Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Frank’s International N.V. ("FINV"(“FINV”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, is a global provider of highly engineered tubular services, tubular fabrication and specialty well construction and well intervention solutions to the oil and gas industry. FINV provides services and products to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of FINV for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017 include the activities of Frank's International C.V. ("FICV"(“FICV”), Blackhawk Group Holdings, LLC (“Blackhawk”) and itstheir wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "we," "us"“Company,” “we,” “us” or "our"“our”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20162017 is derived from audited financial statements. However, certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(“SEC”) on February 24, 2017 ("27, 2018 (“Annual Report"Report”). In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and GAAP for interim financial reporting, reflect all adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring adjustments that were necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the United States dollar as the reporting currency. Our functional currency is primarily the United States dollar.

Reclassifications

Historically,Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported.
Our financial statements for the three and through December 31, 2016, certain directnine months ended September 30, 2017 have been revised to decrease “cost of revenues, services” and indirect costs related to operations and manufacturing were classified and reported as general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). The historical classification was consistent with the information usedincrease “cost of revenues, products” by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM")following immaterial amounts in order to assess performance ofcorrect a misclassification associated with Blackhawk product costs. While the Company’s segments and make resource allocation decisions, andrevisions do impact two financial statement line items, the classification of such costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations was aligned with the segment presentation. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company changed the classification of certain of these costs in its segment reporting disclosures and within the condensed consolidated statements of operations to reflect a change in the presentation of the information used by the Company’s CODM.revisions had no impact on our net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported (in thousands):

This reclassification of costs between cost of revenue and G&A has no net impact to the condensed consolidated statements of operations or to total segment reporting. The change will better reflect the CODM's philosophy on assessing performance and allocating resources, as well as improve comparability to the Company's peer group. This is a change in costs classification and has been reflected retrospectively for all periods presented.

During 2018, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) changed the methodology used to allocate bonus and medical claims expenses among segments. Previously, all U.S. bonus and medical claims expenses were absorbed by our U.S. Services segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018 for bonus expenses and the second quarter of 2018 for medical claims expenses, a portion of these expenses attributable to Blackhawk employees were allocated to the Blackhawk segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) generally in the form of accounting standards updates ("ASUs"(“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.accounting pronouncements. ASUs not listed below were assessed and were either determined to be not applicable or are expected to have immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position, or results of operations.operations and cash flows.

In June 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with the accounting for employee share-based compensation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify and reduce both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when accounting for a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Management is evaluatingWe adopted the provisions of this new accounting guidance including which period to adopt,on January 1, 2018 and has not determined what impact the adoption willdid not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. The new standard will be applied prospectively, and is effective for public companies for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted the provisions of this new accounting guidance for the Company's annual goodwill impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for business combinations clarifying the definition of a business. The objective of the guidance is to help companies and other organizations which have acquired or sold a business to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance.

In October 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The objective ofWe adopted the guidance is to eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventoryon January 1, 2018 and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences at the time of transfer rather than when the asset is sold to a third party. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption willdid not have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The objective of the guidance is to reduce the existing diversity in practice related to the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues including but not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and is retrospective for all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted including for interim periods. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined whatan impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for credit losses on financial instruments. The guidance includes the replacement of the “incurred loss” approach for recognizing credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses, which considers historical and current information as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance, including which period to adopt, and has not determined what impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In MarchFebruary 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance on equity compensation, which simplifies the accounting for the taxes related to equity-based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a company's payments for tax withholdings should be classified. The ASU also gives an option to recognize actual forfeitures when they occur and clarifies the statement of cash flow presentation for certain components of share-based awards. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and have elected to recognize actual forfeitures when they occur. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issuednew accounting guidance for leases. The main objective of the accounting guidance is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease

liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous GAAP and the new guidance is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and further defines a lease as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct the use of the asset. The accounting guidance requires disclosures by both lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In transition, lessees and lessors are requiredFurther, in July 2018, the FASB amended the new lease accounting standard in an effort to recognize and measure leases atreduce the beginningburden of adoption.

In July 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. Under this guidance, inventory will be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Options that currently exist for market value will be eliminated. The guidance defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices Additionally, we are implementing an enterprise-wide lease management system to assist in the ordinary courseaccounting and are evaluating additional changes to our processes and internal controls to ensure we meet the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. While we are still evaluating its impact, we anticipate that the adoption of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. No other changes were madethe lease accounting standard will have an impact to the current guidance on inventory measurement. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017,Company's consolidated balance sheets and the adoption did not have a material impact on ourdisclosures contained in the notes of its consolidated financial statements. At the present time, we do not anticipate any changes to either the statement of operations or statement of cash flows from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

In May 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance on the recognition of revenue based upon the entity’s contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. Under the new revenue standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five stepfive-step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for severaltwo transition methods: (a) a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or (b) a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements, including additional disclosures of the standard’s application impact to individual financial statement line items. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after that date.

We are currently determining the impacts ofadopted the new standard on our contract portfolio. Our implementation efforts to date include the identification of revenue streams with similar contract structures, performing a detailed review of key contracts by revenue stream and comparing historical policies and practices to the new standard. Our evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements is ongoing and we continue to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impacts of the standard on timing of recognition for various revenues. While we are continuing to perform our analysis, at the present time, we anticipate the adoption of the new standard will have an immaterial impact on revenues from contracts for equipment rentals and services. However, revenues from product sales with bill-and-hold arrangements may be accelerated once we adopt the new standard. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.

