Overview and Industry Outlook
Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services and the Companys business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil
5
and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. The level of capital expenditures has generally been dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental regulation, tax policies, and the ability of OPEC and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. Capital expenditures are also dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the availability, expiration date and price of offshore leases, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas and technological advances. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. Declines in oil and gas prices may adversely affect the willingness of some oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore, which could have an adverse impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Oil and gas prices fell from previously high historic levels beginning in mid-2008 and continuing into 2009, and began to stabilize somewhat in the latter half of 2009. Brent Crude oil prices in 2010 ranged from $67.18 per barrel to $93.63 per barrel. In April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon incident resulted in a temporary drilling moratorium in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Although the moratorium was lifted in October 2010, the stagnation of the permitting process continued to be a significant issue throughout 2010 and 2011. In 2011, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement of the U.S. Department of Interior issued numerous new regulations in an effort to improve offshore drilling safety. In 2011, Brent Crude oil prices peaked at $126.64 per barrel and ended the year at $108.09 per barrel. In 2012, Brent Crude oil prices ranged between $88.69 per barrel and $128.14 per barrel with an average price of $111.57 per barrel and ended the year at $110.80 per barrel. In 2013, Brent Crude oil prices ranged between $96.84 per barrel and $118.90 per barrel and ended the year at $109.95 per barrel. The Company expects that the need for specialized products on a global basis will continue.
The Company expects continued volatility in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production, for a variety of reasons. A significant and prolonged decline in hydrocarbon prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsA material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.
Products and Services
Dril-Quips revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of offshore drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance for installation of the Companys products, reconditioning services and rental of running tools for installation and retrieval of the Companys products. In 2013, the Company derived 84% of its revenues from the sale of its products and 16% of its revenues from services compared to 83% and 17% in 2012 and 85% and 15% in 2011, respectively.
Products
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and markets subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment. The Companys products are used to explore for oil and gas from offshore drilling rigs, such as floating rigs and jack-up rigs, and for drilling and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, tension leg platforms (TLPs), Spars and moored vessels such as FPSOs. TLPs are floating production platforms that are connected to the ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers. A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven times longer than its diameter and is anchored in place. FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels.
6
Subsea Equipment. Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas wells around the world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, production riser systems, subsea production trees, liner hangers, subsea control systems and subsea manifolds.
Subsea wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed subsea to suspend casing (downhole pipe). As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter casing strings are installed, each suspended by an independent casing hanger. Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs, either semi-submersible or drillship types, and TLPs and Spars. The Companys SS-20 BigBore II-H Subsea Wellhead System is designed to accommodate additional casing strings installed through a conventional marine riser and a subsea blowout preventer.
Mudline hanger systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support the weight of the various casing strings at the ocean floor while drilling a well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an orderly manner at the ocean floor after the well has been drilled, and subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it back vertically to a subsequently installed platform or by installing a subsea tree.
Large diameter weld-on specialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used in offshore wells drilled from floating drilling rigs, jack-up rigs, fixed platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or large diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a more rapid connection than other methods of connecting lengths of pipe. Connectors may be sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to sections of Company or customer supplied pipe. Dril-Quips weld-on specialty connectors are designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick, convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity compatible with casing strength.
Production riser systems are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications. Production risers provide a vertical conduit from the subsea wellhead to a TLP, Spar or FPSO.
A subsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a wellhead connector, control equipment and various other components installed on a subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well. Subsea trees may be either stand alone satellite type or template mounted cluster arrangements. Both types typically produce via flowlines to a central control point located on a platform, TLP, Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly important method for producing wells located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an established manufacturer of complicated dual-bore production trees, which are used in severe service applications. In addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a patented single bore (SingleBore) subsea completion system which features a hydraulic mechanism instead of a wireline-installed mechanism that allows the operator to plug the tubing hanger annulus remotely from the surface via a hydraulic control line and subsequently unplug it when the well is put on production. This mechanism eliminates the need for an expensive multibore installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation time. Dril-Quips guidelineless subsea production tree is used in ultra-deepwater applications. This tree features remote multiple flowline and control connections, utilizing remotely operated intervention tools. The Companys subsea production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
A liner hanger is used to hang-off and seal casing into a previously installed casing string in the well bore, and can provide a means of tying back the liner for production to surface. Dril-Quip has developed a state-of-the-art liner hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of difficult well applications, resulting in improved industry recognition and market opportunities.
A subsea control system provides control of subsea trees, manifolds and other ocean floor process equipment. Dril-Quip has developed a variety of subsea control systems, including fiber optic based multiplex control systems that provide real time access to tree functions and tree equipment status. The control system can
7
be packaged for shallow water or deepwater applications. Dril-Quip also manufactures control systems used in the installation, retrieval and workover of production equipment.
A subsea manifold is a structure located on the ocean floor consisting of valves, chokes, flowline connections and a control module used to collect and control the flow of oil and gas from subsea wells for delivery to a terminal.
Surface Equipment. Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, TLPs and Spars. Included in the Companys surface equipment product line are platform wellheads, platform production trees and riser tensioners. Dril-Quips development of platform wellheads and platform production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its existing subsea wellhead and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.
Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed at the platform deck to suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing wellhead systems with operational time-saving features which can be used in high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and production applications.
After installation of a wellhead, a platform production tree, consisting of gate valves, a wellhead connector, controls, tree cap and associated equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas production. Platform production trees are similar to subsea production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than hydraulically activated, valves and connectors. Platform wellheads and platform production trees and associated equipment are designed and manufactured in accordance with customer specifications.
Riser tensioners are used on a floating drilling/production vessel to provide a continuous and reliable upward force on a riser, independent of the movement of the floating vessel.
Offshore Rig Equipment. Offshore rig equipment includes drilling riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. The drilling riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the telescopic joint, which connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at the rig and provides a means to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector, which provides a means for remote connection and disconnection of the drilling riser system to and from the blowout preventer stack. The wellhead connector provides remote connection/disconnection of the blowout preventer stack, production tree or production riser to/from the wellhead. Diverters are used to provide protection from shallow gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation.
Wellhead connectors and drilling riser systems are also used on both TLPs and Spars, which are being installed more frequently in deepwater applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs, rig upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Drilling risers, wellhead connectors and diverters are generally designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
Certain products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Services
Services provided by Dril-Quip include technical advisory services, reconditioning of its customer-owned products, and rental of running tools for installation and retrieval of its products. These services are provided from the Companys worldwide locations and represented approximately 16% of revenues in 2013 compared to 17% in 2012 and 15% in 2011.
Technical Advisory. Dril-Quip does not install products for its customers, but provides technical advisory assistance to the customer, if requested, in the installation of its products. The customer is not obligated to utilize
8
these services and may use its own personnel or a third party to perform these services. Technical advisory services performed by the Company are negotiated and sold separately from the Companys products. These services are not a prerequisite to the sale of the Companys products as its products are fully functional on a stand alone basis. The Companys technicians provide assistance in the onsite installation of the Companys products and are available on a 24-hour call out from the Companys facilities located in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Macae, Brazil; New Orleans, Louisiana; Perth, Australia; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Tianjin, China; Alexandria, Egypt; Takoradi, Ghana and Doha, Qatar.
Reconditioning. The Company provides reconditioning of its products at its facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore; Macae, Brazil; Perth, Australia; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Port Harcourt, Nigeria; Tianjin, China; Alexandria, Egypt; Takoradi, Ghana and Doha, Qatar. The Company does not typically service, repair or recondition its competitors products.
Rental. The Company rents running and installation tools for use in installing its products. These tools are used to install and retrieve the Companys products which are purchased by customers. Rental or purchase of running tools is not a condition of the sale of the Companys products and are contracted for separately from product sales and other services offered by the Company. Running tools are available from Dril-Quips locations in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Beverwijk, Holland; Singapore; Perth, Australia and Macae, Brazil.
Manufacturing
Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Singapore and Macae, Brazil. Each location conducts a broad variety of processes, including machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing. The Houston facility also provides forged and heat treated products to all of its major manufacturing facilities.
The Companys Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae manufacturing plants are ISO 14001/18001 and ISO 9001:2008 certified. The Houston, Aberdeen and Singapore plants are also licensed to applicable API product specifications. See Item 2. PropertiesMajor Manufacturing Facilities. Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of product quality through the use of quality assurance specialists who work with product manufacturing personnel throughout the manufacturing process by inspecting and documenting equipment as it is processed through the Companys manufacturing facilities. The Company has the capability to manufacture various products from each of its product lines at its major manufacturing facilities and believes that this localized manufacturing capability is essential in order to compete with the Companys major competitors.
