With roots dating to 1938, Expro Group Holdings N.V. (the “Company,” “Expro,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global provider of energy services with operations in approximately
On March 10, 2021, Frank’s International N.V. (“Frank’s”) and New Eagle Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Frank’s (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Expro Group Holdings International Limited (“Legacy Expro”), an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, providing for the merger of Legacy Expro with and into Merger Sub in an all-stock transaction, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Frank’s (the “Merger”). The Merger closed on October 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), and Frank’s was renamed Expro Group Holdings N.V. The Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Legacy Expro being identified as the accounting acquirer. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect the condensed financial position, results of operations and cash flows of only Legacy Expro for all periods prior to the Merger and of the combined company (including activities of Frank’s) for all periods subsequent to the Merger.

Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized profits arising from them, have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Investments in which we do not have a controlling interest, but over which we do exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2022.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting, included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2022, the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other period.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis using the United States dollar (“$” or “U.S. dollar”) as the reporting currency.
Significant accounting policies
Refer to Note 2 “Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies” of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2022, for a discussion of our significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) generally in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.
We consider the applicability and impact of all accounting pronouncements. Recently issued ASUs were assessed and were either determined to be not applicable or are expected to have immaterial impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Frank’s International N.V.
As discussed in Note 1 “Business description,” the Merger of Frank’s with Legacy Expro pursuant to the Merger Agreement was completed on October 1, 2021. U.S. GAAP requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquired business and the resulting measurement of goodwill. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse merger and Legacy Expro has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company has in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, applied the acquisition method of accounting to account for Frank’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Applying the acquisition method of accounting includes recording the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values and recording goodwill for the excess of the consideration transferred over the net aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Merger consideration was based on Frank’s closing share price on the Closing Date. In a reverse merger involving only the exchange of equity, the fair value of the equity of the accounting acquiree may be used to measure consideration transferred if the value of the accounting acquiree’s equity interests are more reliably measurable than the value of the accounting acquirer’s equity interest. As Legacy Expro was a private company and Frank’s was a public company with a quoted and reliable market price, the fair value of Frank’s equity interests was deemed to be more reliable. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total consideration exchanged was as follows:

The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated
Goodwill is not amortized but rather subject to an annual impairment test, absent any indicators of impairment prior to the annual testing date. Goodwill is attributable to planned synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Legacy Expro and Frank’s. Goodwill recorded in the Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by geography, as disclosed in Note 5 “Business segment reporting,” as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Additionally, we disaggregate our revenue into main areas of capabilities.
The following table sets forth the total amount of revenue by main area of capabilities as follows (in thousands):

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under contracts with our customers by transferring services and products in exchange for consideration. The timing of our performance often differs from the timing of our customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of unbilled receivables and deferred revenue.
Unbilled receivables are initially recognized for revenue earned on completion of the performance obligation which are not yet invoiced to the customer. The amounts recognized as unbilled receivables are reclassified to trade receivable upon billing. Deferred revenue represents the Company’s obligations to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Company has received consideration, in full or part, from the customer.
Contract balances consisted of the following as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed and future revenue recognition is expected. We have elected the practical expedient permitting the exclusion of disclosing remaining performance obligations for contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less and for our long-term contracts we have a right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date.

| 7. | Income taxes |
For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual tax rate based on projected pre-tax income (loss) before equity in income of joint ventures for the full year and record a quarterly income tax expense (benefit) in accordance with accounting guidance for income taxes. As the year progresses, we refine the estimate of the year’s pre-tax income (loss) before equity in income of joint ventures as new information becomes available. The continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust the income tax expense (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date expense reflects the most current expected annual tax rate.
Our effective tax rates were (
Our effective tax rate was impacted primarily due to changes in the mix of taxable profits between jurisdictions, in particular increased taxable profits in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, and an increase in withholding taxes in various jurisdictions.