Note 2—Noncontrolling Interest

We holdrecognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an economic interest in FICV and are responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to FICV’s business. Effective with the August 2016 conversion of all of Mosing Holdings' Preferred Stock, Mosing Holdings transferred all its interest in FICV to us and the noncontrolling interest associated with Mosing Holdings was eliminated.

Blackhawk Acquisition

On November 1, 2016, we completed a transaction to acquire all outstanding shares in Blackhawk Group Holdings, Inc., the ultimate parent company of Blackhawk Specialty Tools LLC, ("Blackhawk") pursuant to the terms of a definitive merger agreement dated October 6, 2016. Blackhawk is a leading provider of well construction and well intervention services and products and the acquisition will allow us to combine Blackhawk’s cementing tool expertise and well intervention services with our global tubular running services. In conjunction with the acquisition, FI Tools Holdings, LLC, our newly formed subsidiary, merged with and into Blackhawk, with Blackhawk surviving the merger as our wholly-owned subsidiary. The merger consideration was comprised of a combination of $150.4 million of cash on hand and 12.8 million shares of our common stock, on a cash-free, debt-free basis, for total consideration of $294.6 million (based on our closing share price on October 31, 2016 of $11.25 and including working capital adjustments).

The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below includes adjustments for amortization expense for identified intangible assets and depreciation expense based on the fair value and estimated lives of acquired property, plant and equipment.

Note 2—Revenues

DivestituresRevenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Payment terms on services and products generally range from 30 days to 120 days. Given the short-term nature of our service and product offerings, our contracts do not have a significant financing component and the consideration we receive is generally fixed.
Service revenues are recognized over time as services are performed or rendered. We generally perform services either under direct service purchase orders or master service agreements which are supplemented by individual call-out provisions. For customers contracted under such arrangements, an accrual is recorded in unbilled revenue for revenue earned but not yet invoiced.
Revenues on product sales are generally recognized at a point in time when the product has shipped and significant risks of ownership have passed to the customer. The sales arrangements typically do not include a right of return or other similar provisions, nor do they contain any other post-delivery obligations.
Some of our Tubular Sales and Blackhawk segment customers have requested that we store pipe, connectors and other products purchased from us in our facilities. We recognize revenues for these “bill and hold” sales once the following criteria have been met: (1) there is a substantive reason for the arrangement, (2) the product is identified as the customer's asset, (3) the product is ready for delivery to the customer, and (4) we cannot use the product or direct it to another customer.

In March 2017, we sold a fully depreciated aircraft for a total sales price of $1.3 million and recorded a gain on sale of $1.3 million.Practical Expedients

In August 2017, we sold an additional aircraft for a netWe elected to apply certain practical expedients available under the new revenue standard. We elected to expense cost of obtaining contracts, such as sales pricecommissions, when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less due to the length of $4.9 million and recorded anour contracts. We have also elected not to assess immaterial loss.

In September 2017, we sold a buildingpromises in the Middle East regioncontext of our contracts as performance obligations and to exclude taxes from the assessment of transaction price in arrangements where taxes are collected by the entity from a customer.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for a net sales pricecontracts with an original expected duration of $2.7 millionone year or less. Because our contracts with customers are short-term in nature and recorded a gain on sale of $0.6 million.

Note 9—8—Debt

At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $2.8 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Credit Facility

We havehad a $100.0 million revolving credit facility with certain financial institutions, including up to $20.0 million in letters of credit and up to $10.0 million in swingline loans, which maturesmatured in August 2018 (the “Credit Facility”). Subject to the terms of the Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $150.0 million. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $2.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding and no outstanding borrowings under this facility. As of September 30, 2017, our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility has been reduced to approximately $30 million as a result of our decreased Adjusted EBITDA. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be further reduced or eliminated depending on our future Adjusted EBITDA. As a result of this, our overall liquidity would be diminished.

Borrowings underDuring the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either a base rate or an adjusted Eurodollar rate. Base rate loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage ratio. Interest is in each case payable quarterly for base-rate loans. Eurodollar loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at an adjusted Eurodollar rate equal to the Eurodollar rate for such interest period multiplied by the statutory reserves, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%. Interest is payable at the end of applicable interest periods for Eurodollar loans, except that if the interest period for a Eurodollar loan is longer than three months, interest is paid at

the end of each three-month period. The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% based on certain leverage ratios.

The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, enter into mergers or acquisitions, enter into hedging transactions, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions, incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain asset dispositions.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, among other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain: (i) a ratio of total consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.5 to 1.0 and (ii) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

In addition, the Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, the failure to make required payments, the failure to comply with certain covenants or other agreements, breach of the representations and covenants contained in the agreements, default of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and the occurrence of a change in control.

On April 28, 2017, the Company obtained a limited waiver under its Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 14, 2013, by and among FICV (as borrower), Amegy Bank National Association (as administrative agent), Capital One, National Association (as syndication agent) and the other lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"), of its leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (the “Waiver”) in order to not be in default for firstfourth quarter of 2017 testing. The Company agreed to comply with the following conditions during the period from the effective date of the Waiver until the delivery of its compliance certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017: (i) maintain no less than $250.0 million in liquidity; (ii) abide by certain restrictions regarding the issuance of senior unsecured debt; and (iii) pay interest and commitment fees based on the highest “Applicable Margin” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) level. In connection with the Waiver, the Company paid2018, we entered into a waiver fee to each lender that executed the Waiver equal to five basis points of the respective lender’s commitment under the Credit Agreement.

