Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “FET,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a global manufacturing company serving the oil, natural gas, industrial and renewable energy industries. With headquarters located in Houston, Texas, FET provides value added solutions that increase the safety and efficiency of energy exploration and production.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or any other interim period.
These interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.
Change of Segment
In the first quarter 2024, following the acquisition (the “Variperm Acquisition”) of Variperm Holdings Ltd. ("Variperm"), we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers and the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. FET now operates in the followingtwo reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Refer to Note 10 Business Segmentsfor the product lines making up each segment. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), which the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting (Topic 280). In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. This update is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes (Topic 740). In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which improves income tax disclosures. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. This update should be applied prospectively but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
- Revenue
Revenue is 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 receive in exchange for those goods or services. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies, refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Disaggregated Revenue
Refer to Note 10 Business Segmentsfor disaggregated revenue by product line and geography.
Contract Balances
Contract balances are determined on a contract by contract basis. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for goods and services provided to our customers when payment is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Similarly, the Company records a contract liability when we receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. Such contract liabilities typically result from billings in excess of costs incurred on construction contracts and advance payments received on product sales.
The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
| September 30, 2024 · December 31, 2023 · Increase / (Decrease) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ · % | ||||
| Accrued revenue | $1,250 | $1,801 | ||
| Costs and estimated profits in excess of billings | 16,438 | 13,365 | ||
| Contract assets - current | 17,688 | 15,166 | ||
| Contract assets - noncurrent | — | 1,828 | ||
| Contract assets | $17,688 | $16,994 | $694 | 4% |
| Deferred revenue | $9,147 | $10,551 | ||
| Billings in excess of costs and profits recognized | 4,748 | 4,221 | ||
| Contract liabilities | $13,895 | $14,772 | $(877) | (6)% |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our contract assets increased by $0.7 million and our contract liabilities decreased $0.9 million primarily due to the timing of milestone billings for projects in our Subsea product line. The noncurrent portion of contract assets is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $8.7 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period.
Substantially all of our contracts are less thanone year in duration. As such, we have elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if such obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
- Acquisition
On January 4, 2024, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Variperm in the Variperm Acquisition. Variperm, headquartered in Canada, is a manufacturer of downhole technology solutions, providing sand and flow control products for heavy oil applications.
Total consideration for the Variperm Acquisition included approximately $150.0 million of cash and 2.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In connection with the closing, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company borrowed $90.0 million under its senior secured asset-based lending facility (“Credit Facility”) on January 2, 2024 and entered into a $60.0 million second lien seller term loan credit agreement (“Seller Term Loan”) on January 4, 2024. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of working capital adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million. During the quarter, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation resulting in an adjustment to goodwill of $2.8 million. Adjustments primarily related to deferred income taxes.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized acquisition-related costs of $0.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for consulting fees and other costs expensed as transaction expenses. The acquisition of business on the statement of cash flow is presented net of the cash and cash equivalents acquired.
The following table summarizes the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The allocation of consideration transferred is based on management's estimates, judgments and assumptions. Management estimated that consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Therefore, goodwill of $66.8 million was recorded, most of which isnot expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has estimated the useful lives of customer relationships, backlog and trade names as approximately eight years, two years andeight years, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
| Cash and cash equivalents | $4,388 |
|---|---|
| Accounts receivable—trade | 24,036 |
| Inventories | 13,422 |
| Property and equipment | 26,213 |
| Intangible assets | 104,600 |
| Prepaid expenses and other assets | 3,718 |
| Total assets acquired | 176,377 |
| Current liabilities | 11,760 |
| Long-term liabilities | 32,379 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 44,139 |
| Total identifiable net assets acquired | 132,238 |
| Goodwill | 66,778 |
| Total purchase consideration | $199,016 |
The excess of the total equity value of Variperm based on the purchase consideration over net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to revenue synergies and assembled workforce expected to be realized from the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired as a result of the Variperm Acquisition are amortized on a straight-line basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are realized. Acquired goodwill and intangibles relate to our Downhole reporting unit and Downhole asset group.