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to us, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management, with input from legal counsel, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in proceedings, our management, with input from legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable a material loss has been incurred and the amount of liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. We are the subject of lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We have conducted an internal investigation of the operations of certain of Frank’s foreign subsidiaries in West Africa including possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), our policies and other applicable laws. In June 2016, we voluntarily disclosed the existence of our internal review to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The DOJ has provided a declination, subject to the Company and the SEC reaching a satisfactory settlement of civil claims. We are discussing a possible resolution with the SEC and, based on the course of these discussions to date, we believe that a final resolution of this matter is likely to include a civil penalty in the amount of approximately $

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintained the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDC Plan”) for certain current and former Frank’s employees. Effective during 2015, this plan was closed to new entrants. The purpose of the EDC Plan was to provide participants with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus, and other specified cash compensation. Participant contributions were immediately vested. Company contributions vested after years of service. Participant benefits under the EDC Plan were paid from the general funds of the Company or a grantor trust, commonly referred to as a Rabbi Trust, created for the purpose of informally funding the EDC Plan. The assets of the EDC Plan’s trust were invested in corporate-owned, split-dollar life insurance policies and mutual funds. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the EDC Plan and settled substantially all remaining obligations under the plan by liquidating the cash surrender value of life insurance policies that were held within the Rabbi Trust.

| 19. | Loss per share |
Basic loss per share attributable to Company stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to Company stockholders is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock, unless there is a net loss for the period. We apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average common shares represented by unvested restricted stock units, stock options and Employee Stock Purchase Program (“ESPP”) shares.

Overview of Business
Working for clients across the entire well life cycle, we are a leading provider of energy services, offering cost-effective, innovative solutions and what we consider to be best-in-class safety and service quality. The Company’s extensive portfolio of capabilities spans well construction, well flow management, subsea well access, and well intervention and integrity solutions.
With roots dating to 1938, we have approximately 7,200 employees and provide services and solutions to leading exploration and production companies in both onshore and offshore environments in approximately 60 countries.
Our broad portfolio of products and services are designed to enhance production and improve recovery across the well lifecycle from exploration through abandonment, including:
| Well Construction |
| • |
Our well construction products and services support customers’ new wellbore drilling, wellbore completion and recompletion, and wellbore plug and abandonment requirements. In particular, we offer advanced technology solutions in drilling, tubular running services, cementing and tubulars. With a focus on innovation, we are continuing to advance the way wells are constructed by optimizing process efficiency on the rig floor, developing new methods to handle and install tubulars and mitigating well integrity risks. |
| Well Management |
Our well management offerings consist of well flow management, subsea well access and well intervention and integrity services:
| • |
Well flow management: We gather valuable well and reservoir data, with a particular focus on well-site safety and environmental impact. We provide global, comprehensive well flow management systems for the safe production, measurement and sampling of hydrocarbons from a well during the exploration and appraisal phase of a new field; the flowback and clean-up of a new well prior to production; and in-line testing of a well during its production life. We also provide early production facilities to accelerate production; production enhancement packages to enhance reservoir recovery rates through the realization of production that was previously locked within the reservoir; and metering and other well surveillance technologies to monitor and measure flow and other characteristics of wells. |
| • |
Subsea well access: With over 35 years of experience providing a wide range of fit-for-purpose subsea well access solutions, our technology aims to ensure safe well access and optimized production throughout the lifecycle of the well. We provide what we believe to be the most reliable, efficient and cost-effective subsea well access systems for exploration and appraisal, development, intervention and abandonment, including an extensive portfolio of standard and bespoke Subsea Test Tree Assemblies, a rig-deployed Intervention Riser System and a vessel-deployed, wire through water Riserless Well Intervention System. We also provide systems integration and project management services. |
| • |
Well intervention and integrity: We provide well intervention solutions to acquire and interpret well data, ensure well bore integrity and improve production. In addition to our extensive fleet of mechanical and cased hole wireline units, we have recently introduced a number of cost-effective, innovative well intervention services, including CoilHose™, a lightweight, small-footprint solution for wellbore lifting, cleaning and chemical treatments; Octopoda™, for fluid treatments in wellbore annuli; and Galea™, an autonomous well intervention solution. We also possess several other distinct technical capabilities, including non-intrusive metering technologies and wireless telemetry systems for reservoir monitoring. |
We operate a global business and have a diverse and stable customer base that is comprised of national oil companies (“NOC”), international oil companies (“IOC”), independent exploration and production companies (“Independents”) and service partners. We have strong relationships with a number of the world’s largest NOCs and IOCs, some of which have been our customers for decades. We are dedicated to safely and sustainably delivering maximum value to our customers.