Citibank Credit Facility

In 2016, we entered into a three-year credit facility with Citibank N.A., UAE Branch in the amount of $6.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and guarantees. The credit facility also allows for open ended guarantees. Outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest of 1.25% per annum for amounts outstanding up to one year. Amounts outstanding more than one year bear interest at 1.5% per annum. As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, we had $2.5$2.3 million and $2.2$2.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

Insurance Notes Payable

In 2017, we entered into three notes to finance our annual insurance premiums totaling $5.1 million. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.9% with a final maturity date in October 2018. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding balance was $0.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Our derivative financial instruments consist of short-duration foreign currency forward contracts. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is based on quoted market values including foreign exchange forward rates and interest rates. The fair value is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value. Derivative financial instruments are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accounts receivable, netpayable and accrued and other current liabilities at both September 30, 20172018 and in accounts receivable, net, at December 31, 2016.2017.

Our investments associated with our deferred compensation plan consist primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our investments change as a result of contributions, payments, and fluctuations in the market. Our liabilities associated with our deferred compensation plan are included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Assets and liabilities, measured using significant observable inputs, are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements, which are derived from the fair value of the funds' underlying investments. We also have marketable securities in publicly traded equity securities as an indirect result of strategic investments. They are reported at fair value based on the price of the stock and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

We apply the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to our non-recurring, non-financial measurements including business combinations and assets identified as held for sale, as well as impairment related to goodwill and other long-lived assets. For business combinations (see Note 3 - Acquisition and Divestitures), the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a discounted cash flow model for most intangibles as well as market assumptions for the valuation of equipment and other fixed assets. We utilize a discounted cash flow model in evaluating impairment



1816

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

considerations related to goodwill and long-lived assets. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the discounted cash flow models are deemed to use Level 3 inputs.

Other Fair Value Considerations

The carrying values on our condensed consolidated balance sheet of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and lines of credit approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

Note 11— 10—Derivatives

We enter into short-duration foreign currency forward derivative contracts to reduce the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. We use these instruments to mitigate our exposure to non-local currency operating working capital. We record these contracts at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although the derivative contracts will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments during a period will be included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our derivative transactions are governed through International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements. These agreements include stipulations regarding the right of offset in the event that we or our counterparty default on our performance obligations.

Note 12—11—Related Party Transactions

We have engaged in certain transactions with other companies related to us by common ownership. We have entered into various operating leases to lease facilities from these affiliated companies. The majority of these lease obligations expire in 2018 and, at our discretion, may be extended for an additional 36 months subject to agreement on pricing of the extension. These leases may be extended or allowed to expire by us depending on operational needs, market prices and the ability for us to negotiate and secure, at our discretion, alternative leases or replacement locations. Rent expense associated with our related party leases was $1.1 million and $1.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 2016,$5.0 million and $5.3 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively.

We are depreciating the costs associated with these buildings over their estimated useful lives of approximately 39 years, which exceeds the remaining lease terms that primarily expire in 2018. Upon expiration of the leases, leasehold improvements could be construed as becoming the property of the related party lessors. As of September 30, 2017, the net book value associated with leasehold and land improvements we constructed on properties subject to related party leases was $13.4 million, a portion of which is in construction in progress. It is our intent to extend, renew, or replace the related party property leases such that we have unrestricted use of the buildings and improvements throughout their estimated useful lives. Extension, renewal or replacement of the related party property leases is dependent on negotiations with related parties, the failure of which could result in material disputes with the related parties. In the event we do not extend, renew, orleases.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Mosing Holdings and its permitted transferees converted all their Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis on August 26, 2016, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions, by delivery of an equivalent portion of their interests in

FICV to us (the “Conversion”). FICV will makemade an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the Section 754 election, the Conversion will resultresulted in an adjustment to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of FICV with respect to the portion of FICV now held by FINV. These adjustments will be allocated to FINV. The adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of FICV described above would not have been available absent this Conversion. The basis adjustments may reduce the amount of tax that FINV would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These basis adjustments may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

The tax receivable agreement (the "TRA")TRA that we entered into with FICV and Mosing Holdings in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"(“IPO”) generally provides for the payment by FINV of 85% of the amount of the actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax (which reductions we refer to as “cash savings”) in periods after our IPO as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the Conversion and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for payment by us of interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the TRA. The payments under the TRA will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the TRA having a continued ownership interest in either FICV or FINV. We will retain the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any.

The estimation of the liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2017,2018, FINV has a cumulative loss over the prior 36-month period. Based on this history of losses, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of future taxable income, we are no longer ableunable to conclude that there will be future cash savings that will lead to additional payouts under the TRA beyond the estimated $2.1$7.4 million as of September 30, 2017 that represents 85% of the cash tax savings estimated to be realized in the 2016 federal income tax return of FINV.2018. Additional TRA liability may be recognized in the future based on changes in expectations regarding the timing and likelihood of future cash savings.

The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and are not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless FINV elects to exercise its sole right to terminate the TRA early. If FINV elects to terminate the TRA early, which it may do so in its sole discretion, it would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future benefits. In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control. In these situations, FINV’s obligations under the TRA could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes

of control. For example, if the TRA were terminated on September 30, 2017,2018, the estimated termination payment would be approximately $102.0$55.7 million (calculated using a discount rate of 5.63%6.13%). The foregoing number is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially.

