terms and in equal amounts, and any future share capital increases will be issued in proportion to the initial share capital percentages but paid for by AlMansoori and Key in equal amounts. Also, we share the profits and losses of the joint venture on equal terms and in equal amounts with AlMansoori. The joint venture does not have sufficient resources to carry on its activities without our financial support; accordingly, we have determined it to be a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate the entity in our financial statements.
For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, we recognized $4.04.3 million and $7.311.7 million of revenue, respectively, and $0.80.7 million and $1.01.7 million of net income, respectively, associated with this joint venture. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we recognized $2.53.1 million and $4.27.3 million of revenue and $0.30.2 million and $0.60.9 million of net income, respectively, associated with this joint venture. Also, we have guaranteed the performance of the joint venture under its sole services contract valued at $2.0 million. At JuneSeptember 30, 2012, there were approximately $19.718.7 million of assets and $19.818.1 million of liabilities in the joint venture. At December 31, 2011, there were approximately $12.4 million of assets and $13.4 million of liabilities in the joint venture. There are no restrictions on the use of assets and liabilities associated with the joint venture. Also, creditors of the joint venture have no recourse against us other than the $2.0 million performance guarantee previously mentioned.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Key Energy Services, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, “Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its,” and “our”) provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services, fishing and rental services, and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain of our rigs are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the continental United States and we have operations in Mexico, Colombia, the Middle East, Russia and Argentina.Russia. In addition, we have a technology development and control systems business based in Canada. Our operations in Argentina are classified as held for sale aswere sold during the third quarter of June 30, 2012. See “Note 3. Discontinued Operations“ in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of Part I of this report for further discussion.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, included elsewhere herein, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2011 Form 10-K.
We operate in two business segments; U.S. and International. We also have a “Functional Support” segment associated with managing our U.S. and International operating segments. See “Note 15. Segment Information” in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of Part I of this report for a summary of our business segments.
Recent Developments

On September 14, 2012, we completed the sale of our Argentina operations for approximately $12.5 million, net of transaction costs. The $12.5 million net proceeds from the sale of Argentina operations includes $2.0 million received in cash and the balance in notes receivable. In connection with the sale, we recognized a total loss of $85.7 million, which includes the noncash impairment charge of $41.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012, and a write-off of $51.9 million cumulative translation adjustment previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
We believe that the Baker Hughes U.S. land drilling rig count is the best barometer of overall oilfield capital spending and activity levels in our primary U.S. onshore market. This data is made publicly available on a weekly basis. Historically, our activity levels have been highly correlated to capital spending by oil and natural gas producers. Generally, when oil and natural gas prices rise, capital spending by our customers tends to increase. Conversely, if oil and natural gas prices fall, capital spending by our customers tends to decrease. Accordingly, U.S. onshore oilfield activity, as represented by the Baker Hughes U.S. land drilling rig count, tends to increase and decrease with the increase and decrease in oil and natural gas prices.

Internally, we measure activity levels in our U.S. and International segments primarily through our rig and trucking hours. Generally, as capital spending by oil and natural gas producers increases, demand for our services also rises, resulting in

Table of Contents

increased rig and trucking services and more hours worked. Conversely, when activity levels decline due to lower spending by oil and natural gas producers, we generally provide fewer rig and trucking services, which results in lower hours worked.

In the U.S., our rig activity occurs primarily on weekdays during daylight hours. Accordingly, we track U.S. rig activity on a "per U.S. working day" basis. Key's U.S. working days per quarter, which exclude national holidays, are indicated in the table below. Our international rig activity and domestic trucking activity tend to occur on a 24/7 basis. Accordingly, we track our international rig activity and our domestic trucking activity on a "per calendar day" basis. The following table presents our quarterly rig and trucking hours from 2011 through the secondthird quarter of 2012:

