Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

We provide a suite of hospitality services for our guests in the natural resources industry, including lodging, catering and food service, housekeeping and maintenance at accommodation facilities that we or our customers own. In many cases, we provide services that support the day-to-day operations of these facilities, such as laundry, facility management and maintenance, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, communication systems, security and logistics. We also manage development activities for workforce accommodation facilities, including site selection, permitting, engineering and design, manufacturing management and site construction, along with providing hospitality services once the facility is constructed. We primarily operate in some of the world’s most active oil, metallurgical (met) coal, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and iron ore producing regions, and our customers include major and independent oil companies, mining companies, engineering companies and oilfield and mining service companies. We operate intwo principal reportable business segments – Canada and Australia.

Basis of Presentation

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates: (i) all references in these consolidated financial statements to “Civeo,” “us,” “our” or “we” refer to Civeo Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries; and (ii) all references in this report to “dollars” or “$” are to U.S. dollars.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through the sale of our products and services. We maintain allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If a trade receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, such receivable is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses account. Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. If we have no previous experience with the customer, we typically obtain reports from various credit organizations to ensure that the customer has a history of paying its creditors. We may also request financial information, including combined financial statements or other documents, to ensure that the customer has the means of making payment. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, we generally would require a prepayment or other arrangement to support revenue recognition and recording of a trade receivable. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials and supplies and materials for the operation of remote accommodation facilities. Inventories also include food, raw materials, labor, subcontractor charges and catering and other supplies needed for operation of our facilities. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined on an average cost or specific-identification method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at estimated fair market value at acquisition date if acquired in a business combination, and depreciation is computed, for assets owned or recorded under capital lease, using the straight-line method, after allowing for salvage value where applicable, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

We record the fair value of a liability, which reflects the estimated present value of the amount of asset removal and site reclamation costs related to the retirement of our assets, for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) when it is incurred (typically when the asset is installed). When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property, plant and equipment. See Asset Retirement Obligations below for further discussion.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Business Combinations

We evaluate acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination by assessing whether or not we have acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs. If determined to be a business combination, we account for a business acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. The accounting rules governing business combinations require the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and establish the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on the fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets, including intangible assets, acquired.

The fair value measurement of the identified net assets requires the significant use of estimates and is based on information that was available to management at the time the purchase price allocation was prepared. We utilize recognized valuation techniques, including the cost approach, the market approach and the income approach, to value the net assets acquired. The impact of changes to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Final valuations of assets and liabilities are obtained and recorded within one year from the date of the acquisition.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, is assessed whenever, in management’s judgment, events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such asset groups may not be recoverable based on estimated future cash flows. If this assessment indicates that the carrying values will not be recoverable, as determined based on undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful lives, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss equals the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset group.

In performing this analysis, asset groups are reviewed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. For each asset group, we compare its carrying value to estimates of undiscounted future cash flows. We use a variety of underlying assumptions to estimate these future cash flows, including assumptions relating to future economic market conditions, rates, occupancy levels, costs and expenses and capital expenditures. The estimates are consistent with those used for purposes of our goodwill impairment test, as further discussed in Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, below. Based on the assessment, if the carrying values of certain of our asset groups are determined to not be recoverable, we proceed to the next step. In this step, we compare the fair value of the respective asset group to its carrying value. The fair value of the asset groups are based on prices of similar assets, if available, or discounted future cash flows. Our estimate of the fair value requires us to use significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances, such as industry and/or local market conditions that might directly impact each of the asset groups’ operations in the future.

See Note 4 – Impairment Charges for a discussion of impairment charges we recognized in 2023, 2022 and 2021 related to our long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for acquired businesses over the allocated fair value of the related net assets after impairments, if applicable. All of our goodwill as of December 31, 2023 was included in our Australia reporting unit.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment, at the reporting unit level, annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business one level below that operating segment (the “component” level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at the component level. Each segment of our business represents a separate reporting unit.

We conduct our annual impairment test as of November 30 of each year. We compare each reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is impaired.