Because FINV is a holding company with no operations of its own, its ability to make payments under the TRA is dependent on the ability of FICV to make distributions to it in an amount sufficient to cover FINV’s obligations under such agreements; this ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of FICV’s subsidiaries to provide payments to it. The ability of FICV and its subsidiaries to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, the applicable provisions of Dutch law that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and restrictions in our debt instruments. To the extent that FINV is unable to make payments under the TRA for any reason, except in the case of an acceleration of payments thereunder occurring in connection with an early termination of the TRA or certain mergers or change of control, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid, and FINV will be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.

Note 13 - 12—Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income

(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares were issued.

We apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average common shares represented by the unvested restricted stock units and ESPP shares. Through August 26, 2016, the date of the conversion of all of Mosing Holdings' Preferred Stock and Mosing Holdings' transfer of interest in FICV to us, the diluted income (loss) per share calculation assumed the conversion of 100% of our outstanding Preferred Stock on an as if converted basis. Accordingly, the numerator was also adjusted to include the earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest after taking into account the tax effect of such exchange.

Note 14—13—Income Taxes

For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual tax rate based on projected pre-tax income (loss) for the full year and record a quarterly income tax provision (benefit) in accordance with accounting guidance for income taxes. As the year progresses, we refine the estimate of the year's pre-tax income (loss) as new information becomes available. The continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust the income tax provision (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the most current expected annual tax rate.

Our effective tax rate on income (loss) before income taxes was 51.6% and 97.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 13.9%2017, respectively, and 2.5% and 327.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in tax rates as compared to the same periods last year is primarily due to recording valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. In both periods we recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets accrued in that period. However, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 327.7% and 14.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The higher rate is due primarily to recordingwe also recorded valuation allowances against ourthe net deferred tax assets.assets that had been accrued for all periods prior to 2017. The deferredrecording of valuation allowances against the accumulated pre-2017 balances resulted in significantly higher tax assets relate to net operating losses, outside basis differencesexpense in our partnership investment and other timing differences primarily associated with our U.S. operations.2017.

In determining that a valuation allowance must be recorded in the current period, we assessed the available positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is not more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income would be generated to permit the use of our deferred tax assets. This conclusion is primarily the result of cumulative losses incurred in the most recent three yearthree-year period, and uncertainty regarding when we will return to profitability. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable and the related need for a valuation allowance may be adjusted in future periods as the available evidence changes.

We are under audit by the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for the years 2014 - 2016. We do not expect the results of these audits to have any material effect on our financial statements.

Note 15—14—Commitments and Contingencies

We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. We had no material accruals for loss contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. We believe the probability is remote that the ultimate outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are conducting an internal investigation of the operations of certain of our foreign subsidiaries in West Africa including possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our extensive internal review to the SEC, the United StatesU.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other governmental entities. It is our intent to continue to fully cooperate with these agencies and any other applicable authorities in connection with any further investigation that may be conducted in connection with this matter. While our review has not indicated that there has been any material impact on our previously filed financial statements, we have continued to collect information and cooperate with the authorities, but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies.

In addition, during the course of the investigation, we discovered historical business transactions (and bids to enter into business transactions) in certain countries that may have been subject to U.S. and other international sanctions. We have disclosed this information to various governmental entities (including thosethe U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) (as well as to the agencies involved in our ongoing investigation), but atinvestigation discussed above). We received a No Action Letter dated April 20, 2018 from OEE, stating that OEE had closed its investigation without taking further action. In addition, we received a No Action Letter dated April 23, 2018 from OFAC, stating that OFAC had closed its investigation without taking further action.

As disclosed above, our investigation into possible violations of the FCPA remains ongoing, and we will continue to cooperate with the SEC, DOJ and other relevant governmental entities in connection therewith. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies, including any financial impact to us. Our board and management are committed to continuously enhancing our internal controls that support improved compliance and transparency throughout our global operations.

Note 16—15—Segment Information

Reporting Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company's CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. We are comprised of four reportable segments: International Services, U.S. Services, Tubular Sales and Blackhawk.

The International Services segment provides tubular services in international offshore markets and in several onshore international regions. Our customers in these international markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including integrated oil and gas companies and national oil and gas companies.companies, and other oilfield services companies.

The U.S. Services segment provides tubular services in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions in the U.S., including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, MarcellusMarcellus/Utica Shale, DJNiobrara Shale, Woodford Shale, Green River Basin and Utica Shale,Uintah Basin, as well as in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

The Tubular Sales segment designs, manufactures and distributes large outside diameter ("OD"(OD) pipe, connectors and casing attachments and sells large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills. We also provide specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long length tubulars (up to 300 feet in length) for use as caissons or pilings. This segment also designs and manufactures proprietary equipment for use in our International and U.S. Services segments.

The Blackhawk segment provides well construction and well intervention rental equipment, services and products, in addition to cementing tool expertise, in the U.S. and Mexican Gulf of Mexico, onshore U.S. and other select international locations. Blackhawk’s customer base consists primarily of major and independent oil and gas companies as well as other oilfield services companies.

Revenues

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by geography for each of our segments, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

basedequity-based compensation, unrealized and realized gain or loss, the effects of the TRA, other non-cash adjustments and other charges. We review Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and on a segment basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), income tax, foreign currency exchange rates and other charges and credits. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Previously reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been adjusted for investigation-related matters by $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, as management believes removing the effect of these items allows for better comparability across periods.

Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of segment reporting performance.

