CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are usually related to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “may,” “intend,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “estimate,” “potential,” “outlook,” “plan,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.

All of our forward-looking statements involve risk, uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to materially differ from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include those set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in “Risk Factors” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to our registration statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2018, which are summarized as follows:


•	Demand for our products and services, which is affected by changes in the price of, and demand for, crude oil and natural gas in domestic and international markets;


•	Our ability to successfully compete with other companies in our industry;


•	Our ability to develop and implement new technologies and services, as well as our ability to protect and maintain critical intellectual property assets;


•	Cost inflation and availability of raw materials;


•	Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulations relating to hydraulic fracturing or oil and gas development and the potential for related litigation or restrictions on our customers;


•	Our ability to successfully execute our capital allocation and acquisition programs;


•	Potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our products;


•	Continuing consolidation within our customers’ industry;


•	A failure of our information technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security;


•	Changes in environmental and health and safety laws and regulations which may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations;


•	Risks relating to our existing international operations and expansion into new geographical markets;


•	Changes in domestic and foreign governmental public policies, risks associated with entry into emerging markets, changes in statutory tax rates and unanticipated outcomes with respect to tax audits;


•	Failure to attract, retain and develop personnel for key management;


•	The impact of our indebtedness on our financial position and operating flexibility;


•	The impact of tariffs and other trade measures on our business;


•	Credit risks related to our customer base or the loss of significant customers;


•	Deterioration in future expected profitability or cash flows and its effect on our goodwill;


•	Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business;


•	Fluctuations in currency markets worldwide; and


•	Increased compliance costs for us and our customers due to changes in climate change legislation and other regulatory initiatives.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SEPARATION

Apergy Corporation (“Apergy”) is a leading provider of highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely and efficiently around the world. Our products provide efficient functioning throughout the lifecycle of a well—from drilling to completion to production. We report our results of operations in the following reporting segments: Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies. Our Production & Automation Technologies segment offerings consist of artificial lift equipment and solutions, including rod pumping systems, electric submersible pump systems, progressive cavity pumps and drive systems and plunger lifts, as well as a full automation and digital offering consisting of equipment, software and Industrial Internet of Things solutions for downhole monitoring, wellsite productivity enhancement and asset integrity management. Our Drilling Technologies segment offering provides market leading polycrystalline diamond cutters and bearings that result in cost effective and efficient drilling.

Separation and Distribution

On April 18, 2018, the Dover Corporation (“Dover”) Board of Directors approved the separation of entities conducting its upstream oil and gas energy business within Dover’s Energy segment (the “Separation”) into an independent, publicly traded company named Apergy Corporation. Apergy Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on October 10, 2017, under the name Wellsite Corporation and was renamed Apergy Corporation on February 2, 2018. Apergy Corporation was formed for the purpose of holding entities, assets and liabilities conducting Dover’s upstream oil and gas business within Dover’s Energy segment. In accordance with the separation and distribution agreement, the two companies were separated by Dover distributing to Dover’s stockholders all 77,339,828 shares of common stock of Apergy on May 9, 2018. Each Dover shareholder received one share of Apergy stock for every two shares of Dover stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 30, 2018. In conjunction with the Separation, Dover received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of Apergy common stock was not taxable to Dover or U.S. holders of Dover common stock, except in respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests. Following the Separation, Dover retained no ownership interest in Apergy, and each company, as of May 9, 2018, has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration statement on Form 10, as amended, describing the Separation was filed by Apergy with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and was declared effective on April 19, 2018. On May 9, 2018, Apergy common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the “APY” symbol.

Tax Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Apergy and Dover entered into a tax matters agreement which governs Apergy’s and Dover’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities (including taxes, if any incurred as a result of any failure of the Separation or certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other tax matters. Neither party’s obligations under the tax matters agreement will be limited in amount or subject to any cap.

Apergy also agreed to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the Separation and certain related transactions. Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries are barred from taking any action, or failing to take any action, where such action or failure to act may be expected to result in any increased tax liability or reduced tax attribute of Dover. In addition, during the time period ending two years after the date of the Separation, these covenants include specific restrictions on the ability of Apergy and certain of its subsidiaries to:


•	issue or sell stock or other securities (including securities convertible into Apergy stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements);


•	cease to actively conduct its business or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business; and


•	enter into certain other corporate transactions which could cause Apergy to undergo a 40% or greater change in its stock ownership.

Employee Matters Agreement

On May 9, 2018, Apergy and Dover entered into an employee matters agreement which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the parties in connection with the Separation with respect to employee-related matters. The employee matters agreement provides for the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities as applicable, arising out of incentive plans, retirement plans, and employee health and welfare benefit programs, in which Apergy’s employees participated prior to the Separation, and the treatment of outstanding Dover incentive awards. In general, Apergy assumed liabilities related to its current and former employees incurred before the Separation. Dover retained liabilities accrued prior to the Separation related to certain Apergy participants in Dover’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan. As a result of the Separation and effective May 15, 2018, outstanding Dover equity awards held by Apergy employees, other than Dover performance shares, converted into corresponding Apergy equity awards issued under the Apergy Corporation 2018 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan. Generally, each award is subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect prior to the Separation. Immediately prior to the Separation, outstanding Dover performance shares held by Apergy employees that related to performance periods ending after the Separation were cancelled.

