CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor 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 Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate 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,” “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 risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are significant or beyond our control) 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 are those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and include the following:

•The impact of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), including the disruption of management’s attention from ongoing operations, an inability to complete the Merger (as defined below) due to failure to obtain required regulatory approvals or satisfy other closing conditions, the risk that if the Merger is not completed, the market price of our common stock could decline, the risk that we may not be able to retain key personnel, the impact on our relationships with our customers and suppliers, the impact on our operations, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement.

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

•Cost inflation and availability of raw materials;

•The impact of inflation on wholesale product costs, labor rates, transportation costs, and on our customers’ financial position and ability to purchase our products;

•Global economic conditions, geopolitical issues, supply chain disruptions, and availability and cost of credit, and the impact thereof on our operations and those of our customers and suppliers;

•Changes in the amount of or types of products and services our customers buy from us due to their decreased spending or demand changes that could reduce our revenues or profit margin;

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

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

•Our ability to successfully execute potential acquisitions and integrate acquired businesses;

•Potential liabilities arising out of the installation, use or manufacturing of our products or from a chemical spill, release or other hazard;

•Manufacturing disruptions, particularly with respect to our chemical products, including as a result of fires, explosions and chemical spills, releases or discharges;

•Continuing consolidation within our customers’ industry;

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

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

•Risks relating to improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners;

•Failure to attract, retain and develop personnel;

•The impact of natural disasters and other unusual weather conditions on our business;

•Investor sentiment towards companies in the oil and gas industry due to climate change, fossil fuels and other environmental, social and governance matters;

•Changes in domestic and foreign governmental public policies and actions of governments that impact oil and gas operations or favor renewable energy projects, risks associated with entry into emerging markets, changes in statutory tax rates and unanticipated outcomes with respect to tax audits;

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

•Fluctuations in currency markets worldwide;

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

•Disruptions in the capital and credit markets;

•The impact of war, terrorism and civil unrest;

•Risks relating to information technology and cybersecurity, including the potential for cyberattacks or security breaches that could disrupt our or our partners’ or suppliers’ operations, compromise confidential or otherwise protected information, damage our reputation, expose us to legal liability, or cause financial losses;

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

•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; and

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

We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update, revise or correct 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 under the federal securities laws.

On April 2, 2024, ChampionX entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Schlumberger Limited, a Curaçao corporation (“SLB”), Sodium Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB, (“Holdco”), and Sodium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SLB and Holdco (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ChampionX (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with ChampionX surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and by virtue of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ChampionX issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of ChampionX common stock held in the treasury of ChampionX or held by SLB, Holdco or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB, in each case except for any such shares held on behalf of third parties) will be converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right to receive 0.735 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SLB (“SLB Common Stock”), which shares will be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable laws (the “Equity Consideration”) and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of ChampionX and SLB. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including the termination (1) by either party if certain Mutual Legal Restraints (as defined below) exist, specified regulatory approvals have not been obtained or if the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or prior to April 2, 2025 (subject to an automatic extension to October 2, 2025 under specified circumstances) and the parties will have satisfied conditions to the Merger (subject to certain exceptions) or (2) by SLB under specified circumstances, SLB would be required to pay ChampionX a termination fee of $326.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded third party legal and professional fees of $23.4 million in connection with the Merger Agreement with SLB. These costs are reflected in selling, general and administrative expense within our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

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, 2024.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to “Note 1–Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for the discussion of our significant accounting policies.

New Accounting Standards Issued

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires a public business entity to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. A significant segment expense is an expense that is significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, and included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” which requires a public business entity to disclose disaggregated information about the entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts for specific standardized categories. Separate disclosures will be required for any reconciling items that are equal to or greater than a specified quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

NOTE 2—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reporting segments are:

(1) Corporate and other includes costs not directly attributable or allocated to our reportable segments such as overhead and other costs pertaining to corporate executive management and other administrative functions, and the results attributable to our noncontrolling interest. Additionally, the sales and expenses related to the Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement with Ecolab, Inc. (“Ecolab”) were included within Corporate and other from June 3, 2020, the date of the merger in which we acquired the Chemical Technologies business, through June 30, 2023. Beginning, July 1, 2023, these sales and expenses are recognized in the Production Chemical Technologies segment.

NOTE 3—REVENUE

Our revenue is generated primarily from product sales. Service revenue is generated from providing services to our customers. These services include installation, repair and maintenance, laboratory and logistics services, chemical management services, troubleshooting, reporting, water treatment services, technical advisory assistance, emissions detection and monitoring, and other field services. Lease revenue is derived from rental income of leased production equipment. As our costs are shared across the various revenue categories, cost of goods sold is not tracked separately and is not discretely identifiable.