NewAsset Based Revolving Credit Facility

On November 5, 2018, FICV, Frank's International, LLC and Blackhawk, as borrowers, and FINV, certain of FINV's subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank's International GP, LLC, Frank's International, LP, Frank's International LP B.V., Frank's International Partners B.V., Frank's International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., as guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “ABL Agent”), and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million including up to $15.0 million available for letters of credit. Subject to the terms of the New ABL Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $200.0 million. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the New ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to customary reserves and other adjustments.

All obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by FINV's subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank's International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank's International GP, LLC, Frank's International, LP, Frank's International LP B.V., Frank's International Partners B.V., Frank's International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. In addition, the obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets and property of the borrowers and guarantors, including pledges of equity interests in certain of FINV's subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility bear interest at FINV's option at either (a) the Alternate Base Rate (ABR) (as defined therein), calculated as the greatest of (i) the rate of interest publicly quoted by the Wall Street Journal, as the “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, (ii) the federal funds effective rate that is subject to a 0.00% interest rate floor plus 0.50%, and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.00%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for ABR loans and 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on FINV's leverage ratio. The unused portion of the New ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average daily unused commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility. Interest on Eurodollar loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on ABR loans is payable monthly in arrears.

The New ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit, subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds, FINV's ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments, acquisitions, or loans and create or incur liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The New ABL Credit Facility also requires FINV to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein), when either (i) an event of default occurs under the New ABL Facility or (ii) availability under the New ABL Credit Facility falls for at least two consecutive calendar days below the greater of (A) $12.5 million and (B) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments (a “FCCR Trigger Event”). Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the New ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. After a FCCR Trigger Event, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash flowsdominion. After a FCCR Trigger Event, the Company will be subject to compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and non-cash transactions were as follows“springing” cash dominion until no default exists under the New ABL Credit Facility and availability under the facility for the periods indicated (in thousands):

If FINV fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The New ABL Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to FINV's other indebtedness.

As of November 6, 2018, FINV had no borrowings outstanding under the New ABL Credit Facility, no letters of credit outstanding under the New ABL Credit Facility and availability of $44.7 million.

Related Party Leases

On November 2, 2018, Frank’s International, LLC entered into a purchase agreement with Mosing Ventures, LLC, Mosing Land & Cattle Company, LLC, Mosing Queens Row Properties, LLC, and 4-M Investments, each of which are companies related to us by common ownership (the “Mosing Companies”). Under the purchase agreement we will acquire real property that we currently lease from the Mosing Companies, and two additional properties located adjacent to those properties. The total purchase price is $36.0 million. Following the execution date, we will have 30 days to identify title defects, and if title defects we identify are not cured, we may terminate the agreement. The properties will be conveyed as-is, except that until 10 years following the Closing Date, the parties will continue to have certain rights and obligations under the terms of the agreements by which some of the purchased properties were acquired by the Mosing Companies at the time of our initial public offering. We expect the purchase to close by the end of 2018.

We have made improvements on the purchased properties during the lease period, and the purchase price was calculated excluding the value of those improvements. Once the purchase closes, we will no longer lease the acquired properties from the Mosing Companies. See Note 11—Related Party Transactions.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report.

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statement because of various factors, including those described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

Overview of Business

We are a global provider of highly engineered tubular services, tubular fabrication and specialty well construction and well intervention solutions to the oil and gas industry and have been in business for over 75 years. We provide our services and products to leading exploration and production companies in both offshore and onshore environments, with a focus on complex and technically demanding wells.

We conduct our business through four operating segments:

International Services. WeThe International Services segment currently provide ourprovides tubular services in approximately 6050 countries on six continents. Our customers in these international markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including integrated oil and gas companies and national oil and gas companies.companies, and other oilfield services companies.

U.S. Services. We serviceThe U.S. Services segment services customers in the offshore areas of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In addition, we have a presence in the active onshore oil and gas drilling regions in the U.S., including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Haynesville Shale, MarcellusMarcellus/Utica Shale, DJNiobrara Shale, Woodford Shale, Green River Basin and Utica Shale.Uintah Basin.

Tubular Sales. We design, manufactureThe Tubular Sales segment designs, manufactures and distributedistributes large OD pipe, connectors and casing attachments and sellsells large OD pipe originally manufactured by various pipe mills. We also provide specialized fabrication and welding services in support of offshore projects, including drilling and production risers, flowlines and pipeline end terminations, as well as long-length tubulars (up to 300 feet in length) for use as caissons or pilings. This segment also designs and manufactures proprietary equipment for use in our International and U.S. Services segments.

Blackhawk. We provideThe Blackhawk segment provides well construction and well intervention rental equipment, services and products, in addition to cementing tool expertise, in the U.S. and Mexican Gulf of Mexico, onshore U.S. and other select international locations.Blackhawk’s customer base consists primarily of major and independent oil and gas companies as well as other oilfield services companies.