The Companys manufacturing process is vertically integrated, producing a majority of its forging and heat treating requirements and essentially all of its machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing in-house. The Companys primary raw material is cast steel ingots, from which it produces steel shaped forgings at its forging and heat treatment facility in Houston, Texas. The Company routinely purchases steel ingots from multiple suppliers on a purchase order basis and does not have any long-term supply contracts. The Companys Houston facility provides forgings and heat treatment for its Houston, Aberdeen, Singapore and Macae facilities. The Companys major competitors depend on outside sources for all or a substantial portion of their forging and heat treatment requirements. The Company has made significant capital investments in developing its vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Prolonged periods of low demand in the market for offshore drilling and production equipment could have a greater effect on the Company than on certain of its competitors that have not made such large capital investments in their facilities.
Dril-Quips manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools and equipment, which contribute to the Companys product quality and timely delivery. The Company has also developed a cost effective, in-house machine tool rebuild capability which produces like new machine upgrades with customized features to enhance the economic manufacture of its specialized products. The Company purchases quality used machine tools as they become available and stores them at its
9
facilities to be rebuilt and upgraded as the need arises. Rebuilding used machine tools allows for greater customization suitable for manufacturing Dril-Quip proprietary product lines. This strategy provides the added advantage of in-house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these machines. A significant portion of the Companys manufacturing capacity growth has been through the rebuild/upgrade of quality used machine tools, including the replacement of outdated control systems with state-of-the-art CNC controls.
Customers
The Companys principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies. Offshore drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of the Companys customer base. The Companys customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in offshore exploration and production.
The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2013 the Companys top 15 customers represented approximately 64% of the total revenues and Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues. In 2012 and 2011, the Companys top 15 customers represented approximately 62% of total revenues in both years. Petrobras accounted for approximately 12% and 15%, of the Companys total revenues in 2012 and 2011, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues in 2013, 2012 or 2011. The number and variety of the Companys products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount of that customers capital expenditure budget devoted to offshore exploration and production and on the results of competitive bids for major projects. Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of its significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
Backlog
Backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase order or signed contract has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. The Companys revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Companys backlog was approximately $1.2 billion, $881 million and $716 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2013 backlog represents an increase of approximately $319 million, or 36%, from 2012 to 2013 and an increase of approximately $484 million, or 68%, from 2011 to 2013. The Company expects to fill approximately 65% of the December 31, 2013 backlog by December 31, 2014. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2013 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. In August 2012, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazils national oil company. At exchange rates in effect at the signing date (2.04 Brazilian Reis to 1.00 U.S. Dollar), the contract was valued at $650 million, net of Brazilian taxes, if all the equipment under the contract is ordered. Amounts will be included in the Companys backlog as purchase orders under the contract are received. As of December 31, 2013, the Companys backlog included approximately $131 million of purchase orders under the new Petrobras contract. Shipments totaling approximately $12 million have been made on this contract through December 31, 2013. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.
Marketing and Sales
Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly through its sales personnel in two domestic and twenty international locations. In addition, in certain foreign markets the Company utilizes independent sales agents or representatives to enhance its marketing and sales efforts.
Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has sales agents or representatives are India, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. Although they do not have authority to contractually
10
bind the Company, these representatives market the Companys products in their respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company advertises its products and services in trade and technical publications targeted to its customer base. The Company also participates in industry conferences and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of its products.
The Companys customers generally order products on a purchase order basis. Orders, other than those considered to be long-term projects, are typically filled within nine to twelve months after receipt of a purchase order, depending on the type of product and whether it is sold out of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the Companys larger, more complex products, such as subsea production trees, drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars can take a year or more to complete.
The primary factors influencing a customers decision to purchase the Companys products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price and technologically superior features. Timely delivery of equipment is also very important to customer operations and the Company maintains an experienced sales coordination staff to help assure such delivery. For large drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate customer needs with the Companys engineering, manufacturing and service organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors.
A portion of the Companys business consists of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number of such projects in any year may fluctuate. The Companys profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and cost effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid specifications. Various factors can adversely affect the Companys performance on individual projects, with potential material adverse effects on project profitability.
Product Development and Engineering
The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as offshore exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments. Conditions encountered in these environments include water depths in excess of 10,000 feet, well pressures exceeding 15,000 psi (pounds per square inch), well flowing temperatures beyond 350o F (Fahrenheit), and mixed flows of oil, gas and water that may also be highly corrosive.
Since its founding, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing product development to generate new products and improve existing products. When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most technologically advanced version for a particular application to establish its reputation and qualification in that product. Thereafter, the Company leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to produce less costly and complex versions of the product for less demanding applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but also operating and installation costs associated with its products.
The Company has continually introduced new products and product enhancements since its founding in 1981. In the 1980s, the Company introduced its first product, specialty connectors, as well as mudline suspension systems, template systems and subsea wellheads. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of new products, including diverters, wellhead connectors, SingleBore subsea trees, improved severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform valves, platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser systems, drilling riser systems and TLP and Spar production riser systems. Since 2000, Dril-Quip has introduced multiple new products including liner hangers, subsea control systems, subsea manifolds and riser tensioners.
Dril-Quips product development work is primarily conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas and Aberdeen, Scotland. In addition to the work of its product development staff, the Companys application engineering staff provides engineering services to customers in connection with the design and sales of its
11
products. The Companys ability to develop new products and maintain technological advantages is important to its future success. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop new products, successfully differentiate itself from its competitors or adapt to evolving markets and technologies.
The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing product development and manufacturing activities, Dril-Quips policy has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to the Company and almost all of the Companys products have components that are covered by patents.
Dril-Quip has numerous U.S. registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip®, Quik-Thread®, Quik-Stab®, Multi-Thread®, MS-15®, SS-15®, SS-10® and SU-90®. The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries where such registration is deemed material.
Although in the aggregate, the Companys patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Dril-Quip® trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to the Companys trade secrets.
Competition
Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers and suppliers of exploration and production equipment. Several of its primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many instances, have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer period of time than the Company. The Company competes principally with GE Oil and Gas (formerly Vetco Gray), and the petroleum production equipment segments of OneSubsea (a joint venture of Cameron International Corporation and Schlumberger, Ltd.), FMC Technologies, Inc. and Aker Solutions.
Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of the Companys competitors have the ability to provide turnkey services for offshore drilling and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to the exclusion of Dril-Quips products. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsWe may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment. The Company also competes to a lesser extent with a number of other companies in various products. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum drilling and production equipment markets are quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery.
Employees
The total number of the Companys employees as of December 31, 2013 was 2,637. Of these, 1,363 were located in the United States. Substantially all of the Companys employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.
The Companys operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. While the Company believes that its wage and salary rates are competitive and that its relationship with its labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages and salaries paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of the Companys labor force, increases in the wage and salary rates paid by the Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by the Company from work in progress would be
12
reduced and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the Company could be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be impaired. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsLoss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.
Governmental Regulations
Many aspects of the Companys operations are affected by political developments and are subject to both domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, the discharge of materials into the environment from our manufacturing or other facilities, health and worker safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to human health and environmental protection. In addition, the Company depends on the demand for its services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect the Companys operations by limiting demand for the Companys products. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur operations and our customers operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of the environment. Legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken new efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA has expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and has adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. Moreover, offshore drilling in certain areas has been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. To the extent that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or restrict offshore drilling or impose additional environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the offshore drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur business and our customers businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Based on the Companys experience to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of or by regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
In this Item 1A. the terms we, our, us, and Dril-Quip used herein refer to Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or as the context so requires.
A material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.
Our business depends upon the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. The
14
level of capital expenditures is generally dependent on the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including:
| worldwide economic activity; |
| the level of exploration and production activity; |
| interest rates and the cost of capital; |
| environmental regulation; |
| federal, state and foreign policies regarding exploration and development of oil and gas; |
| the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to set and maintain production levels and pricing; |
| governmental regulations regarding future oil and gas exploration and production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere; |
| the cost of exploring and producing oil and gas; |
| the cost of developing alternative energy sources; |
| the availability, expiration date and price of offshore leases in the United States and overseas; |
| the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas; |
| the success of drilling for oil and gas in unconventional resource plays such as shale formations; |
| technological advances; and |
| weather conditions. |
Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political and economic events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Brent crude oil prices in 2013 ranged from $96.84 per barrel to $118.90 per barrel. Brent crude oil prices in 2012 ranged from $88.69 per barrel to $128.14 per barrel. Brent crude oil prices in 2011 peaked at $126.64 per barrel and ended the year at $108.09 per barrel. We expect continued volatility in both crude oil and natural gas prices as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. In addition, future significant or prolonged declines in hydrocarbon prices may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Certain matters relating to the Deepwater Horizon explosion, subsequent oil spill, moratorium and related regulations on deepwater drilling offshore in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico may continue to adversely affect our business in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and potentially in other worldwide locations.