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Market Conditions — Quarter Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012
Domestically,Demand for our services in the U.S. oil markets declined in the third quarter versus the second quarter results were impacted by the continued decline of activity2012 due to reduced customer spending resulting from lower customer cash flow and pricingbudget constraints and an oversupply of service capacity. Activity in natural gas markets. Demandmarkets also continued to decline in U.S. oil markets remains favorable; however, declining oil prices and additional service capacity in these markets have slowed activity growth. Secondthe third quarter as a result of low natural gas prices. Third quarter 2012 results for our fluid management servicesFluid Management Services and fishing and rental servicesFishing & Rental Services businesses werecontinued to be negatively impacted by the decline in activity and pricing in the natural gas prices and additional costs associated with relocatingmarkets. Our Coiled Tubing Services results were adversely affected by less efficient equipment from natural gas to oil markets. Coiled tubing services revenue exceeded that of the prior quarter due to improved asset utilization and favorable job mix.on lower activity as well as lower pricing. Revenue in our rig servicesRig Services business increasedalso declined compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2012 due to continued demandreduced customer spending and activity project delays in some of our oil markets.
Internationally, our activity in the secondthird quarter of 2012 grew sequentially quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, driven in large part by activity growth in Mexico associated with the full deployment of our rigs in the country during the quarter.
Market Outlook
In the U.S., we anticipate moderate activity growth in the third quarter. We also expect continued improvement in our international results as we gain operating efficiencies in Mexico and operations commence in Oman.improving operating efficiencies.
Market Outlook
We anticipate overall fourth quarter financial performance will be essentially flat withcustomer demand in the third quarter. We expect the fourth quarterU.S. to benefit from improving coiled tubing services operating efficiencies, rental services activity growth and international activity growth. However, we believe those factors will be offset bycontinue to decline through year end 2012. Additionally, typical seasonal declines in the U.S. that will likely have a greater impact than in prior years as a result of additional service capacity in oil markets and our more expensive fixed cost structure. We continue to seek opportunities to reduce fixed and variable costs in markets where activity levels are not adequate to justify higher costs.
In our international markets, we expect activity to generally trend higher, leading to continued revenue growth and margin improvement, particularly in Mexico where recent asset deployments should further improve financial performance.

8.375% Senior Notes due 2014
We have outstanding $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”). The 2014 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2014 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
The indenture governing the 2014 Notes contains various covenants. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions tied to the covenants of our 2011 Credit Facility. We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012.
6.75% Senior Notes due 2021
On March 4, 2011, we issued $475.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Initial 2021 Notes”) under an indenture dated March 4, 2011 (the "Base Indenture"), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated March 4, 2011. On March 8, 2012, we issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes (the "Additional 2021 Notes" and, together with the Initial 2021 Notes, the "2021 Notes") under the Base Indenture, as supplemented by an amended first supplemental indenture dated March 8, 2012 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). The Initial 2021 Notes and Additional 2021 Notes are treated as a single class under the Indenture and have the same material terms and conditions, except that the Additional 2021 Notes are subject to a registration rights agreement and, until the Additional 2021 Notes are exchanged pursuant thereto, will not have the same CUSIP number as and will not trade interchangeably with the Initial 2021 Notes. Net proceeds from the Additional 2021 Notes, after deducting underwriters’ fees and offering expenses, were $201.3 million. We used such net proceeds to repay senior secured indebtedness under our revolving bank credit facility. We capitalized $4.5 million of financing costs associated with the issuance of the Additional 2021 Notes that will be amortized over the term of the notes.
The 2021 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2021 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on March 1, 2021.
On or after March 1, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

At any time and from time to time before March 1, 2014, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2021 Notes at a redemption price of 106.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from any one or more equity offerings provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption and (ii) each such redemption shall occur within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.
In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to March 1, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium with respect to the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we must give holders of the 2021 Notes the opportunity to sell to us their 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the applicable entities’ assets.
These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Substantially all of the covenants will terminate before the 2021 Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the 2021 Notes an investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, the 2021 Notes were below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the credit rating assigned to the 2021 Notes later falls below investment grade. We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
We maintain a senior secured credit facility pursuant to a revolving credit agreement with several lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and DnB NOR Bank ASA, as Co-Documentation Agents (as amended on July 27, 2011, the “2011 Credit Facility”).