Market Outlook

The marketWe expect to see a continued increase in customer demand for our products and services continues to be challenged by depressed oil and gas commodity prices and reduced customer spending on offshore exploration and development projects. Despite some stabilization in commodity prices and increases in U.S. onshore activity and profitability, commodity prices remain below levels necessary for meaningful increases in offshore activity, particularly in the markets of West Africa and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Forover the remainder of 2017, we expect2018 based on current commodity price levels and anticipated capital spending on oil and natural gas exploration and production activities. However, much of the anticipated capital spending is likely to be associated with onshore or shallow water offshore projects that contribute lower revenue and margins to the Company than deep water offshore projects. The deep and ultra-deep offshore markets are showing signs of improvement, but are not projected to see further deterioration ofsignificant increases in activity or pricing over the near term. In response, we are expanding our products and activity inservices historically weighted to the U.S. Gulf of Mexicomarket, including specialty cementing equipment and consequently, our Tubular Sales business segment. International markets are beginningdrilling tool technologies, to show signs of stabilization and the potential for reaching an activity bottom in the next twelve months. We expect to see growth in our Blackhawk segment both in the U.S. onshore and in select international markets, during the next several quarters as we expand itslowering costs through operational footprint. In order to offset some of the declines in activityefficiency gains and pricing, we continue to look for waysprioritizing customers and projects intended to improve our operational efficiencymarket share and grow share in markets in which we have historically been underrepresented, including international land and shelf opportunities. We also continue to evaluate potentialprofitability.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a number of financial and operational measures to routinely analyze and evaluate the performance of our business, including revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and safety performance.

Revenue

We analyze our revenue growth by comparing actual monthly revenue to our internal projections for each month to assess our performance. We also assess incremental changes in our monthly revenue across our operating segments to identify potential areas for improvement.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefit or expense, asset impairments, gain or loss on saledisposal of assets, foreign currency gain or loss, equity-based compensation, unrealized gainand realized gains or loss,losses, the effects of the tax receivable agreement ("TRA"(“TRA”), other non-cash adjustments and other charges or credits. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of our revenues. We review Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin on both a consolidated basis and on a segment basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to assess our financial performance because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), items outside the control of our management team (such as income tax and foreign currency exchange rates) and other charges outside the normal course of business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"(“GAAP”). Previously reported Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September



30 2016 has been adjusted for investigation-related matters by $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, as management believes removing the effect of these items allows for better comparability across periods.

For a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see “Operating Segment Results.”

Safety and Quality Performance

Safety is one of our primary core values. Maintaining a strong safety record is a critical component of our operational success. Many of our customers have safety standards we must satisfy before we can perform services. As a result, we continually monitor and improve our safety performance through the evaluation of safety observations, job and customer surveys, and safety data. The primary measure for our safety performance is the tracking of the Total Recordable Incident Rate in addition to the Lost Time Incident Rate, which areis reviewed on both a monthly and rolling twelve-month basis.

Our business is dependent on our ability to provide highly reliable and safe equipment. If our equipment does not meet statutory regulations and/or our clients do not accept the quality of our equipment, we could encounter loss of contracts and/or loss of reputation, which could materially impact our operations and profitability. Further, the failure of our equipment could subject us to litigation, regulatory fines and/or adverse customer reaction. In addition, equipment certification requirements vary by region and changes in these requirements could impact our ability to operate in certain markets if our tools do not comply with these requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At September 30, 2017,2018, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $293.9$246.6 million and debt of $0.1$0.4 million. Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations. Our primary uses of capital have been for organic growth capital expenditures.

Our total capital expenditures are estimated at $40.0$30.0 million for 2017.2018. We expect to spend approximately $22.0 million for the purchase and manufacture of equipment and $18.0$8.0 million for other property, plant and equipment, inclusive of the purchase or construction of facilities. The actual amount of capital expenditures for the manufacture of equipment may fluctuate based on market conditions.conditions and timing of deliveries.

In addition, the obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets and property of the borrowers and guarantors, including pledges of equity interests in certain of FINV's subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Interest on certain leverage ratios.Eurodollar loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on ABR loans is payable monthly in arrears.

The New ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants that,and restrictive provisions which limit, subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds, FINV's ability to, among other things, limit our ability to grant certain liens,(1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make certaininvestments, acquisitions, or loans and investments, enter into mergerscreate or acquisitions, enter into hedging transactions, change our lines of business, prepayincur liens; (4) pay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions, incur additional indebtednessdividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in certain asset dispositions.transactions with affiliates. The New ABL Credit Facility also requires FINV to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein), when either (i) an event of default occurs under the New ABL Facility or (ii) availability under the New ABL Credit Facility falls for at least two consecutive calendar days below the greater of (A) $12.5 million and (B) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments (a “FCCR Trigger Event”). Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the New ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. After a FCCR Trigger Event, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion. After a FCCR Trigger Event, the Company will be subject to compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and “springing” cash dominion until no default exists under the New ABL Credit Facility and availability under the facility for the preceding thirty consecutive days has been equal to at least the greater of (x) $12.5 million and (y) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. If FINV fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility could be terminated


37


and any outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The New ABL Credit Facility also contains financial covenants, which, amongcross default provisions that apply to FINV's other things, require us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain: (i) a ratio of total consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 2.5 to 1.0 and (ii) a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.indebtedness.

In addition,As of November 6, 2018, FINV had no borrowings outstanding under the New ABL Credit Facility, contains customary eventsno letters of default, including, among others, the failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants or other agreements, breach of the representations and covenants contained in the agreements, default of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and the occurrence of a change in control.

On April 28, 2017, the Company obtained a limited waiver under its Revolving Credit Agreement, dated August 14, 2013, by and among FICV (as borrower), Amegy Bank National Association (as administrative agent), Capital One, National Association (as syndication agent) and the other lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"), of its leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (the “Waiver”) in order to not be in default for first quarter of 2017 testing. The Company agreed to comply with the following conditions during the period from the effective date of the Waiver until the delivery of its compliance certificate with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017: (i) maintain no less than $250.0 million in liquidity; (ii) abide by certain restrictions regarding the issuance of senior unsecured debt; and (iii) pay interest and commitment fees based on the highest “Applicable Margin” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) level. In connection with the Waiver, the Company paid a waiver fee to each lender that executed the Waiver equal to five basis points of the respective lender’s commitmentcredit outstanding under the New ABL Credit Agreement. AsFacility and availability of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants included in the Credit Agreement.$44.7 million.

