Unless the lifecyclecontext requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “ChampionX” mean ChampionX Corporation, together with our subsidiaries where the context requires.

On June 3, 2020, the Company and Ecolab Inc. (“Ecolab”) completed a Reverse Morris Trust transaction in which Ecolab transferred their upstream energy business to Champion X Holding, Inc. (“legacy ChampionX”) and, thereafter, distributed all of the shares of legacy ChampionX common stock to certain Ecolab stockholders (“the Distribution”). Immediately following the Distribution, a well—from drilling to completion to production.

Apergy Corporation was formed for the purpose of holding entities, assets and liabilities conducting Dover’s upstream oil and gas business within Dover’s Energy segment. In accordance with the separation and distribution agreement, the two companies were separated by Dover distributing to Dover’s stockholders all 77,339,828common shares of common stock of Apergy on May 9, 2018. Each Dover shareholder received one share of Apergy stock for every two shares of Dover stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 30, 2018. In conjunction with the Separation, Dover received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of Apergy common stock was not taxable to Dover or U.S. holders of Dover common stock, except in respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests. Following the Separation, Dover retained no ownership interest in Apergy, and each company, as of May 9, 2018, has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration on Form 10, as amended, describing the Separation was filed by Apergy with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and was declared effective on April 19, 2018. On May 9, 2018, Apergy common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the “APY” symbol.symbol “CHX”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed combined financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Dover. These financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of certain Dover entities conducting its upstream oil and gas energy business within Dover’s Energy segment, including an allocated portion of Dover’s corporate costs. Although the legal transfer of these businesses from Dover to Apergy occurred subsequent to March 31, 2018, for ease of reference, and unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Apergy Corporation,” “Apergy,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer (i) prior to the Separation, to the Apergy businesses, consisting of entities, assets and liabilities conducting the upstream oil and gas business within Dover’s Energy segment and (ii) after the Separation, to Apergy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

These financial statements have been presented as if such businesses had been combined for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Dover were eliminated. The assets and liabilities in the condensed combined financial statements were reflected on a historical cost basis, as immediately prior to the Separation, all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by Dover and were transferred within the Dover consolidated group. The condensed combined statements of income also include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by Dover and not allocated to its operating segments, including corporate executive management, human resources, information

technology, facilities, tax, shared services, finance and legal, including the costs of salaries, benefits and other related costs. These expense allocations were based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measures. Our management believes the assumptions underlying these condensed combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of corporate expenses from Dover, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the condensed combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented and consequently may not reflect our combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a variety of factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.

Transactions between Apergy and Dover, with the exception of transactions discussed in Note 3 — Related Party Transactions, are reflected in “total net investment” in the condensed combined balance sheets as part of “net parent investment in Apergy” and in the condensed combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity in “net transfers to parent company.” See Note 3 — Related Party Transactions for additional information.

No portion of Dover’s third-party debt was historically held by an Apergy entity or was transferred to Apergy; therefore, no debt was included in the condensed combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and no interest expense was presented in the condensed combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Intercompany notes payable to Dover of $221.4 million and $224.5 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were presented within “net parent investment in Apergy” because the notes were not settled in cash. Accordingly, no interest expense related to intercompany debt was presented in the condensed combined statements of income for each of the periods presented. Additionally, our U.S. cash was historically pooled to Dover through intercompany advances and consequently is not reflected on our condensed combined balance sheets.

Interim Financial Information


The accompanying unaudited condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements of ApergyChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combinedconsolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, in the Information Statementwhich are included in Amendment No. 1 toour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018.year ended December 31, 2019.


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2020.

Change in Accounting Estimate

During the second quarter, we entered into new commercial agreements, which changed the economics of the leased asset program of our Electrical Submersible Pump (“ESP”) subsidiary in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. As such, we re-evaluated the estimated useful life and salvage value of our assets based on the combination of new commercial contracts and historical operating trends related to the aging of our lease fleet, including functioning assets beyond original expected life. Based on our analysis, effective April 1, 2020, we changed our estimate of useful life and salvage values for certain equipment to better reflect the useful life and estimated values of these assets at the end of their useful life. The estimated useful life, previously estimated at 12 months, was increased to 18 months. The estimated salvage value of the equipment, previously estimated at 50%, was decreased to 0%. The effect of the changes in estimate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, was an increase in depreciation expense of $8.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, a decrease in net income of $5.7 million and $17.6 million, and a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.03 per share and $0.13 per share, respectively.

Reclassifications

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we changed our presentation of certain amortization expense primarily related to customer intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we reclassified $10.7 million of amortization expense previously reported as a component of “selling, general and administrative expense” to “cost of goods and services” on our condensed combined statement of income.


Certain prior-yearprior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current yearperiod financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Revisions

We revised our previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, for the correction of immaterial errors related to: (i) the assessing and recording of liabilities for state sales tax and associated penalties and interest, primarily resulting in an understatement of our selling, general, and administrative expense and interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019; and (ii) previously recorded amounts including, but not limited to, the write-off of inventory and leased assets, timing of revenue recognition, and revenue classification, that the Company concluded were immaterial to our previously filed condensed consolidated financial statements. See the following table for the impact of the corrections on our condensed consolidated financial statements:

NOTE 2—MERGER TRANSACTION
Table
On June 3, 2020 we completed the acquisition of Contentsthe legacy ChampionX business through the merger of one of our wholly owned subsidiaries with legacy ChampionX. Immediately prior to the Merger, Ecolab transferred their upstream energy business to legacy ChampionX. Pursuant to the Merger, shares of Ecolab common stock that were tendered through an exchange offer were converted into common shares of legacy ChampionX on a 1-for-24.6667 basis, with each share of legacy ChampionX automatically converting into one share of the Company. To complete the acquisition, we issued 122.2 million shares of common stock, at a share price of $10.34 per share, in exchange for 100% equity ownership of legacy ChampionX. The transaction resulted in legacy ChampionX equityholders owning approximately 62% of the Company on a fully diluted basis, with equityholders of the Company prior to the Merger owning approximately 38% on a fully diluted basis.

Acquisition-related costs associated with the Merger were expensed as incurred and total $3.1 million and $60.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The acquisition-related transaction costs consisted primarily of investment banker fees and legal and accounting costs. 

The Merger constitutes a business combination, with the Company (formerly known as Apergy) treated as the accounting acquirer and legacy ChampionX treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes.

Legacy ChampionX provides on-site, technology-driven chemistry programs and value-enabling solutions and services to the global upstream oil and natural gas industry. 



Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Equity consideration$1,263,931

_______________________
(1) Represents the fair value of the replacement equity awards to the extent services were provided by employees of legacy ChampionX prior to closing. See Note 12—Equity And Cash Incentive Programs for additional information about the replacement equity awards.
(2) As part of the Merger, the Company entered into a Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement with Ecolab in which over a period of approximately three years from the merger date, certain products will be manufactured by one party for the other. The cross selling prices in which each party will transfer their products, and include a take-or-pay element, have been set forth within this agreement and are not reflective of market terms. As a result, we recognized an intangible asset recorded at fair value for the favorable terms and a liability recorded at fair value for the unfavorable terms. The intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year period into cost of goods and services and the liability will be amortized as a component of product revenue.

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair value estimates as of the acquisition date. The measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than debt which was measured using Level 2 measurements, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The excess of the purchase price over such fair values was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based upon a preliminary valuation only and will be finalized upon completion of certain valuation procedures. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas in which the preliminary purchase price allocation is not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, certain working capital items, deferred income taxes and residual goodwill. We will complete the purchase price allocation and valuation during the 12-month period following the Merger date.

The following table provides the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date.

Summary of Significant Fair Value Methods

Inventories
Acquired inventory is comprised of raw materials and finished goods.  The preliminary fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The preliminary fair value of raw materials and supplies was determined based on replacement cost which approximates historical carrying value.  The preliminary fair value step-up of $13.6 million of inventories measured on a First In First Out (“FIFO”) basis is amortized to cost of goods and services in the condensed consolidated financial statements as the inventory is sold, which is expected to be a period of three months from the acquisition date.  For inventories measured on a Last In First Out (“LIFO”) basis, the acquired inventory becomes the LIFO base layer inventory.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
The preliminary fair value of identifiable fixed assets was calculated using a combination of valuation approaches, primarily including the cost approach which adjusts estimates of replacement cost for the age, condition and utility of the associated assets, as well as the market approach to value asset types where market comparable data is available, and is summarized below:
(in thousands)Fair Value Useful Life (years)
Land and land improvements$125,733

Buildings and leasehold improvements207,427
 5 to 40
Machinery, equipment and other337,374
 3 to 20
Capitalized software and computer hardware19,513
 3 to 7
Total property, plant, and equipment acquired$690,047
  


Identifiable Intangible Assets

The preliminary fair values of trademarks, trade names, and developed technology were determined using a relief from royalty methodology which estimates cost savings generated by a company related to the ownership of an asset for which otherwise have had to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. Customer relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method which involves isolating the net earnings attributable to the asset being measured based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable solely to the intangible assets over its remaining useful life. Preliminary fair values are summarized below:
(in thousands)Fair Value Useful Life (years)
Trademarks and trade names$25,000
 15
Developed technology115,000
 7
Customer relationships165,000
 15
Total identifiable intangible assets acquired305,000
 
Favorable supply agreements55,000
 3
Total identifiable intangible assets recognized$360,000
  


The weighted average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets recognized is 10.5 years.

