NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 –Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Newpark Resources, Inc. is a geographically diversified supplier providing environmentally-sensitive products, as well as rentals and services to customers across multiple industries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newpark Resources, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and do not include all information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our fiscal year end is December 31, our second quarter represents the three month period ended June 30, and our first half represents the six month period ended June 30. The results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2024, our results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2024 and 2023, and our cash flows for the first half of 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Our balance sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, see Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We currently operate our business throughtwo reportable segments: Fluids Systems and Industrial Solutions.

•Our Fluids Systems segment provides drilling and completion fluids products and related technical services to customers for oil, natural gas, and geothermal projects primarily in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and North America, as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific.

Over the past few years, our primary focus within the Fluids Systems segment has been the transformation into a more agile and simplified business focused on key markets, while monetizing assets in underperforming or sub-scale markets and reducing our invested capital, particularly in the U.S. In 2023, we exited our stimulation chemicals product line, certain operations for offshore Australia, and our operations in Chile. In September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business. See Note 2 for additional information.

•Our Industrial Solutions segment provides temporary worksite access solutions, including the rental of our recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”), pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. We also sell our manufactured recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as well as other segment items, extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify the applicability to single reportable segment entities, permit more than one measure of profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. This guidance will be effective for us for the year ending December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will result in expanded reportable segment disclosures.

Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will impact our income tax disclosures.

Note 2 –Divestitures and Other Exit Activities

We regularly review our global portfolio of business activities, evaluating changes in the outlook for our served markets and customer priorities, while identifying opportunities for value-creating options in our portfolio. As part of these reviews, we have taken the following strategic actions.

Review of Strategic Alternatives for Fluids Systems Business

We initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the long-term positioning of the Fluids Systems business in June 2023, and in September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business as part of this strategic review. During the second quarter and first half of 2024, we incurred sale process-related costs of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

The ongoing Fluids Systems sale process did not meet the held for sale accounting criteria as of June 30, 2024, and as such, continued to be accounted for as held for use. As of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $210 million of net assets, including $31 million in cash, $12 million of debt, and $160 million of net working capital. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $63 million of accumulated translation losses, which would be reclassified as a charge to income upon a disposition or substantial liquidation of the associated entities.

Exit of Other Operations

In 2023, we made the decision to exit our offshore Australia operations, as well as our stimulation chemicals product line. The Fluids Systems segment operating results for the first half of 2024 includes $0.7 million of charges related to the substantial completion of the exit of our offshore Australia operations. In 2023, we also completed our customer contract in Chile and completed the substantial liquidation of our Chile subsidiary. The operating results for these now exited businesses were not material for 2024 or 2023.

Note 3 –Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for calculating net income per share:

We excluded the following weighted-average potential shares from the calculations of diluted net income per share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 4 –Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a securities repurchase program available for repurchases of our common stock. In February 2024, our Board of Directors replaced the prior program with a new repurchase program for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million.

Our repurchase program authorizes us to purchase outstanding shares of our common stock in the open market or as otherwise determined by management, subject to certain limitations under the Amended ABL Facility (as defined in Note 8) and other factors. The repurchase program has no specific term. Repurchases are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Facility. As part of the share repurchase program, our management has been authorized to establish trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of June 30, 2024, we had $50.0 million remaining under the program.

There wereno shares of common stock repurchased under the repurchase program during the first half of 2024. During the first half of 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of our common stock under the prior repurchase program for a total cost of $20.1 million.

Note 5 –Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation

During the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved equity-based compensation awards to executive officers and other key employees consisting of an aggregate of 0.7 million restricted stock units, which will vest in equal installments over athree-year period. In addition, non-employee directors received grants of an aggregate of 0.1 million restricted stock awards, which will vest in full on the earlier of the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value was $7.68 per share for the restricted stock units and $7.76 per share for the restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2024,2.6 million shares remained available for award under the 2015 Plan and 0.4 million shares remained available for award under the 2014 Director Plan.

Also during the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of performance-based cash awards to certain executive officers with an aggregate target value of $2.6 million. Of the $2.6 million, $1.8 million will be settled based on the relative ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of a designated peer group and $0.8 million will be settled based on the Company’s consolidated return on net capital employed (“RONCE”), each measured over athree-year performance period. The cash payout for each executive ranges from 0% to 200% of target. TSR performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s and peer group’s average closing share price for the 30 calendar day period ending May 31, 2027, adjusted for dividends, as compared to the 30 calendar day period ending May 31, 2024. RONCE performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s average three-year RONCE performance for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The performance-based cash awards are accrued as a liability award over the performance period based on the estimated fair value. The fair value of the TSR performance-based cash awards is remeasured each period using a Monte-Carlo valuation model with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6 –Receivables