Citibank Credit Facility

In 2016, we entered into a three-year credit facility with Citibank N.A., UAE Branch in the amount of $6.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit and guarantees. The credit facility also allows for open ended guarantees. Outstanding amounts under the credit facility bear interest of 1.25% per annum for amounts outstanding up to one year. Amounts outstanding more than one year bear interest at 1.5% per annum. As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, we had $2.5$2.3 million and $2.2$2.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

Insurance Notes Payable

In 2017, we entered into three notes to finance our annual insurance premiums totaling $5.1 million. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.9% with a final maturity date in October 2018. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total outstanding balance was $0.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) with Frank's International C.V. ("FICV"(“FICV”) and Mosing Holdings, LLC ("(“Mosing Holdings"Holdings”) in connection with our initial public offering ("IPO"(“IPO”). The TRA generally provides for the payment by us to Mosing Holdings of 85% of the amount of the actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax in periods after our IPO (which reductions we refer to as "cash savings"“cash savings”) as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the transfer of FICV interests to us in connection with the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock on August 26, 2016 and (ii) imputed


36


interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the TRA. We will retain the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any. The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA continues until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA.

If we elect to execute our sole right to terminate the TRA early, we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control.

In certain circumstances, we may be required to make payments under the TRA that we have entered into with Mosing Holdings. In most circumstances, these payments will be associated with the actual cash savings that we recognize in connection with the conversion of Preferred Stock, which would reduce the actual tax benefit to us. If we were to elect to exercise our sole right to terminate the TRA early or enter into certain change of control transactions, we may incur payment obligations prior to the time we actually incur any tax benefit. In those circumstances, we would need to pay the amounts out of cash on hand, finance the payments or refrain from triggering the obligation. Though we do not have any present intention of triggering an advance payment under the TRA, based on our current liquidity and our expected ability to access debt and equity financing, we believe we would be able to make such a payment if necessary. Any such payment could reduce our cash on hand and our borrowing availability, however, which would also reduce the amount of cash available to operate our business, to fund capital expenditures and to be paid as dividends to our stockholders, among other things. Please see Note 12 - 11—Related Party Transactions in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that use the local currency as the functional currency exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are noncash changes. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided byused in operating activities was $24.6$35.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $27.8$24.6 million for the same period in 2016.2017. The decreaseincrease in cash flow used by operating activities of $60.0 million was primarily due to unfavorable changes in net accounts receivable. The cash flow provided by operating activitiesnet accounts receivable in 2017 was primarily due to lower activity as a result of depressed oil and gas prices, which resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable of $58.1 million and inventories of $13.9 million, partially offset


37


by a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $37.8 million, deferred revenue of $20.4 million and other non-current liabilities of $8.7 million.tax refunds.

Investing Activities

Cash flow used in investing activities was $57.2$9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to $17.457.2 million in the same period in 2016.2017. The increase in cash flow used in investing activitiesdecrease of $48.0 million was primarily related to the purchase ofa net increase in proceeds from investments of $59.8$50.2 million, partially offset by lower purchases of property, plant and equipment of $11.2 million and higher proceeds from the sale of assets of $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.$6.3 million.

Financing Activities

Cash flow used in financing activities was $51.6$4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 compared to $79.851.6 million in the same period in 2016.2017. The decrease in cash flow used in financing activities of $47.0 million was primarily due to lower dividend payments on common stock of $11.9$50.4 million, the absence of a payment to our noncontrolling interest of $8.0 million madepartially offset by an increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and lower repayments on borrowings of $6.9$4.1 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements with the exception of operating leases.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report.Report with the exception of revenue recognition. Please see Note 2—Revenues in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Report. Except for the change below, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2016.2017.

We account for our derivative activities under the accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging. Derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Although the derivative contracts will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments during a period will be included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Based on the derivative contracts that were in place as of September 30, 2017,2018, a simultaneous 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar, Euro, Norwegian krone, and Pound sterling would result in a $2.4$3.0 million decrease in the market value of our forward contracts. Please see Item 1.Note 10—Derivatives in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 11 - Derivatives for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2017.2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20172018 at the reasonable assurance level.

(b)Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. We had no material accruals for loss contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. We believe the probability is remote that the ultimate outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Please see Note 15 - 14—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are conducting an internal investigation of the operations of certain of our foreign subsidiaries in West Africa including possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our extensive internal review to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the United StatesU.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and other governmental entities. It is our intent to continue to fully cooperate with these agencies and any other applicable authorities in connection with any further investigation that may be conducted in connection with this matter. While our review has not indicated that there has been any material impact on our previously filed financial statements, we have continued to collect information and cooperate with the authorities, but at this time are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies.

In addition, during the course of the investigation, we discovered historical business transactions (and bids to enter into business transactions) in certain countries that may have been subject to U.S. and other international sanctions. We have disclosed this information to various governmental entities (including thosethe U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) (as well as to the agencies involved in our ongoing investigation), but atinvestigation discussed above). We received a No Action Letter dated April 20, 2018 from OEE, stating that OEE had closed its investigation without taking further action. In addition, we received a No Action Letter dated April 23, 2018 from OFAC, stating that OFAC had closed its investigation without taking further action.