Leases

Lease-related assets and liabilities acquired were remeasured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term utilizing an updated incremental borrowing rate of the Company as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. Right-of-use assets were further adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term is based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. Additionally, the Company has elected short-term lease treatment for those acquired lease contracts which, at the acquisition date, have a remaining lease term of 12 months or less. For the leases acquired through the

Merger, the Company will retain the previous lease classification. This resulted in legacy ChampionX assets and liabilities of $100.6 million and $93.2 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date.

Goodwill

Goodwill of $367.7 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the expected synergies and economies of scale from combining the operations of the Company and legacy ChampionX. Goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. We have allocated goodwill of $278.7 million and $89.0 million to our Production Chemical Technologies and Reservoir Chemical Technologies operating segments, respectively. See Note 5—Goodwill And Intangible Assets for a rollforward of our goodwill balance by operating segment.

Transactions with Ecolab

Certain agreements have been entered into between the Company and Ecolab, including, among others, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement, a Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement, and a Transition Services Agreement, each entered into on the Closing Date; as well as the Employee Matters Agreement entered into on December 18, 2019. Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, Ecolab and its subsidiaries as well as legacy ChampionX and its subsidiaries will provide each other with specified support services and other assistance for a limited time following the closing of the Merger.  Charges for services under the agreement are representative of our best estimate of market price and will be determined on an allocated cost basis, subject to an overall annual aggregate cap.  Revenue recognized under the Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $49.5 million and $67.4 million, respectively. The Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement also includes a take-or-pay element which requires the Company to purchase a minimum of 13.7 million kilograms of product over a ten-year period, approximately $23.3 million. The Company has the option to terminate early beginning in the fifth year upon a two-year’s notice, subject to a termination fee which declines over the contract term.

NOTE 2 — 3—NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards


Effective January 1, 2018,2020, we early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update allows for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to net investment for stranded deferred income tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”). We elected to reclassify these stranded deferred income tax effects which amounted to $1.3 million. The stranded deferred income tax effects were specifically identified with our employee benefit plans and were the result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate against the corresponding deferred income taxes in AOCI. See Note 11 — Income Taxes for additional information.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This update changes the income statement presentation of defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plan expense by requiring separation between operating expense (service cost component of net periodic benefit cost) and non-operating expense (all other components of net periodic benefit cost, including interest cost, amortization of prior service cost, curtailments and settlements, etc.). The operating expense component is reported with similar compensation costs while the non-operating components are reported in “other expense, net” in the condensed combined statements of income. The adoption of this update was not material to the periods presented. We utilized a practical expedient which allows an entity to use amounts previously disclosed in its pension and other post-retirement benefits disclosures for any prior period as the estimation basis for applying the required retrospective presentation requirements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The update also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in FASB guidance for revenue recognition. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Specifically, the new update clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. We adopted this guidance retrospectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the impact of this adoption resulted in a $0.9 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding increase to net cash used by investing activities on our statement of cash flows related to cash expenditures for certain leased assets.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The update introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which 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 update also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the provisions of the ASU to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.

During the second half of 2015, Dover developed a project plan to implement ASU 2014-09, and as a subsidiary of Dover, we were included in Dover’s implementation efforts. We completed the project plan and analyzed the ASU’s impact on our contract portfolio, surveyed our businesses for our various revenue streams, completed contract reviews, and compared our historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new guidance. We also evaluated the new disclosure requirements and identified and implemented appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls. We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective method and identified no cumulative effect adjustment to our total net investment balance as of January 1, 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard was not material to our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Table of Contents



We have applied the following practical expedients or elections under the new standard:

Omission of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
We applied the practical expedient to not capitalize costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within “cost of goods and services” in the condensed combined statements of income.
We elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer, and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. Thus, we may not consider an advance payment to be a significant financing component, if it is received less than one year before product completion.
We elected to exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) from the determination of the transaction price. As a result, our accounting policy of reporting revenue net of these taxes was not changed under the new standard.
We elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed after control of a good has been transferred to the customer as a contract fulfillment cost. As a result, our accounting policy related to shipping and handling was not changed under the new standard.

See Note 9 — Revenue for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases; however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance leaves the accounting for leases by lessors largely unchanged from existing GAAP. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements when adopted. The guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2019.

During the second half of 2017, Dover developed a project plan to implement ASU 2016-02, and as a subsidiary of Dover, we were included in Dover’s implementation efforts. As part of our implementation efforts to date, we are surveying our businesses, assessing our portfolio of leases and compiling a central repository of active leases. Additionally, we have selected a lease software package to aid in our accounting and internal control processes related to leases. Effective with the Separation, we are evaluating our policy elections and considerations under the ASU and are in the process of developing internal policies. We are currently assessing the impacts the ASU will have on our financial statements and related disclosures, internal control over financial reporting and other business practices and processes.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” TheThis update amends the impairment model to utilize an expected credit loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred credit loss methodology which may result in earlier recognition of losses related tofor financial instruments. The guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expectapplied the adoptionprovisions of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.instruments, mostly consisting of trade receivables, as of January 1, 2020. We utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption; therefore, prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with our historical accounting policies. As of January 1, 2020, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $1.6 million, net of $0.4 million of income tax benefit.

Our exposure to credit losses is primarily the result of product sales to our customers, resulting in trade receivables with payment terms generally ranging from 30 days to 90 days. We manage credit risk on trade receivables by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure customers. Accounts receivable are carried at the invoiced amounts, less an

The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses by analyzing accounts receivable balances by applying historical write-off and collection trend rates as well as current economic and market conditions. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the Separation, Dover provided certain services including corporate executive management, human resources, information technology, facilities, tax, shared services, finance and legal services. Dover will continue to provide us certain of these services on a temporary basis following the Separation. See Note 16 — Subsequent Eventsappropriate provision for additional information. The financial information in these unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements does not include all the expensescustomers that would have been incurred had Apergy been a stand-alone public company. The corporate expenses allocated to these financial statements were $5.8 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were recorded in “selling, general and administrative expense” in the condensed combined statements of income.

Transactions between Apergy and Dover, with the exception of transactions discussed below with Dover’s affiliates, are reflected in “net parent investment in Apergy” in the condensed combined balance sheets and in “net transfers to parent company” in the condensed combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable and revenues with Dover and its affiliates were not material for the periods presented. We recognized royalty expense of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the use of Dover’s intellectual property and patents which was included in “other expense, net” in the condensed combined statements of income. At the Separation, patents and intangibles owned by Dover related to our operations transferred to Apergy. No further royalty charges are expected to be incurred by Apergy from Dover after the Separation.

Noncontrolling Interest

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not declare any distributions to the noncontrolling interest holder in Norris Production Solutions Middle East LLC, a subsidiary in the Sultanate of Oman. We have a commission arrangement withhigher probability of default. Account balances are written off against the allowance when it is determined the receivable will not be recovered.

NOTE 6 — 5—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the first quarter of 2020, certain unprecedented events caused the rapid decline of several market indicators in the oil and gas industry. Decisions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other oil producing nations resulted in an oversupply of crude oil. Compounding this situation, demand for oil and gas commodities declined significantly as the world was impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, which resulted in a sharp decline in crude oil prices. Consequently, our market capitalization was negatively impacted as a result of these market conditions and overall impact to our industry.