In certain geographical areas, the Company utilizes joint ventures and independent third-party distributors and sales agents to sell and market products and services. Amounts payable to independent third-party distributors and sales agents may fluctuate based on sales and timing of distributor fee payments. For services rendered by such independent third-party distributors and sales agents, the Company records the consideration received on a net basis within product revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, amounts owed to distributors and sales agents are reported within accrued distributor fees within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue disaggregated by geography was as follows:

_______________________

(1) Includes the mandatory amortization payments due within twelve months related to the 2022 Term Loan Facility as of September 30, 2024.

On June 7, 2022, we entered into a restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates the prior credit agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $625.0 million seven-year senior secured term loan B facility (the “2022 Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million, of which $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility,” and, together with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Proceeds from future borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The initial amount drawn under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility has been repaid. As of September 30, 2024, we had no amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

The 2022 Term Loan Facility matures June 7, 2029 and the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility matures June 7, 2027. The 2022 Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory amortization payments of 1% per annum of the initial commitment paid quarterly, which began on December 30, 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default for loan facilities of this type. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2024.

On September 29, 2023, we amended the Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, reprice the Company’s $620.3 million of existing term loans under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, in connection with which new term loans in the same amount were issued. The new term loans bear interest at a per annum rate of (i) an adjusted SOFR Rate plus 2.75% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. The new term loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs in the case of the SOFR rate loans.

On June 29, 2022, the Company executed a five-year amortizing floating-to-fixed interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to increases in variable interest rates on the 2022 Term Loan Facility. This interest rate swap agreement is based on a $300.0 million notional amount for the first three years, reducing to $150.0 million for years four and five. See Note 11—Fair Value Measurements and Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Transactions for additional information on interest rate swaps.

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to, among other things, workers’ compensation, general liability (including product liability), automobile claims, health care claims, environmental matters, and lawsuits. We record liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In accordance with applicable GAAP, the Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have provided indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including 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.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $78.7 million and $70.7 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees, which expire at various dates through 2039. 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, surety bonds, and guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote.

Litigation and Environmental Matters

The Company is party to various proceedings and claims incidental to its business, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. We review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and accrued to date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We accrue a liability for legal matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company is currently participating in environmental assessments and remediation at approximately eight locations, the majority of which are in the United States (“U.S.”). Environmental liabilities have been accrued to reflect our best estimate of future costs. Potential insurance reimbursements are not anticipated in the Company’s accruals for environmental liabilities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, environmental liability accruals related to these locations were $5.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Prior to the commencement of our operations as an independent publicly traded company in 2018, groundwater contamination was discovered at the Norris Sucker Rods plant site located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Initial remedial efforts were undertaken at the time of discovery of the contamination and we have since coordinated monitoring and remediation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (“ODEQ”) ODEQ approved our long-term remediation plan, prepared in connection with an engineering and consulting firm engaged for this purpose and we have accrued liabilities of approximately

$1.7 million for this remediation plan. We are now in discussion with ODEQ to finalize a consent order and we cannot fully anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of further remedial activities that may be required in a final order, financial or otherwise. Liabilities could increase in the future until such time as we ultimately reach agreement with ODEQ on our remediation plan in a final consent order and such liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated; however, there have been no changes to our estimated liability as of September 30, 2024.

Matters Related to Deepwater Horizon Incident Response

On April 22, 2010, the deepwater drilling platform, the Deepwater Horizon, operated by a subsidiary of BP plc, sank in the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion and fire, resulting in a massive oil spill. Certain entities that are now subsidiaries of ChampionX as a result of the acquisition of the Chemical Technologies business in 2020 (collectively the “COREXIT Defendants”) supplied COREXIT™ 9500, an oil dispersant product listed on the U.S. EPA National Contingency Plan Product Schedule, which was