In connection with the Separation, we incurred an aggregate principal amount of $715 million of long-term debt, which consists of a $415 million term loan facility and $300 million of senior notes. Net proceeds from the notes offering, together with borrowings under the term loan facility, were used to make a cash payment of $700 million to Dover and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation. See Note 8 — Debt for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

Prior to the Separation, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Dover and reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of certain Dover entities conducting its upstream oil and gas energy business within Dover’s Energy segment, including an allocated portion of Dover’s corporate costs. These financial statements have been presented as if such businesses had been combined for all periods prior to the Separation. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Dover were eliminated. The assets and liabilities were reflected on a historical cost basis since all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by Dover and were transferred within the Dover consolidated group. The statements of income also include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by Dover and not allocated to its operating segments, including corporate executive management, human resources, information technology, facilities, tax, shared services, finance and legal, including the costs of salaries, benefits and other related costs. These expense allocations were based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measures. These pre-Separation combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented prior to the Separation and consequently may not reflect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented prior to the Separation. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a variety of factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.

Prior to the Separation, transactions between Apergy and Dover, with the exception of transactions discussed in Note 3 —Related Party Transactions, are reflected in the condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, as part of “net parent investment in Apergy” and in the condensed combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity in “net transfers to parent company.” See Note 3 — Related Party Transactions for additional information.

No portion of Dover’s third-party debt was historically held by an Apergy entity or was transferred to Apergy; therefore, no debt was included in the condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and no interest expense was presented in the condensed combined statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Intercompany notes payable to Dover of $224.5 million as of December 31, 2017, were presented within “net parent investment in Apergy” because the notes were not settled in cash. Accordingly, no interest expense related to intercompany debt was presented in the condensed combined statements of income for each of the periods presented prior to the Separation. Additionally, our U.S. cash was historically pooled to Dover through intercompany advances and consequently is not reflected on our condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

All financial information presented after the Separation represents the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Apergy. Accordingly, our results of operations and cash flows consist of the consolidated results of Apergy from May 9, 2018 to June 30, 2018, and the combined results of operations and cash flows for periods prior to May 9, 2018. Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, reflects the consolidated balances of Apergy while the December 31, 2017, balance sheet reflects the combined balances of the Dover upstream oil and gas energy businesses that were transferred to Apergy. Our management believes the assumptions underlying these condensed consolidated financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of corporate expenses from Dover for periods prior to the Separation, are reasonable.

The legal transfer of the upstream oil and gas energy businesses from Dover to Apergy occurred on May 9, 2018; however, for ease of reference, and unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Apergy Corporation,” “Apergy,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer (i) prior to the Separation, to the Apergy businesses, consisting of entities, assets and liabilities conducting the upstream oil and gas business within Dover’s Energy segment and (ii) after the Separation, to Apergy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Apergy have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements, and notes thereto, in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Reclassifications

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, we changed our presentation of expenditures related to purchases of leased inventory. Previously, these amounts were reported in the operating section of our cash flow statement as “other” in adjustments to reconcile net income but are now reported as changes in our operating assets and liabilities in the operating section of our cash flow statement as “leased assets and other, net.” During the first quarter of 2018, we changed our presentation of amortization expense primarily related to customer intangible assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reclassified $10.4 million and $21.1 million of amortization expense previously reported as a component of “selling, general and administrative expense” to “cost of goods and services” on our condensed combined statements of income.

During the second quarter of 2018, we changed our presentation of capital lease obligations. As of December 31, 2017, we reclassified $3.7 million of capital lease obligations previously reported as “other long-term liabilities” to “long-term debt” on our condensed combined balance sheet.

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. See Note 2 — New Accounting Standards for additional information.

NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2018, we early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update allows for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to equity for stranded deferred income tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”). We elected to reclassify these stranded deferred income tax effects which amounted to $1.3 million. The stranded deferred income tax effects were specifically identified with our employee benefit plans and were the result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate against the corresponding deferred income taxes in AOCI.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This update changes the income statement presentation of defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plan expense by requiring separation between operating expense (service cost component of net periodic benefit cost) and non-operating expense (all other components of net periodic benefit cost, including interest cost, amortization of prior service cost, curtailments and settlements, etc.). The operating expense component is reported with similar compensation costs while the non-operating components are reported in “other expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The adoption of this update was not material to the periods presented. We utilized a practical expedient which allows an entity to use amounts previously disclosed in its pension and other post-retirement benefits disclosures for any prior period as the estimation basis for applying the required retrospective presentation requirements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under this guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or group of similar assets), the assets acquired would not represent a business. In addition, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. The update also narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in guidance for revenue recognition. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Specifically, the new update clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. We adopted this guidance retrospectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the impact of this adoption resulted in a $4.3 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a corresponding increase to net cash used by investing activities on our statement of cash flows related to cash expenditures for certain leased assets.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The update introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the provisions of the ASU to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018.