Management determined that these events and their related impact to future revenues and cash flows constituted a triggering event in the first quarter of 2020, requiring us to perform a recoverability test of our long-lived assets and an interim impairment assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2020.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.
During the first quarter of 2020, we performed a quantitative analysis for each of our 2017 acquisitionreporting units to determine the existence of PCP Oil Tools S.A.goodwill impairment and Ener Tools S.A.the amount of the impairment loss. In performing the quantitative assessment, we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using a combination of the income and market approaches, which determined that the fair values were less than the respective carrying values for our Artificial Lift and Automation reporting units.
Our income-based valuation method determines the present value of estimated future cash flows to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. Significant assumptions used in estimating our reporting unit fair values include: (i) annual revenue growth rates; (ii) operating margins; (iii) risk-adjusted discount rate; and (iv) terminal value determined using a long-term growth rate. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Given the unprecedented uncertainty of both short-term and long-term market conditions, we utilized a weighted-average projection for estimated future cash flows that consists of three estimated future cash flows scenarios with the following weightings: (i) low case scenario with a 40% weighting, (ii) base case scenario with a 40% weighting, and (iii) high case scenario with a 20% weighting.
Under the market approach, we estimated a fair value based on comparable companies’ market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and factored in a control premium. Finally, we compared our estimates of fair values to our March 31, 2020 total public market capitalization and assessed an implied control premium based on the 20-day average of our common stock. 
The reporting unit carrying values were adjusted based on the long-lived asset impairment assessment noted below. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgment must be applied to determine whether credit market changes are a short-term or long-term trend. We utilized discount rates of 14.5% and 16.5% for our Artificial Lift and Automation reporting units, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a $616.3 million impairment charge to goodwill, consisting of $539.2 million and $77.1 million in our Artificial Lift reporting unit and our Automation reporting unit, respectively. Both reporting units are within our Production & Automation Technologies reportable segment. The goodwill impairment charge includes $560.1 million of non-taxable goodwill, which was recognized as a discrete item in determining our effective tax rate for the period. We did not identify any triggering events at any of our reporting units during the third quarter of 2020.

Long-lived Asset Impairment
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and identified intangible assets, comprise a significant amount of our total assets. The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and estimated useful lives.

Intangible Assets

The negative market indicators described above, as well as the results of the previously mentioned fair value determinations of certain of our reporting units, were triggering events indicating that certain of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets may be impaired. We performed recoverability tests on our asset groups as of March 31, 2020, which indicated that long-lived assets associated with two of our asset groups within Production & Automation Technologies were not recoverable as the aggregate amount of estimated undiscounted cash flows of these asset groups was determined to be below their respective carrying values. We estimated the fair value of these intangible and fixed assets using an income approach that required us to make long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts utilized assumptions about demand for our products and services, future market conditions and technological developments. The forecasts are dependent upon assumptions including those regarding oil prices and the general outlook for the global oil and gas industry, among other factors. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our income forecast. Changes to these assumptions, including, but not limited to: variability of spot and futures prices for crude oil; sustained declines in worldwide rig counts below current analysts’ forecasts; significant deterioration of external financing for our customers; higher risk premiums or higher cost of equity; or any other significant adverse economic news could require a provision for impairment.
Accordingly, the estimated fair value of each of these asset groups was below their respective carrying value and as a result, we recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $41.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, consisting of $40.4 million to customer relationships and $0.6 million to trademarks. We did not identify impairment triggering events at any of our asset groups during the third quarter of 2020.

The components of our definite- and indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows:

NOTE 8 — 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to, among other things, workers’ compensation, general liability (including product liability), automobile claims, health care claims, environmental matters and lawsuits. We record liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In accordance with applicable GAAP, the Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.

Guarantees and Indemnifications


We have provided indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including representations and warranties, covenants and related indemnities for environmental health and safety, tax and employment matters. We do not have any material liabilities recorded for these indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. See Note 16 — Subsequent Events for additional information related to indemnifications related to the Separation.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $7.8 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees which expire at various dates through 2020. These financial instruments are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. Generally, we would only be liable for the amount of these letters of credit in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Litigation

Our environmental matters that are probable and estimable were not material as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

We are also a party to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to our businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of our products, patent infringement, employment matters, and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses

reasonably expected to be incurred and currently accrued to-date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We have reserves for legal matters that are probable and estimable and not otherwise covered by insurance, and as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these liabilities were not significant. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


NOTE 9 — REVENUE

Our revenue is substantially generated from product sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, approximately 89% of our revenue was generated from product sales. Our remaining revenue was derived from services, leases and other, which represented approximately 7%, 3%, and 1%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Product revenue is derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenue is earned as technical advisory assistance and field services related to our products are provided. Lease revenue is derived from month-to-month rental income of leased production equipment.

The majority of our revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments occurring within a year from the customer order date. A small portion of our revenue derives from contracts extending over one year. Our payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days and vary by the location of our businesses and the types and volumes of products manufactured and sold, among other factors. Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are generally not material to us.

Performance Obligations
The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, in most cases, the equipment or product sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation, extended warranty and/or maintenance services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We typically use observable prices to determine the stand-alone selling price of a performance obligation and utilize a cost plus margin approach when observable prices are not available.

Substantially all of our performance obligations are recognized at a point in time and are primarily related to our product revenue derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, certification, or other substantive acceptance provisions required under the contract. Revenue is recognized over time for our service and lease offerings. Service revenue is recognized over time as we provide technical advisory assistance and field services related to our products.

Warranties

The majority of our contracts contain standard warranties in connection with the sale of a product to a customer which provide a customer assurance that the related product will function for a period of time as the parties intended. In addition to our standard warranties, we also offer extended warranties to our customers. Warranties provided as part of our product offering are analyzed to determine whether they represent a distinct service, and if so, are recognized as service revenue over the related warranty period.

Remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2018, we did not have any contracts with an original length of greater than a year, from which revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied).

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers were as follows:
(in thousands)March 31, 2018 January 1, 2018
Contract assets2,806
 4,733
Contract liabilities - current5,947
 4,487

Contract assets primarily relate to our right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our condensed combined balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to our obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received advance consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Current contract liabilities are recorded in other “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our condensed combined balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Estimates are used to determine the amount of variable consideration in contracts, the determination of the standalone selling price among separate performance obligations, as well as the determination of the measure of progress for contracts where revenue is recognized over time. Some contracts with customers include variable consideration primarily related to volume rebates. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to determine the total consideration which we expect to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are largely based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available.

Restructuring and other charges of $0.5 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily reflect severance costs in our Production and Automation Technologies segment. Our restructuring and other programs were designed to better align our costs and operations with current market conditions and include measures such as targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other actions to further optimize our operations. We expect the initiatives currently underway to be substantially completed in the next 12 to 18 months.

Our liability balances for restructuring and other exit activities was $2.5 million and $2.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and primarily reflected restructuring plans initiated in 2017, as well as ongoing lease commitment obligations for facilities closed in prior periods.


NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES

Our operations have been historically included in Dover’s U.S. combined federal and state income tax returns. Income tax expense and deferred tax balances are presented in these condensed combined financial statements as if Apergy filed its own tax returns in each jurisdiction. These condensed combined financial statements include tax losses and tax credits that may not reflect tax positions taken by Dover. In many cases, tax losses and tax credits generated by Apergy through the date of the Separation were utilized by Dover.

Our income tax provision reflected effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 of 22.6% and 31.4%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Tax Reform Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, and which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.

We recognized provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in our combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The provisions in the Tax Reform Act are broad and complex. We have not yet completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act as of March 31, 2018, but have made reasonable estimates of those effects on our existing deferred income tax balances and the one-time deemed repatriation tax. The final financial statement impact of the Tax Reform Act may differ from our estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Reform Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Reform Act, and changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Reform Act, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized to calculate the provisional impacts. The SEC has issued rules allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Reform Act to finalize the recording of the related income tax impacts. We expect to finalize our analysis related to the Tax Reform Act by the end of the measurement period.

As subsidiaries of Dover, we file U.S., federal, state, local and foreign tax returns and are routinely audited by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions of which a number of audits are currently underway. We are no longer subject to examinations of our federal income tax returns for years through 2013. All significant state, local and international matters have been concluded for years through 2012. We did not have any recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. We did not have any income tax payable balances as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Income

Table of Contents



tax payables at each balance sheet date computed under the stand-alone return basis are classified within “net parent investment in Apergy” on the condensed combined balance sheets since Dover is legally liable for the tax.


NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We had no outstanding derivative contracts as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were not significant; thus, no fair value disclosures are presented.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Credit Risk

By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments.


NOTE 13 — EQUITY AND CASH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Dover granted share-based awards to its officers and other key employees, including certain Apergy individuals. All awards granted under the program consisted of Dover common shares and are not necessarily indicative of the results that Apergy would have experienced as a stand-alone public company for the periods presented. Effective with the Separation, outstanding Dover share-based awards were converted to Apergy share-based awards, with the exception of outstanding Dover performance share awards that relate to a performance period ending after the Separation. Such performance share awards were cancelled effective with the Separation. See Note 16 — Subsequent Events for additional information.