On April 22, 2010, a deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling rig known as the Deepwater Horizon that was operated by BP Exploration & Production, Inc. (BP) sank after an explosion and fire that began on April 20, 2010. Pursuant to a contract that we entered into with an affiliate of BP, we supplied to BP a wellhead and certain other equipment that were in use on the Deepwater Horizon at the time of the incident.
We were named, along with other unaffiliated defendants, in both class action and other lawsuits arising from the Deepwater Horizon incident. The actions filed against us were consolidated, along with hundreds of other lawsuits not directly naming us, in the multi-district proceeding In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010 (MDL Proceeding). The lawsuits generally alleged, among other things, violation of state and federal environmental and other laws and regulations, negligence, gross negligence, strict liability, personal injury and/or property damages and generally sought awards of unspecified economic, compensatory and punitive damages and/or declaratory relief.
15
On January 20, 2012, the judge presiding over the MDL Proceeding, a related proceeding filed by affiliates of Transocean Ltd under the Limitation of Liability Act, and the U.S. governments action under the Oil Pollution Act, issued an order that granted our Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed all claims asserted against us in those proceedings with prejudice. On April 9, 2012, the judge issued an order granting a final judgment in favor of us with respect to the courts prior order that granted our Motion for Summary Judgment.
One of the lawsuits against the Company consolidated in the MDL Proceeding was a personal injury lawsuit initially filed in a Texas state court. The plaintiff has filed a motion to remand the lawsuit back to the Texas state court.
Additional lawsuits may be filed and additional investigations may be launched in the future. An adverse outcome with respect to any of these lawsuits or investigations, or any lawsuits or investigations that may arise in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
At the time of the Deepwater Horizon incident, we had a general liability insurance program with an aggregate coverage limit of $100 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. The coverage was increased to $200 million in October 2010. The insurance policies may not cover all potential claims and expenses relating to the Deepwater Horizon incident or future incidents. In addition, our policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. We may experience further tightening of the availability of insurance coverage. If liability limits are increased or the insurance market becomes more restricted, the risks and costs of conducting offshore exploration and development activities may increase, which could materially impact our results of operations.
In November 2012, the EPA suspended BP from new contracts with the U.S. government. Under the suspension, no new contracts can be entered into between the U.S. government and BP, including new leases of offshore tracts. The suspension could have an adverse effect on our revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
Since the Deepwater Horizon incident, various new regulations intended to improve offshore safety systems and environmental protection have been issued that have increased the complexity of the drilling permit process and may limit the opportunity for some operators to continue deepwater drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which could adversely affect the Companys financial operations. Third party challenges to industry operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico may also serve to further delay or restrict activities. If the new regulations, policies, operating procedures and possibility of increased legal liability are viewed by our current or future customers as a significant impairment to expected profitability on projects, they could discontinue or curtail their offshore operations, thereby adversely affecting our financial operations by decreasing demand for our products.
We may not be able to satisfy technical requirements, testing requirements or other specifications under contracts and contract tenders.
Our products are used in deepwater, harsh environments and severe service applications. Our contracts with customers and customer requests for bids typically set forth detailed specifications or technical requirements for our products and services, which may also include extensive testing requirements. We anticipate that such testing requirements will become more common in our contracts. In addition, recent scrutiny of the offshore drilling industry triggered by the Deepwater Horizon incident has resulted in more stringent technical specifications for our products and more comprehensive testing requirements for our products to ensure compliance with such specifications. We cannot assure you that our products will be able to satisfy the specifications or that we will be able to perform the full-scale testing necessary to prove that the product specifications are satisfied in future contract bids or under existing contracts, or that the costs of modifications to our products to satisfy the specifications and testing will not adversely affect our results of operations. If our products are unable to satisfy such requirements, or we are unable to perform any required full-scale testing, our customers may cancel their contracts and/or seek new suppliers, and our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position may be adversely affected.
16
We rely on technology provided by third parties and our business may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to renew our licensing arrangements with them.
We have existing contracts and may enter into new contracts with customers that require us to use technology or to purchase components from third parties, including some of our competitors. In the ordinary course of our business, we have entered into licensing agreements with some of these third parties for the use of such technology, including a license from a competitor of a technology important to our subsea wellheads. We may not be able to renew our existing licenses or to purchase these components on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to use a technology or purchase a component, we may not be able to meet existing contractual commitments without increased costs or modifications or at all. In addition, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology or component or to redesign our products, either of which could result in a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.
Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than ours and which have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer time than us. If these competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing competitive products and services, we may not be able to compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product and service offerings and financial resources, further intensifying competition.
The loss of a significant customer could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
Our principal customers are major integrated oil and gas companies, large independent oil and gas companies and foreign national oil and gas companies. Offshore drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a portion of our customer base. In 2013, our top 15 customers represented approximately 64% of total revenues, and Petrobras accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues. In 2012 and 2011, our top 15 customers represented approximately 62% of total revenues for both years. Petrobras accounted for approximately 12% and 15% of our total revenues in 2012 and 2011, respectively. While we are not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our customers industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers or the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.
Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing processes could negatively impact our profitability.
Any increases in commodity prices for items such as nickel, molybdenum and heavy metal scrap that are used to make the steel alloys required for our products would result in an increase in our raw material costs.
17
Similarly, any increase in energy costs would increase our product costs. If we are not successful in raising our prices on products to compensate for any increased raw material or energy costs, our margins will be negatively impacted.
We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, and our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.
Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials from third parties. The ability of these third parties to deliver raw materials may be affected by events beyond our control. Any interruption in the supply of raw materials needed to manufacture our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation with our customers.
Conditions in the global financial system may have impacts on our business and financial position that we currently cannot predict.
Uncertainty and turmoil in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability of our customers to finance purchases of our products and services and could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders included in our backlog or adversely affect the collectability of our receivables. If the availability of credit to our customers is reduced, they may reduce their drilling and production expenditures, thereby decreasing demand for our products and services, which could have a negative impact on our financial position. Additionally, unsettled conditions could have an impact on our suppliers, causing them to be unable to meet their obligations to us. Although we do not currently anticipate a need to access the credit markets in the short term, a prolonged constriction on future lending by banks or investors could result in higher interest rates on future debt obligations or could restrict our ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet our long-term operational and capital needs.
Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.
The revenues projected in our backlog may not be realized or, if realized, may not result in profits. All of the projects currently included in our backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay us for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
We can give no assurance that our backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of our products are affected by prices for oil and natural gas, which may fluctuate significantly. Future declines in oil and natural gas prices could reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in our future backlog. If we experience significant project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments to contracts reflected in our backlog, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.
Our international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
We have substantial international operations, with approximately 67%, 74% and 69% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We operate our business and market our products and services in all of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and are, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. Risks associated with our international operations include:
| volatility in general economic, social and political conditions; |
| terrorist threats or acts, war and civil disturbances; |
| expropriation or nationalization of assets; |
18
| renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts; |
| foreign taxation, including changes in laws or interpretations of existing laws; |
| assaults on property or personnel; |
| restrictive action by local governments; |
| foreign and domestic monetary policies; |
| limitations on repatriation of earnings; |
| travel limitations or operational problems caused by public health threats; and |
| changes in currency exchange rates. |
Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture products abroad or the demand for our products and services in some locations. To date, we have not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations.
Our international operations expose us to compliance risks.
Doing business on a worldwide basis exposes us and our subsidiaries to risks inherent in complying with the laws and regulations of a number of different nations, including various anti-bribery laws. We do business and have operations in a number of developing countries that have relatively underdeveloped legal and regulatory systems compared to more developed countries. Several of these countries are generally perceived as presenting a higher than normal risk of corruption, or as having a culture in which requests for improper payments are not discouraged. Maintaining and administering an effective anti-bribery compliance program under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the United Kingdoms Bribery Act of 2010, and similar statutes of other nations, in these environments presents greater challenges than is the case in more developed countries.
In addition, our import and export activities are governed by unique customs laws and regulations in each of the countries where we operate. The laws and regulations concerning import and export activity, recordkeeping and reporting, import and export control and economic sanctions are complex and subject to frequent change.
The precautions we take to prevent and detect misconduct, fraud or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations may not be able to prevent such occurrences, and we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to fines, penalties or other sanctions, including debarment from government contracts, seizure of shipments and loss of import and export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final determination of our tax liabilities.
As a result of our international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. Therefore, the final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of the statutes and requirements of taxing authorities worldwide. Foreign income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by foreign tax authorities. These tax examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes, interest or penalties. Refer to Item 3. Legal Proceedings regarding tax assessments in Brazil.
Our excess cash is invested in various financial instruments which may subject us to potential losses.
We invest excess cash in various financial instruments including interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. However, changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the issuers, can affect the market value of our short-term investments.
19
We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations and limitations on the ability to repatriate income or capital to the United States.