We organize and manage our operations on a geographical basis. Our reporting structure and the key financial information used by our management team is organized around our four operating segments: (i) North and Latin America (“NLA”), (ii) Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (“ESSA”), (iii) Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) and (iv) Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).
How We Generate Our Revenue
Our revenue is derived primarily from providing well construction, well flow management, subsea well access and well intervention and integrity services and solutions to operators globally. Our revenue includes equipment service charges, personnel charges, run charges and consumables. Some of our contracts allow us to charge for additional deliverables, such as the costs of mobilization of people and equipment and customer specific engineering costs associated with a project. We also procure products and services on behalf of our customers that are provided by third parties for which we are reimbursed with a mark-up or in connection with an integrated services contract. We also design, manufacture and sell equipment, which is typically done in connection with a related operations and maintenance arrangement with a particular customer. In addition, we also generate revenue from the sale of certain well construction products.
Market Conditions and Price of Oil and Gas
The third quarter of 2022 has continued to show positive signs of recovery in the market following the impact of the pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine. There are a number of market factors that have had, and may continue to have, an effect on our business, including:
| • |
The market for energy services and our business are substantially dependent on the price of oil and, to a lesser extent, the regional price of gas, which are both driven by market supply and demand. Changes in oil and gas prices impact customer willingness to spend on exploration and appraisal, development, production and abandonment activities. The extent of the impact of a change in oil and gas prices on these activities varies extensively between geographic regions, types of customers, types of activities and the financial returns of individual projects. |
| • |
Oil demand in 2022 is forecasted to exceed 2021 as the overall economic backdrop improves with liquid demand estimated to surpass annualized 2019 levels in 2023. Brent prices remained volatile during the third quarter of 2022, with the average Brent oil price trending downwards as a result of a slowdown in demand growth and increasing supply from members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and certain other oil producing nations (“OPEC+”) following the announced production increases in July and August coupled with the ongoing release of barrels from strategic petroleum reserves. |
| • |
Activity related to gas production and associated asset development is accelerating in the North Sea, Sub-Saharan Africa and MENA as a result of Russian gas supply shortfalls and Europe’s drive to diversify away from its reliance on Russian pipeline gas supplies over the long term. |
| • |
Following the multi-year underinvestment in new reserves, Expro and other energy service companies expect that operators will increase activity levels in exploration and development in 2023 and beyond, while maintaining fiscal discipline. |
| • |
Activity levels are not expected to be uniform across geo-markets or type of activity, and international and deepwater activity is expected to continue to improve during the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023. We also expect that the demand for services related to brownfield and production enhancement and infield development programs will continue to increase. In addition, we anticipate an increase in demand for early production facilities, especially in support of natural gas and liquified natural gas (“LNG”) developments. |
| • |
The clean energy transition continues to gain momentum. Hydrocarbons, however, will continue to play a vital role in the transition towards more sustainable energy resources, and the existing expertise and future innovation within the energy services sector, both to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, will be critical. We are already active in the early-stage carbon capture and storage segment and have expertise and established operations within the geothermal and flare reduction segments. We continue to develop technologies to enhance the sustainability of our customers’ operations which, along with our digital transformation initiatives, are expected to enable us to continue to support our customers’ commercial and environmental initiatives. As the industry changes, we continue to evolve our approach to adapt and help our customers address the energy transition. |