The fair value for trade names were estimated using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or licenses fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The fair value of customer relationships and backlog were estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earning method model estimates revenues and cash flows derived from the asset and then deducts portions of the cash flow that can be attributed to supporting assets. The resulting cash flow, which is attributable solely to the asset acquired, is then discounted at a rate of return commensurate with the risk of the asset to calculate the present value.

2025 Notes
Our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (“2025 Notes”), of which $61.2 million principal amount was outstanding at September 30, 2024, pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. In January 2023, $122.8 million or 48% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes mandatorily converted into approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.
In June 2024, we repurchased $13.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $13.0 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $12.5 million, resulting in a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
In August 2024, we redeemed $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $60.0 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including amortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $58.2 million, resulting in a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Seller Term Loan
On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Seller Term Loan in connection with the closing of the Variperm Acquisition, which had an initial principal amount of $60.0 million and matures in December 2026. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of purchase price adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million. The Seller Term Loan bears interest at the rate of (i)11.00% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date to (but excluding) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii)17.00% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii)17.50% per annum for the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the maturity date. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty.
The Seller Term Loan requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing at the time excess availability is less than the greater of (x)12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million and continuing until excess availability exceeds the greater of (x)12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million for 60 consecutive days. “Line Cap” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Facility.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Seller Term Loan are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions pursuant to certain intercreditor arrangements.
The Seller Term Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness and bankruptcy-related defaults.
Credit Facility
Our Credit Facility matures on the earliest of (a) September 8, 2028, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of 2025 Notes (which will not apply if the 2025 Notes are repaid prior to such 91st day) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Seller Term Loan if the outstanding aggregate principal amount thereunder is equal to or greater than $30.0 million. The Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to$70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $50.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million.
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of September 30, 2024, our total borrowing base was $184.8 million, of which $109.0 million amount was drawn and $17.0 million was used as security for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $58.8 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the “prime rate” of interest announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our Canadian borrowers’ option, either (a) Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian Line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CORRA plus 1.00% per annum and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 8.37% and 8.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a)0.375% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b)0.500% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $31.25 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such threshold for 60 consecutive days.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the Canadian Line, our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions.
The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability (none of which are absolute) to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, pay dividends, make distributions or make other restricted payments, enter into mergers or acquisitions unless certain conditions are satisfied, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions or engage in certain asset dispositions.
If an event of default exists under the Credit Facility, the lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and exercise other rights and remedies. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, however, will be automatically accelerated upon an event of default arising from a bankruptcy or insolvency event. An event of default includes, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts within certain grace periods; representations and warranties proving to be untrue in any material respect; failure to perform or otherwise comply with covenants in the Credit Facility or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to grace periods; cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness if such default occurs at the final maturity of such indebtedness or if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency events; material monetary judgment defaults; invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Facility or any other loan document; and the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Facility).
In October 2024, we entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to our Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Credit Agreement will, upon satisfaction of conditions precedent specified therein, be modified to (i) permit the issuance of the 2029 Bonds (as defined below), (ii) permit, subject to specified conditions and up to specified amounts, redemption of the 2029 Bonds in certain circumstances and (iii) specify the extent to which collateral will be granted to secure Credit Agreement obligations by subsidiaries of Forum organized or domiciled under the laws of the United Kingdom, Germany or any territory or county thereof.
10.5% Senior Secured Bonds due 2029
On October 24, 2024, we priced an issuance (the “Offering”) of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% senior secured bonds due 2029 (the “2029 Bonds”). We expect to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full all outstanding 2025 Notes and to repay all borrowings outstanding under the Seller Term Loan. The Offering is expected to close on November 7, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
Other Debt
Other debt consists of various finance leases of equipment.
Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. The Company had $17.0 million and $20.3 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
- Income Taxes
For interim periods, our income tax expense or benefit is computed based on our estimated annual effective tax rate and any discrete items that impact the interim periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a tax expense of $4.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a tax expense of $1.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by losses in jurisdictions where the recording of a tax benefit is not available. Furthermore, the tax expense or benefit recorded can vary from period to period depending on the Company’s relative mix of earnings and losses by jurisdiction. Finally, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $1.5 million of noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits may occur by the end of 2024 as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted, or are expected to enact, legislation to be effective January 1, 2024 with general implementation of a global minimum tax by January 1, 2025. Based on current enacted legislation, we do not expect a material impact on our future effective tax rate.