We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U. S. dollar, and our operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect the Company against such fluctuations in the future. Historically, we have not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings. However, as we expand our international operations, we may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, we cannot assure you that the countries in which we currently operate will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future.
Our foreign subsidiaries also hold significant amounts of cash that may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes of the applicable foreign country if we dividend that cash to its parent company located in the United States.
Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. In addition, certain areas where our products are used, including in and near the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, are close to high population areas and subject to hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions on a relatively frequent basis. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and/or services are used may expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, environmental damage or commercial claims. Effective October 1, 2010, we increased our general liability insurance program to include an aggregate coverage limit of $200 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. However, our insurance policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. In addition, our insurance does not provide coverage for all liabilities, and we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We attempt to further limit our liability through contractual indemnification provisions with our customers. We generally seek to enter into contracts for the provision of our products and services that provide for (1) the responsibility of each party to the contract for personal injuries to, or the death of, its employees and damages to its property, (2) cross-indemnification with other contractors providing products and/or services to the other party to the contract with respect to personal injury, death and property damage and (3) the operator being responsible for claims brought by third parties for personal injury, death, property loss or damage relating to pollution or other well control events. We may not be able to successfully obtain favorable contractual provisions, and a failure to do so may increase our risks and costs, which could materially impact our results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that any party that is contractually obligated to indemnify us will be financially able to do so.
We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
A portion of our business consists of the designing, manufacturing and selling of our equipment for major projects pursuant to competitive bids, and is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all cost overruns, other than the amount of any cost overruns resulting from requested changes in order specifications. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. This may occur for various reasons, including:
| errors in estimates or bidding; |
20
| changes in availability and cost of labor and materials; and |
| variations in productivity from our original estimates. |
These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.
Technology is an important component of our business and growth strategy, and our success as a company depends to a significant extent on the development and implementation of new product designs and improvements. Whether we can continue to develop systems and services and related technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our ability to compete in the industry in which we operate. Many of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services and technologies than we are able to do.
Our ability to compete effectively will also depend on our ability to continue to obtain patents on our proprietary technology and products. Although we do not consider any single patent to be material to our business as a whole, the inability to protect our future innovations through patents could have a material adverse effect.
We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of percentage-of-completion accounting.
Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis. We calculate the percent complete and apply the percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Accordingly, purchase order price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.
Loss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.
We depend on the services of Blake DeBerry, President and Chief Executive Officer, and James Gariepy, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Together, Mr. DeBerry and Mr. Gariepy have over 30 years with the Company and approximately 60 years of relevant industry experience. The loss of either of these officers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In addition, competition for skilled machinists, fabricators and technical personnel among companies that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully and develop and produce marketable products and services. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increase in the wage rates paid by us or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by us from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, our production capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential could be impaired.
21
Our operations and our customers operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our business and our customers businesses may be significantly affected by:
| federal, state, local and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the oilfield operations, worker safety and the protection of the environment; |
| changes in these laws and regulations; and |
| the level of enforcement of these laws and regulations. |
In addition, we depend on the demand for our products and services from the oil and gas industry. This demand is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. For example, the adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect our operations by limiting demand for our products. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations and enforcement thereof.
Because of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require hiring of local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Our businesses and our customers businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.
Our operations and the operations of our customers are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect the products and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our products. For example, our operations are subject to numerous and complex laws and regulations that, among other things, may regulate the management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; require acquisition of environmental permits related to our operations; restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various materials that can be released into the environment; limit or prohibit operation activities in certain ecologically sensitive and other protected areas; regulate specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection; require compliance with operational and equipment standards; impose testing, reporting and record-keeping requirements; and require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with such environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. In addition, environmental laws and regulations could limit our customers exploration and production activities. These laws and regulations change frequently, which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future operations. For example, legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases has been introduced in the U.S. Congress, and there has been a wide-ranging policy debate, both nationally and internationally, regarding the impact of these gases and possible means for their regulation. In addition, efforts have been made and continue to be made in the international community toward the adoption of international treaties or protocols that would address global climate change issues, such as the annual United Nations Climate Change Conferences. Also, the EPA has undertaken new efforts to collect information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and their effects. Following a finding by the EPA that certain greenhouse gases represent a danger to human health, the EPA has expanded its regulations relating to those emissions and has adopted rules imposing permitting and reporting obligations. To date, there has been no significant progress in cap and trade proposals. The results of the permitting and reporting requirements could lead to further regulation of these greenhouse gases by the EPA. The adoption of additional legislation or regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas
22
emissions could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the hydrocarbons that our customers produce. Consequently, such legislation or regulatory programs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. It is too early to determine whether, or in what form, further regulatory action regarding greenhouse gas emissions will be adopted or what specific impact a new regulatory action might have on us or our customers. Generally, the anticipated regulatory actions do not appear to affect us in any material respect that is different, or to any materially greater or lesser extent, than other companies that are our competitors. However, our business and prospects could be adversely affected to the extent laws are enacted or modified or other governmental action is taken that prohibits or restricts our customers exploration and production activities or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to us or our customers.
Environmental laws may provide for strict liability for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties, and criminal prosecution. Some environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. These laws and regulations also may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations at the time such acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations could result in claims, fines or expenditures that could be material to results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are subject to large fluctuations in response to any of the following:
| limited trading volume in our common stock; |
| quarterly variations in operating results; |
| general financial market conditions; |
| the prices of natural gas and oil; |
| announcements by us and our competitors; |
| our liquidity; |
| changes in government regulations; |
| our ability to raise additional funds; |
| our involvement in litigation; and |
| other events. |
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the near future.
We have not paid any dividends in the past and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors reviews this policy on a regular basis in light of our earnings, financial position and market opportunities. We currently intend to retain any earnings for the future operation and development of our business.
23
Provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders.
The existence of some provisions in our corporate documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even if that change would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make acquiring control of our company difficult, including:
| provisions relating to the classification, nomination and removal of our directors; |
| provisions regulating the ability of our stockholders to bring matters for action at annual meetings of our stockholders; |
| provisions requiring the approval of the holders of at least 80% of our voting stock for a broad range of business combination transactions with related persons; and |
| the authorization given to our board of directors to issue and set the terms of preferred stock. |
Our stockholder rights plan could also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, our company or a large block of our common stock. In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.

Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
Deepwater Horizon Incident
On April 22, 2010, a deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling rig known as the Deepwater Horizon, operated by BP sank after an explosion and fire that began on April 20, 2010. We were named, along with other unaffiliated defendants, in both class action and other lawsuits arising from the Deepwater Horizon incident. In 2012, the judge presiding over various lawsuits and proceedings dismissed all claims asserted against us in those proceedings with prejudice.
One of the lawsuits against us consolidated in the MDL Proceeding was a personal injury lawsuit initially filed in a Texas state court. The plaintiff has filed a motion to remand the lawsuit back to the Texas state court. If the lawsuit is remanded to the Texas state court, the Company intends to vigorously defend that lawsuit and does not believe it will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Additional lawsuits may be filed and additional investigations may be launched in the future. An adverse outcome with respect to any of these lawsuits or investigations, or any lawsuits or investigations that may arise in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We intend to continue to vigorously defend any litigation, fine or penalty relating to the Deepwater Horizon incident. We do not believe this litigation will have a material impact and accordingly, no liability has been accrued in conjunction with these matters.
At the time of the Deepwater Horizon incident, we had a general liability insurance program with an aggregate coverage limit of $100 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. The coverage was increased to $200 million in October 2010. The insurance policies may not cover all potential claims and expenses relating to the Deepwater Horizon incident. In addition, our policies may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. We may experience further tightening of the availability of insurance coverage. If liability limits are increased or the insurance market becomes more restricted, the risks and costs of conducting offshore exploration and development activities may increase, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil and subsequently transferred them to its facility in the State of Rio de Janeiro. During that period, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary paid taxes to the State of Espirito Santo on its imports. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Companys understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In August 2007, the State of Rio de Janeiro served the Companys Brazilian subsidiary with assessments to collect a state tax on the importation of goods through the State of Espirito Santo from 2002 to 2007 claiming that these taxes were due and payable to it under applicable law. The Company settled these assessments with payments to the State of Rio de Janeiro of $12.2 million in March 2010 and $3.9 million in December 2010. Approximately $7.8 million of these settlement payments were attributable to penalties, interest and amounts that had expired under the statute of limitations so that amount was recorded as an expense. The remainder of the settlement payments generated credits (recorded as a prepaid tax) that can be used to offset future state taxes on sales to customers in the State of Rio de Janeiro once certified by the tax authorities under a process that is currently ongoing. When the credits are certified, the Company will have a five-year period in which to utilize them.