used in the response to the spill. In connection with the provision of COREXIT™ 9500, the COREXIT Defendants were named in several lawsuits. Cases arising out of the Deepwater Horizon accident were administratively transferred and consolidated for pre-trial purposes under In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010, Case No. 10-md-02179 in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana (E.D. La.) (“MDL 2179”). Claims related to the response to the oil spill were consolidated in a master complaint captioned the “B3 Master Complaint.” In 2011, Transocean Deepwater Drilling, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Transocean Entities”) named the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated companies as first party defendants (In re the Complaint and Petition of Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, et al, MDL No. 2179, Civil Action 10-2771). In April and May 2011, the Transocean Entities, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively, the “Cross Claimants”) filed cross claims in MDL 2179 against the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated cross defendants. In April and June 2011, in support of its defense of the claims against it, the COREXIT Defendants filed counterclaims against the Cross Claimants. On May 18, 2012, the COREXIT Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims in the B3 Master Complaint. On November 28, 2012, the Court granted the COREXIT Defendants’ motion and dismissed with prejudice the claims in the B3 Master Complaint asserted against the COREXIT Defendants. In February 2024, the remaining claims against other defendants in the one pending “B3” case that had asserted claims against the COREXIT Defendants were dismissed and a final judgment was entered. The deadline for that plaintiff to appeal any rulings in that case, including the MDL 2179 Court’s order granting Nalco’s motion for summary judgment, expired on March 11, 2024. As a result, all claims against the Company related to the Deepwater Horizon accident have been dismissed and this matter is now concluded as to the Company.

NOTE 7—RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE

During the second quarter of 2024, management approved restructuring plans within our Production & Automation Technologies segment and Production Chemical Technologies segment to optimize profitability, which includes the exit of certain products, facility closures, and reducing headcount across the organization to support the remaining business. The actions were completed under the second quarter plans during the third quarter. Additionally, management approved a restructuring plan during the third quarter of 2024 related to a workforce reduction within our Production Chemical Technologies segment. We expect the completion of all actions under the plan by the fourth quarter of 2024.

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Dividends

On January 31, 2024, our Board of Directors (“Board”) approved an increase of our regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.095 per share of the Company’s common stock. Our third quarter cash dividend of $0.095 per share was declared on August 15, 2024 and is payable on October 25, 2024, to shareholders of record on October 4, 2024. As a result, we recorded a dividend payable of $19.0 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. Subsequent dividend declarations, if any, including the amounts and timing of future dividends, are subject to approval by the Board and will depend on future business conditions, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors.

Repurchases

On March 7, 2022, the Company announced that our Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock which was increased by our Board to $750 million on October 24, 2022. On January 31, 2024, our Board authorized a further increase in the aggregate value of shares that may be repurchased under the share repurchase program to $1.5 billion. This program has no time limit and does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares of its common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares under the share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased and cancelled 1,611,055 shares of common stock for a total of $49.4 million, including commissions and excise tax.

NOTE 9—EARNINGS PER SHARE

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


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income attributable to ChampionX	$	72,008	$	77,711	$	237,500	$	237,040

Weighted-average number of shares outstanding	190,496		195,881		190,575		197,058
Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation	2,866		3,711		3,080		3,967
Total shares and dilutive securities	193,362		199,592		193,655		201,025

Earnings per share attributable to ChampionX:
Basic	$	0.38	$	0.40	$	1.25	$	1.20
Diluted	$	0.37	$	0.39	$	1.23	$	1.18

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes awards with an anti-dilutive impact. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the diluted shares include the dilutive impact of equity awards except for approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively, that were excluded because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the diluted shares include the dilutive impact of equity awards except for approximately 0.2 million shares and 0.4 million shares, respectively, that were excluded because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10—ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND SALE LEASEBACK

Acquisitions

OTS Consulting Services LLP

On January 5, 2024, pursuant to an agreement with OTS Consulting Services LLP (“OTS”), a privately held engineering services company based in Pune, India, we acquired the assets and liabilities relating solely to the services performed by OTS for us prior to the acquisition. OTS specializes in digital transformation and advanced IT solutions. The acquired assets and liabilities are included in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $8.7 million, inclusive of working capital adjustments. As part of our purchase price allocation, we recorded goodwill of $6.4 million. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on revenue and net income has been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements.

Artificial Lift Performance Limited

On February 26, 2024, we acquired Artificial Lift Performance Limited (“ALP”), a provider of advanced analytics solutions for enhancing oil and gas production performance based in Edinburgh, Scotland. These assets and liabilities have been included in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. Under the terms of the agreements, we paid $13.4 million, inclusive of working capital adjustments, with an additional $1.7 million payable on the first anniversary of the closing date, and a maximum earn out potential of $3.0 million over the next two years. As part of our purchase price allocation, we recorded definite-lived intangible assets of $10.4 million which consists of assumed software, trademarks and customer relationships and recorded $9.4 million of goodwill, which is inclusive of purchase price accounting adjustments. In addition, we assumed liabilities of $7.6 million, which includes the holdback payment and earn-out consideration. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on revenue and net income has been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements.