We are given the option to test for impairment of our goodwill by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. In developing a qualitative assessment to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, each reporting unit with goodwill is assessed separately and different relevant events and circumstances are evaluated for each unit. We have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

When performing our annual assessment on November 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we performed a qualitative assessment related to goodwill at our Australia reporting unit. Qualitative factors that we considered as part of our assessment included industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions and the financial performance of our Australian business. We also noted that, based on the interim quantitative testing performed as of March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Australia reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by more than 125%. After assessing these events and circumstances, we determined that, as of November 30, 2023, it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Australia reporting unit was greater than its carrying value.

In performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare each reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Because none of our reporting units has a publicly quoted market price, we must determine the value that willing buyers and sellers would place on the reporting unit through a routine sale process (a Level 3 fair value measurement). In our analysis, we target a fair value that represents the value that would be placed on the reporting unit by market participants, and value the reporting unit based on historical and projected results throughout a cycle, not the value of the reporting unit based on trough or peak earnings. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of (i) an analysis of trading multiples of comparable companies (Market Approach) and (ii) discounted projected cash flows (Income Approach). The relative weighting of each approach reflects current industry and market conditions.

Market Approach - This valuation approach utilizes publicly traded comparable companies’ enterprise values, as compared to their recent and forecasted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) information. We use EBITDA because it is a widely used key indicator of the cash generating capacity of companies in our industry.

Income Approach - This valuation approach derives a present value of the reporting unit’s projected future annual cash flows over the next five years with a terminal value assumption. We use a variety of underlying assumptions to estimate these future cash flows, including assumptions relating to future economic market conditions, rates, occupancy levels, costs and expenses and capital expenditures. These assumptions can vary by each reporting unit depending on market conditions. In addition, a terminal value is estimated, using a Gordon Growth methodology. We discount our projected cash flows using a long-term weighted average cost of capital based on our estimate of investment returns that would be required by a market participant.

The fair value of our reporting units is affected by future oil, coal and natural gas prices, anticipated spending by our customers, and the cost of capital. Our estimate of fair value requires us to use significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances, such as industry and/or local market conditions that might directly impact each of the reporting units’ operations in the future. We selected these valuation approaches because we believe the combination of these approaches and our best judgment regarding underlying assumptions and estimates provides us with the best estimate of fair value for each of our reporting units. We believe these valuation approaches are proven valuation techniques and methodologies for our industry and widely accepted by investors. The fair value of each reporting unit would change if our assumptions under these valuation approaches, or relative weighting of the valuation approaches, were materially modified.

Other Intangible Assets. We amortize the cost of other intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. For intangible assets that we amortize, we review the useful life of the intangible asset and evaluate each reporting period whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life.

See Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further information.

Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive Income

Gains and losses resulting from consolidated balance sheet translation of foreign operations where a foreign currency is the functional currency are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity and represent substantially all of the balances within accumulated other comprehensive income. Remeasurements of intercompany loans denominated in a different currency than the functional currency of the entity that are of a long-term investment nature are recognized as other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from consolidated balance sheet remeasurements of assets and liabilities denominated in a different currency than the functional currency, other than intercompany loans that are of a long-term investment nature, are included in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we recognized approximately $0.5 million, $0.1 million and $0.3 million in foreign currency losses, respectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of revenues, earnings and net investments in foreign affiliates are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to manage our foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing expected local currency revenues in relation to local currency costs and local currency assets in relation to local currency liabilities. We have not entered into any foreign currency forward contracts.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

For the majority of our operations and contracts, we generally recognize accommodation, mobile facility rental, food service and other services revenues over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume benefits as we serve our customers because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. 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 in exchange for those goods or services. We transfer control and recognize a sale based on a periodic (usually daily) room rate each night a customer stays in our rooms or when the services are rendered. In some contracts, rates may vary over the contract term. In these cases, revenue may be deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.

Because of control transferring over time, the majority of our revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer our customers a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. Our customers typically contract for hospitality services under take-or-pay contracts with terms that range from several months to multiple years. Our contract terms generally provide for a rental rate for a reserved room and an occupied room rate that compensates us for services provided. We typically contract our facilities to our customers on a fee per day basis where the goods and services promised include lodging and meals. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the goods and services promised in the context of the contract and the pattern of transfer to our customers.

Revenues exclude taxes assessed based on revenues such as sales or value added taxes.

Cost of services includes labor, food, utility costs, cleaning supplies and other costs of operating our accommodations facilities. Cost of goods sold includes all direct material and labor costs and those costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

Our operations are subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes, as well as foreign income taxes. We determine the provision for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred income taxes represent the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates and historical losses.