In December 2010 and January 2011, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary was served with additional assessments totaling approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Santo Credits are not related to the credits described in the immediately preceding paragraph. The Company has objected to these assessments on the basis that they would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the matter is probable. Based upon this analysis, the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
Since 2007, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary has paid taxes on the importation of goods directly to the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Company does not expect any similar issues to exist for periods subsequent to 2007.
For a further description of the Companys legal proceedings, see Commitments and Contingencies, Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected aspects of the Companys financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered offshore drilling and production equipment that is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. The Company designs and manufactures subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment for use by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. The Companys principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, subsea control systems and manifolds, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, liner hangers, wellhead connectors and diverters. Dril-Quip also provides technical advisory services on an as-requested basis during installation of its products, as well as rework and reconditioning services for customer-owned Dril-Quip products. In addition, Dril-Quip customers may rent or purchase running tools from the Company for use in the installation and retrieval of the Companys products.
Oil and Gas Prices
Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services and the Companys business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsA material or extended decline in expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, average Brent Crude oil and natural gas (Henry Hub) closing prices are listed below for periods covered by this report:
Average prices during year ended December 31, |
||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||||||
Crude Oil ($/Bbl) |
$ | 108.56 | $ | 111.57 | $ | 111.26 | ||||||
Natural gas ($/per Mcf) |
3.85 | 2.84 | 4.12 |
In 2011, Brent Crude oil prices began the year at $95.82 per barrel and reached a peak in May at $126.64 per barrel. In 2012, Brent Crude oil prices ranged between $88.69 per barrel and $128.14 per barrel. Crude oil ended the year of 2012 at $110.80 per barrel. In 2013, the Brent Crude oil price ranged between a low of $96.84 per barrel and a high of $118.90 per barrel with an average of $108.56 per barrel and ended the year at $109.95 per barrel.
According to the January 2014 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, Brent Crude oil prices are projected to average $105.42 per barrel in 2014 and $101.58 in 2015.
In its January 2014 report, the EIA expects Henry Hub natural gas prices to average $4.01 per Mcf in 2014 and $4.23 per Mcf in 2015. Henry Hub natural gas price was $4.44 per Mcf at the end of December 2013.
In its January 2014 Oil Market Report, the International Energy Agency projected global oil demand to increase on an annual basis by 1.3 million barrels per day in 2014 as the economy continues to recover.

According to the EIA, between January 1, 2014 and January 27, 2014, the price of Brent Crude oil ranged from $106.44 per barrel to $109.69 per barrel, closing at $108.72 per barrel on January 27, 2014. For the same period, Henry Hub natural gas price ranged from $4.07 per Mcf to $5.84 per Mcf, closing at $5.84 per Mcf on January 27, 2014.
Rig Count
Detailed below is the average contracted offshore rig count for the Companys geographic regions for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The rig count data includes floating rigs (semi-submersibles and drillships) and jack-up rigs. The Company has included only these types of rigs as they are the primary end users of the Companys products.

The table above represents rigs under contract and includes rigs currently drilling as well as rigs committed, but not yet drilling. According to ODS-Petrodata RigBase, as of December 31, 2013, there were 76 rigs under contract (43 floating rigs and 33 jack-up rigs) in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, 69 of which were actively drilling (39 floating rigs and 30 jack-up rigs). As of December 31, 2012, there were 69 rigs under contract in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (38 floating rigs and 31 jack-up rigs), of which 65 were actively drilling (34 floating rigs and 31 jack-up rigs), and as of December 31, 2011, there were 64 rigs under contract in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (29 floating rigs and 35 jack-up rigs), of which 57 were actively drilling (22 floating rigs and 35 jack-up rigs).
The Company believes that the number of rigs (semi-submersibles, drillships and jack-up rigs) under construction impacts its revenues because in certain cases, its customers order some of the Companys products during the construction of such rigs. As a result, an increase in rig construction activity tends to favorably impact the Companys backlog while a decrease in rig construction activity tends to negatively impact the Companys backlog. According to ODS-Petrodata, at the end of 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were 233, 186 and 146 rigs, respectively; under construction and the expected delivery dates for the rigs under construction on December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Regulation
The demand for the Companys products and services is also affected by laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of new laws and regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations that curtail exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect the Companys operations by limiting
30
demand for its products. For a description of certain actions taken by the U.S. government related to the Deepwater Horizon incident, see Commitments and Contingencies in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Environment
Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political, economic and other events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Oil and gas prices fell from previously high historic levels beginning in mid-2008 and continuing into 2009, and began to stabilize somewhat in the latter half of 2009. Brent Crude oil prices in 2010 ranged from $67.18 per barrel to $93.63 per barrel. In 2011, Brent Crude oil prices peaked at $126.64 per barrel and ended the year at $108.09 per barrel. In 2012 the Brent Crude oil prices ranged between $88.69 per barrel and $128.14 per barrel with an average price of $111.57 per barrel and ended the year at $110.80 per barrel. In 2013 Brent Crude oil prices ranged between $96.84 per barrel and $118.90 per barrel with an average price of $108.56 per barrel and ended the year at $109.95 per barrel. The Company expects continued volatility in both crude oil and natural gas prices, as well as in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. In addition, a significant and prolonged decline in hydrocarbon prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. These risks include nationalization, expropriation, war, acts of terrorism and civil disturbance, restrictive action by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in foreign tax laws and change in currency exchange rates, any of which could have an adverse effect on either the Companys ability to manufacture its products in its facilities abroad or the demand in certain regions for the Companys products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Companys international operations could have a material adverse effect on its overall operations. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Revenues. Dril-Quips revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are derived from the sale of offshore drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory assistance for installation of the Companys products, reconditioning services and rental of running tools for installation and retrieval of the Companys products. In 2013, the Company derived 84% of its revenues from the sale of its products and 16% of its revenues from services compared to 83% and 17% in 2012 and 85% and 15% in 2011, respectively. Service revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because increased product sales typically generate increased demand for technical advisory services during installation and rental of running tools. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 67%, 74% and 69% of its revenues derived from foreign sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Substantially all of the Companys domestic revenue relates to operations in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. Domestic revenue approximated 33%, 26% and 31%, respectively, of the Companys total revenues for 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Product contracts are typically negotiated and sold separately from service contracts. In addition, service contracts are not typically included in the product contracts or related sales orders and are not offered to the
31
customer as a condition of the sale of the Companys products. The demand for products and services is generally based on world-wide economic conditions in the offshore oil and gas industry, and is not based on a specific relationship between the two types of contracts. Substantially all of the Companys sales are made on a purchase order basis. Purchase orders are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination.
Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs increase. However, the actual pricing of the Companys products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including competitive pricing pressure, the level of utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the introduction of new products and general market conditions.
The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively longer manufacturing time frames on a percentage-of-completion basis. During both 2013 and 2012, there were 21 projects that were accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, which represented approximately 15% and 20%, respectively, of the Companys total revenues and 18% and 24% of the Companys product revenues, respectively. During 2011, there were 18 projects representing 20% of the Companys total revenues and 23% of the Companys product revenues. This percentage may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete, which is used to determine the revenue earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated cost of sales. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percent complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period when they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsWe may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of percentage-of-completion accounting.

During 2013, numerous subsea equipment orders were completed and shipped, contributing to the large increase in subsea equipment revenue for the year as compared to 2012 and 2011. As the oil and gas industry continues to recover from the Deepwater Horizon incident, the number of floating rigs (the rig type where Dril-Quip equipment is normally utilized) actively drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico continues to increase. During 2013, an average of 37 floating rigs were actively drilling compared to an average of 29 in 2012 and 18 in 2011. The change in offshore rig equipment revenues in 2013 compared to 2012 resulted primarily from a reduction of revenues from projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In 2013, service revenues totaled 6.1% of total revenues compared to 6.9% in 2012 and 4.3% in 2011. The Company will continue to monitor any remaining effects of the U.S. drilling moratorium and the subsequent permitting delays on its ongoing business operations.
32
Cost of Sales. The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and manufacturing overhead. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is influenced by the product mix sold in any particular period, costs from projects accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method and market conditions. The Companys costs related to its foreign operations do not significantly differ from its domestic costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs associated with sales and marketing, general corporate overhead, compensation expense, stock-based compensation expense, legal expenses, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other related administrative functions.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. Engineering and product development expenses consist of new product development and testing, as well as application engineering related to customized products.
