NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

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

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of FINV for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 include the activities of Frank's International C.V. (“FICV”), Blackhawk Group Holdings, LLC (“Blackhawk”) and their wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

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

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported.

Our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 have been revised to decrease “cost of revenues, services” and increase “cost of revenues, products” by the following immaterial amounts in order to correct a misclassification associated with Blackhawk product costs. While the revisions do impact two financial statement line items, the revisions had no impact on our net income (loss), working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2017			September 30, 2017
Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization
Services, as previously reported	$	60,981		$	178,865
Blackhawk adjustment	(5,480		)	(16,364		)
Services, as revised	$	55,501		$	162,501

Products, as previously reported	$	10,750		$	45,162
Blackhawk adjustment	5,480			16,364
Products, as revised	$	16,230		$	61,526

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During 2018, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) changed the methodology used to allocate bonus and medical claims expenses among segments. Previously, all U.S. bonus and medical claims expenses were absorbed by our U.S. Services segment. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018 for bonus expenses and the second quarter of 2018 for medical claims expenses, a portion of these expenses attributable to Blackhawk employees were allocated to the Blackhawk segment. The change in the allocation of all U.S. bonus and medical claims expenses had no impact on our consolidated operating income (loss), net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, working capital, cash flows or total equity previously reported. However, segment operating income (loss) and segment adjusted EBITDA for the Blackhawk and U.S. Services segments were impacted. The Blackhawk segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was charged $1.6 million and $3.2 million , respectively, for bonus and medical claims expenses which would have previously been charged to the U.S. Services segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

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

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

In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for business combinations clarifying the definition of a business. The objective of the guidance is to help companies and other organizations which have acquired or sold a business to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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

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

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between previous GAAP and the new guidance is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and further defines a lease as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has both (1) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset and (2) the right to direct the use of the asset. The accounting guidance requires disclosures by both lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Further, in July 2018, the FASB amended the new lease accounting standard in an effort to reduce the burden of adoption. With the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, as amended, companies have the option of electing to apply the new lease accounting standard either on a retrospective or prospective basis. For public entities, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact the new accounting guidance for leases will have on our consolidated financial statements and plan to adopt the new lease accounting standard, as amended, on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2019. Additionally, we are implementing an enterprise-wide lease management system to assist in the accounting and are evaluating additional changes to our processes and internal controls to ensure we meet the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. While we are still evaluating its impact, we anticipate that the adoption of the lease accounting standard will have an impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheets and the disclosures contained in the notes of its consolidated financial statements. At the present time, we do not anticipate any changes to either the statement of operations or statement of cash flows from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

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

We adopted the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Our adjustment related solely to revenues from certain product sales with bill-and-hold arrangements in our Tubular Sales segment. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards which were in effect for those periods. The impact to revenue of applying the new revenue recognition standard for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was immaterial. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our financial results on an ongoing basis.

Note 2—Revenues

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Payment terms on services and products generally range from 30 days to 120 days. Given the short-term nature of our service and product offerings, our contracts do not have a significant financing component and the consideration we receive is generally fixed.

Service revenues are recognized over time as services are performed or rendered. We generally perform services either under direct service purchase orders or master service agreements which are supplemented by individual call-out provisions. For customers contracted under such arrangements, an accrual is recorded in unbilled revenue for revenue earned but not yet invoiced.

Revenues on product sales are generally recognized at a point in time when the product has shipped and significant risks of ownership have passed to the customer. The sales arrangements typically do not include a right of return or other similar provisions, nor do they contain any other post-delivery obligations.

Some of our Tubular Sales and Blackhawk segment customers have requested that we store pipe, connectors and other products purchased from us in our facilities. We recognize revenues for these “bill and hold” sales once the following criteria have been met: (1) there is a substantive reason for the arrangement, (2) the product is identified as the customer's asset, (3) the product is ready for delivery to the customer, and (4) we cannot use the product or direct it to another customer.

Practical Expedients

We elected to apply certain practical expedients available under the new revenue standard. We elected to expense cost of obtaining contracts, such as sales commissions, when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less due to the length of our contracts. We have also elected not to assess immaterial promises in the context of our contracts as performance obligations and to exclude taxes from the assessment of transaction price in arrangements where taxes are collected by the entity from a customer.

We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Because our contracts with customers are short-term in nature and fall within this exemption, we do not have significant unsatisfied performance obligations as defined by the new revenue standard.