We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. See Note 14 – Income Taxes for further information.

Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk

Based on the nature of our customer base, we do not believe that we have any significant concentrations of credit risk other than our concentration in the Canadian oil sands and Australian mining industries. We evaluate the credit-worthiness of our significant, new and existing customers’ financial condition and, generally, we do not require collateral from our customers. For the year ended December 31, 2023, each of Suncor Energy and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2022, each of Suncor Energy, Imperial Oil and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2021, each of Suncor Energy, Imperial Oil and Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. accounted for more than 10% of our revenues.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have AROs that we are required to perform under law or contract once an asset is permanently taken out of service. We initially record the liability at fair value, which reflects the estimated present value of the amount of asset removal and site reclamation costs related to the retirement of our assets, for an ARO when it is incurred (typically when the asset is installed). When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property, plant and equipment. Over time, the liability increases for the change in its present value, while the capitalized cost depreciates over the useful life of the related asset. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated ARO changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the ARO and the capitalized asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from changes in estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs and changes in the estimated timing of settling the ARO. We utilize current retirement costs to estimate the expected cash outflows for retirement obligations. We estimate the ultimate productive life of the properties and a risk-adjusted discount rate in order to determine the current present value of the obligation.

We relieve ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled. Most of these obligations are not expected to be paid until many years in the future and will be funded from general company resources at the time of removal. See Note 12 – Asset Retirement Obligations for further discussion.

Share-Based Compensation

We sponsor an equity participation plan in which certain of our key employees and non-employee directors participate. We measure the cost of service-based equity awards (typically restricted share awards and deferred share awards) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The grant-date fair value is calculated based on our share price on the grant-date. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or non-employee director is required to provide service in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period.

We also grant performance share awards. For awards granted in 2023 and 2022, awards are earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based on (i) the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) rank among a peer group of other companies and (ii) the payout percentage associated with Civeo's cumulative operating cash flow over the performance period relative to a preset target. Awards granted in 2021 are earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based on (i) the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s relative TSR rank among a peer group of other companies and (ii) the payout percentage associated with Civeo's cumulative free cash flow over the performance period relative to a preset target. The fair value of the TSR portion of each performance share is estimated using option-pricing models at the grant date. The fair value of the operating cash flow and free cash flow portion of each performance share is based on the closing market price of our common shares on the date of grant and adjusted throughout the performance period based on our estimate of the most probable outcome of such performance conditions. The resulting costs for each portion of the award are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period.

Additionally, we grant phantom share units. All of the awards vest in equal annual installments and are accounted for as a liability based on the fair value of our share price. Participants granted phantom share units are entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to the fair market value of a common share on the vesting date. The resulting cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the awards, usually the vesting period.

Guarantees

Substantially all of our Canadian and United States (U.S.) subsidiaries are guarantors under our Credit Agreement. See Note 11 – Debt for further discussion.

During the ordinary course of business, we also provide standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties as required for certain transactions initiated by us or our subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023, the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these guarantee agreements (including letters of credit) was approximately $1.9 million. We have not recorded any liability in connection with these guarantee arrangements. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is likely that any amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee arrangements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Examples of a few such estimates include estimates of the amount and timing of costs to be incurred for AROs, any valuation allowance recorded on net deferred tax assets, long-lived asset and goodwill impairments and allowance for credit losses. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Accounting for Contingencies

We have contingent liabilities and future claims for which we have made estimates of the amount of the eventual cost to liquidate these liabilities or claims. We make an assessment of our exposure and record a provision in our accounts to cover an expected loss when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities and claims sometimes involve threatened or actual litigation where damages have been quantified. Other claims or liabilities have been estimated based on their fair value or our experience in these matters and, when appropriate, the advice of outside counsel or other outside experts. Upon the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties, our future reported financial results will be impacted by the difference between our estimates and the actual amounts paid to settle a liability. Examples of areas where we have made important estimates of future liabilities include litigation, insurance claims, contract claims and obligations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards or other guidance updates, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which enhances effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure requirements and provides clarity to the disclosures of income taxes paid, income before taxes and provision for income taxes. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

  1. REVENUE

The following table disaggregates our revenue by ourtwo reportable segments (Canada and Australia) into major categories for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Total revenues$700,805$697,052$594,463

Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when our performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. Payment terms are generally within 30 days and in most cases do not extend beyond 60 days. We do not have significant financing components or significant payment terms.