RMSpumptools Limited

On July 8, 2024, we completed the acquisition of RMSpumptools Limited, a UK-based company that designs and manufactures highly engineered mechanical and electrical solutions for complex artificial lift applications. The purpose of the acquisition is to create growth opportunities in the artificial lift business internationally and this business line will be included in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. We paid $106.1 million, and as part of our purchase price allocation, we recorded definite-lived intangible assets of $53.0 million, which consists of customer relationships, unpatented technology and trade names and recorded $45.0 million of goodwill, which is inclusive of purchase price accounting adjustments. In addition, we assumed liabilities of $29.0 million, which includes a $13.8 million deferred tax liability. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on revenue and net income has been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements.

The following table provides the initial allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date.


(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,262
Receivables	14,466
Inventories	15,168
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	484
Property, plant, and equipment	1,335
Identifiable intangible assets	53,000
Operating leases right-of-use asset	1,162
Other noncurrent assets	192
Total identifiable assets acquired	90,069
Accounts payable	6,342



Accrued compensation and employee benefits	3,261
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	4,296
Deferred income taxes	13,849
Operating lease liabilities	1,267
Total liabilities assumed	29,015
Net identifiable assets acquired	61,054
Goodwill	45,005
Total net assets acquired	$	106,059

The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair value estimates as of the acquisition date. The measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The excess of the purchase price over such fair values was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based upon a preliminary valuation only and will be finalized upon completion of certain valuation procedures. We will complete the purchase price allocation and valuation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date.

Divestitures

Russia

Due to the deteriorating business conditions in Russia following the Ukraine invasion and the resultant sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, and United Kingdom, we initiated a plan to dispose of our operations in Russia (the “CT Russia Business”), which is included in our Production Chemical Technologies segment. As a result, the CT Russia Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2022 and we measured the carrying value of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

We assess the fair value of the CT Russia Business (less any costs to sell) each reporting period that it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset or disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. During the first quarter of 2023, we assessed the fair value less cost to sell the business to be zero, resulting in a $13.0 million pre-tax impairment expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which is reflected in loss (gain) on disposal group

and sale-leaseback transaction within our condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no charges in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024.

Sale Leaseback

Orem, Utah

On March 29, 2024, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with an unrelated party involving three buildings in Orem, Utah. Under the arrangement, the property (land and buildings) with a net book value of $14.1 million was sold for $45.5 million and leased back under a twenty year lease agreement. We received cash of $44.3 million, net of closing costs and other fees related to the sale of the property. The lease provides for annual base payments of $3.3 million and expires in March 2044 with an option to extend the term of the lease for one additional seven-year period. The transaction qualifies as a sale leaseback, and as a result, we recorded a $29.8 million net gain on sale. Additionally, we established a $37.7 million right of use asset and $37.7 million operating lease liability.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets.

Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.

The carrying amount and the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:


		Carrying Amount
(in thousands)	Measurement Level	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Assets
Foreign currency forward contracts	Level 2	$	5,828	$	6,231
Interest rate swaps	Level 2	2,126		5,599
Total		$	7,954	$	11,830

Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts	Level 2	$	5,637	$	5,354
Interest rate swaps	Level 2	94		—
Total		$	5,731	$	5,354

The carrying value of foreign currency forward contracts is at fair value, which is determined based on foreign currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and is classified within Level 2. The primary inputs into the valuation of interest rate swaps are interest yield curves, interest rate volatility, and credit spreads. Our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as these significant inputs are corroborated by observable market data. For purposes of fair value disclosure above, derivative values are presented gross. See Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Transactions for further discussion of gross versus net presentation of the Company’s derivatives.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of our term loan facility is based on Level 2 quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments. The fair value of the revolving line of credit approximates carrying value due to the variable interest rates charged on the

borrowings, which reprice frequently (Level 2). The carrying amount and the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, held by the Company were:


	September 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
2022 Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
2022 Term Loan Facility	$	614,109	$	617,948	$	618,762	$	623,402

NOTE 12—DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also utilizes floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges on certain debt to mitigate interest rate risk. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. Derivative contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. We evaluated the interest rate swap hedge effectiveness and determined it to be perfectly effective. We evaluate foreign currency forward contracts’ hedge effectiveness at contract inception and thereafter on a quarterly basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot exchange rates for derivative contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings and are presented in the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company accounts for the interest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge, thus the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in AOCI and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective debt. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. We monitor our exposure to credit risk by using major banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitoring their financial condition and credit profile. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and therefore, recording a valuation allowance against the Company’s derivative balance is not considered necessary.