During the second half of 2015, Dover developed a project plan to implement ASU 2014-09, and as a subsidiary of Dover, we were included in Dover’s implementation efforts. We completed the project plan and analyzed the ASU’s impact on our contract portfolio, surveyed our businesses for our various revenue streams, completed contract reviews, and compared our historical accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new guidance. We also evaluated the new disclosure requirements and identified and implemented appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls. We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective method and identified no cumulative effect adjustment to our total net investment balance as of January 1, 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard was not material to our financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

We have applied the following practical expedients or elections under the new standard:


•	Omission of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.


•	We applied the practical expedient to not capitalize costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within “cost of goods and services” in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

•

We elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer, and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. Thus, we may not consider an advance payment to be a significant financing component, if it is received less than one year before product completion.

•

We elected to exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) from the determination of the transaction price. As a result, our accounting policy of reporting revenue net of these taxes was not changed under the new standard.


•	We elected to account for shipping and handling activities performed after control of a good has been transferred to the customer as a contract fulfillment cost. As a result, our accounting policy related to shipping and handling was not changed under the new standard.

See Note 11 — Revenue for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases; however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. Additionally, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method, which will result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to retained earnings.

After the Separation from Dover, we established a cross-functional team to continue the process of implementing the new guidance, which included an evaluation of the work performed by Dover prior to the Separation. We are currently gathering information on all leases and configuring and implementing a new lease software system. Effective with the Separation, we are evaluating our policy elections and considerations under the new lease guidance, including the potential use of practical expedients, and are in the process of updating our internal control and business processes. We continue to assess the impacts the guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures, internal control over financial reporting and other business practices and processes.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The update amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which may result in earlier recognition of losses related to financial instruments. The guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Dover Corporation

Prior to the Separation, Dover provided certain services including corporate executive management, human resources, information technology, facilities, tax, shared services, finance and legal services. Dover will continue to provide us certain of these services on a temporary basis following the Separation under a transition services agreement. Under the transition services agreement, Apergy pays a fee to Dover for services utilized under the transition services agreement, which fee is generally intended to allow Dover to recover all of its direct and indirect costs generally without profit. Except as provided otherwise in the transition services agreement, or with respect to specific services with other specified terms, the initial term of the transition services agreement will end on January 31, 2019, and the term may then be extended until May 9, 2019, or such other period set forth on the schedules thereto (subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances).

All financial information presented prior to the Separation does not include all the expenses that would have been incurred had Apergy been a stand-alone public company. The corporate expenses allocated by Dover to these financial statements were $1.6 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $7.4 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were recorded in “selling, general and administrative expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

For periods prior to the Separation, transactions between Apergy and Dover, with the exception of transactions discussed below with Dover’s affiliates, are reflected in “net parent investment in Apergy” in the condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and in “net transfers to parent company” in the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, as a financing activity. Accounts receivable, accounts payable and revenues with Dover and its affiliates were not material for the periods presented. We recognized royalty expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, and $2.3 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the use of Dover’s intellectual property and patents which was included in “other expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. On April 1, 2018, patents and other intangibles owned by Dover related to our operations transferred to Apergy, and consequently, Apergy will no longer incur royalty charges related to these assets from Dover.

Noncontrolling Interest

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we declared and paid $2.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of distributions to the noncontrolling interest holder in Norris Production Solutions Middle East LLC, a subsidiary in the Sultanate of Oman. We have a commission arrangement with our noncontrolling interest for 5% of certain annual product sales.

NOTE 4 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

On May 9, 2018, 77,339,828 shares of our common stock were distributed to Dover stockholders in conjunction with the Separation. See Note 1 — Basis Of Presentation And Separation for additional information. For comparative purposes, and to provide a more meaningful calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, we have assumed the shares issued in conjunction with the Separation to be outstanding as of the beginning of each period prior to the Separation. In addition, we have assumed the potential dilutive securities outstanding as of May 8, 2018, were outstanding and fully dilutive in each of the periods prior to the Separation.

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation was as follows:

Senior Notes

On May 3, 2018, and in connection with the Separation, we completed the private placement of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due May 2026 (“Senior Notes”). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year commencing on November 1, 2018. Net proceeds of $293.8 million from the offering were utilized to partially fund the $700 million cash payment to Dover at the Separation and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation.