As of December 31, 2023, for contracts that are greater than one year, the table below discloses the estimated revenues related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) and when we expect to recognize the revenue. The table only includes revenue expected to be recognized from contracts where the quantity of service is certain (in thousands):

Revenue expected to be recognized as of December 31, 2023$166,047$126,082$95,196$295,371$682,696

We applied the practical expedient and do not disclose consideration for remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. In addition, we do not estimate revenues expected to be recognized related to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts without minimum room commitments. The table above represents only a portion of our expected future consolidated revenues and it is not necessarily indicative of the expected trend in total revenues.

  1. IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

2023 Impairment Charges

The following summarizes pre-tax impairment charges recorded during 2023, which are included in Impairment expense in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

U.S.Total
Long-lived assets$1,395$1,395
Total$1,395$1,395

Quarter ended December 31, 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded impairment expense of $1.4 million, related to land located in our U.S. market. The land was written down to its estimated fair value (less costs to sell) of $5.9 million.

2022 Impairment Charges

The following summarizes pre-tax impairment charges recorded during 2022, which are included in Impairment expense in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

AustraliaU.S.Total
Long-lived assets$3,808$1,913$5,721
Total$3,808$1,913$5,721

Quarter ended December 31, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded impairment expense of $3.8 million, related to fixed assets in a village located in Western Australia. At December 31, 2022, we identified an impairment trigger due to an expiring contract that was not renewed. Accordingly, the assets were written down to their estimated fair value of $1.8 million. In addition, we recorded impairment expense of $1.9 million, related to fixed assets in a lodge located in our U.S. market. The lodge was written down to its estimated fair value (less costs to sell) of $7.7 million.

2021 Impairment Charges

The following summarizes pre-tax impairment charges recorded during 2021, which are included in Impairment expense in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

AustraliaTotal
Long-lived assets$7,935$7,935
Total$7,935$7,935

Quarter ended June 30, 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded impairment expense of $7.9 million related to various undeveloped land positions and related permitting costs in Australia. At June 30, 2021, we identified an impairment trigger related to certain of these properties due to the cancellation of a significant thermal coal project in Australia and our negative expectations related to other possible Australian thermal coal projects becoming viable in the near term. Accordingly, the assets were written down to their estimated fair value of $2.4 million.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and debt instruments. We believe that the carrying values of these instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we believe the carrying value of our floating-rate debt outstanding under our term loans and revolving credit facilities approximates fair value because the terms include short-term interest rates and exclude penalties for prepayment. We estimated the fair value of our floating-rate term loan and revolving credit facilities using significant other observable inputs, representative of a Level 2 fair value measurement, including terms and credit spreads for these loans. In addition, the estimated fair value of our assets held for sale is based upon Level 2 fair value measurements, which include appraisals, broker price opinions and previous negotiations with third parties.

During the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022 and the second quarter of 2021, we wrote down certain long-lived assets to fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, our estimate of fair value of a property in the U.S. was based on broker price opinions or appraisals from third parties, which referenced available market information, such as listing agreements, offers, and pending and closed sales. During the second quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2022, our estimate of fair value in Australia for assets that were impaired was based on appraisals from third parties.

See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further discussion of the significant judgments and assumptions used in calculating their fair value.

  1. EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we calculated our basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, before allocation of earnings to participating earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For diluted earnings per share, the basic shares outstanding are adjusted by adding all potentially dilutive securities.

For the years ended December 31 2022 and 2021, a period during which we had participating securities in the form of Class A preferred shares, we used the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class method requires a proportional share of net income to be allocated between common shares and participating securities. The proportional share to be allocated to participating securities is determined by dividing total weighted average participating securities by the sum of total weighted average common shares and participating securities.

Basic earnings per share is computed under the two-class method by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after allocation of earnings to participating earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income attributable to common shareholders, after allocation of earnings to participating earnings represents our net income reduced by an allocation of current period earnings to participating securities as described above. No such adjustment is made during periods with a net loss, as the adjustment would be anti-dilutive.

