Basis of Presentation

~~Basis of Presentation~~

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of NOV Inc. (“NOV” or the “Company”) present information in accordance with ~~GAAP~~generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform with current period presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with ~~generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)~~GAAP in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s international entities in which there is a substantial investment have the local currency as their functional currency. As a result, currency translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the entities’ financial statements into the reporting currency are reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

The effect of changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, until the underlying transactions are realized. The movement in other comprehensive income (loss) from period to period will be the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives of ($1)13) million and ($3)15) million during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021;~~2022; and, 2) the outflow of other comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives that have settled in the current period ~~of ($3) million~~were 0 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and ~~($3)~~$6 million during the ~~three and~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Sales from one segment to another generally are priced at estimated equivalent commercial selling prices; however, segments originating an external sale are credited with the full profit to the Company. Eliminations include intercompany transactions conducted between the 3 reporting segments that are eliminated in consolidation. Intrasegment transactions are eliminated within each segment.

~~Operating loss~~Cost of revenue and operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 includes pre-tax charges for other items (impairment, restructure, severance, facility closure costs, and inventory charges) of $14 million, net of related credits of $16 million. Cost of revenue and operating profit for the six months ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022 includes pre-tax charges for other items of ~~$42~~$59 million, ~~(severance, facility closure, and inventory write downs)~~ net of related credits of ~~$18~~$17 million. ~~Operating~~Other items associated with the Company's operations in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine of approximately $8 million and $49 million were recorded within cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Cost of revenue and operating profit for the three months ending June 30, 2021, includes other items of $20 million, net of related credits of $9 million. Cost of revenue and operating loss for the six months ~~ended~~ending June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, includes pre-tax charges for ~~impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible and long-lived tangible assets ($1,891 million); inventory charges ($132 million); and, severance, facility closures and~~ other items ~~($102 million).~~of $24 million, net of related credits of $12 million.

We do not disclose the remaining performance obligations of royalty contracts, service contracts for which there is a right to invoice, and short-term contracts that are expected to have a duration of one year or less. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was ~~$3,867~~$4,247 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately ~~$594~~$678 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$3,273~~$3,569 million in ~~2022~~2023 and thereafter.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer under contracts where revenue is recognized over-time.

Leases

7.	~~Leases~~

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment to support its operations around the world. These leases generally require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other operating costs in addition to rent. Renewal options are common in longer term leases; however, it is rare that the Company initially intends that a lease option will be exercised due to the cyclical nature of the Company’s business. Residual value guarantees are not typically part of the Company’s leases. Occasionally, the Company sub-leases excess facility space, generally at terms similar to the source lease. The Company reviews agreements at inception to determine if they include a lease and, when they do, uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the future lease payments as most do not include implicit interest rates.

Components of leases are as follows (in millions):

The number of shares authorized under the ~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief,~~NOV Plan is 55.7 million. The NOV Plan is also subject to a fungible ratio concept, such that the issuance of stock options and ~~Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted~~stock appreciation rights reduces the number of available shares under the NOV Plan on ~~March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years.

Derivative Financial Instruments

~~11.~~

~~Derivative Financial Instruments~~

The Company uses forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit (cash flow hedge). The Company also executes forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on recognized nonfunctional currency monetary accounts (non-designated hedge).

The fair value of these derivative financial instruments are determined using level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is based on publicly available foreign exchange and interest rates at each financial reporting date.

Forward currency contracts consist of (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company instituted a cash flow hedging program. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (e.g., in “revenues” when the hedged transactions are cash flows associated with forecasted revenues). The Company includes time value in hedge relationships.

The Company expects ~~$18~~$14 million of the accumulated other comprehensive ~~income~~loss will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Non-designated Hedging Strategy

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain nonfunctional currency monetary accounts. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in other income (expense), together with the changes in the hedged nonfunctional monetary accounts.

The amount of gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense), net was ($1)11) million and ($5)14) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and ($1) million and ($5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, ~~respectively, and $5 million and ($38) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,~~ respectively.

~~Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Company Per Share~~

The following table sets forth the computation of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding (in millions, except per share data):

Companies with unvested participating securities are required to utilize a two-class method for the computation of net income attributable to Company per share.

Commitments and Contingencies

~~Commitments and Contingencies~~

Our business is governed by laws and regulations, including those directed to the oilfield service industry, promulgated by U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory agencies, as well as international governmental authorities in the many countries in which we conduct business. In the United States these governmental authorities include: the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls, state and international environmental agencies and many others. We are unaware of any material ~~unreserved~~ liabilities in connection with our compliance with such laws. New laws, regulations and enforcement policies may result in additional, presently unquantifiable, or unknown, costs or liabilities.

The Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The Company maintains insurance that covers many of the claims arising from risks associated with the business activities of the Company, including claims for premises liability, product liability and other such claims. The Company carries substantial insurance to cover such risks above a self-insured retention. The Company believes, and the Company’s experience has been, that such insurance has been enough to cover any such material risks. ~~See Item 1A. Risk Factors.~~

The Company is also a party to claims, threatened and actual litigation, private arbitration, internal investigations of potential regulatory and compliance matters which arise both from legacy businesses that the Company has acquired over many years and from the Company’s current ordinary day-to-day business activities. These regulatory matters and disputes ~~may~~ involve private parties and/or government authorities, which assert claims against the Company for a broad spectrum of potential claims including: employment law claims, collective actions or class action claims under employment laws, intellectual property claims (such as alleged patent infringement, and/or misappropriation of trade ~~secrets)~~secrets by the company), premises liability claims, environmental claims, product liability claims, warranty claims, personal injury claims arising from exposure to or use of allegedly defective products, alleged regulatory violations, alleged violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and other commercial and/or regulatory claims seeking recovery for alleged actual or exemplary damages or fines and penalties. Such claims involve various theories of liability which include: negligence, strict liability, product liability, and other theories of liability. For some of these contingent claims, the Company’s insurance coverage is inapplicable or an exclusion to coverage may apply. In such instances, settlement or other resolution of such claims, individually or collectively, could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded reserves in an amount believed to be sufficient, given the range of potential outcomes, for contingent liabilities representing all contingencies believed to be probable. These reserves include all costs expected for reclamation of a closed barite mine and product liability claims, as well as other circumstances involving material claims.

The Company has assessed the potential for additional losses above the amounts accrued as well as potential losses for matters that are believed to be not probable, but are reasonably possible. The Company sets accruals in accordance with GAAP based on its best judgment about the probable results of disputed claims, regulatory enforcement actions, tax and other governmental audits, and other contingencies. The litigation process as well as the outcome of regulatory oversight is inherently uncertain, and our best judgement concerning the probable outcome of litigation or regulatory enforcement matters may prove to be ~~incorrect in some instances.~~incorrect. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of these matters. The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially affect our financial position, cash flow or results of operations. These estimated liabilities are based on the Company’s assessment of the nature of these matters, their progress toward resolution, the advice of legal counsel and outside experts as well as management’s experience. Because of uncertainty and risk inherent to litigation, arbitration, audits, governmental investigations and ~~arbitration,~~enforcement actions, the Company’s actual liabilities incurred may exceed our estimated liabilities and reserves, which could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. Recently, the Company received and paid a $51 million transfer pricing tax assessment in Denmark. The Company and its advisors believe the assessment is without merit. The Company is presently appealing and believes it will be reimbursed following a successful appeals process. The payment has been recorded as a long term receivable.

In many instances, the Company’s products and services embody or incorporate trade secrets or patented inventions. From time to time, we are engaged in disputes concerning protection of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information, patents, and other intellectual property rights. Such disputes frequently involve complex, factual, technical and/or legal issues which result in high costs to adjudicate our rights and ~~difficulty in predicting~~for which it may be difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. At any given time, the Company may be a plaintiff or defendant in disputes involving disputed intellectual property rights. The Company is currently pursuing claims involving technology related to drill bits. Because of the importance of the Company’s intellectual property to the Company’s performance, an adverse result in such disputes could result in ~~the~~a material loss of revenue from royalties or a decline in sales of products protected by patents, which could materially and adversely impact our financial performance.

Further, in some instances, direct or indirect consumers of our products and services, entities providing financing for purchases of our products and services or members of the supply chain for our products and services become involved in governmental investigations, internal investigations, political or other enforcement matters. In such circumstances, such investigations may adversely impact the ability of consumers of our products, entities providing financial support to such consumers or entities in the supply chain to timely perform their business plans or to timely perform under agreements with us. We may, from time to time, become involved in these investigations, at substantial cost to the Company. We also are subject to trade regulations, supply chain regulations, and other regulatory compliance in which the laws and regulations of different jurisdictions conflict or these regulations may conflict with contractual terms. In such circumstances, our compliance with U.S. laws and regulations may subject us to risk of fines, penalties, or contractual liability in other jurisdictions. Our efforts to actively manage such risks may not always be successful which could lead to negative impacts on revenue or earnings.