The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture dated as of May 3, 2018, between Apergy and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, and are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by the subsidiary guarantors of our senior secured credit facilities as described below. At any time prior to May 1, 2021, we may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed plus a premium, as defined in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning on or after May 1, 2021, we may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at certain tiered redemption prices as defined in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with our future and existing senior debt but are effectively subordinated to our future and existing debt to the extent of the assets securing such senior debt. The Senior Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt.

In connection with the private placement, we granted the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes certain registration rights under a registration right agreement. We have agreed for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to be effective a registration statement with the SEC relating to a registered offer to exchange the Senior Notes for an issue of SEC-registered notes with terms identical in all material respects to the Senior Notes. Generally, we have one year from the issuance of the Senior Notes to complete the exchange offer. Should Apergy not complete its obligations under the registration rights agreement within a year, the annual interest rate on the Senior Notes will increase at different intervals based on the passage of time after one year.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On May 9, 2018, Apergy entered into a new credit agreement (“credit agreement”) governing the terms of its new senior secured credit facilities, consisting of (i) a seven-year senior secured term loan B facility (“term loan facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility,” and together with the term loan facility, the “senior secured credit facilities”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The net proceeds of the senior secured credit facilities were used (i) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Separation, (ii) partially fund the cash payment to Dover and (iii) provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The senior secured credit facilities are jointly and severally guaranteed by Apergy and certain of Apergy’s wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (“guarantors”), on a senior secured basis, and are secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Apergy and the guarantors, except for certain excluded assets.

Table of Contents

At our election, outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities will accrue interest at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus a margin or (ii) a base rate plus a margin. The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of customary covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict the ability of Apergy and the restricted subsidiaries to, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, perform certain activities which include, but are not limited to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) make acquisitions and (iii) pay dividends or other payments in respect of our capital stock. Additionally, Apergy will be required to maintain (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of 2.75 to 1.00 and (b) a maximum total leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, of 4.00 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019, then 3.75 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, then 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter.

Term Loan Facility. The term loan facility had an initial commitment of $415 million. The full amount of the term loan facility was funded on May 9, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the term loan facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. The term loan facility matures in May 2025. Net proceeds of $408.8 million from the term loan facility were utilized to partially fund the cash payment to Dover at the Separation and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation.

The term loan is subject to mandatory amortization payments of 1.0% per annum of the initial commitment of $415 million paid quarterly. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the term loan facility is subject to mandatory prepayments, including the amount equal to: 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales subject to (i) reinvestment periods and (ii) step-downs to 75% and 50% based on certain leverage targets; and 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, with step-downs to 25% and 0% based on certain leverage targets. Apergy may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the term loan facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than during the six months following May 9, 2018, on the amount of loans prepaid or repaid in connection with a repricing transaction), as defined in the credit agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility. The revolving credit facility consists of a five-year senior secured facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $250 million, of which up to $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facility may be re-borrowed. The revolving credit facility matures in May 2023.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have provided indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including representations and warranties and related indemnities for environmental health and safety, tax and employment matters. We do not have any material liabilities recorded for these indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities.

In connection with the Separation, we entered into agreements with Dover that govern the treatment between Dover and us of certain indemnification matters and litigation responsibility. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Dover’s business with Dover. The separation and distribution agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. In addition, pursuant to the tax matters agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Dover and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the Separation and/or certain related transactions to the extent caused by an acquisition of Apergy stock or assets or by any other action or failure to act undertaken by Apergy or its affiliates.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $8.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees which expire at various dates through 2020. These financial instruments are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. Generally, we would only be liable for the amount of these letters of credit in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Litigation

We are also a party to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to our businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of our products, patent infringement, employment matters, and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and currently accrued to-date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We have reserves for legal matters that are probable and estimable and not otherwise covered by insurance, and as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these liabilities were not material. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11 — REVENUE

Our revenue is substantially generated from product sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, approximately 89% of our revenue was generated from product sales. Our remaining revenue was derived from services, leases and other, which represented approximately 7%, 3%, and 1%, respectively, of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Product revenue is derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Service revenue is earned as technical advisory assistance and field services related to our products are provided. Lease revenue is derived from month-to-month rental income of leased production equipment.

The majority of our revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments occurring within a year from the customer order date. A small portion of our revenue derives from contracts extending over one year. Our payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days and vary by the location of our businesses and the types and volumes of products manufactured and sold, among other factors. Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are generally not material to us.

The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, in most cases, the equipment or product sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation, extended warranty and/or maintenance services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We typically use observable prices to determine the stand-alone selling price of a performance obligation and utilize a cost plus margin approach when observable prices are not available.

Substantially all of our performance obligations are recognized at a point in time and are primarily related to our product revenue derived from the sale of drilling and production equipment. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, certification, or other substantive acceptance provisions required under the contract. Revenue is recognized over time for our service and lease offerings. Service revenue is recognized over time as we provide technical advisory assistance and field services related to our products.