Income Tax Provision. The Companys overall effective income tax rate has historically been lower than the statutory rate primarily due to foreign income tax rate differentials, research and development credits and deductions related to domestic manufacturing activities.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012
Revenues. Revenues increased by $139.4 million, or approximately 19.0%, to $872.4 million in 2013 from $733.0 million in 2012. Product revenues increased by approximately $121.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of increased revenues of $127.9 million in subsea equipment, partially offset by decreases of $2.7 million in surface equipment and $3.8 million in offshore rig equipment. The increase in subsea equipment revenue was primarily due to increased revenues of $91.2 million in subsea equipment in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico as numerous subsea equipment orders were completed and shipped. Product revenues increased in the Western Hemisphere by $121.6 million and in Asia-Pacific by $10.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $10.3 million in the Eastern Hemisphere. Service revenues increased by approximately $18.0 million resulting from increased service revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $3.4 million, $9.4 million in the Eastern Hemisphere and $5.2 million in Asia-Pacific. The majority of the increases in service revenues related to increased technical advisory services and reconditioning of the Companys running and installation tools.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $62.2 million, or approximately 13.8%, to $513.9 million for 2013 from $451.7 million for the same period in 2012. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 58.9% in 2013 and 61.6% in 2012. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased in 2013 primarily due to changes in the product mix and decreases in unabsorbed manufacturing overhead expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $12.6 million, or 15.3%, to $94.8 million from $82.2 million in 2012. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased personnel and related expenses, foreign currency transactions and an increase in stock-based compensation. Personnel and related expenses were higher by $6.1 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. The Company recognized approximately $6.0 million in foreign currency transaction losses during 2013 compared to approximately $5.2 million of losses during 2012. Stock-based compensation expense for 2013 totaled $8.9 million compared to $5.7 million in 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 10.9% in 2013 and 11.2% in 2012.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2013, engineering and product development expenses increased by approximately $2.6 million, or 6.9%, to $40.1 million from $37.5 million in 2012. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel required to meet the demands of the higher backlog related to long-term projects. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 4.6% in 2013 from 5.1% in 2012.
Income tax provision. Income tax expense for 2013 was $54.3 million on income before taxes of $224.1 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 24.2%. Income tax expense in 2012 was $42.9 million on income before taxes of $162.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 26.4%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate reflects the $1.2 million Research and Development tax
34
credit from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 recognized on the 2012 U.S. income tax return, but not recorded until 2013 for financial statement purposes in accordance with GAAP. Also contributing to the decreased tax rate is the difference in income tax rates between the Companys three geographic areas.
Net Income. Net income was approximately $169.8 million in 2013 and $119.2 million in 2012 for the reasons set forth above.
Year ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011
Revenues. Revenues increased by $131.7 million, or approximately 21.9%, to $733.0 million in 2012 from $601.3 million in 2011. Product revenues increased by approximately $98.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of increased revenues of $95.9 million in subsea equipment and $11.5 million in surface equipment, partially offset by a $8.8 million decrease in offshore rig equipment. The decrease in offshore rig equipment revenue was primarily due to the reduction in the number of long-term projects with offshore rig equipment components. Product revenues increased in the Western Hemisphere by $33.8 million, $32.2 million in the Eastern Hemisphere, and in Asia-Pacific by $32.6 million. Service revenues increased by approximately $33.1 million resulting from increased service revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $31.4 million and $4.0 million in the Eastern Hemisphere, partially offset by a slight decrease of $2.3 million in Asia-Pacific. The majority of the increases in service revenues related to increased technical advisory services and increased rental of running and installation tools.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $89.9 million, or approximately 24.8%, to $451.7 million for 2012 from $361.8 million for the same period in 2011. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 61.6% in 2012 and 60.2% in 2011. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased in 2012 primarily due to changes in the product mix and increases in unabsorbed manufacturing overhead expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $11.7 million, or 16.6%, to $82.2 million from $70.5 million in 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased personnel and related expenses and foreign currency transactions, and an increase in stock award expense. Personnel and related expenses were higher by $5.9 million in 2012 as compared to 2011. The Company recognized approximately $5.2 million in foreign currency transaction losses during 2012 compared to approximately $3.5 million of losses during 2011. Stock award expense for 2012 totaled $5.7 million compared to $4.5 million in 2011. The stock award expense in 2011 excludes $1.4 million of non-cash expense due to the vesting of J. Mike Walkers stock options as a result of his retirement as CEO of the Company. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 11.2% in 2012 and 11.7% in 2011.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. For 2012, engineering and product development expenses increased by approximately $2.9 million, or 8.4%, to $37.5 million from $34.6 million in 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel required to meet the demands of the higher backlog related to long-term projects. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.1% in 2012 from 5.8% in 2011.
Special Items. In October 2011, J. Mike Walker retired and stepped down from his positions as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Under the circumstances of Mr. Walkers retirement, he was entitled to severance under his employment agreement with the Company. Pursuant to Mr. Walkers employment agreement, the Company was obligated to pay Mr. Walker, among other things, his base salary and his annual bonus through his remaining employment period (October 27, 2014). In addition, stock options owned by Mr. Walker that were outstanding at the date of the termination of his employment were immediately vested. Accordingly, the Company recognized a pre-tax expense of $4.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. The amount includes base salary and bonus, including payroll taxes, which totaled $3.3 million. The acceleration of the vesting of his stock options increased pre-tax non-cash expenses by $1.4 million.
35
Income tax provision. Income tax expense for 2012 was $42.9 million on income before taxes of $162.1 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26.4%. Income tax expense in 2011 was $34.7 million on income before taxes of $130.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 26.7%.
On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the Research and Development tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2012 and was extended through December 31, 2013. The Research and Development credit for 2012 of $1.2 million was recognized on the Companys 2012 U.S. federal income tax return but was recorded for financial statement purposes in the first quarter of 2013 in accordance with ASC 740, which requires that changes in tax laws are recorded when enacted.
Net Income. Net income was approximately $119.2 million in 2012 and $95.3 million in 2011, for the reasons set forth above.

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that are local currency functional exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are non-cash changes. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows may not reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital expenditures to improve and expand facilities and manufacture additional running tools and (ii) to fund working capital. The Companys principal source of funds is cash flows from operations.
Net cash provided from operating activities increased $170.4 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to higher net income of $50.6 million and non-cash income adjustments of $4.6 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $115.2 million in 2013. Net cash provided from operating activities decreased $110.0 million in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $139.2 million, partially offset by higher net income of $23.9 million and non-cash income adjustments of $5.3 million.
Net income increased by $50.6 million to $169.8 million in 2013 from $119.2 million in 2012. Net income increased by $23.9 million to $119.2 million in 2012 from $95.3 million in 2011. The reasons for the changes in net income are set forth in the Results of Operations section above.
The change in operating assets and liabilities of $44.7 million during 2013 primarily reflected an increase in trade receivables of $17.3 million and an increase in inventory of $10.6 million. Trade receivables increased due to the growth of revenues in 2013, partially offset by a decrease in unbilled receivables. Inventory increased due to higher balances in work in progress to accommodate the higher backlog requirements related to long-term projects. Accounts payable and accrued expenses were lower by approximately $8.6 million due to a decrease in customer prepayments.
36
The change in operating assets and liabilities of $159.9 million during 2012 primarily reflected an increase in trade receivables of $81.6 million and an increase in inventory of $81.9 million. Trade receivables increased due to the growth of revenues in 2012 and an increase in unbilled revenues related to long-term projects. Inventory increased due to higher balances in work in progress and finished goods to accommodate the higher backlog requirements related to long-term projects. Accounts payable and accrued expenses were higher by approximately $4.1 million.
The change in operating assets and liabilities of $20.7 million during 2011 primarily reflected an increase in inventory of $37.5 million primarily due to increases in work in progress and finished goods. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $41.9 million primarily due to increases in accounts payable for inventory purchases and $3.3 million for the contractual obligation for Mr. Walkers retirement and ongoing facilities construction.
Capital expenditures by the Company were $42.6 million, $50.8 million and $56.2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2013, 2012 and 2011 included expanding manufacturing facilities in Asia-Pacific and the Eastern and Western Hemispheres as well as increased expenditures on machinery and equipment and running tools due to expanded operations. The capital expenditures for 2013 were primarily $7.2 million for facilities, $23.6 million for machinery and equipment, $7.7 million for running tools and other expenditures of $4.1 million. Capital expenditures in 2012 were comprised of $9.3 million for facilities, $26.9 million for machinery and equipment, $10.5 million for running tools and other expenditures of $4.1 million. In 2011, capital expenditures were primarily $27.0 million for facilities, $15.5 million for machinery and equipment, $9.7 million for running tools and other expenditures of $4.0 million.
The exercise of stock options generated cash to the Company of $10.5 million, $10.8 million and $4.2 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011 respectively. Under a share repurchase plan approved by the Companys Board of Directors in 2012, the Company repurchased and cancelled 85,840 shares, at a total cost of $10.0 million, during the fourth quarter of 2013.
The following table presents long-term contractual obligations of the Company and the related payments in total and by year as of December 31, 2013:

In addition to the above, the Company has issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business for the purchase of goods and services. These purchase orders are enforceable and legally binding. However, none of the Companys purchase obligations call for deliveries of goods or services for time periods in excess of one year.