Our derivative financial instruments consist of short-duration foreign currency forward contracts. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments is based on quoted market values including foreign exchange forward rates and interest rates. The fair value is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value. Derivative financial instruments are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

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

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

We apply the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to our non-recurring, non-financial measurements including business combinations and assets identified as held for sale, as well as impairment related to goodwill and other long-lived assets.

Other Fair Value Considerations

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

Note 10—Derivatives

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

We were a party to certain agreements relating to the rental of aircraft to Western Airways (“WA”), an entity owned by the Mosing family. The WA agreements reflected both dry lease and wet lease rentals, whereby we were charged a flat monthly fee primarily for crew, hangar, maintenance and administration costs in addition to other variable costs for fuel and maintenance. We also earned charter income from third party usage through a revenue sharing agreement. We recorded $0.4 million and $1.0 million of net charter expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. In March 2017, we sold a fully depreciated aircraft for a total sales price of $1.3 million and recorded a gain on sale of $1.3 million . In August 2017, we sold an additional aircraft for a net sales price of $4.9 million and recorded an immaterial loss. The rental agreements were terminated with WA effective December 29, 2017, upon the sale of our last aircraft.

Tax Receivable Agreement

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

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

The estimation of the liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2018 , FINV has a cumulative loss over the prior 36 -month period. Based on this history of losses, as well as uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of future taxable income, we are unable to conclude that there will be future cash savings that will lead to additional payouts under the TRA beyond the estimated $7.4 million as of September 30, 2018 . Additional TRA liability may be recognized in the future based on changes in expectations regarding the timing and likelihood of future cash savings.

The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and are not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless FINV elects to exercise its sole right to terminate the TRA early. If FINV elects to terminate the TRA early, which it may do so in its sole discretion, it would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the TRA (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the TRA, including the assumption that it has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any FICV interests that Mosing Holdings or its transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date). Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future benefits. In addition, payments due under the TRA will be similarly accelerated following certain mergers or other changes of control. In these situations, FINV’s obligations under the TRA could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control. For example, if the TRA were terminated on September 30, 2018 , the estimated termination payment would be approximately $55.7 million (calculated using a discount rate of 6.13% ). The foregoing number is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially.

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

Note 13—Income Taxes

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

Our effective tax rate was 51.6% and 97.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and 2.5% and 327.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The decrease in tax rates as compared to the same periods last year is primarily due to recording valuation allowances against deferred tax assets related to the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. In both periods we recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets accrued in that period. However, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 we also recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets that had been accrued for all periods prior to 2017. The recording of valuation allowances against the accumulated pre-2017 balances resulted in significantly higher tax expense in 2017.

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

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

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of September 30, 2018 , there were no significant changes to our unrecognized tax benefits as reported in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. We had no material accruals for loss contingencies, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . We believe the probability is remote that the ultimate outcome of these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

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

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

Note 15—Segment Information

Reporting Segments

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

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

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

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefit or expense, asset impairments, gain or loss on disposal of assets, foreign currency gain or loss, equity-based compensation, unrealized and realized gain or loss, the effects of the TRA, other non-cash adjustments and other charges. We review Adjusted EBITDA on both a consolidated basis and on a segment basis. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization), income tax, foreign currency exchange rates and other charges and credits. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

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

Note 16—Subsequent Events

New Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

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

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

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

FRANK’S INTERNATIONAL N.V.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Related Party Leases

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

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

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements include information regarding our future plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things:


•	our business strategy and prospects for growth;


•	our cash flows and liquidity;


•	our financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results;


•	the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures;


•	the availability and terms of capital;


•	competition and government regulations; and


•	general economic conditions.

Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other terms that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	the level of activity in the oil and gas industry;


•	renewed or sustained declines in oil and gas prices, including those resulting from weak global demand;


•	the timing, magnitude, probability and/or sustainability of any oil and gas price recovery;


•	unique risks associated with our offshore operations;


•	political, economic and regulatory uncertainties in our domestic and international operations;


•	our ability to develop new technologies and products;


•	our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;


•	our ability to employ and retain skilled and qualified workers;


•	the level of competition in our industry;


•	operational safety laws and regulations; and


•	weather conditions and natural disasters.