Derivative Positions Summary

Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to settle with the same counterparties. These arrangements generally do not call for collateral and as of the applicable dates presented in the following table, no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives. We have elected to present our derivative balances on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table summarizes the gross fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivatives and the lines in which they are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.


	Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities
(in thousands)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023		September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Notional value of foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps	$	959,792	$	892,711

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, primarily related to business combinations and inventory purchases. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in AOCI until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the gain or loss is reclassified into the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. The forward points are marked-to-market monthly and recognized in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged.

Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. Any unrealized gain or loss at the time of settlement will be reclassified to interest expense, where we record the interest expense on the associated debt.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset its exposure to the change in value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, which are remeasured at the end of each period. Although the contracts are effective economic hedges, they are not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in the value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income

The loss (gain) of all derivative instruments recognized is summarized below:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Loss (gain) reclassified from AOCI to income on cash flow hedges:
Cost of goods and services	$	(526)	$	(190)	$	(839)	$	(2,113)
Interest expense	(1,749)		(1,645)		(5,166)		(3,904)
Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Other (income) expense, net	1,112		778		(1,759)		3,125

NOTE 14—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACILITIES

On June 28, 2022, we entered into an uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreement (the “JPM Accounts Receivable Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the purchaser. The amount available for sale under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business. A maximum of $160.0 million in receivables may be sold and remain unpaid under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility at any time.

On March 28, 2024, we entered into an uncommitted accounts receivable purchase agreement (the “HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility” and, together with the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility, the “Accounts Receivable Facilities”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as the purchaser. The amount available for sale under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business. A maximum of CAD $40.0 million or approximately $30.0 million in receivables may be sold and remain unpaid under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility at any time.

Accounts receivable sold under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility were $513.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The accounts receivable sold that remained outstanding under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility as of September 30, 2024 was $97.0 million. Accounts receivable sold under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility were $59.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The accounts receivable sold that remained outstanding under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility as of September 30, 2024 was $23.2 million.

During this period, cash receipts from the purchaser at the time of the sale were classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the accounts receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The loss on sale of accounts receivable was $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility. The loss on sale of accounts receivable was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility.

Transfers under the Accounts Receivable Facilities are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being derecognized from our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign or transfer (including as a participation interest) any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution.

NOTE 15—SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE

We use a supply chain finance program in connection with the purchase of goods, which allows our suppliers to work directly with a third party to provide financing by purchasing their receivables earlier in the payment cycle. We maintain the same contractually agreed upon invoice terms prior to each supplier entering into the program. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $33.4 million outstanding under the program, which is included in accounts payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 16—CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Leased Asset Program

Our electrical submersible pumping leased asset program is reported in our Production & Automation Technologies segment. At the time of purchase, assets are recorded to inventory and are transferred to property, plant, and equipment when a customer contracts for an asset under our leased asset program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we transferred $80.7 million and $77.2 million, respectively, of inventory into property, plant, and equipment as a result of assets entering our leased asset program.

Expenditures for assets that are placed into our leased asset program expected to be recovered through sale are reported in leased assets in the operating section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. All other capitalizable expenditures for assets that are placed into our leased asset program are classified as capital expenditures in the investing section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Argentina Blue Chip Swap

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we executed certain trades known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in the use of a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate to convert available Argentine pesos to U.S. dollars. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure our net monetary assets in U.S. dollars under GAAP, was on average 27% and 29% higher than Argentina's official exchange during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Blue Chip Swap transactions resulted in $3.1 million and $7.1 million pre-tax loss on investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These losses are reflected in other expense (income), net, within our condensed consolidated statements of income. We did not enter into any Blue Chip Swaps during the third quarter of 2024.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

We are a global leader in chemistry solutions, artificial lift systems, and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely, efficiently, and sustainably around the world. Our expertise, innovative products, and digital technologies provide enhanced oil and gas production, transportation, and real-time emissions monitoring throughout the lifecycle of a well. Our business is organized into four reportable segments: Production Chemical Technologies, Production & Automation Technologies, Drilling Technologies, and Reservoir Chemical Technologies. We refer to the Production Chemical Technologies segment and Reservoir Chemical Technologies segment together as the Chemical Technologies business.