The Company believes that cash generated from operations plus cash on hand will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. However, any significant future decline in hydrocarbon prices, catastrophic events or significant changes in regulations affecting the Company or its customers could have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity. Should market conditions result in unexpected cash requirements, the Company believes that borrowing from commercial lending institutions would be available and adequate to meet such requirements.
Backlog
Backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase order or signed contract has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. The Companys revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Companys
37
backlog was approximately $1.2 billion, $881 million and $716 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This represents an increase of approximately $319 million, or 36%, from 2012 to 2013 and an increase of approximately $484 million, or 68%, from 2011 to 2013. In August 2012, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary, Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA, was awarded a four-year contract by Petrobras, Brazils national oil company. At exchange rates in effect at the signing date (2.04 Brazilian Reis to 1.00 U.S. Dollar), the contract is valued at $650 million, net of Brazilian taxes, if all the equipment under contract is ordered. Amounts are included in the Companys backlog as purchase orders under the contract are received. As of December 31, 2013, the Companys backlog included approximately $131 million of purchase orders under the new Petrobras contract. Shipments totaling approximately $12 million have been made on this contract through December 31, 2013. The Company expects to fill approximately 65% of the December 31, 2013 backlog by December 31, 2014. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2013 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. See Item 1A. Risk Factors - Our backlog is subject to unexpected adjustments and cancellations and is, therefore, an uncertain indicator of our future revenues and earnings.
Geographic Segments
The Companys operations are organized into three geographic segmentsWestern Hemisphere (including North and South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its headquarter locations as well as in Macae, Brazil.
Revenues for each of these segments are dependent upon the ultimate sale of products and services to the Companys customers. For information on revenues by geographic segment, see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues of the Western Hemisphere are also influenced by its sale of products to the Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific segments. Accordingly, the operating incomes of each area are closely tied to third-party sales, and the operating income of the Western Hemisphere is also dependent upon its level of intercompany sales.
Currency Risk
Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of business in currencies other than the U. S. dollar, principally the British pound sterling (GBP) in the Eastern Hemisphere and the Brazilian real (BRL) in Brazil. The Company generally attempts to minimize its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in local currency in amounts equal to the Companys estimated operating costs payable in local currency and in U.S. dollars for the balance of the contract. Because of this strategy, the Company has not experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company had, net of income taxes, transaction losses of $4.6 million, and $3.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against such fluctuations in the future.
Historically, the Company has not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings. However, as the Company expands its international operations, it may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, there can be no assurance that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future. The Company also has significant investments in countries other than the United States, principally its manufacturing operations in Scotland, Singapore, Brazil and, to a lesser extent, Norway. The functional currency of these foreign operations is the local currency except for Singapore, where the U.S. dollar is used. Financial statement assets and liabilities in the functional currency are translated at the end of the period exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.
38
Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Companys consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition.
Product Revenue
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
| product revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; and |
| product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method. |
Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method on long-term contracts that have the following characteristics:
| The contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications; |
| The structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration; |
| The contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; and |
| Product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Companys standard inventory. |
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percent complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Companys estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the percentage-of-completion method, billings do not always correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, trade receivables included $52.9 million and $62.1 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. During 2013, there were 21 projects representing approximately 15% and 18% of the Companys total revenues and product revenues, respectively, which were accounted for using percentage-of-completion accounting, and 21 projects during 2012 representing approximately 20% of the Companys total revenues and 24% of product revenues, respectively.
39
Revenues not recognized under the percentage-of-completion method
Revenues from the sale of inventory products, not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, are recorded at the time the manufacturing processes are complete and ownership is transferred to the customer.
Service revenue
The Company earns service revenues from three sources:
| technical advisory assistance; |
| rental of running tools; and |
| rework and reconditioning of customer owned Dril-Quip products. |
The Company does not install products for its customers, but it provides technical advisory assistance. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent the Companys running tools and the Company is not obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the refurbishment process is complete.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customers decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Companys technical advisory services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel.
Inventories. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations. Inventory purchased from third party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories of $33.2 million and $30.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Contingent liabilities. The Company establishes reserves for estimated loss contingencies when the Company believes a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected in net income in the period in which different or additional facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect the Companys previous assumptions with respect to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon the Companys assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the outcome differ from the Companys assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated reserves for contingent liabilities would be required.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements, contracts or operations.
New Accounting Standards
None.
40
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
The Company is currently exposed to certain market risks related to interest rate changes on its short-term investments and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such transactions.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the United States dollar, principally the British pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the Brazilian real. The Company has not experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCurrency Risk in Item 7 of this report.
The Company uses a sensitivity analysis model to measure the potential impact on revenue and net income of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates for the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar over the previous year. Based upon this model, a 10% decrease would have resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $34 million and a decrease in net income of approximately $12 million for 2013. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate decrease projected above will materialize as fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond the Companys control.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Management has designed its internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Managements assessment included review and testing of both the design effectiveness and operating effectiveness of controls over all relevant assertions related to all significant accounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992), our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.
BDO USA, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, which audited the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also issued an attestation on our internal control over financial reporting, and their report is set forth on page 44.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dril-Quip, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited Dril-Quip, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Dril-Quip, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 8. Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Dril-Quip, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Dril-Quip, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Dril-Quip, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 and our report dated February 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dril-Quip, Inc. at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Dril-Quip, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 26, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Companys more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories and contingent liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents
Short-term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. The Companys investment objectives continue to be the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
51
Trade Receivables
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to amounts estimated to be uncollectible. This estimate is based upon historical collection experience combined with a specific review of each customers outstanding trade receivable balance. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate; however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance. The following is a summary of activity relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013:

Inventories
Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Company manufactured inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations. Inventory purchased from third party vendors is principally valued at the weighted average cost. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions. The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventories. Inventory reserves of $33.2 million and $30.4 million were recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, an impairment charge is recognized by reflecting the asset at its fair value. No impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
52
enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Revenue Recognition
Product Revenue
The Company recognizes product revenues from two methods:
| product revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; and |
| product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method. |
Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method on long-term project contracts that have the following characteristics:
| The contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications; |
| The structural designs are unique and require significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration; |
| The contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; and |
| Product requirements cannot be filled directly from the Companys standard inventory. |
For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percent complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they become known. Historically, the Companys estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.
Under the percentage-of-completion method, billings do not always correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, receivables included $52.9 million and $62.1 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were 21 projects representing approximately 15% of the Companys total revenues and approximately 18% of its product revenues that were accounted for using percentage-of-completion accounting, and 21 projects during 2012 which represented 20% of the Companys total revenue and 24% of its product revenues.
Revenues not recognized under the percentage-of-completion method
Revenues from the sale of inventory products, not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, are recorded at the time the manufacturing processes are complete and ownership is transferred to the customer.
53
Service revenue
The Company earns service revenues from three sources:
| technical advisory assistance; |
| rental of running tools; and |
| rework and reconditioning of customer owned Dril-Quip products. |
The Company does not install products for its customers, but it does provide technical advisory assistance. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent the Companys running tools and the Company is not obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the refurbishment process is complete.
The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customers decision as to the timing of the product installation as well as whether Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Companys technical advisory services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders equity and have no effect on current earnings or cash flows.
Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. Exchange losses were approximately $4.6 million in 2013, $3.8 million in 2012, and $2.5 million in 2011, net of income taxes. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a pre-tax basis.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential losses, and such losses have historically been within managements expectations.
In addition, the Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury obligations. Changes in the financial markets and interest rates could affect the interest earned on short-term investments.
54
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method.

6. Income Taxes
The Company is required to recognize the impact of a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any appeals. Based on the Companys evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Companys financial statements. The evaluation was performed for the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2013, which are the years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2013. The Company has occasionally been assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions; these assessments historically have not materially impacted the Companys financial results. Interest expense assessed by tax jurisdictions is included with interest expense and assessed penalties are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized with respect to any tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013 and 2012. If it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized, a valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary.

Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been provided thereon. The estimate of undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries amounted to $547 million as of December 31, 2013. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable.
On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the Research and Development tax credit retroactive to January 1, 2012 and was extended through December 31, 2013. The Research and Development credit for 2012 of $1.2 million was recognized on the Companys 2012 U.S. federal income tax return but was recorded for financial statement purposes in the first quarter of 2013 in accordance with ASC 740.
The Company paid $41.0 million, $37.9 million and $31.9 million in income taxes in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company generally makes contributions to the plans equal to each participants eligible contributions for the plan year up to a specified percentage of the participants annual compensation. The Companys contribution expense was $4.9 million, $4.4 million and $4.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases certain offices, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment. Total lease expense incurred was $3.5 million, $2.9 million and $3.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future annual minimum lease commitments at December 31, 2013 are as follows: 2014$1,703,000; 2015$914,000; 2016$598,000, 2017$484,000; 2018$441,000; and thereafter$5.6 million.