The Company is exposed to customs and trade regulation risk in the countries in which we do business and countries from which or to which we ~~transport~~import or export goods. Such trade regulations can be complex and conflicting, as different countries use trade regulation to promote conflicting policy objectives. Compliance with these laws and regulations present challenges which could result in future liabilities (for example, when laws conflict between countries). The Company may face increased tariffs and trade costs, loss of revenue, loss of customers, increased costs, the need for renegotiation of agreements, and other business disruptions. In addition, trade regulations, export controls, and other laws may adversely impact our ability to do business in certain countries, e.g.: Iran, Syria, Russia, China and Venezuela. In response to additional sanctions enacted by governments in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other countries as a result of active armed conflict in Ukraine, we ceased new investments in Russia and have curtailed our activities in Russia. We are actively examining our alternatives, including the potential to further curtail our activities, sell some or all of our businesses, or wind down our remaining operations in Russia. We have sold our business in Belarus subsequent to June 30, 2022. Litigation may result from the confluence of these events in Russia and Belarus and our response to the various sanctions as we work to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We also may incur severance costs as a result of conditions in Russia and Belarus.

As a consequence of the conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions on activities related to Russia and Belarus, we recorded impairment and other charges of $8 million and $49 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company has approximately $10 million in remaining assets and $74 million in currency translation losses related to Russia and Belarus recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2022. The currency translation losses related to Belarus of approximately $20 million will be taken to results of operations in the third quarter 2022 upon recording the sale of the business. The continued impact of existing sanctions or imposition of increasingly severe sanctions and the potentially broader impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could result in additional impairments, write downs or charges which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We also face sometimes conflicting regulatory and legal prescriptions concerning vaccine mandates and prohibitions of vaccine mandates. We may face loss of workers, labor shortages, litigation, fines and/or other adverse consequences resulting from vaccine mandates and enforcement of other COVID-19 regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we identified our most critical accounting policies. In preparing the financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates and ~~judgments~~judgements that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our estimates and ~~judgments~~judgements that are most critical in nature which are related to revenue recognition ~~(See Note 6); allowance for doubtful accounts;~~under long-term construction contracts; inventory reserves; impairment of ~~long-lived assets (excluding~~ goodwill ~~and other indefinite-lived intangible assets); goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; purchase price allocation of acquisitions; warranties;~~ and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe are reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making ~~judgments~~judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

This Form 10-Q contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating NOV’s overall financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the oilfield services and equipment industry. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures.

The Company ~~discloses~~defines Adjusted EBITDA ~~(defined~~ as ~~Operating Profit~~operating profit excluding ~~Depreciation, Amortization~~depreciation, amortization, gains and losses on sales of fixed assets and, when applicable, Other ~~Items) in its periodic earnings press releases and other public disclosures~~Items. Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and manage the business. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors ~~additional information about~~and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s results of ongoing operations. ~~The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the business.~~ Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, such as Net Income. Other items in 2021 include restructure charges of $42 million (severance, facility closure, and inventory write downs) net of related credits of $18 million. Other items in 2020 include impairment charges for Goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, and restructure costs for facility closures, inventory write downs, and severance payments, net of related credits.

At December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, cash and cash equivalents were ~~$1,692~~$1,591 million and total debt was ~~$1,834~~$1,713 million. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately ~~$906~~$783 million of the ~~$1,572~~$1,218 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries and the earnings associated with this cash could be subject to foreign withholding taxes and incremental U.S. taxation if transferred among countries or repatriated to the U.S. If opportunities to invest in the U.S. are greater than available cash balances that are not subject to income tax, rather than repatriating cash, the Company may choose to borrow against its revolving credit facility.

The Company has a ~~$2.0 billion, five-year unsecured~~ revolving credit facility ~~which expires on~~with a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion through October 30, ~~2024.~~2024, and a borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion from October 31, 2024, to October 30, 2025. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus ~~1.125%~~1.25% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of ~~27.2%~~28.3% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the joint venture was in compliance. As of June 30, 2022, the Company ~~was~~had $111 million in ~~compliance.~~borrowings related to this line of credit. The Company has $10 million in payments related to this line of credit due in the next twelve months.

The Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, ~~2021 was $1,686 million and~~2022 consisted primarily of ~~$1,089~~$1,090 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, $494 million in 3.60% Senior Notes, and other debt of ~~$103~~$140 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, ~~2021. Lease~~2022. Long-term lease liabilities totaled ~~$700~~$563 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of $182 million of its 2.60% unsecured Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 using available cash balances. Upon redemption, the Company paid $191 million, which included a redemption premium of $6.8 million as well as accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million, which included the make whole premium of $6.8 million and non-cash charges of $0.3 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029.