Business Environment

We monitor macro-economic conditions and industry-specific drivers and key risk factors affecting our business segments as we formulate our strategic plans and make decisions related to allocating capital and human resources. Our business segments provide a broad range of technologies and products to support oil and gas production, exploration and development, and the midstream sector. As a result, we are substantially dependent upon global oil production levels, as well as new investment activity levels in the oil and gas and midstream sectors. Demand for our products, technologies and services is impacted by overall global demand for oil and gas, ongoing depletion rates of existing oil and gas wells, and our customers’ willingness to invest in the exploration for and development of new oil and gas resources. Our customers determine their operating and capital budgets based on current and expected future crude oil and natural gas prices, U.S. and worldwide rig count, U.S. well completions and expected industry cost levels, among other factors. Crude oil and natural gas prices are impacted by supply and demand, which are influenced by macroeconomic, geopolitical, and other events, and have historically been subject to substantial volatility and cyclicality. Rig count, footage drilled and completed, and exploration and production investment by oil and gas operators have often been used as leading indicators for the level of drilling and development activity and future production levels in the oil and gas sector.

Market Conditions and Outlook

In recent years, oil prices have remained volatile due to various factors such as global economic growth, as well as oil supply constraints, geopolitical developments, and inflationary pressures. During the first three quarters of 2024, oil prices continued to rise, most likely driven by the perception of heightened geopolitical risk related to the attacks targeting commercial ships transiting the Red Sea shipping channel and elevated tensions in the Middle East region. In early October 2024, oil prices began to decline slightly driven by concerns over weaker than expected demand from China and the oil supply/demand outlook into 2025.

The OPEC+ voluntary production cuts extension through November 2024 is supportive of oil prices in the short term. However, in September 2024, OPEC+ announced a phase-out of the voluntary production cuts beginning December 2024 through the following 12 months. OPEC+ expects the gradual nature of the phase-out will not have a dramatic effect on supply and oil price in 2025. Thus, while commodity prices currently remain constructive overall, we believe we will continue to see volatility and variability in the global market. Additionally, in particular, the U.S. rig count has trended downward slightly during the first three quarters of 2024, and most U.S. public exploration and production operators appear to be continuing capital discipline and limiting capital expenditure and activity levels to production maintenance or modest growth levels in the short term.

Inflation rates have begun to moderate. Nonetheless, we continue to actively monitor market trends specifically related to the sourcing of raw materials. We also continue to work diligently to ensure selling prices offset the impact of raw material, labor, and logistics-related inflation on our businesses. Our productivity and continuous improvement initiatives are focused on delivering expanding profit margins in all our businesses.

Merger Agreement

On April 2, 2024, ChampionX entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Schlumberger Limited, a Curaçao corporation (“SLB”), Sodium Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB (“Holdco”), and Sodium Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SLB and Holdco (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into ChampionX (the “Merger,” together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with ChampionX surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and by virtue of the Merger, each share of ChampionX common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of ChampionX common stock held in the treasury of ChampionX or held by SLB, Holdco or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SLB, in each case except for any such shares held on behalf of third parties) will be converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into the right to receive 0.735 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SLB (“SLB Common Stock”), which shares will be duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with applicable laws (the “Equity Consideration”) and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among others: (a) adoption by ChampionX stockholders of the Merger Agreement; (b) the receipt of approval for listing of the shares of SLB Common Stock which will comprise Equity Consideration on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance; (c) the absence of certain legal restraints that enjoin, prohibit, prevent or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions (“Mutual Legal Restraint”); (d) the expiration or termination of all waiting periods applicable to the Transactions under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and any commitment to, or agreement with, any governmental entity to delay the consummation of, or not to consummate before a certain date, the Transactions and the receipt of all clearances, consents and approvals under certain specified regulatory laws; (e) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by SLB in connection with the issuance of the Equity Consideration, which will include a proxy statement of ChampionX (the “Form S-4”); (f) with respect to closing conditions for the benefit of SLB, (i) the absence of certain specified legal restraints that enjoin, prohibit, prevent or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the absence of investigations of the Transaction under specified regulatory laws, (iii) the expiration of all waiting periods applicable under specified regulatory filings following SLB’s determination to submit such filings (“Specified Regulatory Filings”), (iv) receipt of all clearances, consents and approvals under the Specified Regulatory Filings and (v) the absence of certain other regulatory laws prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise as set forth in the Merger Agreement and (g) certain other customary conditions relating to the parties’ representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and the performance of their respective obligations. On May 15, 2024, the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Transactions was declared effective by the SEC. On June 18, 2024, ChampionX’s stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of the stockholders.

