Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness identified in internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K being inapplicable in the current period, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025 at ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We are in the process of integrating the KCA Deutag business into our internal control environment and expect to have this completed beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. As the integration progresses, we may modify or change certain processes and procedures which may result in changes to our internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