Diluted earnings per share is computed under the two-class method by dividing diluted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, after reallocation adjustment for participating securities by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the potential dilutive effects of share-based awards. In addition, we calculate the potential dilutive effect of any outstanding dilutive security under both the two-class method and the “if-converted” method, and we report the more dilutive of the methods as our diluted earnings per share. We also apply the treasury stock method with respect to certain share-based awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, if dilutive.

On October 30, 2022, we repurchased 3,617 Series A preferred shares from the holders for approximately $30.6 million. The repurchase premium of $5.2 million was treated as a reduction to the numerator of net income (loss) attributable to Civeo common shareholders utilized in the calculation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The calculation of earnings per share attributable to Civeo common shareholders is presented below for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

  1. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As of December 31, 2023, assets held for sale included certain assets in the U.S. These assets were recorded at the estimated fair value less costs to sell, which exceeded or equaled their carry values. During the first quarter of 2023, we sold the accommodation assets in Louisiana. The land at this location remains in assets held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

During the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our McClelland Lake Lodge assets for approximately C$49 million, or US$36 million. The related assets had no remaining carrying value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $14.2 million in demobilization costs and received $28.2 million in cash proceeds associated with the sale. We expect to recognize the remaining demobilization costs and the proceeds of the sale in the first quarter of 2024.

Credit Agreement

As of December 31, 2023, our Credit Agreement (as then amended to date, the Credit Agreement) provided for: (i) a $200.0 million revolving credit facility scheduled to mature on September 8, 2025, allocated as follows: (A) a $10.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of one of our U.S. subsidiaries, as borrower; (B) a $155.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of Civeo, as borrower; and (C) a $35.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility in favor of one of our Australian subsidiaries, as borrower; and (ii) a C$100.0 million term loan facility, which was fully repaid, on December 31, 2023 in favor of Civeo.

The Credit Agreement was amended effective March 31, 2023 to, among other things, change the benchmark interest rate for certain U.S. dollar-denominated loans in each of the Australian Revolving Facility, Canadian Revolving Facility, and U.S. Revolving Facility from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

U.S. dollar amounts outstanding under the facilities provided by the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Term SOFR plus a margin of 3.00% to 4.00%, or a base rate plus 2.00% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our total net debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Canadian dollar amounts outstanding bear interest at a variable rate equal to a Bankers’ Acceptance Discount Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) based on the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) plus a margin of 3.00% to 4.00%, or a Canadian Prime rate plus a margin of 2.00% to 3.00%, in each case based on a ratio of our total net debt to Consolidated EBITDA. Australian dollar amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate plus a margin of 3.00% to 4.00%, based on a ratio of our total net debt to Consolidated EBITDA. The future transition from CDOR as an interest rate benchmark is addressed in the Credit Agreement and at such time the transition from CDOR takes place, an alternate benchmark will be established based on the first alternative of the following, plus a benchmark replacement adjustment, Term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) and Compound CORRA.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict: (i) indebtedness, liens and fundamental changes; (ii) asset sales; (iii) specified acquisitions; (iv) certain restrictive agreements; (v) transactions with affiliates; and (vi) investments and other restricted payments, including dividends and other distributions. In addition, we must maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of at least 3.00 to 1.00 and a maximum net leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total net debt to Consolidated EBITDA, of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. Following a qualified offering of indebtedness, we will be required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of no greater than 3.50 to 1.00 and a maximum senior secured ratio less than 2.00 to 1.00. Each of the factors considered in the calculations of these ratios are defined in the Credit Agreement. EBITDA and consolidated interest, as defined, exclude goodwill and asset impairments, debt discount amortization, amortization of intangibles and other non-cash charges. We were in compliance with our covenants as of December 31, 2023.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our significant subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023, we hadseven lenders that were parties to the Credit Agreement, with total revolving commitments ranging from $16.1 million to $37.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit of $0.3 million under the U.S. facility, zero under the Australian facility and $1.1 million under the Canadian facility. We also had outstanding bank guarantees of A$0.8 million under the Australian facility.