On July 2, 2024, SLB announced that ChampionX and SLB had each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (collectively, the “Second Request”) from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the DOJ’s review of the Merger. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act, until 30 days after both ChampionX and SLB substantially comply with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier.

Additional information about the Merger is set forth in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 3, 2024 and the Definitive Proxy on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024.

Revenue. Revenue increased $13.3 million, or 1%, sequentially primarily due to the incremental revenues associated with RMSpumptools Limited, acquired on July 8, 2024.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $17.9 million, or 6%, sequentially mainly due to increased sales as well as a $2.5 million reduction in restructuring expense compared to the prior quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $2.5 million, or 1%, sequentially, primarily due to a reduction in third party legal and professional fees incurred related to the Merger transaction with SLB.

Foreign currency transaction losses (gains), net. Foreign currency transaction losses, net was $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to foreign currency transaction gains, net of $2.8 million in the prior quarter. The change was primarily due to the gain realized on a cash flow hedge of the purchase price of RMSpumptools Limited for the three months ended June 30, 2024 that was not repeated during the current quarter.

Other (income) expense, net. Other income, net was $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to other expense, net of $0.9 million in the prior quarter. This change was primarily due to increased earnings on equity method investments.

Provision for income taxes. Our provision for income taxes reflected effective tax rates (“ETR”) of 27.6% and 33.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease to the ETR for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 was driven by lower discrete tax expense.

Revenue. Revenue decreased $92.8 million, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year primarily due to a decline in revenues in Latin America along with an expected decline in revenue derived from the Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement with Ecolab Inc. (“Ecolab”).

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $19.4 million, or 2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year, mainly due to productivity improvements and discretionary spend control.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $50.3 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year, primarily due to $23.4 million in transaction costs incurred related to the Merger transaction with SLB and increased restructuring charges as compared to the prior period.

(Gain) loss on sale-leaseback transaction and disposal group. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction. We received cash of $44.3 million, net of closing costs and other fees related to the sale of the property. The lease provides for annual base payments of $3.3 million and expires in March 2044 with an option to extend the term of the lease for one additional seven-year period. The transaction qualifies as a sale leaseback, and as a result, we recorded a $29.8 million net gain on sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, a $13.0 million loss was incurred to write down the assets within our CT Russia Business to its recoverable value, which as of March 31, 2023 was zero.

Foreign currency transaction losses (gains), net. Foreign currency transaction losses, net was $0.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to foreign currency transaction losses, net of $21.7 million in the prior year. The prior year included an $18.9 million exchange loss attributable to the Argentine peso devaluation.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net increased $2.7 million, or 7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year primarily due to an increase in interest rates.

Other expense (income), net. Other expense, net was $1.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024, compared to other income, net of $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This change was primarily due to the settlement of a liability that resulted in a gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by the $7.1 million loss incurred on Blue Chip Swap transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Provision for income taxes. The ETR for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 were 25.4% and 22.4%, respectively. The increase in ETR year over year is primarily related to discrete benefits for return to provision adjustments in 2023.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

Our primary source of cash is from operating activities. We have historically generated, and expect to continue to generate, positive cash flow from operations. Cash generated from operations is generally allocated to working capital requirements, investments to support profitable revenue growth and maintain our facilities and systems, acquisitions that create value through add-on capabilities that broaden our existing businesses and support our growth strategy, as well as share repurchases, dividend payments to stockholders, and debt repayments to reduce our leverage.

At September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $389.1 million compared to $288.6 million at December 31, 2023, primarily for working capital and operational purposes. At September 30, 2024, we had total liquidity of $1.1 billion, comprised of $389.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $670.9 million of available capacity under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

The Company maintains a restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) that provides for (i) a $625.0 million seven-year senior secured term loan B facility (the “2022 Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million, of which $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility” together with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). On September 29, 2023, we amended the Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, reprice the Company’s $620.3 million of existing term loans under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, in connection with which new term loans in the same amount were issued. The new term loans bear interest at a per annum rate of (i) an adjusted SOFR Rate plus 2.75% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. The new term loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs in the case of the SOFR rate loans. All other material terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility remain unchanged.

At September 30, 2024, we had a long-term debt balance of $592.2 million, net of the current portion of long-term debt of $6.2 million, consisting of the 2022 Term Loan Facility with a principal amount of $614.1 million.

Outlook

We expect to generate cash from operations to support business requirements and, if necessary, through the use of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Volatility in credit, equity and commodity markets can create uncertainty for our businesses. However, the Company 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, the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and access to capital markets.