Warranties

The majority of our contracts contain standard warranties in connection with the sale of a product to a customer which provide a customer assurance that the related product will function for a period of time as the parties intended. In addition to our standard warranties, we also offer extended warranties to our customers. Warranties provided as part of our product offering are analyzed to determine whether they represent a distinct service, and if so, are recognized as service revenue over the related warranty period.

Remaining performance obligations

As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any contracts with an original length of greater than a year, from which revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied).

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers were as follows:



(in thousands)	June 30, 2018	January 1, 2018
Contract assets	3,103	4,733
Contract liabilities - current	6,686	4,487

Contract assets primarily relate to our right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to our obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received advance consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Current contract liabilities are recorded in other “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Estimates are used to determine the amount of variable consideration in contracts, the determination of the standalone selling price among separate performance obligations, as well as the determination of the measure of progress for contracts where revenue is recognized over time. Some contracts with customers include variable consideration primarily related to volume rebates. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to determine the total consideration which we expect to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are largely based on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available.

NOTE 12 — RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES

Restructuring and other related charges as classified in our condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		2018		2017
Cost of goods and services	$	1,587	$	6	$	1,590	$	(1	)
Selling, general and administrative expense	443		1		922		14
Total	$	2,030	$	7	$	2,512	$	13

Restructuring and other related charges of $2.0 million and $2.5 million were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, within our Production & Automation Technologies segment. These charges reflect costs associated with exiting certain product lines and include severance and related benefit costs, early lease termination and other related charges. Our restructuring programs were designed to better align our costs and operations with current market conditions and include measures such as targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other actions to further optimize our operations. We expect the initiatives currently underway to be substantially completed over the next year.

Our liability balances for restructuring and other exit activities were $2.2 million and $2.6 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and primarily include ongoing lease commitment obligations for facilities closed in prior periods and employee severance and related benefits.

NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES

Prior to the Separation, our operations were historically included in Dover’s U.S. combined federal and state income tax returns. For the periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances are presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements as if Apergy filed its own tax returns in each jurisdiction and include tax losses and tax credits that may not reflect tax positions taken by Dover. In many cases, tax losses and tax credits generated by Apergy through the date of the Separation were utilized by Dover. Income tax payable balances as of December 31, 2017, were classified within “net parent investment in Apergy” on the condensed combined balance sheet since Dover is legally liable for the tax.

Our income tax provision reflected effective tax rates of 29.8% and 30.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 26.2% and 31.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rates were primarily due to the Tax Reform Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, and which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, partially offset by tax on capital gains related to certain reorganizations of our subsidiaries as a result of the Separation.

We recognized provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in our combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The provisions in the Tax Reform Act are broad and complex. We have not yet completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act as of June 30, 2018, but have made reasonable estimates of those effects on our existing deferred income tax balances and the one-time deemed repatriation tax. The final financial statement impact of the Tax Reform Act may differ from our estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Reform Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Reform Act, and changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Reform Act, or any updates or changes to estimates we have utilized to calculate the provisional impacts. The SEC has issued rules which allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Reform Act to finalize the recording of the related income tax impacts. We expect to finalize our analysis related to the Tax Reform Act by the end of the measurement period.

NOTE 14 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We had no outstanding derivative contracts as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were not significant; thus, no fair value disclosures are presented.

The fair value, based on Level 1 quoted market rates, of our Senior Notes was approximately $304.9 million at June 30, 2018, as compared to the $300 million face value of the debt. The fair value, based on Level 2 quoted market rates, of our term loan facility was approximately $417.1 million at June 30, 2018, as compared to the $415 million face value of the debt.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Credit Risk

By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments.

NOTE 15 — EQUITY AND CASH INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Prior to the Separation, Dover granted share-based awards to its officers and other key employees, including certain Apergy individuals. All awards granted under the program consisted of Dover common shares and are not necessarily indicative of the results that Apergy would have experienced as a stand-alone public company for the periods presented prior to the Separation. Effective with the Separation, outstanding Dover share-based awards were converted to Apergy share-based awards, with the exception of outstanding Dover performance share awards that relate to performance periods ending after the Separation. Such performance share awards were cancelled effective with the Separation.

In connection with the Separation, the Board of Directors of Apergy adopted the Apergy Corporation 2018 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan was also approved by Dover in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Apergy at the time of adoption. A total of 6.5 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan, subject to customary adjustments arising from stock splits and other similar changes.

The 2018 Plan authorized the grant of stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards, cash performance awards, directors’ shares and deferred stock units. The Apergy Compensation Committee determines the exercise price for options and the base price of SARs, which may not be less than the fair market value of Apergy common stock on the date of grant. Generally, stock options or SARs vest after three years of service and expire at the end of ten years. Performance share awards vest if Apergy achieves certain pre-established performance targets based on specified performance criteria over a performance period of not less than three years.

In May 2018 and in connection with the Separation, 352 thousand restricted stock awards and 87 thousand performance shares were granted to employees.