| • |
Increased expectations of host countries in regard to local content is another multi-year trend that gained additional momentum in recent years. Our commitment to developing local capabilities and in-country personnel has reduced our dependence on international staff and also allowed us to mitigate some of the operational challenges associated with travel restrictions related to COVID-19. These efforts have enabled us to continue to service our customers in their ongoing operations throughout the pandemic. |
Outlook
Demand continues to improve in the face of near term volatile oil prices, and activity in 2022 is forecasted to be higher than in 2021, with oil demand forecast to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) estimates that global liquid fuels consumption will grow to 99.6 million barrels per day (“b/d”) in 2022, up from 97.4 million b/d in 2021, rising to 101.0 million b/d in 2023 (which would surpass 2019 levels of 100.8 million b/d). The EIA expects continued OPEC+ production growth, despite the recent announcement of a 2 million b/d supply target cut, with production averaging 28.6 million b/d in 2022 (up 2.3 million b/d from 2021). The OPEC+ reduction along with further supply disruption risks from Libya and Russia are expected to outweigh strong growth in U.S. oil production in 2022 (expected to rise to 11.7 million b/d in 2022 and 12.4 million b/d in 2023, which would be the highest annual average U.S. crude oil production on record). As a result, the EIA has increased its forecast for Brent crude oil spot prices to an average of $102 per barrel in 2022 and $95 per barrel in 2023 compared to an average $71 per barrel in 2021.
In addition to the improving oil market outlook, global natural gas demand continues to increase due to a combination of sustained economic activity, energy security concerns in Europe, lower inventory in storage, and continued strong demand for LNG in Europe to replace Russian pipeline gas.
The EIA expects Henry Hub spot prices to further increase to an average of $7.40 per million British thermal unit (“MMBtu”) in the fourth quarter of 2022, before falling below $6.00/MMBtu in 2023 as U.S. natural gas production rises. Rystad forecasts the European and Asian LNG spot price to trade at approximately $45/MMBtu and $38/MMBtu, respectively, in 2022 with upward pricing pressures over the next two years as a result of lost Russian volumes and limited supplies of LNG until new import terminals planned for the EU come online.
The outlook for the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023 indicates a continuing recovery in exploration and production expenditures, with growth maintained in shale / tight oil led by the U.S. land markets, increasing offshore activity driven by Latin America and deepwater exploration in Africa, and significant investments in incremental capacity in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, in order to offset the decline in Russian gas supply.
As a result, we expect demand for our services and solutions to continue to trend positively during the fourth quarter of 2022 and into 2023.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use a number of financial and operational measures to routinely analyze and evaluate the performance of our business, including Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion.
Revenue: We analyze our performance by comparing actual monthly revenue by operating segments and areas of capabilities to our internal projections for each month. Our revenue is primarily derived from well construction, well flow management, subsea well access and well intervention and integrity solutions.
Adjusted EBITDA: We regularly evaluate our financial performance using Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial performance measure as it excludes non-cash charges and other transactions not related to our core operating activities and allows more meaningful analysis of the trends and performance of our core operations.
Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations: We regularly evaluate our operating cash flow performance using Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations. Our management believes Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations is a useful tool to measure the operating cash performance of the Company as it excludes exceptional payments, interest payments and non-cash charges not related to our core operating activities and allows more meaningful analysis of the trends and performance of our core operations.
