In conjunction with RPC’s spin-off of its powerboat manufacturing business, RPC and Marine Products Corporation (Marine Products) entered into various agreements that define the companies’ relationship. Per the terms of their Transition Support Services agreement, which may be terminated by either party, RPC provides certain administrative services, including financial reporting and income tax administration, acquisition assistance, etc., to Marine Products. Charges from the Company (or from corporations that are subsidiaries of the Company) for such services were$1.0 million in 2023, $922 thousand in 2022, and $867 thousand in 2021.

All of the Company’s directors are also directors of Marine Products, and the executive officers are employees of both the Company and Marine Products.

Rollins, each of whom is a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of 50% of the Company’s voting power. RPC and Marine Products own 50%each of a limited liability company called 255 RC, LLC that was created for the joint purchase and ownership of a corporate aircraft. The purchase of the aircraft was completed in January 2015, and the purchase was funded primarily by a $2,554,000 contribution by each company to 255 RC, LLC. Each of RPC and Marine Products is currently a party to an operating lease agreement with 255 RC, LLC for a period offive years. RPC recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable share of fixed costs of $200 thousand in 2023, $200 thousand in 2022 and $200 thousand in 2021 for the corporate aircraft. The Company had a payable to 255 RC, LLC of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2023, and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method and its proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the investment closely approximates the underlying equity in the net assets of 255 RC, LLC and the undistributed earnings represented in retained earnings were approximately $639 thousand.

Note 18: Business Segment and Entity Wide Disclosures

RPC’s reportable segments are the same as its operating segments. RPC manages its business under Technical Services and Support Services. Technical Services is comprised of service lines that generate revenue based on equipment, personnel or materials at the well site and are closely aligned with completion and production activities of the customers. Support Services is comprised of service lines which generate revenue from services and equipment offered off the well site and are closely aligned with the customers’ drilling activities. Selected overhead including centralized support services and regulatory compliance are classified as Corporate.

Technical Services consists primarily of pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, cementing, snubbing, nitrogen, well control, wireline and fishing. The services offered under Technical Services are high capital and personnel intensive businesses. The Company considers all of these services to be closely integrated oil and gas well servicing businesses and makes resource allocation and performance assessment decisions based on this operating segment as a whole across these various services.

Support Services consist primarily of drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, pipe inspection and storage services, and oilfield training services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions regarding, among others, staffing, growth and maintenance capital expenditures and key initiatives based on the operating segments outlined above.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the note titled Significant Accounting Policies. RPC evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenues, operating profits and return on invested capital. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level. Inter-segment revenues are generally recorded in segment operating results at prices that management believes approximate prices for arm’s length transactions and are not material to operating results.

Summarized financial information concerning RPC’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the following table:

Note 19: Leases

The Company recognizes operating and finance leases with a duration greater than 12 months on the balance sheet with a Right-Of-Use (ROU) asset and liability at the present value of lease payments over the term. Leases that include rental escalation clauses or renewal options are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. There are no residual value guarantees on the existing leases. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate, at lease commencement, to determine the present value of lease payments, since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return. ROU assets exclude lessor incentives received.

The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. Our sublease portfolio consists solely of operating leases. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no operating leases that had not yet commenced. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into new leases or modified existing leases that resulted in an increase of ROU assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities as disclosed below.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company assumed certain leases as part of its acquisition of Spinnaker. The disclosures below include the information related to the leases after the acquisition. See note tilted Business Acquisition for further information related to those leases.