Stock-based compensation expense is reported within “selling, general and administrative expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Stock-based compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans was as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Stock-based compensation expense	$	851		$	531		$	1,361		$	1,132
Tax benefit	(183		)	(184		)	(296		)	(392		)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	668		$	347		$	1,065		$	740

NOTE 16 — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Prior to the Separation, certain of our employees participated in defined benefit and non-qualified plans sponsored by Dover, which included participants of other Dover subsidiaries. Through the Separation date, we accounted for such plans as multi-employer benefit plans. A proportionate share of the cost associated with these plans is reflected in the condensed combined statements of income prior to the Separation.

Dover provided a defined benefit pension plan for its eligible U.S. employees and retirees (“U.S. Pension Plan”). As such, the portion of Apergy’s liability associated with the U.S. Pension Plan is not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and was not recorded at the Separation as this obligation will be maintained and serviced by Dover. Shortly before the Separation, Apergy participants in the U.S. Pension Plan (other than Norris USW participants) fully vested in their benefits, and all participants ceased accruing benefits. In addition, Apergy did not assume any funding requirements or obligations related to the U.S. Pension Plan upon the Separation. Norris USW participants were moved to a new pension plan and continued to accrue benefits.

Dover also provided a defined benefit pension plan for its eligible salaried non-U.S. employees and retirees in Canada (“Canada Salaried Pension Plan”). As such, the portion of Apergy’s liability associated with this non-U.S. plan is not reflected in our condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, as this obligation was maintained and serviced by Dover. The Canada Salaried Pension Plan, including all assets and liabilities, was transferred to Apergy at the Separation. Shortly before the Separation, all non-Apergy participants in this plan ceased accruing benefits or were not permitted to make contributions, as applicable. The non-Apergy participants may elect a lump sum cash payment post Separation that will be the responsibility of Apergy and will be funded out of the plan assets.

Dover provided to certain U.S. management employees, through non-qualified plans, supplemental retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law. As of January 1, 2018, Apergy participants in these non-qualified plans no longer accrued benefits nor were permitted to make contributions, as applicable. Apergy assumed the funding requirements and related obligations attributable to Apergy employees related to these non-qualified plans upon the Separation. The non-qualified plans are unfunded and contributions are made as benefits are paid.

At the Separation, we recognized $6.6 million of liabilities and $1.5 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, related to plans previously accounted for as multi-employer plans prior to the Separation.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

Total net periodic benefit cost was $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.8 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Prior to the Separation, our net periodic benefit costs included total net periodic benefit costs associated with plans accounted for as single-employer plans and an allocation from Dover Corporation for plans accounted for as multi-employer plans. After the Separation, total net periodic benefit costs include all costs associated with plans that we sponsor, including plans that transferred to Apergy as discussed above.

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans

We also offer defined contribution retirement plans which cover the majority of our U.S. employees and employees in certain other countries. Expense relating to our defined contribution plans was $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $4.7 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Separation and Distribution

On April 18, 2018, the Dover Board of Directors approved the separation of entities conducting its upstream oil and gas energy business within the Dover Energy segment into an independent, publicly traded company named Apergy Corporation. In accordance with the separation and distribution agreement, the two companies were separated by Dover distributing to its stockholders all 77,339,828 shares of Apergy common stock on May 9, 2018. Each Dover shareholder received one share of Apergy common stock for every two shares of Dover common stock held at the close of business on the record date of April 30, 2018. In conjunction with the Separation, Dover received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings set forth in the ruling, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution of Apergy common stock was not taxable to Dover or U.S. holders of Dover common stock, except in respect to cash received in lieu of fractional share interests. Following the Separation, Dover retained no ownership interest in Apergy, and each company now has separate public ownership, boards of directors and management. A registration on Form 10, as amended, describing the Separation was filed by Apergy with the SEC and was declared effective on April 19, 2018. On May 9, 2018, Apergy common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the “APY” symbol.

Basis of Presentation

See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Separation for information on the basis of presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Business Environment

Our business provides a broad range of technologies and products for the oil and gas drilling and production industry and, as a result, is substantially dependent upon activity levels in the oil and gas industry. Demand for our products is impacted by overall global demand for oil and gas, ongoing depletion rates of existing wells which produce oil and gas, and our customers’ willingness to invest in the development and production of oil and gas resources. Our customers determine their operating and capital budgets primarily on current and projected crude oil and natural gas prices, U.S. and worldwide rig count and U.S. well completions. Crude oil and natural gas prices are impacted by geopolitical, macroeconomic and local events and have historically been subject to substantial volatility and cyclicality. Projected higher oil and gas prices typically translate into higher exploration and production budgets. Indicators, such as rig count, footage drilled and exploration and production spending by oil and gas operators, have often been used as indicators for the level of drilling activity in the oil and gas sector.