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities, continuing investing activities and continuing financing activities for the periods presented (in millions):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,						Six Months Ended
	2021			2020			June 30,
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	150		$	417

Net cash used in financing activities		(182	)		(27	)		(52	)		(182	)

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first six months of ~~2021~~2022

•

Cash flows used in operating activities were $227 million, primarily driven by changes in the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable).

•

Capital expenditures were $89 million.

•

We paid $39 million in dividends to shareholders.

Other

•

~~Cash flows provided by operating activities was $150 million. This included changes in the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable).~~

•

~~Capital expenditures were $97 million.~~

•

~~Repaid $182 million of Senior Notes.~~

~~Other~~

The effect of the change in exchange rates on cash flows was a decrease of $5 million and an increase of $1 ~~million and a decrease of $3~~ million for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively.

We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facilities and from other sources of debt will be sufficient to fund operations, lease payments, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, dividends and financing obligations.

We may pursue additional acquisition candidates, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We continue to expect to fund future cash acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including the unborrowed portion of the revolving credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms acceptable to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

~~Item 3.~~

~~Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk~~

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Additional information concerning each of these matters follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We have extensive operations in foreign countries. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although such fluctuations have a muted effect on net income since the functional currency for the majority of them is the local currency. These operations also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. We recorded a foreign exchange ~~loss~~gain in our income statement of ~~approximately $19~~$5 million in the first six months of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~approximately $3~~a $19 million foreign exchange loss in the same period of the prior year. The gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and adjustments to our hedged positions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may create losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of the ~~countries using the local currency as their functional currency.~~NOV operation.

Some of our revenues in foreign countries are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our earnings to the extent that costs associated with those U.S. dollar revenues are denominated in the local currency. Similarly, some of our revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, but have associated U.S. dollar costs, which also give rise to foreign currency exchange rate exposure. In order to mitigate that risk, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to better match the currency of our revenues and associated costs. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company had other financial market risk sensitive instruments (cash balances, overdraft facilities, accounts receivable and accounts payable) denominated in foreign currencies with transactional exposures totaling ~~$459~~$408 million and translation exposures totaling ~~$344~~$386 million as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10 percent movement of all applicable foreign currency exchange rates on the transactional exposures could affect net income by ~~$36~~$32 million and the translational exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect the future fair value by ~~$34~~$39 million.

The counterparties to forward contracts are major financial institutions. The credit ratings and concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored on a continuing basis. InBecause these contracts are net-settled the ~~event that~~Company’s credit risk with the counterparties ~~fail to meet the terms of a foreign currency contract, our exposure~~ is limited to the foreign currency rate ~~differential.~~differential at the end of the contract.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, borrowings consisted of ~~$1,089~~$1,090 million in 3.95% Senior Notes and $494 million in 3.60% Senior Notes. At June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of funds available under this credit facility. Additionally, the Company’s joint venture has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia. Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. Occasionally a portion of borrowings under our credit facility could be denominated in multiple currencies which could expose us to market risk with exchange rate movements. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from either LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR, or at the U.S. prime rate. Under our credit facility, we may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR for 30 days to six months. Our objective is to maintain a portion of our debt in variable rate borrowings for the flexibility obtained regarding early repayment without penalties and lower overall cost as compared with fixed-rate borrowings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

~~Item 4.~~

~~Controls and Procedures~~

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at a reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

~~Item 1A.~~

~~Risk Factors~~

AsItem 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk described below, in addition to other information contained or incorporated by reference herein. Realization of the ~~date~~following risk could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of ~~this filing, the Company and its operations continue to be subject to the~~operations. The risk factor below updates our risk factors previously ~~disclosed~~discussed in ~~Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in~~ our ~~2020~~ Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.

The Company could be subject to changes in its tax rates, the adoption of new tax legislation, tax audits, or exposure to additional tax liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

We are subject to taxes in the U.S. and numerous jurisdictions where we operate and our subsidiaries are organized. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in the U.S. and other jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. In addition, our tax returns are subject to examination by the U.S. and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. Recently, the Company received and paid a $51 million transfer pricing tax assessment in Denmark. The Company and its advisors believe the assessment is without merit. The Company is presently appealing and believes it will be reimbursed following a successful appeals process. The payment has been recorded as a long term receivable. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the examinations. Furthermore, an increase in tax rates, particularly in the U.S., changes in our ability to realize our deferred tax assets, or adverse outcomes resulting from examinations of our tax returns could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.