Dover’s plan authorized the grant of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards. The exercise price per share for SARs was equal to the closing price of Dover’s stock on the date of grant. The period for which SARs and stock options were exercisable was fixed by the Compensation Committee of Dover’s Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally, the stock options or SARs vested after three years of service and expired at the end of ten years. Performance share awards vested if (i) Dover achieved certain specified internal metrics and (ii) the employee remained continuously employed by Dover during the performance period. Partial vesting occurred after Separation from service in the case of certain terminations not for cause and for retirements.

Dover’s board of directors typically granted equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Dover issued no equity awards to Apergy employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, Dover issued SARs covering 79,970 shares, performance share awards of 4,162 and restricted stock units of 24,319 to Apergy employees.

Stock-based compensation expense is reported within “selling, general and administrative expense” in the condensed combined statements of income. Stock-based compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans was as follows:

NOTE 14 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Multi-employer Defined Benefit Plans and Non-Qualified Plans

Prior to the Separation, Apergy participated in the following plans as though they were participants in a multi-employer plan with the other businesses of Dover. Accordingly, a proportionate share of the cost associated with these plans is reflected in the condensed combined financial statements.

Dover provided a defined benefit pension plan for its eligible U.S. employees and retirees (“U.S. Pension Plan”). As such, the portion of Apergy’s liability associated with the U.S. Pension Plan is not reflected in the condensed combined balance sheets and was not recorded at the Separation as this obligation will be maintained and serviced by Dover. Shortly before the Separation, Apergy participants in the U.S. Pension Plan (other than Norris USW participants) fully vested in their benefits, and all participants ceased accruing benefits. In addition, Apergy did not assume any funding requirements or obligations related to the U.S. Pension Plan upon the Separation. Norris USW participants were moved to a new pension plan and continued to accrue benefits. No contributions were made by Dover to the U.S Pension Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Dover also provided a defined benefit pension plan for its eligible salaried non-U.S. employees and retirees in Canada (“Canada Salaried Pension Plan”). As such, the portion of Apergy’s liability associated with this non-U.S. plan is not reflected in our condensed combined balance sheets as this obligation was maintained and serviced by Dover. The Canada Salaried Pension Plan, including all assets and liabilities, was transferred to Apergy at the Separation. Shortly before the Separation, all non-Apergy participants in this plan ceased accruing benefits or were not permitted to make contributions, as applicable. The non-Apergy participants may elect a lump sum cash payment post Separation that will be the responsibility of Apergy, will be funded out of the plan assets, and could also result in a non-cash settlement charge to earnings. Contributions to the Canada Salaried Pension Plan totaled $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Dover provided to certain U.S. management employees, through non-qualified plans, supplemental retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law. As of January 1, 2018, Apergy participants in these non-qualified plans no longer accrued benefits nor were permitted to make contributions, as applicable. Apergy assumed the funding requirements and related obligations attributable to Apergy employees related to these non-qualified plans upon the Separation. The non-qualified plans are unfunded and contributions are made as benefits are paid.

Single Employer Defined Benefit Plans and Other Non-Qualified Plans

We sponsor one defined benefit pension plan to certain hourly non-U.S. employees and retirees. The plan is closed to new participants; however, as of the Separation, all active participants in this plan continue to accrue benefits. This plan is considered a direct obligation of Apergy and will be recorded within our condensed combined financial statements at the Separation. 

We also sponsor a non-qualified plan covering certain U.S. employees and retirees. The plan provides supplemental retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law. The plan is closed to new hires and all benefits under the plan are frozen. The plan is considered a direct obligation of Apergy and will be recorded within our condensed combined financial statements at the Separation.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Separation and Distribution

On May 9, 2018, we entered into definitive agreements with Dover, that, among other things, set forth the terms and conditions of the Separation of Apergy from Dover and provide a framework for Apergy’s relationship with Dover after the Separation, including the allocation between Dover and Apergy of Dover’s and Apergy’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. In addition to the separation and distribution agreement, which contains many of the key provisions related to the separation of Apergy, the parties entered into an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a transition services agreement.

The Separation was completed on May 9, 2018, in the form of a distribution of 100% of the shares of common stock of Apergy, which became an independent, publicly-traded company. The distribution was tax-free to Apergy, Dover, and Dover’s U.S. stockholders. Dover shareholders received one share of Apergy common stock for every two shares of Dover common stock. As a result, Apergy had 77.3 million shares of common stock outstanding, par value $0.01, based on 154.7 million shares of Dover common stock outstanding as of May 9, 2018. Following the Separation, Dover retained no ownership interest in Apergy, and each company, as of May 9, 2018, has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management.

Transition Services Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Apergy and Dover entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which Dover agreed to provide Apergy with various services, including certain information technology services, and Apergy agreed to provide Dover with various services, including certain services related to transitioning operations. Apergy will pay a fee to Dover for services utilized under the transition services agreement, which fee is generally intended to allow Dover to recover all of its direct and indirect costs generally without profit. Except as provided otherwise in the transition services agreement, or with respect to specific services with other specified terms, the initial term of the transition services agreement will end on January 31, 2019, and the term may then be extended until the one-year anniversary of execution of the transition services agreement or such other period set forth on the schedules thereto (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances).

Tax Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Apergy and Dover entered into a tax matters agreement which governs Apergy’s and Dover’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities (including taxes, if any incurred as a result of any failure of the Separation or certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other tax matters. Neither party’s obligations under the tax matters agreement will be limited in amount or subject to any cap.

Apergy also agreed to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the Separation and certain related transactions. Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries are barred from taking any action, or failing to take any action, where such action or failure to act may be expected to result in any increased tax liability or reduced tax attribute of Dover. In addition, during the time period ending two years after the date of the Separation, these covenants include specific restrictions on the ability of Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries to:

issue or sell stock or other securities (including securities convertible into Apergy stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements);
cease to actively conduct its business or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; and
enter into certain other corporate transactions which could cause Apergy to undergo a 40% or greater change in its stock ownership.

Employee Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Apergy and Dover entered into an employee matters agreement which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the parties in connection with the Separation with respect to employee-related matters. The employee matters agreement provides for the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities as applicable, arising out of incentive plans, retirement plans, and employee health and welfare benefit programs in which Apergy’s employees participated prior to the Separation and the treatment of outstanding Dover incentive awards. In general, Apergy assumed liabilities related to its current and former employees incurred before the Separation. Dover retained liabilities accrued prior to the Separation related to certain Apergy participants in Dover’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan. As a result of the Separation and effective May 15, 2019, outstanding Dover equity awards held by Apergy employees, other than Dover performance shares, converted into corresponding Apergy equity awards issued under the Apergy Corporation 2018 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan. Generally, each award is subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect prior to the Separation. Immediately prior to the Separation, outstanding Dover performance shares held by Apergy employees that related to a performance period ending after the Separation were cancelled.

Indemnifications


In connection with the Separation,Company’s separation from Dover Corporation (“Dover”) in 2018 (the “Separation”), we entered into agreements with Dover that govern the treatment between Dover and us offor certain indemnification matters and litigation responsibility. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Dover’s business with Dover. The separation and distribution agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. In addition, pursuant to the tax matters agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Dover and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the Separation and/or certain related transactions to the extent caused by an acquisition of ApergyChampionX stock or assets or by any other action or failure to act undertaken by ApergyChampionX or its affiliates.


20

TablePursuant to the provisions of Contentsthe tax matters agreement with Dover, we recorded an indemnification liability of $3.4 million as of December 31, 2019, with respect to certain liabilities related to tax audits for the 2012-2016 tax years. We received notification in February 2020 that the tax audits and related assessments were completed, resulting in a final settlement amount of $3.0 million, which was paid in April 2020.

In connection with the Merger, we entered into agreements with Ecolab that govern the treatment between Ecolab and us for certain indemnification matters and litigation responsibility. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Ecolab’s business with Ecolab. The separation and distribution agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. In addition, pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Ecolab and its affiliates for (i) all taxes for which ChampionX is responsible as defined within the Tax Matters Agreement, (ii) all taxes resulting from a breach by ChampionX of any of its representations (but only to the extent relating to a breach occurring after the consummation of the Merger) or any of its covenants under the Tax Matters Agreement, (iii) all taxes resulting from an acquisition after the Merger of any of the stock or assets of ChampionX, other than as a result of the Merger or a repayment of the ChampionX Credit Facilities and (iv) reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) related to the foregoing.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $51.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees which expire at various dates through 2025. These financial instruments are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. Generally, we would only be liable for the amount of these letters of credit and surety bonds in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Litigation and Environmental Matters

We are involved in various pending or potential lawsuits, claims and environmental actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of our products, patent infringement, employment matters, and commercial disputes, as well as possible obligations to investigate and mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain chemical substances at various sites, such as Superfund sites and either operating or owned facilities. We review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and




expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and accrued to date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We accrue a liability for legal matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur, and there can be no certainty that the Company may not ultimately incur changes in excess of recorded liabilities. However, we believe the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Pro Forma Financial Information
Environmental Matters

The Company is currently participating in environmental assessments and remediation at approximately 11 locations, the majority of which are in the U.S., and environmental liabilities have been accrued reflecting our best estimate of future costs. Potential insurance reimbursements are not anticipated in the Company’s accruals for environmental liabilities. As of September 30, 2020 environmental liability accruals related to these locations were $8.9 million.