These and other important factors that could affect our operating results and performance are described in (1) “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item IA of this Form 10-Q, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, and elsewhere within this Form 10-Q, (2) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018 (our “Annual Report”), (3) our other reports and filings we make with the SEC from time to time and (4) other announcements we make from time to time. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in the documents above or in this Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section.

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

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

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

Our customers in these international markets are primarily large exploration and production companies, including integrated oil and gas companies and national oil and gas companies , and other oilfield services companies .


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

•

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


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

Market Outlook

We expect to see a continued increase in customer demand for our products and services over the remainder of 2018 based on current commodity price levels and anticipated capital spending on oil and natural gas exploration and production activities. However, much of the anticipated capital spending is likely to be associated with onshore or shallow water offshore projects that contribute lower revenue and margins to the Company than deep water offshore projects. The deep and ultra-deep offshore markets are showing signs of improvement, but are not projected to see significant increases in activity or pricing over the near term. In response, we are expanding our products and services historically weighted to the U.S. market, including specialty cementing equipment and drilling tool technologies, to select international markets, lowering costs through operational efficiency gains and prioritizing customers and projects intended to improve market share and profitability.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

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

Revenue

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

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

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

Safety and Quality Performance

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

⁽¹⁾	Our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 have been revised to decrease cost of revenues, services and increase cost of revenues, products by $5,480 and $16,364 , respectively. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

Revenues. Revenues from external customers, excluding intersegment sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $20.9 million , or 19.3% , to $129.0 million from $108.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The revenue increase was primarily attributable to our U.S. Services, Tubular Sales and Blackhawk segments . Revenues for our segments are discussed separately below under the heading “ Operating Segment Results. ”

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $13.4 million , or 18.7% , to $85.1 million from $71.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 driven by higher activity levels and mix of work in the U.S. Services and Blackhawk segments, partially offset by productivity actions taken in 2017 and 2018.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $2.4 million , or 6.1% , to $37.5 million from $40.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to lower professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $3.7 million , or 11.9% , to $27.0 million from $30.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , as a result of a lower depreciable base due to decreased capital expenditures during the current and prior years.

Severance and other charges (credits), net . Severance and other charges (credits), net improved from an expense of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to a gain of $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Severance and other charges (credits), net for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the recovery of accounts receivable previously written off in Angola.

Gain on disposal of assets . Gain on disposal of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $1.4 million to $2.2 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we sold buildings and recognized a gain of $2.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Foreign currency gain (loss) . Foreign currency loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $2.7 million to $0.9 million from a foreign currency gain of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The change in foreign currency results year-over-year was primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $95.1 million , or 108.5% , to $7.5 million from an income tax expense of $87.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The change is primarily due to recording valuation allowances. In both periods we recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets accrued in that period. However, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 we also recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets that had been accrued for all periods prior to 2017. The recording of valuation allowances against the accumulated pre-2017 balances resulted in significantly higher tax expense in 2017.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Revenues. Revenues from external customers, excluding intersegment sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $40.2 million , or 11.9% , to $376.6 million from $336.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . Revenues increased across all segments. Revenues for our segments are discussed separately below under the heading “ Operating Segment Results. ”

Cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $28.4 million , or 12.7% , to $252.4 million from $224.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The increase was driven by higher activity levels and mix of work in the U.S. Services and Blackhawk segments, partially offset by productivity actions taken in 2017 and 2018.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $8.5 million , or 6.8% , to $116.6 million from $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , primarily due to lower professional fees, as well as reduced expenses associated with aircraft sold in 2017.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $8.5 million , or 9.2% , to $84.2 million from $92.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , as a result of a lower depreciable base due to decreased capital expenditures during the current and prior years.

Severance and other charges (credits), net . Severance and other charges (credits), net improved from an expense of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to a gain of $2.5 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2018. Severance and other charges (credits), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the recovery of accounts receivable previously written off in Angola.