Market Conditions and Outlook

Oil supply markets tightened in the back half of 2017 and throughout the first half of 2018, driving second quarter 2018 average WTI crude prices higher. Average WTI crude prices increased 8% in the second quarter of 2018 from the first quarter of 2018, as a result of capped outputs from OPEC and other producers, increased global oil demand and declining inventories. Although certain OPEC and non-OPEC producers announced plans to increase production beginning in the third quarter of 2018, the crude oil price outlook remained relatively stable driven by expectations that these announced production increases would not offset falling production levels in Venezuela and certain other countries. U.S. rig counts increased sequentially in the second quarter of 2018; however, worldwide rig count fell during the same period primarily due to lower seasonal rig counts in Canada. We expect continued growth in rig count, as well as footage drilled, throughout the remainder of 2018 as the demand for oil and gas continues to grow and commodity prices remain constructive.

Recently announced tariffs by the U.S. government, and retaliatory tariffs and other trade restrictions by others, introduce some uncertainty to our business since some of our products are impacted by the tariffs. We expect these products to experience higher input costs; however, we expect to mitigate the impacts of higher costs through various measures, including expanded productivity improvement initiatives. In addition, we remain ready to respond to any changes in our customer plans based on the recent takeaway capacity issues in the Permian basin. We have not experienced any material impacts to our business, and we believe U.S. producers will redirect their capital to other basins which we currently serve.

We expect the market throughout the remainder of 2018 will remain strong and support oil and gas prices which will remain favorable to our business outlook. Additionally, we expect stable to increasing U.S. rig count and continued exploration and production spending to help us achieve our 2018 revenue and earnings targets. Although risk remains that oil prices and activity levels could deteriorate from current levels, we believe the long-term outlook for our businesses is favorable. Increasing global demand for oil and gas, in combination with ongoing depletion of existing reservoirs, are expected to drive continued investment in the drilling and completion of new wells. In addition, productivity and efficiency are becoming increasingly important in the oil and gas industry as operators focus on improving per-well economics.

Average oil and gas prices, rig counts and well completions are summarized below:



	2017										2018

Book-to-bill ratio. The book-to-bill ratio compares the dollar value of orders received (bookings) relative to revenues realized during the period. Management uses this financial measure as an indicator of demand. A ratio above 1.0 implies that more orders were received than filled, indicating strong customer demand, while a ratio below 1.0 implies weaker customer demand. We believe the book-to-bill ratio is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our performance and outlook.

*	Not meaningful

Revenue. Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 increased $49.8 million, or 19.4%, year-over-year driven by broad-based volume growth in our Production & Automation Technologies’ artificial lift and digital offerings due to improving oil and gas markets, particularly U.S. rig count and well completion activity. In addition, revenue increased in our Drilling Technologies segment year-over-year due to increased volumes driven by increased U.S. rig counts.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 increased $19.1 million, or 22.6%, year-over-year, reflecting benefits of increased sales volumes in both our Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies segments, combined with cost containment efforts and productivity initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2018 increased $10.9 million, or 19.9%, year-over-year, primarily due to increased headcount in support of our growth initiatives and $5.1 million in professional fees and other related charges associated with the Separation.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net in the second quarter of 2018 increased $6.0 million year-over-year due to issuances of our term loan facility and senior notes during the second quarter of 2018.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 were 29.8% and 30.9%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the Tax Reform Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, and which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, partially offset by tax on capital gains related to certain reorganizations of our subsidiaries as a result of the Separation.

Revenue. Production & Automation Technologies revenue increased $42.5 million, or 21.5%, year-over-year, driven by broad-based volume growth in our artificial lift and digital offerings due to improving oil and gas markets, particularly U.S. rig count and well completion activity, and increased international activity.

Operating profit. Production & Automation Technologies operating profit increased $13.4 million year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in sales volume due to improving oil and gas markets, particularly U.S. rig count and well completion activity. In addition, the increase in operating profit was due to productivity savings, partially offset by higher material costs, particularly aluminum and steel. Operating profit during the second quarter of 2018 benefitted from the absence of the royalty charge from Dover; however, this benefit was largely offset by restructuring charges incurred during the second quarter of 2018.

Bookings and Book-to-bill. Bookings for the second quarter of 2018 increased $59.8 million, or 31.5%, year-over-year, reflecting ongoing market improvement. Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.04 in the second quarter of 2018, reflecting strong customer demand.

Revenue. Production & Automation Technologies revenue for the first half of 2018 increased $76.4 million, or 20.2%, year-over-year, driven by broad-based volume growth in our artificial lift and digital offerings due to improving oil and gas markets, particularly U.S. rig count and well completion activity.

Operating profit. Production & Automation Technologies operating profit increased $15.9 million year-over-year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in sales volume due to improving oil and gas markets, particularly U.S. rig count and well completion activity. In addition, the increase in operating profit was due to productivity savings, partially offset by higher material costs, particularly aluminum and steel. Operating profit during the first half of 2018 benefitted from lower royalty charges from Dover which ended on April 1, 2018; however, this benefit was largely offset by restructuring charges incurred during the first half of 2018.