Prior to the Separation, groundwater contamination was discovered at the Norris Sucker Rods plant site located in Tulsa, Oklahoma ("Norris"). Initial remedial efforts were undertaken at the time of discovery of the contamination and Norris has since coordinated monitoring and remediation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality ("ODEQ"). As part of the ongoing long-term remediation process, Norris contracted an engineering and consulting firm to develop a range of possible additional remedial alternatives in order to accelerate the remediation process and associated cost estimates for the work. In October 2019, we received the firm’s preliminary remedial alternatives for consideration. Now that we have such recommendations, we have begun discussions with ODEQ regarding our proposed long-term remediation plan. The plan is subject to ODEQ’s review, input, and approval. Because we have not yet finalized a plan for further remediation at the site and discussions with ODEQ remain ongoing, we cannot fully anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of such further remedial activities, financial or otherwise. As a result of the recommendations in the report, we accrued liabilities for these remediation efforts of approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Liabilities could increase in the future at such time as we ultimately reach agreement with ODEQ on our remediation plan and such liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated, however, there have been no changes to our estimated liability as of September 30, 2020.

Matters Related to Deepwater Horizon Incident Response

On April 22, 2010, the deepwater drilling platform, the Deepwater Horizon, operated by a subsidiary of BP plc, sank in the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion and fire, resulting in a massive oil spill. Certain entities that are now subsidiaries of ChampionX as a result of the Merger (collectively the “COREXIT Defendants”) supplied COREXIT™ 9500, an oil dispersant product listed on the U.S. EPA National Contingency Plan Product Schedule, which was used in the response to the spill. In connection with the provision of COREXIT™, the COREXIT Defendants were named in several lawsuits. Cases arising out of the Deepwater Horizon accident were administratively transferred and consolidated for pre-trial purposes under In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010, Case No. 10-md-02179 (E.D. La.) (“MDL 2179”). Claims related to the response to the oil spill were consolidated in a master complaint captioned the “B3 Master Complaint.” In 2011, Transocean Deepwater Drilling, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Transocean Entities”) named the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated companies as first party defendants (In re the Complaint and Petition of Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, et al, MDL No. 2179, Civil Action 10-2771). In April and May 2011, the Transocean Entities, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively, the “Cross Claimants”) filed cross claims in MDL 2179 against the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated cross defendants. In April and June 2011, in support of its defense of the claims against it, the COREXIT Defendants filed counterclaims against the Cross Claimants. On May 18, 2012, the COREXIT Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims in the B3 Master Complaint. On November 28, 2012, the Court granted the COREXIT Defendants’ motion and dismissed with prejudice the claims in the B3 Master Complaint asserted against the COREXIT Defendants. There currently remain three cases pending against the COREXIT Defendants relating to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, all of which are expected to ultimately be dismissed pursuant to the Court’s November 28, 2012 order granting the COREXIT Defendants’ motion for summary judgment.
The Company believes the claims asserted against the COREXIT Defendants are without merit and intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously. The Company also believes that it has rights to contribution and/or indemnification (including legal expenses) from third parties. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the involvement it might have in these matters in the future, or the potential for future litigation.

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share excludes awards with an anti-dilutive impact. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we excluded all outstanding equity awards from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as we were in a loss position. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the diluted shares include the dilutive impact of equity awards except for approximately 0.4 million shares that were excluded because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10—REVENUE

Our revenue is generated primarily from product sales. Service revenue is generated from providing services to our customers. These services include laboratory and logistics services, chemical management services, troubleshooting, reporting, water treatment services, technical advisory assistance and field services. Lease revenue is derived from rental income of leased production equipment. These lease arrangements generally allow customers to rent equipment on a daily basis with no stated end date. Management accounts for these arrangements as a daily renewal option beginning on the lease commencement date, with the lease term determined as the period in which it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. We do not track cost of goods sold separately for all of our revenue streams.

Within our Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies segments, substantially all of our performance obligations are recognized at a point in time and are primarily related to our product revenue derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, or certification as required under the contract. Within our Production Chemical Technologies and Reservoir Chemical Technologies segments, revenue recognized from the sale of products and equipment is recognized at the point in time when the obligations in the contract with the customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of the product or delivery of the equipment.

In certain markets, the Company utilizes joint ventures and independent third-party distributors and sales agents to sell and market products and services. Amounts payable to independent third-party distributors and sales agents may fluctuate based on sales and timing of distributor fee payments. For services rendered by such independent third-party distributors and sales agents, the Company records the consideration received on a net basis within product revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2020, accrued distributor fees were $36.4 million and nil at December 31, 2019.

Restructuring and other related charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included the following activities, which the Company expects will be completed by early 2021:

Production Chemical Technologies. Production Chemical Technologies incurred restructuring charges of $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to costs associated with employee severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions to better align the cost base with the significantly lower demand environment.


Production & Automation Technologies. Production & Automation Technologies incurred restructuring charges of $0.9 million and $9.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related to various programs, primarily focused on facility closures and consolidations, exit of certain nonstrategic product lines, and workforce reductions.

Drilling Technologies. Drilling Technologies incurred restructuring charges of $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to costs associated with employee severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions and facility closures to better align the cost base with the significantly lower demand environment.

Reservoir Chemical Technologies. Reservoir Chemical Technologies incurred restructuring charges of $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to costs associated with employee severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions to better align the cost base with the significantly lower demand environment.

The following table details our restructuring accrual activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

_______________________
(1) In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into the Employee Matters Agreement dated December 18, 2019, which provided the terms in which certain Ecolab share-based awards held by legacy ChampionX employees were replaced with share-based awards of the Company on the merger date. The fair value of the replacement awards has been allocated between each employee’s pre-combination and post-combination services. Amounts allocated to pre-combination services have been included as consideration transferred as part of the Merger. See Note 2—Merger Transaction for a summary of consideration

transferred. Compensation costs of $15.8 million allocated to post-combination services will be recorded as stock-based compensation expense over each employees’ remaining service period.

NOTE 13—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets.
Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.
The carrying amount and the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:
 September 30, 2020
 Carrying Amount Fair Value Measurements

Liabilities       
Foreign currency forward contracts$4,647

The carrying value of foreign currency forward contracts is at fair value, which is determined based on foreign currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and is classified within Level 2. For purposes of fair value disclosure above, derivative values are presented gross. See Note 14—Derivatives And Hedging Transactions for further discussion of gross versus net presentation of the Company’s derivatives.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of our senior notes is based on Level 1 quoted market prices. The fair value of our term loan facilities are based on Level 2 quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments. The carrying amount and the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, held by the Company were:

NOTE 14—DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. Derivative contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. We evaluate hedge effectiveness at contract inception and thereafter on a quarterly basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot exchange rates for derivative contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings and are presented in the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts. We monitor our exposure to credit risk by using major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitoring their financial condition and credit profile. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and therefore, recording a valuation allowance against the Company’s derivative balance is not considered necessary.

Derivative Positions Summary

Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to settle with the same counterparties. These arrangements generally do not call for collateral and as of the applicable dates presented in the following table, no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives. We have elected to present our derivative balances on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table summarizes the gross fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivatives and the lines in which they are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We did not have outstanding derivatives at December 31, 2019:

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, primarily related to inventory purchases. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in AOCI until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the gain or loss is reclassified into the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as the underlying exposure being hedged. The forward points are marked-to-market monthly and recognized in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statement of income as the underlying exposure being hedged.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset its exposure to the change in value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, which are remeasured at the end of each period. Although the contracts are effective economic hedges, they are not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in the

value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

NOTE 15 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company re-evaluated its reporting segments. Our determination of reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and corresponds to the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In addition to our strategic priorities, segment reporting is also based on differences in the products and services we provide. As a result, we added two new reportable segments - Production Chemical Technologies and Reservoir Chemical Technologies. The legacy Apergy reportable segments remain unchanged.