Cash Conversion: We regularly evaluate our efficiency of generating cash from operations using Cash Conversion which provides a useful tool to measure Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable liquidity measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Executive Overview
Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022
Certain highlights of our financial results and other key developments include:
|
|
||
| • |
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $20.8 million, or 6.6%, to $334.4 million, compared to $313.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was driven by higher activity across all our segments, most notably in ESSA which contributed approximately $9.7 million towards the increase in revenue during the current quarter. Revenue for our segments is discussed separately below under the heading “Operating Segment Results.” |
|
|
|
||
| • |
We reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $17.6 million, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The overall increase in net loss was primarily due to higher commissioning costs on a large subsea project, as well as higher severance and other expense, higher foreign exchange losses and an increase in income tax expense by $5.8 million, partially offset by a more favorable product mix and lower corporate costs during the quarter. | |
|
|
||
| • |
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $2.9 million, or 5.7%, to $48.2 million from $51.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 14.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 16.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to higher start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by a combination of more favorable product mix and lower support cost as a result of merger-related synergies. Excluding $16.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of such start-up and commissioning costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $65.0 million and $55.2 million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 19.4% and 17.6%, respectively. | |
|
|
||
| • |
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, with the change primarily driven by dividend receipts of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 that did not recur during the current quarter. Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $8.3 million and 17%, respectively, compared to $9.6 million and 19%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. |
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021
Certain highlights of our financial results and other key developments include:
| • |
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $398.4 million, or 75.1%, to $928.5 million, compared to $530.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior period, $363.0 million is attributable to the Merger with the addition of well construction revenue. The remaining increase in revenue was driven by higher well management revenue. We have observed higher activity across all our geography-based operating segments. Revenue for our segments is discussed separately below under the heading “Operating Segment Results.” |
|
|
|
||
| • |
We reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $33.1 million, compared to a net loss of $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The overall decrease in net loss was primarily driven by increased revenue and Adjusted EBITDA due to a combination of the impact of the Merger and higher activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense by $25.4 million, an increase in stock-based compensation expense by $14.9 million, higher tax expense of $21.2 million, lower merger and integration costs of $10.5 million and start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project in the current period. |
|
|
|

| • |
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $60.8 million, or 80.6%, to $136.2 million from $75.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The overall increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a combination of the impact of the Merger and higher activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project during the current period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 14.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 14.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a combination of more favorable product mix and lower support cost as a result of merger-related synergies, partially offset by start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project in the current period. Excluding $22.9 million of such start-up and commissioning costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $159.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 17.1%. |
|
|
|

| • |
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $12.8 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in working capital and higher tax, merger and integration, and severance payments during the current period as compared to the same period in the previous year. Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $16.4 million and 12%, respectively, compared to $24.2 million and 32%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We include in this Form 10-Q the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion. We provide reconciliations of net loss, the most directly comparable financial performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA. We also provide a reconciliation of Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable liquidity measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion are used as supplemental financial measures by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others. These non-GAAP financial measures allow our management and others to assess our financial and operating performance as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to the effects of our capital structure, asset base, items outside the control of management and other charges outside the normal course of business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for (a) income tax expense (benefit), (b) depreciation and amortization expense, (c) impairment expense, (d) severance and other expense, net, (e) stock-based compensation expense, (f) merger and integration expense, (g) gain on disposal of assets, (h) other income, net, (i) interest and finance (income) expense, net and (j) foreign exchange (gain) loss. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
We define Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities adjusted for cash paid during the period for interest, net, severance and other expense and merger and integration expense. We define Cash Conversion as Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. As Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations and Cash Conversion may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2022
NLA
Revenue for the NLA segment was $134.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $4.9 million, or 3.8%, compared to $129.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher well construction product sales in the U.S., higher well construction services revenue in the U.S. and Mexico, and higher well flow management services revenue in Canada from increased customer activities, partially offset by lower well flow management revenue in the U.S. and lower well construction revenue in Guyana.
Segment EBITDA for the NLA segment was $39.7 million, or 29.5% of revenues, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $38.5 million or 29.7% of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $1.2 million in Segment EBITDA was attributable to higher activity during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
ESSA
Revenue for the ESSA segment was $99.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $9.7 million, or 10.8%, compared to $90.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by higher subsea well access revenue in Azerbaijan and Angola and higher well flow management revenue in the United Kingdom and Nigeria due to increased customer activities. The increase in revenues was partially offset by lower subsea well access revenue in the United Kingdom.