Bookings and Book-to-bill. Bookings for the first half of 2018 increased $79.7 million, or 20.6%, year-over-year, reflecting ongoing market improvement. Our book-to-bill ratio was 1.02 in the first half of 2018, reflecting strong customer demand.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2017, all of our cash balances were held outside the United States. Our U.S. cash was historically pooled to Dover through intercompany advances and is not reflected on our condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 40% of our cash balances were held outside the United States primarily for working capital and support needs. All of our cash held outside the United States could be repatriated; however, we have not provided for foreign withholding taxes on our undistributed foreign earnings from jurisdictions which impose such taxes since we have determined that such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in those jurisdictions.

We have historically generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. We expect to meet the continuing funding requirements of our U.S. operations with cash generated by such U.S. operations and our revolving credit facility. See “Capital Resources and Liquidity—Outlook” for information related to our revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows



	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018			2017
Cash provided by operating activities	$	58,900		$	25,612
Cash required by investing activities	(31,086		)	(13,644		)
Cash required by financing activities	(20,734		)	(16,302		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	41			1,037
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	7,121		$	(3,297	)

Operating Activities

We generated cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, of $58.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by higher cash income generated from operations. Both our Production & Automation Technologies and Drilling Technologies segments reported increased earnings year-over-year.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we used cash from investing activities of $31.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to investments to support increased sales and investments in assets available to customers on a rental basis.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was the result of net transfers to Dover of $716.1 million, primarily comprised of our $700 million payment to Dover related to the Separation, and $2.7 million of distributions to our noncontrolling interest holder. These payments were partially offset by issuances of long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs, of $698.1 million. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, resulted from net transfers to Dover related to transactions with Dover.

Debt and Liquidity

Senior Notes

On May 3, 2018, and in connection with the Separation, we completed the private placement of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due May 2026 (“Senior Notes”). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year commencing on November 1, 2018. Net proceeds of $293.8 million from the offering were utilized to partially fund the cash payment to Dover and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Separation.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

A summary of our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2018 was as follows:



(in millions) Description	Amount		Debt Outstanding		Letters of Credit		Unused Capacity		Maturity
Five-year revolving credit facility	$	250.0	$	—	$	8.5	$	241.5	May 2023

As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under our revolving credit facility.

See Note 8 — Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Outlook

As a result of the Separation, we no longer participate in cash management and funding arrangements with Dover. Prior to the Separation, we utilized these arrangements to fund daily operating activities and significant business expenditures, such as manufacturing capacity expansion and acquisitions.

We expect to generate our liquidity and capital resources through operations and, when needed, through our revolving credit facility. We have $241.5 million of capacity available under our revolving credit facility that we expect to utilize if working capital needs temporarily increase. The volatility in credit, equity and commodity markets creates some uncertainty for our businesses. However, management believes, based on our current financial condition and current expectations of future market conditions, that we will meet our short- and long-term needs with a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, our use of our revolving credit facility and access to capital markets. We continue to focus on improving our customer collection efforts and overall working capital turnover to improve our cash flow position.

We project spending approximately three percent of revenue for infrastructure related capital expenditures and an additional $25 million to $30 million for capital investments directed at expanding our portfolio of electrical submersible pump leased assets.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Information related to guarantees is incorporated herein by reference from Note 10 — Commitments And Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, there were no changes to our identified critical accounting estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 2 — New Accounting Standards to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Risk Management” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018. There have been no material changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2018.

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, management believes that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to our risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in the Information Statement included in Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2018, the following risk factor was identified:

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and operating flexibility.

In connection with the Separation, we incurred a significant amount of indebtedness. Subject to the limits contained in the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture that governs our senior notes, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our level of debt could intensify.

Specifically, our level of debt could have important consequences, including:


•	making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our senior notes and our other debt;


•	limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our business operations;


•	requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments;


•	increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;


•	exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest;


•	limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;


•	placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and


•	increasing our cost of borrowing.

In addition, the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture that governs our senior notes contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term interests. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our debt.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness as well as any future debt that we may incur depends upon the level of cash flows generated by our operations, our ability to sell assets, availability under our five-year senior secured revolving credit facility and our ability to access the capital markets and/or other sources of financing. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, industry, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including (i) reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes or (ii) dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the oil and gas industry could be impaired.

New tariffs and other trade measures could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Recently, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum and a broad range of other products imported into the United States. In response to the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, the European Union, Canada, Mexico and China have announced tariffs on U.S. goods and services. The new tariffs, along with any additional tariffs or trade restrictions that may be implemented by the United States or retaliatory trade measures or tariffs implemented by other countries, could result in higher manufacturing costs and increased prices for our products, and we may not be able to pass price increases on to our customers. While tariffs and other retaliatory trade measures imposed by other countries on U.S. goods have not yet had a significant

impact on our business or results of operations, we cannot predict further developments, and such existing or future tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