Our reporting segments are:

Production Chemical Technologies—provides oil and natural gas production and midstream markets with solutions to manage and control corrosion, oil and water separation, flow assurance, sour gas treatment and a host of water-related issues.

Production & Automation Technologies—designs, manufactures, markets and services a full range of artificial lift equipment, end-to-end digital automation solutions, as well as other production equipment. Production & Automation Technologies’ products are sold under a collection of brands including Harbison-Fischer, Norris, Alberta Oil Tool, Oil Lift Technology, PCS Ferguson, Pro-Rod, Upco, Unbridled ESP, Norriseal-Wellmark, Quartzdyne, Spirit, Theta, Timberline and Windrock.

Drilling Technologies—designs, manufactures and markets polycrystalline diamond cutters and bearings for use in oil and gas drill bits under the US Synthetic brand.

Reservoir Chemical Technologies—manufactures specialty products that support well stimulation, construction (including drilling and cementing) and remediation needs in the oil and natural gas industry.

Business activities that do not meet the criteria of an operating segment have been combined into Corporate and other. Corporate and other includes (i) corporate and overhead expenses, and (ii) revenue and costs for activities that are not operating segments.

Lease program

Our ESP leased asset program is reported in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. At the time of purchase, assets are recorded to Dover Corporation

To fund the Separation, we incurred the following borrowings:
Senior Notes
On May 3, 2018,inventory and in connection with the Separation, we completed the private placement of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due May 2026 (“Senior Notes”). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1are transferred to property, plant, and November 1 of each year commencing on November 1, 2018. Net proceeds of $294.8 million from the offering were utilized to partially fund the $700 million cash payment to Dover at the Separation and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation.

The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture dated as of May 3, 2018, between Apergy and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. At any time prior to May 1, 2021, we may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes atequipment when a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed plus a premium, as defined in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning on or after May 1, 2021, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at certain tiered redemption prices as defined in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations. The Senior Notes will rank equally in right of payment with our future and existing senior debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt.

In connection with the private placement, we granted the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes certain registration rights under a registration right agreement. We have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to be effective a registration statement with the SEC relating to a registered offer to exchange the Senior Notescustomer contracts for an issueasset under our lease program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we transferred $26.5 million and $61.2 million, respectively, of SEC-registered notes with terms identical in all material respects to the Senior Notes. Generally, we have one year from the issuanceinventory into property, plant, and equipment as a result of the Senior Notes to complete the exchange offer. Should Apergy not complete its obligations under the registration rights agreement within a year, the annual interest rate on the Senior Notes will increase at different intervals based on the passage of time after one year.assets entering our leased asset program.


Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On June 3, 2020, the Company and Ecolab completed a Reverse Morris Trust transaction in which Ecolab transferred their upstream energy business to completion to production.On May 9, 2018, Apergylegacy ChampionX and, thereafter, distributed all of the shares of legacy ChampionX common stock to certain Ecolab stockholders. Immediately following the Distribution, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into legacy ChampionX, with legacy ChampionX continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger constitutes a business combination, with the Company (formerly known as Apergy) treated as the accounting acquirer and legacy ChampionX treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes. In association with the completion of the Merger, the Company has changed its name from Apergy Corporation to ChampionX Corporation, and common shares began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the “APY” symbol.symbol “CHX”. See Note 2—Merger to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.


Separation and Distribution

Business Environment


We focus on economic- and industry-specific drivers and key risk factors affecting our business segments as we formulate our strategic plans and make decisions related to allocating capital and human resources. Our business providessegments provide a broad range of technologies and products for the oil and gas drilling and production industry and, as a result, isare substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and gas industry. Demand for our products, technologies and services is impacted by overall global demand for oil and gas, ongoing depletion rates of existing wells which produce oil and gas, and our customers’ willingness to invest in the development and production of oil and gas resources. Our customers determine their operating and capital budgets primarilybased on current and projectedfuture crude oil and natural gas prices, U.S. and worldwide rig count and U.S. well completions.completions, among other factors. Crude oil and natural gas prices are impacted by supply and demand, which are influenced by geopolitical, macroeconomic and local events and have historically been subject to substantial volatility and cyclicality. ProjectedFuture higher crude oil and natural gas prices typically translate into higher exploration and production budgets. Indicators, such as rigRig count, footage drilled and exploration and production spendinginvestment by oil and gas operators have often been used as leading indicators for the level of drilling and development activity in the oil and gas sector.


Market Conditions and Outlook


Oil markets tightened inDuring the backfirst half of 2017,2020, certain unprecedented events caused the rapid decline of oil prices. Decisions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other oil prices continued to improveproducing nations resulted in the first quarteran oversupply of 2018 driven by demonstrated compliance by OPEC countries to production quotas, increased global oil demand and declining product inventories. As a result, oil prices continued to strengthen with the WTI spot price averaging $62.91 in the first quarter of 2018 versus the average of $55.27 in the fourth quarter of 2017. Both U.S. and international rig counts increased in the first quarter of 2018 with growth of 5% and 2%, respectively, when compared to the rig counts in the fourth quarter of 2017. According to Spears & Associates, the global oil demand growth in 2018 will be entirely met by increased production from the United States.

Although risk remains that oil prices and activity levels could deteriorate from current levels, we believe the outlook for our businesses over the long term is favorable. Increasing globalcrude oil. Compounding this situation, demand for oil and gas commodities declined significantly as the world was impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak, which resulted in combinationa sharp decline in crude oil prices. In response to the significant reduction in oil prices, customer spending associated with ongoing depletion of existing reservoirs, will drive continued investment in the drilling and completionexploration and production (E&P) activity deteriorated at a rapid pace due to reduced drilling activities, lower budgeted capital and operating expenditures and cost cutting initiatives.

Although oil prices rebounded moderately, we are still below average oil prices experienced during 2019. We expect market conditions to remain challenging throughout the remainder of new wells. 2020 and into 2021 as we believe it will take time for global oil demand to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and for oil supplies to return to normal levels. Outside of the incremental revenues associated with the Merger, we experienced a sequential increase in revenue in North America, primarily within our Production and Automation Technologies segment. This increase was driven by higher volumes across our artificial lift portfolio as customer spending began to recover from the compressed levels experienced during the second quarter. Internationally, markets have been more resilient, particularly in Australia and the Middle East, as the need for artificial lift in those regions is increasing and the international sales cycle is longer than the North American cycle.

Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

In addition, productivityresponse to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a set of immediate actions to reduce operating costs and efficiencycapital spending. These actions are becoming increasingly importantexpected to generate annualized operating cost savings of $135 million during fiscal year 2020 and include:

reduction in total ChampionX headcount;
company-wide salary reductions, including steeper reductions for executive management and the highest reduction for our chief executive officer; and
facility rationalization and elimination of non-essential expenses.

Additionally, we have significantly reduced capital expenditures and expect a full year reduction of approximately $50 million, including ESP leased assets within our Production & Automation Technologies segment. On our recently acquired Chemical Technologies business, we have reduced capital spend by 50% against prior year levels. We are continuing to monitor market developments and will take additional restructuring actions should further declines in oilfield service activities occur.

Ensuring the health and safety of our employees is paramount. As our businesses are classified as critical infrastructure, our manufacturing and field locations continue to operate and support the vital oil and gas industryinfrastructure around the world. In order to protect our employees during this period, we mobilized our crisis management team and have adopted a comprehensive response plan, which includes:

taking precautions consistent with local, state, and national government health authority guidelines, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization;

meetings between the crisis management team and executive management to ensure real-time understanding of developments as operators focusthey occur such that our communications and responses are appropriate and timely;
equipping our employees with additional personal protective equipment;
introducing new employee screening procedures in our operations; and
enacting social distancing procedures, including staggering shifts, implementing rotating work schedules, and modifying workspaces and break areas.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Refer to our “Critical Accounting Estimates” included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on improving per-well economics, driven byForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a flatteningdiscussion of our critical accounting estimates, together with the following additional critical accounting estimate:

Determination of Fair Value in Business Combinations

Accounting for the acquisition of a business requires the allocation of the WTI forwardpurchase price curve.

Average oilto the various assets acquired and gas prices, rig countsliabilities assumed at their respective fair values. The determination of fair value requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, and in making these determinations, management uses all available information. If necessary, we have up to one year after the acquisition closing date to finalize these fair value determinations under the applicable GAAP. For tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, the determination of fair value utilizes several valuation methodologies including discounted cash flows which has assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenue and expenses associated with an asset. The assumptions made in performing these valuations include, but are not limited to, discount rates, future revenues and operating costs, projections of capital costs, and other assumptions believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants. Due to the specialized nature of these calculations, we engage third-party specialists to assist management in evaluating our assumptions as well completions are summarized below foras appropriately measuring the periods presented:

Book-to-bill ratio. The book-to-bill ratio compares the dollarfair value of orders received (bookings) relative to revenues realized during the period.