Segment EBITDA for the ESSA segment was $17.8 million, or 17.8% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.9 million, or 19.5%, compared to $14.9 million, or 16.5% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $2.9 million was primarily attributable to higher activity levels and a more favorable activity mix during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
MENA
Revenue for the MENA segment was $50.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $4.6 million, or 10.1%, compared to $45.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was driven by higher well flow management revenue in Saudi Arabia and Algeria.
Segment EBITDA for the MENA segment was $14.7 million, or 29.3% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.9 million, or 6.7%, compared to $13.8 million, or 30.3% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher activity.
APAC
Revenue for the APAC segment was $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.1%, compared to $48.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher subsea well access revenue in Australia, China and Indonesia and higher well construction revenue in Japan. The increase in revenue was partially offset by lower equipment sales related to well flow management services in Malaysia.
Segment EBITDA for the APAC segment was $(8.6) million, or (17.3)% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $13.0 million compared to $4.4 million, or 9.0% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The reduction in Segment EBITDA despite the increase in revenues was primarily due to $16.8 million in start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as well as lower activity on higher margin contracts. Excluding $16.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of such start-up and commissioning costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, Segment EBITDA would have been $8.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and Segment EBITDA margin would have been 16.3% and 17.4%, respectively.
Merger and integration expense
Merger and integration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $0.6 million, to $1.6 million as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower legal and other professional fees related to the Merger incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $5.8 million to $15.4 million from $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to changes in the mix of taxable profits between jurisdictions, in particular increased taxable profits in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, and an increase in withholding taxes in various jurisdictions.

Revenue for the NLA segment was $368.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $275.3 million, or 296.7%, compared to $92.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total increase of $275.3 million, $236.8 million was attributable to the Merger, reflecting well construction revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining increase of $38.6 million was attributable to the higher well intervention and integrity revenue in Argentina and Brazil during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Segment EBITDA for the NLA segment was $100.1 million, or 27.2% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $11.1 million or 12.0% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $89.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a combination of the impact of the Merger and higher activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Further, the Segment EBITDA margin increase was due to fall-through from incremental revenue, a more favorable activity mix and lower support costs as a result of merger-related synergies.
ESSA
Revenue for the ESSA segment was $272.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $65.8 million, or 31.9%, compared to $206.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Merger contributed an increase of $82.5 million, reflecting well construction revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, well intervention and integrity services revenue was higher during the current period in the United Kingdom and Mozambique due to increased customer activities. This increase was partially offset by lower well flow management business activity in Nigeria due to a large production equipment sale that did not recur during the current period and lower well flow management services revenue in Norway from reduced customer activities.
Segment EBITDA for the ESSA segment was $44.5 million, or 16.4% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $33.5 million, or 16.2% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $11.0 million, primarily due to the impact of the Merger. Segment EBITDA margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 remained relatively flat compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
MENA
Revenue for the MENA segment was $146.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $24.4 million, or 20.1%, compared to $121.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total increase of $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $18.9 million was attributable to the Merger reflecting the well construction revenue during the period, and the remaining increase was primarily driven by well flow management equipment sales in Saudi Arabia and higher well flow management revenue in Algeria, partially offset by lower activity in the United Arab Emirates.
Segment EBITDA for the MENA segment was $43.9 million, or 30.0% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $40.2 million or 33.1% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a combination of the impact of the Merger and higher activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reduction in Segment EBITDA margin was primarily due to lower activity on higher margin contracts and a less favorable activity mix.
APAC
Revenue for the APAC segment was $142.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $32.8 million, or 30.0%, compared to $109.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of the total increase of $32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $24.8 million was attributable to the Merger with the addition of well construction revenue during the period, and the remaining increase was primarily attributable to higher subsea well access and well flow management revenue in Australia and Malaysia, partially offset by lower well flow management revenue in Thailand.