We have deferred tax assets related to net operating loss and other tax carryforwards in the U.S. and in certain states and foreign jurisdictions. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including, but not limited to, our recent history of pretax losses over the prior three year period, the goodwill and intangible asset impairments for various reporting units, the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the projected future taxable income or loss and tax-planning. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve. As of September 30, 2024, we do not anticipate being able to fully utilize all of the losses prior to their expiration in the following jurisdictions: the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Singapore, China and Saudi Arabia. As a result, we have certain valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024.
- Fair Value Measurements
The Company had $109.0 million and $58.4 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and Seller Term Loan as of September 30, 2024. The Credit Facility incurs interest at a variable interest rate, and therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of the debt is classified as a Level 2 measurement because interest rates charged are similar to other financial instruments with similar terms and maturities.
The fair value of our 2025 Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. At September 30, 2024, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $60.4 million and $59.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our 2025 Notes approximated $130.9 million and $127.9 million, respectively.
There were no other significant outstanding financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that required measuring the amounts at fair value on a recurring basis. We did not change our valuation techniques associated with recurring fair value measurements from prior periods, and there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
- Business Segments
In the first quarter 2024, following the Variperm Acquisition, we aligned our reportable segments with business activity drivers and the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance. FET now operates in the followingtwo reportable segments: (1) Drilling and Completions and (2) Artificial Lift and Downhole. Our historical results of operations were recast retrospectively to reflect these changes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Drilling and Completions segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions to the drilling, subsea, coiled tubing, well stimulation and intervention markets, including applications in oil and natural gas, renewable energy, defense and communications. The Artificial Lift and Downhole segment designs, manufactures and supplies products and solutions for the artificial lift, production and infrastructure markets.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic units that offer distinct products and services. They are managed separately since each business segment requires different marketing strategies. Operating segments have not been aggregated as part of a reportable segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating income.

- Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, and in the future could be, involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, some of which may or may not be covered by insurance. Management has reviewed such pending judicial and legal proceedings, the reasonably anticipated costs and expenses in connection with such proceedings, and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, and has established reserves that are believed to be appropriate in light of those outcomes that are believed to be probable and can be estimated. The reserves accrued at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are immaterial. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
For further disclosure regarding certain litigation matters, refer to Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024.
- Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for each period presented was as follows (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 30, | |||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net income (loss) | $(14,815) | $7,969 | $(31,826) | $(2,096) |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | 12,330 | 10,235 | 12,287 | 10,208 |
| Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock | — | 158 | — | — |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | 12,330 | 10,393 | 12,287 | 10,208 |
| Earnings (loss) per share | ||||
| Basic | $(1.20) | $0.78 | $(2.59) | $(0.21) |
| Diluted | $(1.20) | $0.77 | $(2.59) | $(0.21) |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we excluded all potentially dilutive restricted shares and stock options in calculating diluted earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred for these periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded approximately 46 thousand shares that were anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share was calculated using treasury stock method for the restricted shares and stock options.
- Stockholders' Equity
Stock-based compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 86,391 performance restricted stock units (assuming target performance) to employees that vest based upon the Company's total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of a group of peer companies over three different performance periods. The performance periods run from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026, and 1/3 of each award is allocated to each performance period. The performance restricted stock units may settle for between 0% and 200% of the target units granted.
Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 20,000 time-based restricted stock units to employees that vest after 1 year, and granted 49,180 shares to non-employee members of the Board of Directors that vest after 1 year.
Reclassification of liability-classified awards
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 82,406 performance restricted stock units (assuming target performance) to employees with same terms as the performance restricted stock units above.
Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 168,797 time-based restricted stock units to employees that vest ratably over three years.
These performance and time-based restricted stock units were originally classified as cash-settled liability awards. On May 10, 2024, shareholders approved an additional 800,000 shares to be added to the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2016 Stock and Incentive Plan and the fair value of the awards was remeasured as of the same date. In connection with their remeasurement, the Company determined that the awards would be settled in shares instead of cash and they were classified as equity.