Receivables consisted of the following:

Other receivables included $5.5 million and $3.6 million for value added, goods and service taxes related to foreign jurisdictions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Changes in our allowance for credit losses were as follows:

Note 7 –Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

Raw materials for the Fluids Systems segment consist primarily of chemicals and other additives that are consumed in the production of our fluids systems. Raw materials for the Industrial Solutions segment consist primarily of resins and other materials used to manufacture composite mats, as well as materials that are consumed in providing spill containment and other services to our customers. Our blended fluids systems components consist of base fluids systems that have been either mixed internally at our blending facilities or purchased from third-party vendors. These base fluids systems require raw materials to be added, as needed to meet specified customer requirements.

Note 8 –Financing Arrangements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financing arrangements consisted of the following:

Asset-Based Loan Facility. In October 2017, we entered into a U.S. asset-based revolving credit agreement, which was amended in March 2019 and amended and restated in May 2022 (the “Amended ABL Facility”). The Amended ABL Facility provides financing of up to $175.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit), which can be increased up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Amended ABL Facility has afive-year term expiring May 2027, is based on a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) pricing grid, and includes a mechanism to incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing framework with the consent of the required lenders (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility).

As of June 30, 2024, our total availability under the Amended ABL Facility was $110.4 million, of which $32.0 million was drawn and $4.0 million was used for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $74.4 million.

Borrowing availability under the Amended ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible U.S. accounts receivable, inventory and composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and subject to limits on certain of the assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by the borrowers, the borrowing base calculation also includes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The administrative agent may establish reserves in accordance with the Amended ABL Facility, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits in its discretion, which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the Amended ABL Facility.

Under the terms of the Amended ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate based on either, (1) the BSBY rate (subject to a floor of zero) or (2) the base rate (subject to a floor of zero), equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) BSBY for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum for BSBY borrowings, and 0.50% to 1.00% per annum for base rate borrowings, based on the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter. We are also required to pay a commitment fee equal to (i)0.375% per annum at any time the average daily unused portion of the commitments is greater than 50% and (ii)0.25% per annum at any time the average daily unused portion of the commitments is less than 50%.

As of June 30, 2024, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility was 1.50% with respect to BSBY borrowings and 0.50% with respect to base rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for the Amended ABL Facility was 6.9% and the applicable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended ABL Facility was 0.375% per annum.

The Amended ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation of the Company and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries constituting borrowers thereunder, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the personal property and certain real property of the borrowers, including a first priority lien on certain equity interests of direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries of the borrowers and certain equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries of the borrowers.

The Amended ABL Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants that, among other things, and subject to certain specified circumstances and exceptions, restrict or limit the ability of the borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, pay dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock and make other restricted payments, make prepayments on certain indebtedness, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, dispose of property, and change the nature of their business.

The Amended ABL Facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters and (ii) while a leverage covenant trigger period (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility) is in effect, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.

The Amended ABL Facility includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control.

Other Financing Arrangements. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit or overdraft facilities which are generally renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. In addition, in April 2022, a U.K. subsidiary entered a £7.0 million term loan and a £2.0 million revolving credit facility. Both the term loan and revolving credit facility mature in April 2025 and bear interest at a rate of Sterling Overnight Index Average plus a margin of 3.25% per year. As of June 30, 2024, the interest rate for the U.K. facilities was 8.5%. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments of £350,000 plus interest beginning June 2022 and a £2.8 million payment due at maturity. We also maintain finance leases primarily related to transportation equipment. During the first half of 2024, we entered into $4.0 million of new finance lease liabilities in exchange for leased assets.

In addition, at June 30, 2024, we had $38.4 million in outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and other guarantees for which certain of the letters of credit are collateralized by $0.4 million in restricted cash, the majority of which relates to the Fluids Systems segment.

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt. We believe the carrying values of these instruments approximated their fair values at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 9 –Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6.2 million for the first half of 2024, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29%, compared to income taxes of $4.2 million for the first half of 2023, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37%. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2024 and 2023 primarily reflects income taxes associated with our international operations, as the tax provision associated with U.S. income is largely offset by the partial valuation allowance release associated with previously unbenefited U.S. net operating losses.

Note 10 –Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions, as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state, and local levels. While the outcome of litigation or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that any loss resulting from such litigation or other proceedings, in excess of any amounts accrued or covered by insurance, will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The first half of 2024 includes a $0.9 million gain related to the final insurance settlement associated with Hurricane Ida in August 2021, as well as a $0.6 million gain related to a legal settlement.