Deepwater Horizon Incident
On April 22, 2010, a deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico drilling rig known as the Deepwater Horizon, operated by BP, sank after an explosion and fire that began on April 20, 2010. The Company was named, along with other unaffiliated defendants, in both class action and other lawsuits arising from the Deepwater Horizon incident. In 2012, the judge presiding over various lawsuits and proceedings dismissed all claims asserted against the Company in those proceedings with prejudice. On April 9, 2012, the judge issued an order granting a final judgment in favor of the Company with respect to the courts prior order that granted the Companys Motion for Summary Judgment.
One of the lawsuits against the Company consolidated in the MDL Proceeding was a personal injury lawsuit initially filed in a Texas state court. The plaintiff has filed a motion to remand the lawsuit back to the Texas state court. If the lawsuit is remanded to the Texas state court, the Company intends to vigorously defend that lawsuit and does not believe it will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations. Accordingly, no liability has been accrued in conjunction with this matter. Additional lawsuits may be filed and additional investigations may be launched in the future. An adverse outcome with respect to any of these lawsuits or investigations, or any lawsuits or investigations that may arise in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend any litigation, fine and/or penalty relating to the Deepwater Horizon incident. The Company does not believe this litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations and accordingly, no liability has been accrued in conjunction with these matters.
At the time of the Deepwater Horizon incident, the Company had a general liability insurance program with an aggregate coverage limit of $100 million for claims with respect to property damage, injury or death and pollution. The coverage was increased to $200 million in October 2010. The insurance policies may not cover all potential claims and expenses relating to the Deepwater Horizon incident. In addition, the Companys policies
58
may not cover fines, penalties or costs and expenses related to government-mandated cleanup of pollution. The Company may experience further tightening of the availability of insurance coverage. If liability limits are increased or the insurance market becomes more restricted, the risks and costs of conducting offshore exploration and development activities may increase, which could materially impact the Companys results of operations.
Brazilian Tax Issue
From 2002 to 2007, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary imported goods through the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil and subsequently transferred them to its facility in the State of Rio de Janeiro. During that period, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary paid taxes to the State of Espirito Santo on its imports. Upon the final sale of these goods, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary collected taxes from customers and remitted them to the State of Rio de Janeiro net of the taxes paid on importation of those goods to the State of Espirito Santo in accordance with the Companys understanding of Brazilian tax laws.
In August 2007, the State of Rio de Janeiro served the Companys Brazilian subsidiary with assessments to collect a state tax on the importation of goods through the State of Espirito Santo from 2002 to 2007 claiming that these taxes were due and payable to it under applicable law. The Company settled these assessments with payments to the State of Rio de Janeiro of $12.2 million in March 2010 and $3.9 million in December 2010. Approximately $7.8 million of these settlement payments were attributable to penalties, interest and amounts that had expired under the statute of limitations so that amount was recorded as an expense. The remainder of the settlement payments generated credits (recorded as a prepaid tax) that can be used to offset future state taxes on sales to customers in the State of Rio de Janeiro once certified by the tax authorities under a process that is currently ongoing. When the credits are certified, the Company will have a five-year period in which to utilize them. In December 2010 and January 2011, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary was served with additional assessments totaling approximately $13.0 million from the State of Rio de Janeiro to cancel the credits associated with the tax payments to the State of Espirito Santo (Santo Credits) on the importation of goods from July 2005 to October 2007. The Santo Credits are not related to the credits described in the immediately preceding paragraph. The Company has objected to this assessment as it would represent double taxation on the importation of the same goods and that the Company is entitled to the credits under applicable Brazilian law. The Company believes that these credits are valid and that success in the matter is probable. Based upon this analysis the Company has not accrued any liability in conjunction with this matter.
Since 2007, the Companys Brazilian subsidiary has paid taxes on the importation of goods directly to the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Company does not expect any similar issues to exist for periods subsequent to 2007.
General
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability, and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no assurance that ongoing and future developments will not adversely impact the Company.
The Company is also involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations, comprehensive income, financial position or cash flows.
10. Stockholders Equity
Under a Stockholder Rights Plan adopted by the Board of Directors on November 24, 2008, each share of common stock includes one right to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a
59
share (a Fractional Share) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a specific purchase price per Fractional Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The rights will cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire the Company without the approval of the Companys Board of Directors.

12. Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Awards
Stock Options
On September 19, 1997, the Company adopted the Dril-Quip, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (as amended, the 1997 Plan) and the Company reserved 3,400,000 shares of Common Stock for use in connection with the 1997 Plan. During 2001, the Company reserved an additional 1,400,000 shares for use in connection with the 1997 Plan. There are no options that remain outstanding under the 1997 Plan as the last grants were made in 2003. On May 13, 2004, the Companys stockholders approved the 2004 Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (as amended in 2012, the 2004 Plan), which reserved up to 2,696,294 shares of Common Stock to be used in connection with the 2004 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 1997 Plan and 2004 Plan are employees holding positions of responsibility with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors. Options granted under the 1997 Plan and the 2004 Plan have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-fourth of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.
The fair value of stock options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life is based on the Companys historical trends, and volatility is based on the historical volatility over the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date. The Company does not pay dividends and, therefore, there is no assumed dividend yield.
On October 28, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 213,000 shares, of Common Stock pursuant to the 2004 Plan to certain officers and employees. There were no stock options granted in 2012 or 2013. The following table presents the assumptions used in the option pricing model.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $10.7 million, $7.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The income tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no anti-dilutive stock option shares on December 31, 2013.
Stock-based compensation is recognized as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards totaled $3.4 million, $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Stock option expense for 2011 excludes $1.4 million of non-cash expense due to the vesting of Mr. J. Mike Walkers stock options as a result of his retirement. This expense for early vesting is included in Special items on the Consolidated Statements of Income and discussed in Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. No stock-based compensation expense was capitalized during 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Options granted to employees vest over four years and the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. At December 31, 2013, there was $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 1.2 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
On October 28, 2013 pursuant to the 2004 Plan, the Company awarded officers, directors and key employees restricted stock awards (RSA), which is an award of common stock subject to time vesting. In May 2012, the Board of Directors amended the 2004 Plan to include non-employee directors as eligible for restricted stock awards. RSAs issued under this plan are restricted as to transference, sale and other disposition. These RSAs vest ratably over a three year period. The RSAs may also vest in case of a change of control. Upon termination, whether voluntary or involuntary, the RSAs that have not vested will be returned to the Company resulting in stock forfeitures. The fair market value of the stock on the date of grant is amortized and charged to selling, general and administrative expense over the stipulated time period over which the RSAs vest on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures.

Restricted stock awards compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $3.9 million and $1.7 million for 2012 and $87,000 for 2011. For 2013, total income tax benefit recognized in net income for restricted stock awards was $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, there was $12.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.63 years. There were 11,923 anti-dilutive restricted shares on December 31, 2013.
Performance Unit Awards
On October 28, 2013, the Company awarded 31,707 performance unit awards (Performance Units) pursuant to the 2004 Plan to officers and key employees. The Performance Units were valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation at $138.31 which is approximately 118.4% of the grant share price. Under the plan, participants may earn from 0% to 200% of their target award based upon the Companys relative total share return (TSR) to the 15 component companies of the Philadelphia Oil Service Index (OSX index). The TSR is calculated over a three year period from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2016 and assumes reinvestment of dividends for companies within the index that pay dividends, which Dril-Quip does not. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation are as follows:

14. Special Items
On October 20, 2011, the Company announced that Mr. J. Mike Walker had stepped down from his positions as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of Mr. Walkers retirement, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. John V. Lovoi as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Blake T. DeBerry as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. James A. Gariepy as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective October 20, 2011. Mr. DeBerry was also appointed as member of the Board of Directors to replace Mr. Walker.
Under the circumstances of Mr. Walkers retirement, he was entitled to severance under his employment agreement with the Company. Pursuant to Mr. Walkers employment agreement, the Company was obligated to pay Mr. Walker, among other things, his base salary and his annual bonus through the remaining employment period (October 27, 2014). In addition, stock options owned by Mr. Walker that were outstanding at the date of the termination of his employment were immediately vested. Accordingly, the Company recognized a pre-tax
64
expense of $4.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. The amount includes base salary and bonus, including payroll taxes, which totaled $3.3 million is reflected in the accounts payable balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011. The acceleration of the vesting increased pre-tax non-cash expenses by $1.4 million.
15. Stock Repurchase Plan
On June 18, 2012, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan of up to $100 million of the Companys common stock. During October and November 2013, the Company repurchased 85,840 shares at a total cost of approximately $10.0 million. The repurchase plan has no expiration date and all shares purchased have been cancelled.