Segment EBITDA for the APAC segment was $1.2 million, or 0.8% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $21.2 million, or 19.4% of revenues, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The reduction in Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA margin was primarily due to $22.9 million in start-up and commissioning costs incurred on a large subsea project during the nine months ended September 30,2022 (there were no similar costs recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2021), lower activity on higher margin contracts and a resulting less favorable activity mix. Excluding $22.9 million of such start-up and commissioning costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Segment EBITDA would have been $24.1 million and Segment EBITDA margin would have been 17.0%.
Stock-based compensation expense
Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $14.9 million. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The expense for the current period primarily relates to our Long-Term Incentive Plan which was not present during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, the current period also includes expense related to stock options under the Legacy Expro’s Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”). No expense was recognized under the MIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as the performance conditions within the stock option agreements were deemed to be improbable.
Merger and integration expense
Merger and integration expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $10.5 million to $8.6 million as compared to $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower legal and other professional fees related to the Merger incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our financial objectives include the maintenance of sufficient liquidity, adequate financial resources and financial flexibility to fund our business. As of September 30, 2022, total available liquidity was $286.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $156.7 million and $130.0 million available for borrowings under our New Facility. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations. Our primary uses of capital have been for capital expenditures and acquisitions. We monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, in order to meet our investment and liquidity requirements.
Our total capital expenditures are estimated to range between $30 million and $40 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Our total capital expenditures were $50.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of which approximately 90% were used for the purchase and manufacture of equipment to directly support customer-related activities and approximately 10% for other property, plant and equipment, inclusive of software costs. In addition, we used $8.0 million of cash during the first nine months to acquire technology to enhance our well intervention and integrity business. Total capital expenditures were $53.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which were generally used for equipment required to provide services in connection with awarded contracts. We continue to focus on preserving and protecting our strong balance sheet, optimizing utilization of our existing assets and, where practical, limiting new capital expenditures.
On June 16, 2022, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a new stock repurchase program, under which we are authorized to acquire up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock through November 24, 2023 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Stock Repurchase Program will be utilized at management’s discretion and in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws. The timing and actual numbers of shares repurchased in the future, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate requirements, the constraints specified in the Stock Repurchase Program along with general business and market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it could be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 1.1 million shares at an average price of $11.81 per share, for a total cost of $13.0 million under this $50.0 million program.
Credit Facility
Revolving Credit Facility
On October 1, 2021, in connection with the closing of the Merger, we entered into a new revolving credit facility (the “New Facility”) with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch, as agent (the “Agent”), with total commitments of $200.0 million, of which $130.0 million was available for drawdowns as loans and $70.0 million was available for letters of credit. Subject to the terms of the New Facility, we had the ability to increase the commitments to $250.0 million. Proceeds of the New Facility may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
On March 31, 2022, the Agent, on behalf of the consenting lenders, countersigned a Consent Request Letter dated March 10, 2022 to the New Facility (the “Consent”). Pursuant to the Consent, the lenders consented to, among other things, an amendment to the New Facility permitting dividends or distributions by the Company, or the repurchase or redemption of the Company’s shares in an aggregate amount of $50.0 million over the life of the New Facility, subject to pro forma compliance with the 2.25 to 1.0 maximum senior leverage ratio financial covenant.
On July 28, 2022, the Company and the lenders increased the total commitments available for letters of credit under the New Facility by $18.0 million to $88.0 million. Total commitments available for drawdowns as loans under the New Facility remains $130.0 million.