As disclosed above, our investigation into possible violations of the FCPA remains ongoing, and we will continue to cooperate with the SEC, DOJ and other relevant governmental entities in connection therewith. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies, including any financial impact to us. Our board and management are committed to continuously enhancing our internal controls that support improved compliance and transparency throughout our global operations.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, as well as the risk factor below, which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Restrictions in the agreement governing the New ABL Credit Facility could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operating and financial restrictions in the New ABL Credit Facility and any future financing agreements could restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs, or otherwise pursue our business activities. For example, the New ABL Credit Facility limits our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

incur debt or issue guarantees;    
incur or permit certain liens to exist;
make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments;    
dispose of assets;    


41


engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates;
merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and
prepay certain indebtedness.

Furthermore, the New ABL Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein) when availability under the New ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of (a) $12.5 million and (b) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments. Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the New ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. In the event FINV does not maintain the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio discussed above, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion.
In addition, any borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be at variable rates of interest that expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed will remain the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease.
A failure to comply with the covenants in the agreement governing the New ABL Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would permit the exercise of remedies against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Remedies under the New ABL Credit Facility include foreclosure on the collateral securing the indebtedness and termination of the commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility, and any outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.

Item 5.     Other Information

NewAsset Based Revolving Credit Facility

On November 5, 2018, FICV, Frank's International, LLC and Blackhawk, as borrowers, and FINV, certain of FINV's subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank’s International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank's International GP, LLC, Frank's International, LP, Frank's International LP B.V., Frank's International Partners B.V., Frank's International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., as guarantors, entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New ABL Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “ABL Agent”), and other financial institutions as lenders with total commitments of $100.0 million including up to $15.0 million available for letters of credit. Subject to the terms of the New ABL Credit Facility, we have the ability to increase the commitments to $200.0 million. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow under the New ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, subject to customary reserves and other adjustments.

All obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by FINV's subsidiaries, including FICV, Frank's International, LLC, Blackhawk, Frank's International GP, LLC, Frank's International, LP, Frank's International LP B.V., Frank's International Partners B.V., Frank's International Management B.V., Blackhawk Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Blackhawk Specialty Tools, LLC, and Trinity Tool Rentals, L.L.C., subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. In addition, the obligations under the New ABL Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets and property of the borrowers and guarantors, including pledges of equity interests in certain of FINV's subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility bear interest at FINV's option at either (a) the Alternate Base Rate (ABR) (as defined therein), calculated as the greatest of (i) the rate of interest publicly quoted by the Wall Street Journal, as the “prime rate,” subject to each increase or decrease in such prime rate effective as of the date such change occurs, (ii) the federal funds effective rate that is subject to a 0.00% interest rate floor plus 0.50%, and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.00%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined therein), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable interest rate margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum for ABR loans and 2.00% to 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans and, in each case, is based on FINV's leverage ratio. The unused portion of the New ABL Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee that varies from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, according to average daily unused commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility. Interest on Eurodollar loans is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. Interest on ABR loans is payable monthly in arrears.

The New ABL Credit Facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions which limit, subject to certain customary exceptions and thresholds, FINV's ability to, among other things, (1) enter into asset sales; (2) incur additional indebtedness; (3) make investments, acquisitions, or loans and create or incur liens; (4) pay certain dividends or make other distributions and (5) engage in transactions with affiliates. The New ABL Credit Facility also requires FINV to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein), when either (i) an event of default occurs under the New ABL Facility or (ii) availability under the New ABL Credit Facility falls for at least two consecutive calendar days below the greater of (A) $12.5 million and (B) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments (a “FCCR Trigger Event”). Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the New ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. After a FCCR Trigger Event, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion. After a FCCR Trigger Event, the Company will be subject to compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and “springing” cash dominion until no default exists under the New ABL Credit Facility and availability under the facility for the preceding thirty consecutive days has been equal to at least the greater of (x) $12.5 million and (y) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the aggregate commitments. If FINV fails to perform its obligations under the agreement that results in an event of default, the commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility could be terminated


43


and any outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. The New ABL Credit Facility also contains cross default provisions that apply to FINV's other indebtedness.

As of November 6, 2018, FINV had no borrowings outstanding under the New ABL Credit Facility, no letters of credit outstanding under the New ABL Credit Facility and availability of $44.7 million.

Related Party Leases

On November 2, 2018, Frank’s International, LLC entered into a purchase agreement with Mosing Ventures, LLC, Mosing Land & Cattle Company, LLC, Mosing Queens Row Properties, LLC, and 4-M Investments, each of which are companies related to us by common ownership (the “Mosing Companies”). Under the purchase agreement we will acquire real property that we currently lease from the Mosing Companies, and two additional properties located adjacent to those properties. The total purchase price is $36.0 million. Following the execution date, we will have 30 days to identify title defects, and if title defects we identify are not cured, we may terminate the agreement. The properties will be conveyed as-is, except that until 10 years following the Closing Date, the parties will continue to have certain rights and obligations under the terms of the agreements by which some of the purchased properties were acquired by the Mosing Companies at the time of our initial public offering. We expect the purchase to close by the end of 2018.

We have made improvements on the purchased properties during the lease period, and the purchase price was calculated excluding the value of those improvements. Once the purchase closes, we will no longer lease the acquired properties from the Mosing Companies. See Note 11—Related Party Transactions in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