Foreign currency gain (loss) . Foreign currency loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.4 million as compared to a foreign currency gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $3.2 million . The change in foreign currency results year-over-year was primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax benefit of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $74.3 million from an income tax expense of $72.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The change is primarily due to recording valuation allowances. In both periods we recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets accrued in that period. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we also recorded valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets that had been accrued for all periods prior to 2017. The recording of valuation allowances against the accumulated pre-2017 balances resulted in significantly higher tax expense in 2017. In addition, we are subject to many U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions and many tax agreements and treaties among the various taxing authorities. Our operations in these jurisdictions are taxed on various bases such as income before taxes, deemed profits (which is generally determined using a percentage of revenues rather than profits) and withholding taxes based on revenues; consequently, the relationship between our pre-tax income from operations and our income tax provision varies from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Blackhawk segment was $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , an increase of $2.7 million , or 35.9% , compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2017 , primarily due to improved operational results, partially offset by higher corporate overhead expense driven by bonus and medical claims expense allocations. See Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At September 30, 2018 , we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $246.6 million and debt of $0.4 million . Our primary sources of liquidity to date have been cash flows from operations. Our primary uses of capital have been for organic growth capital expenditures. We continually monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, in order to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements.

Our total capital expenditures are estimated at $30.0 million for 2018 . We expect to spend approximately $22.0 million for the purchase and manufacture of equipment and $8.0 million for other property, plant and equipment, inclusive of the purchase or construction of facilities. The actual amount of capital expenditures for the manufacture of equipment may fluctuate based on market conditions and timing of deliveries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , cash expenditures related to property, plant and equipment and intangibles were $14.6 million and $18.6 million , respectively, all of which were funded from internally generated funds. We believe our cash on hand should be sufficient to fund our capital expenditure and liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2018 .

Credit Facilities

New Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

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

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

Citibank Credit Facility

Insurance Notes Payable

Tax Receivable Agreement

We entered into a tax receivable agreement with Frank's International C.V. (“FICV”) and Mosing Holdings, LLC (“Mosing Holdings”) in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”). The TRA generally provides for the payment by us to Mosing Holdings of 85% of the amount of the actual reductions, if any, in payments of U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax in periods after our IPO (which reductions we refer to as “cash savings”) as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the transfer of FICV interests to us in connection with the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock on August 26, 2016 and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments under the TRA. In addition, the TRA provides for interest earned from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return to the date of payment specified by the TRA. We will retain the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any. The payment obligations under the TRA are our obligations and not obligations of FICV. The term of the TRA continues until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA.

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

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

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

Operating Activities

Cash flow used in operating activities was $35.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $24.6 million for the same period in 2017 . The increase in cash flow used by operating activities of $60.0 million was primarily due to unfavorable changes in net accounts receivable. The cash flow provided by net accounts receivable in 2017 was primarily due to tax refunds.

Investing Activities

Cash flow used in investing activities was $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $57.2 million in the same period in 2017 . The decrease of $48.0 million was primarily related to a net increase in proceeds from investments of $50.2 million , partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of assets of $6.3 million .

Financing Activities

Cash flow used in financing activities was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $51.6 million in the same period in 2017 . The decrease in cash flow used in financing activities of $47.0 million was primarily due to lower dividend payments on common stock of $50.4 million , partially offset by an increase in repayments on borrowings of $4.1 million .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1—Basis of Presentation in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting standards we recently adopted or will be required to adopt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report. Except for the change below, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2017.

Based on the derivative contracts that were in place as of September 30, 2018, a simultaneous 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar, Euro, Norwegian krone, and Pound sterling would result in a $3.0 million decrease in the market value of our forward contracts. Please see Note 10—Derivatives in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018 at the reasonable assurance level.


(b)	Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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

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

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


•	incur debt or issue guarantees;


•	incur or permit certain liens to exist;


•	make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments;


•	dispose of assets;


•	engage in certain types of transactions with affiliates;


•	merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; and


•	prepay certain indebtedness.

Furthermore, the New ABL Credit Facility contains a covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 based on the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined therein) minus unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges (as defined therein) when availability under the New ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of (a) $12.5 million and (b) 15% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments. Accounts receivable received by FINV’s U.S. subsidiaries that are parties to the New ABL Credit Facility will be deposited into deposit accounts subject to deposit control agreements in favor of the ABL Agent. In the event FINV does not maintain the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio discussed above, these deposit accounts would be subject to “springing” cash dominion.

In addition, any borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be at variable rates of interest that expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed will remain the same, and our net income and cash flows will correspondingly decrease.

A failure to comply with the covenants in the agreement governing the New ABL Credit Facility could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would permit the exercise of remedies against us that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Remedies under the New ABL Credit Facility include foreclosure on the collateral securing the indebtedness and termination of the commitments under the New ABL Credit Facility, and any outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.

Item 5. Other Information

New Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility

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