Revenue. Revenue increased $356.7 million, or 128.8%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to prior year as a result of $481.2 million of incremental revenues from our recently acquired Chemicals Technologies business. Offsetting these incremental revenues was a $85.0 million decrease in revenue in our Production & Automation Technologies segment driven by a decline in drilling and completion activities and related reduced customer spending in North America and internationally, which affected our artificial lift, digital products, and other production equipment offerings. Additionally, there was a $39.2 million decrease in revenue in our Drilling Technologies segment primarily due to a steep decline in U.S. land-based rig count and drilling activity in the first quarter of 2020.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $35.8 million, or 38.6%, in third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year mainly due to $100.1 million of gross profit generated by our recently acquired Chemicals Technologies business, offset by lower sales volume at both Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies segments, and an increase in depreciation expense of $23.2 million primarily due to a change in salvage value estimate for certain of our leased assets, and depreciation expense incurred on assets acquired related to the Merger.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $53.8 million, or 78.6%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year primarily due to $68.0 million of selling, general and administrative expense generated by our recently acquired Chemicals Technologies business subsequent to the acquisition date. The increase also includes acquisition and integration costs of $8.4 million associated with the merger with legacy ChampionX. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was partially offset by cost savings resulting from restructuring actions taken in the latter half of 2019 and the second quarter of 2020.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to prior year primarily due to incremental interest expense related to the term loan assumed as part of the Merger.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Our provision for (benefit from) income taxes reflected effective tax rates of 35.1% and 22.8%, in the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was impacted by the effects of valuation allowances in loss jurisdictions and foreign branch earnings.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the first quarternine months of 2018 increased $18.92020 decreased $61.4 million, or 25.1%20.2%, from the prioryear-over year, reflecting benefits of increasedlower sales volumes combinedin our Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies segments. The decrease is also attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $45.8 million, primarily due to a change in salvage value estimate for certain of our leased assets and incremental depreciation expense incurred on assets acquired related to the Merger. The decrease in gross profit in Drilling Technologies and Production & Automation Technologies is partially offset with cost containment efforts and productivity initiatives.gross profit of $127.0 million generated subsequent to the Merger date by our recently acquired Chemicals Technologies business.


Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2020 increased $131.7 million, or 66.1%, year-over-year, primarily due to $92.7 million of selling, general and administrative expense generated subsequent to the acquisition date by our recently acquired Chemicals Technologies business as well as acquisition and integration costs of $78.0 million related to the Merger. The increase also includes an increase of $4.2 million for restructuring charges, and $5.3 million for professional fees incurred related to material weakness remediation. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was partially offset by cost savings from restructuring actions taken in the second half of 2019 and the second quarter of 20182020.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net in the first nine months of 2020 increased $7.1$6.0 million or 13.5%, fromyear-over-year due to a draw on our revolving credit facility during the prior year, primarily in supportsecond quarter, as well as incremental interest expense related to the term loan assumed as part of our growth initiatives.the Merger, partially offset by the repayment of $75 million of the Company’s term loan during the quarter.

The year-over-year decrease intax benefit recognized during 2020 reflects the loss before income taxes, largely due to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges recorded during the first quarter. The effective tax rate was primarily due toimpacted by the Tax Reform Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017,tax effects of impairment of non-taxable goodwill of $560.1 million, recognized as a discrete item. Other items impacting the rate include the effects of valuation allowances in loss jurisdictions and which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.foreign branch earnings.

_______________________
(1) The results of operations of the Production Chemical Technologies segment have been reflected in the table above from the closing date of the Merger through September 30, 2020.

Revenue. Production Chemical Technologies revenue is primarily generated from providing E&P and other customers in the oil and natural gas production and midstream markets with solutions to manage and control corrosion, oil and water separation, flow assurance, sour gas treatment and a host of water-related issues. Revenue was $410.2 million for the period. Deteriorating market conditions during the second and third quarters of 2020 have significantly impacted customer demand; however, as Production Chemical Technologies mostly supports existing production, sales are somewhat less sensitive to changes in customers’ capital and operating expenditure budgets related to the exploration for and development of new oil and natural gas reserves, which are more directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices.

Operating profit. Production Chemical Technologies generated operating profit of $35.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $26.4 million and an increase to cost of goods sold related to the step-up of inventory as part of the purchase price allocation of $7.6 million.

Revenue. Production & Automation Technologies revenue decreased $85.0 million, or 38.3%, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decline in customer spending as a result of deteriorating market conditions during the second and third quarters of 2020. The decline in customer spending led to lower volumes and associated lower revenue in our artificial lift, digital products and other production equipment offerings in North America and international markets.


Operating profit. Production & Automation Technologies operating profit decreased $26.4 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year primarily due to lower sales volume as noted above. The decrease in costs of goods and services of approximately $42.9 million as well as a $14.5 million reduction in selling, general and administrative costs partially offset the decline in revenue. The decline in costs is predominantly volume driven, further supplemented by various cost reduction initiatives initiated during the latter part of 2019 and first half of 2020 in response to the economic downturn. These cost initiatives were implemented to better align the segment’s cost base with the significantly lower demand environment.

Segment earnings. Production & Automation Technologies earnings increased$2.5 million, or 31.4%, compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in sales volume due to improving oil and gas markets, particularlya steep decline in U.S. land-based rig count and well completion activity. The increaseassociated decline in segment earnings included cost savings realized from restructuring programs, as well as productivity savings. The increasecustomer spending on drilling activities, which negatively impacted sales volumes of our diamond cutters and diamond bearings products.

Operating profit. Drilling Technologies operating profit decreased $18.9 million in earnings was partially offset by material cost increases, particularly aluminum and steel.

Bookings and Book-to-bill. Bookings for the firstthird quarter of 2018 increased $19.9 million, or 10.1%,2020 compared to the prior year reflecting ongoing market improvement. Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.01 in the first quarter of 2018, reflecting our ability to fulfill increasing customer demand. In the first quarter of 2017, our book-to-bill ratio was 1.09, which was largely driven by short-term production constraints during the early stages of the market recovery. Such production constraints have been abatedperiod primarily due to our ability to scale up production capacity to match increasing demand.lower revenue.

(1) The results of operations of the Reservoir Chemical Technologies segment have been reflected in the table above from the closing date of the Merger through September 30, 2020.


Revenue. Reservoir Chemical Technologies revenue is primarily comprised of the sale of specialty products that support well stimulation, construction (including drilling and cementing) and remediation needs to service and equipment companies that support global E&P companies. Revenue was $21.3 million for the period. Reservoir Chemical Technologies products are sensitive to changes in its customers’ capital expenditure budgets as they relate closely to the prior year which was the resultexploration and development of increased volumes due to increased rig counts. Customer pricing did not have a significant impact on revenuenew oil and natural gas reserves. This exploration and development activity is affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices and its customers’ corresponding levels of drilling activity, capital investment and well development.

Operating profit. Reservoir Chemical Technologies generated operating loss of $3.8 million in the firstthird quarter of 2018.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

At September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalent balances of $171.5 million for the primary purpose of working capital and operational support needs. During the second quarter, in order to ensure appropriate liquidity as a result of the industry downturn, the negative business impacts of COVID-19, and to have sufficient funds to extinguish merger-related transaction expenses, we borrowed $125 million against our revolving credit facility. As a result of ongoing robust cash generation throughout the second and third quarters, the Company was able to fully repay the $125 million borrowing during the second quarter as well as an additional $82 million during the third quarter.


All of our cash balances are held outside the United States. Our U.S. cash was historically pooled to Dover through intercompany advances and is not reflected on our condensed combined balance sheets. All of our cash held outside the United States could be repatriated to the United States. Werepatriated; however, we have not provided for foreign withholding taxes on our undistributed foreign earnings from jurisdictions which impose such taxes since we have determined that such earnings are indefinitely reinvested.reinvested in those jurisdictions.


Our primary source of cash is from operating activities. We have historically generated, and expect to continue to generate, positive cash flow from operations. Cash generated from operations is generally allocated to working capital requirements, investments in facilities and systems, acquisitions that create value with add-on capabilities that broaden our existing businesses and overall growth strategy, and debt repayments.