Unused commitment fees on the facility equal 0.50%.

39

Table of Contents

we limit our capital expenditures and investments in foreign subsidiaries to $250.0 million per fiscal year, if the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00.

In addition, the 2011 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, restrictions on (i) liens; (ii) debt, guarantees and other contingent obligations; (iii) mergers and consolidations; (iv) sales, transfers and other dispositions of property or assets; (v) loans, acquisitions, joint ventures and other investments (with acquisitions permitted so long as, after giving pro forma effect thereto, no default or event of default exists under the 2011 Credit Facility, the pro forma consolidated total leverage ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, we are in compliance with other financial covenants and we have at least $25.0 million of availability under the 2011 Credit Facility); (vi) dividends and other distributions to, and redemptions and repurchases from, equityholders; (vii) making investments, loans or advances; (viii) selling properties; (ix) prepaying, redeeming or repurchasing subordinated (contractually or structurally) debt; (x) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (xi) entering into hedging arrangements; (xii) entering into sale and leaseback transactions; (xiii) granting negative pledges other than to the lenders; (xiv) changes in the nature of business; (xv) amending organizational documents; and (xvi) changes in accounting policies or reporting practices; in each of the foregoing cases, with certain exceptions.
We were in compliance with these covenants at JuneSeptember 30, 2012. We may prepay the 2011 Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain reimbursements to the lenders for breakage and redeployment costs. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, we had borrowings of $190.0220.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $59.0 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $301.0271.0 million of available borrowing capacity undersubject to compliance with the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility was 2.70% for the three-month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012.
Capital Lease Agreements
We lease equipment, such as vehicles, tractors, trailers, frac tanks and forklifts, from financial institutions under master lease agreements. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, there was $1.1$0.7 million outstanding under such equipment leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At JuneSeptember 30, 2012 we did not, and we currently do not, have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Liquidity Outlook and Future Capital Requirements
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.338.3 million, available borrowing capacity of $301.0271.0 million under oursubject to compliance with the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, and no significant debt maturities until 2016. We believe that our internally generated cash flows from operations and current reserves of cash and cash equivalents will be

Table of Contents

sufficient to finance the majority of our cash requirements for operations, budgeted capital expenditures, and debt service for the next twelve months. Also, as we have historically done, we may, from time to time, access available funds under our 2011 Credit Facility to supplement our liquidity to meet cash requirements for day-to-day operations and times of peak needs throughout the year. Our planned capital expenditures, as well as any acquisitions we choose to pursue, could be financed through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility and, in the case of acquisitions, equity.
Capital Expenditures
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2012, our capital expenditures totaled $309.3399.7 million, primarily related to the deployment of heavy duty workover rigs to Mexico, the purchase of premium drill pipe and major maintenance of our existing fleet and equipment. Our full year 2012 capital expenditures program for 2012 has been reduced fromshould be approximately $450 million to $350 million in response to changing market conditions, including lower commodity prices, reduced activity levels in natural gas markets, and increased service capacity in oil markets. However, our actualmillion. An estimated 40% of that capital expenditures for the year may modestly exceed our $350 million budget depending on our ability to cancel or defer delivery of certain previously ordered, long lead time items. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 areis expected to be directed primarily towards premium workover rigs and rental equipment for high investment returninvested in international growth opportunities, in both the U.S. andwhich is nearly double our original international markets.capital expenditure budget. We currently anticipate funding our remaining 2012 capital expenditures through a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, and borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility. Should our operating cash flows or activity levels prove to be insufficient to warrant our currently planned capital spending levels, management expects it will adjust our capital spending plans accordingly.