Analysis of cash flow changes between the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $12.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net cash used in operating activities of $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net working capital of $62.1 million, higher tax payments of $8.6 million and higher payments for merger and integration and severance expense of $5.5 million, partially offset by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $60.7 million and an increase in dividends from joint ventures of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Adjusted cash flows from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $16.4 million as compared to Adjusted cash flows from operations of $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities were capital expenditures and funding obligations related to our financing arrangements.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $40.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $53.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $12.9 million. Our principal recurring investing activity is our capital expenditures. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to proceeds from sale / maturity of investments of $11.4 million, proceeds from disposal of assets of $6.6 million and reduction in capital expenditures of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by an acquisition of technology of $8.0 million during the current period.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $23.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $22.1 million in net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a repurchase of common stock of $13.0 million, payments of payroll withholding taxes on stock-based compensation plans of $4.1 million and financed insurance premium of $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
New accounting pronouncements

Critical accounting policies and estimates
There were no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements include information regarding our future plans and goals and our current expectations with respect to, among other things:
| ● |
our business strategy and prospects for growth; |
| ● |
post-Merger integration; |
| ● |
our cash flows and liquidity; |
| ● |
our financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results; |
| ● |
the amount and timing of any future share repurchases; |
| ● |
the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures; |
| ● |
the availability and terms of capital; |
| ● |
the exploration, development and production activities of our customers; |
| ● |
the market for our existing and future products and services; |
| ● |
competition and government regulations; and |
| ● |
general economic and political conditions, including political tensions, conflicts and war (such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine). |
These forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “plan,” “intend,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “may,” “outlook,” or other terms that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● |
uncertainty relating to global crude oil demand and crude oil prices that correspondingly may lead to significant reductions in oil and gas activity, which in turn could result in significant declines in demand for our products and services; |
| ● |
uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the remaining restrictions in the United States and globally on various commercial and economic activities due to COVID-19, including uncertainty regarding the re-imposition of restrictions due to resurgences in infection rates; |
| ● |
uncertainty regarding the timing, pace and extent of an economic recovery in the United States and elsewhere, which in turn will likely affect demand for crude oil and therefore the demand for the products and services we provide and the commercial opportunities available to us; |
| ● |
the impact of current and future laws, rulings, governmental regulations, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations; |
| ● |
unique risks associated with our offshore operations; |
| ● |
political, economic and regulatory uncertainties in our international operations, including the impact of actions taken by OPEC+ with respect to production levels and the effects thereof; |
| ● |
our ability to develop new technologies and products; |
| ● |
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; |
| ● |
our ability to attract, train and retain key employees and other qualified personnel; |
| ● |
operational safety laws and regulations; |
| ● |
international trade laws and sanctions; |
| ● |
severe weather conditions and natural disasters, and other operating interruptions (including explosions, fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, spills and releases and other environmental risks); |
| ● |
policy or regulatory changes; |
| ● |
the overall timing and level of transition of the global energy sector from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption to more renewable energy sources; |
| ● |
perception related to our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) performance as well as current and future ESG reporting requirements; and |
| ● |
uncertainty with respect to integration and realization of expected synergies following completion of the Merger. |
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic, business and market disruptions continue to evolve, and its future effects are uncertain. The continued impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business will depend on many factors, many of which are beyond management’s control and knowledge. It is therefore difficult for management to assess or predict with accuracy the broad future effects of this health crisis on the global economy, the energy industry or the Company’s business. As additional information becomes available, events or circumstances change and strategic and/or operational decisions are made by management, further adjustments may be required which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
These and other important factors that could affect our operating results and performance are described in (1) “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, and elsewhere within this Form 10-Q, (2) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2022 (our “Annual Report”), (3) our other reports and filings we make with the SEC from time to time and (4) other announcements we make from time to time. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in the documents above or in this Form 10-Q occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance, achievements or plans could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
| a) |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the three months covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level.
| b) |
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
Except as described below, the Company’s management, has determined that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting during the three months covered by this quarterly report.
As described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Merger was completed on October 1, 2021, and represented a change in internal control over financial reporting. Management continues to consolidate and integrate the Company’s system of controls. The processes and controls for significant areas including business combinations, intangibles and goodwill valuations, income taxes, treasury, consolidations and the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures, and entity level controls have been substantially impacted by the ongoing integration activities. The primary changes in these areas are related to the consolidation of process owner leadership and control owners, and where required, the modification of inputs, processes and associated systems. For all areas of change noted, management believes the control design and implementation thereof are being appropriately modified to address underlying risks. The above ongoing integration activities to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting in 2022.
Please see Note 17 “Commitments and contingencies” in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