At September 30, 2020, we had a long-term debt balance of $989.7 million, net of the current portion of long-term debt of $31.5 million, primarily consisting of our term loan due 2027 with a principal amount of $530.3 million, our senior notes due in 2026 with a principal amount of $300.0 million, and our term loan due in 2025 with a principal amount of $190.0 million. We also have access to a revolving credit facility which expires in May of 2023, which had an unused capacity of $355.4 million at September 30, 2020.

Outlook

We expect to meet the continuing funding requirements ofgenerate our U.S.liquidity and capital resources through operations with cash generated by such U.S. operations and, when needed, through our revolving credit facility. See “Capital ResourcesThe volatility in credit, equity and Liquidity—Outlook”commodity markets resulting from current market conditions can create uncertainty for information related toour businesses. However, the Company believes, based on our current financial condition and current expectations of future market conditions, that we will meet our short- and long-term needs with a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, our use of our revolving credit facility.facility and access to capital markets.


Given the uncertainty created by the lack of visibility of future operating conditions in the current market environment and over the remainder of the year, we are restricting our capital expenditures to maintenance requirements and integration related investments only. We expect our full year 2020 capital expenditures, combined with investment in leased assets in the net cash from operating activities section of our consolidated statement of cash flows, to be between $50 to $55 million.

Separation
Subsequent to the Separation, we will no longer participate in cash management and funding arrangements with Dover. Historically, we have utilized these arrangements to fund daily operating activities and significant business expenditures, such as manufacturing capacity expansion and acquisitions. Our ability to fund our daily operating activities and capital projects will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and our ability to access the capital markets.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities


OnIn May 9, 2018, Apergywe entered into a new credit agreement (“credit agreement”) governing the terms of its newour senior secured credit facilities, consisting of (i) a seven-year senior secured term loan B facility (“term loan facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility,” and together with the term loan facility, the “senior secured credit facilities”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The net proceeds of the senior secured credit facilities are expected. Refer to be used (i) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Separation, (ii) partially fund the cash payment to Dover and (iii) provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Term Loan Facility. The term loan facility will have an initial commitment of $415 million. The full amount of the term loan facility was funded on May 9, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. The term loan facility matures in May 2025.

Revolving Credit Facility. The revolving credit facility consists of a five-year senior secured facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $250 million, of which up to $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit.

2020 Term Loan Facility

On June 3, 2020, prior to the Separation, Apergy madeclosing of the Merger, legacy ChampionX entered into a term loan facility for $537.0 million (“2020 Term Loan Facility”).

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


Information related to guarantees is incorporated herein by reference from Note 8 — 7—Commitments And Contingencies to our condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no changes to our identified critical accounting estimates.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


See Note 2 — 3—New Accounting Standards to our condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. This risk arises primarily as a result of potential changes in the fair market value of financial instruments due to adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates as discussed below. We do not use derivative financial instruments where the objective is to generate profits solely from trading activities.

Commodity Price Risk

We use a variety of raw materials, primarily metals and semi-processed or finished components, that are generally available from various sources. Commodity pricing for metals, such as nickel, chrome, molybdenum, vanadium, manganese and steel scrap, fluctuate with the market. As a result, our earnings are exposed to commodity market price fluctuations. Although some cost increases may be recovered through increased prices to customers, we attempt to control such costs through fixed-price contracts with suppliers and various other programs, such as our global supply chain activities.


Refer
Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct operations around the world in a number of different currencies. Many of our foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. Our earnings are therefore subject to “Management’s Discussionchange due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when the earnings in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars. We do not hedge this translation impact on earnings. When transactions are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ respective functional currencies, both with external parties and Analysisintercompany relationships, these transactions result in increased exposure to foreign currency exchange effects. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of gain or loss in the fair value of derivative instruments that would have resulted from a 10 percent increase or decrease in the underlying price of the contracts was not material.

Interest Rate Risk

Our use of fixed- or variable-rate debt directly exposes us to interest rate risk. Fixed-rate debt, such as the senior notes, exposes us to changes in the fair value of our debt due to changes in market interest rates. Fixed-rate debt also exposes us to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates, or that we may be obligated to pay rates higher than the current market rate. Variable-rate debt, such as our term loan or borrowings under our revolving credit facility, exposes us to short-term changes in market rates that impact our interest expense.

As of September 30, 2020, we had unhedged variable rate debt of $190.0 million related to our 2018 Term Loan Facility with an interest rate of 2.69%. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the interest rate, or 27 basis points, would result in an increase to interest expense of $0.5 million on an annualized basis.

We also had unhedged variable rate debt of $530.3 million related to our 2020 Term Loan Facility with an interest rate of 6.00%. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the interest rate, or 60 basis points, would result in an increase to interest expense of $1.9 million. As the 2020 Term Loan Facility was acquired as part of the Merger on June 3, 2020, we have calculated the interest rate sensitivity on the interest expense expected to be incurred for the period subsequent to the Merger date through December 31, 2020.

Fair Value of Financial ConditionInstruments

The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt and Results of Operations—Risk Management” in the Information Statementvariable rate debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions. We do not currently intend to enter into any interest rate hedging agreements, but will continue to monitor interest rate exposure. See Note 13—Fair Value Measurements to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Amendment No.Part I, Item 1 to theof this Quarterly Report on Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018. There have been no material changes in10-Q for further discussion of our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2017.financial instruments.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


With the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act)“Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectivelynot effective as of MarchSeptember 30, 2020 because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) described in Item 9A - Controls and Procedures in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

In conducting management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, we have excluded the operations of ChampionX Holding Inc. (“legacy ChampionX”) as permitted by the SEC. As part of our ongoing integration of legacy ChampionX, we continue to incorporate our controls and procedures into legacy ChampionX subsidiaries and to expand our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in an acquisition of this size and complexity. The legacy ChampionX subsidiaries account for approximately 51.1% of our total assets as of September 30, 2020.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses noted above, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented.


There
Remediation Activities

As described in Item 9A - Controls and Procedures in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, developed a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses. As part of our remediation plan, we have implemented new and enhanced processes, procedures and controls to address certain control deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses. Specifically, management has:

Reviewed staffing competencies and resource requirements at ESP and within the Artificial Lift business and used the results of our review as part of our overall financial statement risk assessment process.

Made personnel changes, including terminations and hiring of staff for both current and newly created positions, at ESP and within the Artificial Lift business in order to strengthen the control environment and to ensure we have a sufficient complement of resources with an appropriate degree of knowledge, expertise and skills commensurate with our financial statement requirements.

Engaged third party experts to assist management in assessing and designing new and enhanced processes, procedures, and controls, including automation of certain processes and controls, at ESP and within the Artificial Lift business.

Implemented policies, procedures and controls at ESP and within the Artificial Lift business to (i) ensure price and quantity are accurately recorded and supported by agreements with customers as part of the revenue recognition process and (ii) properly calculate and support management’s review and assessment for the valuation of accounts receivable reserves.

Implemented policies, procedures and controls at ESP to (i) ensure manual journal entries are properly prepared and reviewed for accuracy and appropriate supporting documentation and (ii) properly account for inventory transfers and fixed asset deployments and disposals as part of ESP’s leased asset program.

Conducted policies and procedural training for all personnel responsible for the performance of control activities over financial reporting as well as specific training for personnel responsible for control activities associated with manual journal entries, revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets at ESP and within the Artificial lift business.

Enhanced and formalized certain elements of our Enterprise Risk Management program, including our review and response to significant business changes, within our risk assessment process.

Implemented controls to ensure proper segregation of duties associated with user access rights to system capabilities within the general ledger, specifically the restriction of a system user’s ability to both prepare and post journal entries.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in internal controlscontrol over financial reporting identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended March 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of theirthe inherent uncertainty.uncertainty of litigation. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our combinedcondensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 7—Commitments And Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


In addition toInformation concerning our risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018, the following risk factor was identified:

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and operating flexibility.

In connection with the Separation, we incurred a significant amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2018, after giving effect to the Separation, our total debt would have been approximately $700 million (net of original issue discount and deferred financings costs), and we would have had unused commitments of approximately $250 million under our five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (less the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder).

Subject to the limitsis contained in the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture that governs our senior notes, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our level of debt could intensify.

Specifically, our level of debt could have important consequences, including:

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our senior notes and our other debt;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our business operations;
requiring a substantial portionPart II, Item 1A of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments;Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and is incorporated by reference herein.
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest;
limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;
placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and
increasing our cost of borrowing.

In addition, the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture that governs our senior notes contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term interests. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our debt.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness as well as any future debt that we may incur depends upon the level of cash flows generated by our operations, our ability to sell assets, availability under our five-year senior secured revolving credit facility and our ability to access the capital markets and/or other sources of financing. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, industry, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including (i) reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes or (ii) dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the oil and gas industry could be impaired.