  1. RETIREMENT PLANS

We sponsor various defined contribution plans. Participation in these plans is available to substantially all employees. A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will generally have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. We recognized expense of $10.2 million, $8.2 million and $7.6 million related to matching contributions under our various defined contribution plans during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Canadian Retirement Savings Plan

We offer a defined contribution retirement plan to our Canadian employees. In Canada, we contribute, on a matched basis, an amount up to 5% of each Canadian based, salaried employee’s earnings (base salary plus annual incentive compensation) to the legislated maximum for a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP). The maximum for 2023 was C$15,780. DPSP is a form of defined contribution retirement savings plan governed by Canadian federal tax legislation which provides for the deferral of tax on deposits and investment returns until removed from the plan to support retirement income. Employer contributions vest upon the completion oftwo years of service. Employee contributions are required in order to be eligible for the DPSP employer matching. Maximum employer matching (5% noted above) is attained with 6% employee contribution which would go into a Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan. The two plans work in tandem. Contributions to the “Retirement Savings Plan” for Canadian employees are subject to the annual maximum total registered savings limit of C$30,780 in 2023 as set out in the Canadian Tax Act.

Australian Retirement Savings Plan

Our Australian subsidiary contributes to various defined contribution plans for its employees in accordance with legislation governing the calculation of the Superannuation Guarantee Surcharge (SGC). SGC is contributed by the employer at a rate of 10.5% of the base salary of an employee, capped at the legislated maximum contribution base which is indexed annually.

Our Australian subsidiary makes no investment decisions on behalf of the employee and has no obligations other than to remit the defined contributions to the plan selected by each individual employee.

U.S. Retirement Savings Plan

We offer a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan to substantially all of our U.S. employees. Participants may contribute from 1% to 75% of their base and cash incentive compensation (subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations), and we make matching contributions under this plan on the first 6% of the participant’s compensation (100% match of the first 4% employee contribution and 50% match on the next 2% contribution). Our matching contributions vest at a rate of 40% aftertwo years of service and 20% per year for each of the employee’s next three years of service and are fully vested thereafter.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s operations are conducted through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. The Company has provided for income taxes based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that would be subject to income tax upon distribution to Canada from a foreign subsidiary. As such, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not provide for deferred taxes on any such earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.

Change in Valuation Allowance. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to generate taxable income of the appropriate character in the future.

Changes in our valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2023, management determined that there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Canadian and U.S. net deferred tax assets are realizable, therefore we have maintained the valuation allowance in both of these jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2023, management determined that there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Australia deferred tax assets related to certain capital assets are realizable, therefore we have maintained a partial valuation allowance in Australia.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits. We file tax returns in the jurisdictions in which they are required. All of these returns are subject to examination or audit and possible adjustment as a result of assessments by taxing authorities. We believe that we have recorded sufficient tax liabilities and do not expect the resolution of any examination or audit of our tax returns to have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition or liquidity.

Our Canadian federal tax returns subsequent to 2018 are subject to audit by the Canada Revenue Agency. Our Australian subsidiary’s federal income tax returns subsequent to 2018 are open for review by the Australian Taxation Office. Our U.S. subsidiary’s federal tax returns subsequent to 2019 are subject to audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 waszero. Unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We accrue interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we had accrued zero of interest expense and penalties.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning our commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including warranty and product liability claims as a result of our products or operations. Although we can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on us, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

  1. PREFERRED SHARES

On April 2, 2018, we issued 9,679 Series A preferred shares as part of the acquisition of Noralta Lodge Ltd. (Noralta Acquisition). The Series A preferred shares had an initial liquidation preference of $10,000 per share. Holders of the Series A preferred shares were entitled to receive a 2% annual dividend on the liquidation preference paid quarterly in cash or, at our option, by increasing the Series A preferred shares’ liquidation preference or any combination thereof. During the fourth quarter of 2018,637 Series A preferred shares initially held in escrow to support certain obligations of the Noralta Acquisition were released. On October 30, 2022,3,617 Series A preferred shares were repurchased from the holders for approximately $30.6 million, which included accrued dividends of under $0.1 million. On December 13, 2022, the holders of the Series A preferred shares elected to convert the remaining 5,425 Series A preferred shares outstanding into 1,504,539 common shares. As of December 31, 2022, we hadno Series A preferred shares outstanding.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized preferred dividends on the Series A preferred shares as follows (in thousands):

20222021
In-kind dividends$1,706$1,925
Cash dividend on repurchased preferred shares65—
Total preferred dividends$1,771$1,925

The Board of Directors (Board) elected to pay the dividends beginning June 30, 2018 through December 12, 2022 through an increase in the liquidation preference rather than in cash. The paid-in-kind dividend of $1.7 million and $1.9 million is included in Preferred dividends on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

  1. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS AND DIVIDENDS

Share Repurchase Programs

In August 2023, 2022 and 2021, our Board authorized common share repurchase programs to repurchase up to 5.0% of our total common shares which were issued and outstanding, or approximately 742,000,685,000 and 715,000 common shares, respectively, over atwelve month period.

The repurchase authorization allows repurchases from time to time in open market transactions, including pursuant to trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have funded, and intend to continue to fund, repurchases through cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The common shares repurchased under the share repurchase programs are cancelled in the periods they are acquired and the payment is accounted for as an increase to accumulated deficit in our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity in the period the payment is made.

The following table summarizes our common share repurchases pursuant to our share repurchase programs (in thousands, except per share data).

In addition to the shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase programs, we repurchased 374,753 common shares from a shareholder for approximately $10.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Dividends

Our Board declared a quarterly dividend on October 27, 2023 of $0.25 per common share to shareholders of record as of close of business on November 27, 2023. The total cash payment of $3.7 million was paid on December 18, 2023. Our Board declared a quarterly dividend on September 5, 2023 of $0.25 per common share to shareholders of record as of close of business on September 15, 2023. The total cash payment of $3.7 million was paid on September 29, 2023. The dividends are eligible dividends pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada).

  1. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Our accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $4.5 million from $385.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $380.7 million at December 31, 2023, as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Changes in other comprehensive loss during 2023 were primarily driven by the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar increasing in value compared to the U.S. dollar. Excluding intercompany balances, our Canadian dollar and Australian dollar functional currency net assets totaled approximately C$234 million and A$205 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

  1. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Certain key employees and non-employee directors participate in the Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Participation Plan of Civeo Corporation (the Civeo Plan). The Civeo Plan authorizes our Board and the Compensation Committee of our Board to approve and grant awards of options, awards of restricted shares, performance awards, phantom share units and dividend equivalents, awards of deferred shares, and share payments to our employees and non-employee directors. No more than 3.0 million Civeo common shares are authorized to be issued under the Civeo Plan.

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 totaled $11.8 million, $14.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is reflected in Selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $0.6 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Phantom Share Units

We grant phantom share unit awards, which vest a third per year over athree year period. Each phantom share unit award is equal in value toone common share. Upon vesting, each recipient will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the fair market value of a common share on the respective vesting date in respect of each phantom share unit then vesting. These awards are accounted for as a liability that is remeasured at each reporting date until paid.

The following table presents the changes in phantom share unit awards outstanding and related information for our employees during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

At December 31, 2023, the balance of the liability for the phantom share awards was $5.7 million. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we made phantom share cash payments of $10.4 million, $6.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to phantom shares was $6.5 million, as remeasured at December 31, 2023, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of phantom shares granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $31.05, $21.97 and $19.80, respectively.

Performance Share Awards

We grant performance share awards, which cliff vest after three years subject to attainment of applicable performance goals. Awards granted in 2023 and 2022 will be earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based equally on (i) the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s relative TSR rank among a peer group of other companies and (ii) the payout percentage associated with Civeo's cumulative operating cash flow over the performance period relative to a preset target. Awards granted in 2021 are earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based on (i) the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s relative TSR rank among a peer group of other companies and (ii) the payout percentage associated with Civeo's cumulative free cash flow over the performance period relative to a preset target. The grant-date fair value of the portion of the performance awards tied to cumulative operating cash flow and free cash flow is based on target achievement and the closing market price of our common shares on the date of grant. We evaluate the probability of achieving the performance goals throughout the performance period and will adjust share-based compensation expense based on the number of shares expected to vest based on our estimate of the most probable performance outcome.

The fair value of the TSR portion of each performance share award was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the performance share at the time of grant. The dividend yield on our common shares was assumed to be zero since we did not pay dividends when the awards were granted. The expected market price volatility of our common shares was based on an estimate that considers the historical and implied volatility of our common shares as well as a peer group of companies over a time period equal to the expected term of the award. The initial TSR performance was based on historical performance of our common shares and the peer group’s common shares.