On March 7, 2022, the Company announced that our Board approved a $250 million share repurchase program (“Share

Repurchase Program”) which was increased to $750 million by the Board on October 24, 2022. On January 31, 2024, our Board authorized a further increase in the aggregate value of shares that may be repurchased under the share repurchase program to $1.5 billion. Under the Share Repurchase Program, shares of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased periodically, including in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. We expect to fund share repurchases from cash generated from operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program. The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of excess free cash, the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable requirements, and other business considerations.

Over the next year, we expect to fund our capital expenditures and reduce outstanding debt through earnings and working capital improvements. We project capital spending for 2024 to be approximately 3.5% of revenue inclusive of capital investments for our electric submersible pump leased assets.

Information related to guarantees is incorporated herein by reference from Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $382.4 million as compared to $371.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily driven by the increase in net income of $1.7 million, and decreased use of cash for working capital items. Changes in working capital items used cash of $43.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to cash used of $84.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in working capital items primarily related to decreases in inventory purchases and a decrease in accounts payable as compared to the prior year period.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $178.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and was primarily comprised of capital expenditures of $101.4 million, purchases of investments of $31.5 million, and acquisitions net of cash acquired of $123.3 million, partially offset by $44.3 million of proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction, $24.4 million from the sale of investments, and $9.3 million from the sale of fixed assets.

Cash used in investing activities was $98.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and was primarily comprised of capital expenditures of $111.0 million, partially offset by $12.3 million of cash proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $102.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily the result of repurchases of our common stock of $49.4 million, dividends paid of $52.4 million, payments related to taxes withheld on stock-based compensation of $12.0 million, and net repayments totaling $4.7 million on long-term debt. This was partially offset by $28.5 million of proceeds expected to be remitted under the Accounts Receivable Facility (as defined below).

Cash used in financing activities of $236.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of repurchases of our common stock of $159.7 million, dividends paid of $48.3 million, net repayments totaling $28.1 million on long-term debt, and payments related to taxes withheld on stock-based compensation of $9.7 million. This was partially offset by $14.0 million of proceeds expected to be remitted under the Accounts Receivable Facility and $5.8 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Revolving Credit Facility

A summary of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2024 was as follows:


(in millions) Description	Amount		Debt Outstanding		Letters of Credit		Unused Capacity		Maturity
Five-year revolving credit facility	$	700.0	$	—	$	29.1	$	670.9	June 2027

Additionally, we have letters of credit outside of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility totaling approximately $2.2 million. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

Accounts Receivable Facilities

Accounts receivable sold under the JPM Accounts Receivable were $513.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The accounts receivables sold that remained outstanding under the JPM Accounts Receivable Facility as of September 30, 2024 was $97.0 million. During this period, cash receipts from the purchaser at the time of the sale were classified as operating activities in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the accounts receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The loss on sale of accounts receivable was $5.6 million and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accounts receivable sold under the HSBC Accounts Receivable Facility were $59.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange 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 effective as of September 30, 2024.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in various pending or potential legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation. However, management believes the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have not been material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Merger is subject to a number of conditions to the obligations of both ChampionX and SLB to complete the Merger, including receipt of required regulatory clearances, which may impose unacceptable conditions or could delay completion of the Merger or result in termination of the Merger Agreement.

On April 2, 2024, ChampionX entered into the Merger Agreement whereby SLB will acquire ChampionX in an all-equity transaction pursuant to the Merger. The respective obligations of each of ChampionX and SLB to consummate the Merger are subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the closing of numerous conditions, including, among other things, (a) adoption by ChampionX stockholders of the Merger Agreement; (b) the receipt of approval for listing of shares of the SLB Common Stock as Equity Consideration on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance; (c) the absence of certain legal restraints that enjoin, prohibit, prevent or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions; (d) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension of such period) under the HSR Act and any commitment to, or agreement with, any governmental entity to delay the consummation of, or not to consummate before a certain date, the Transactions and the receipt of all clearances, consents and approvals under certain specified regulatory laws; (e) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by SLB in connection with the issuance of the Equity Consideration, which will include a proxy statement of ChampionX; (f) with respect to SLB, (i) the absence of Mutual Legal Restraints, (ii) the absence of investigations of the Transaction under specified regulatory laws, (iii) the expiration of all waiting periods applicable under Specified Regulatory Filings following SLB’s determination to submit such filings, (iv) receipt of all clearances, consents and approvals under the Specified Regulatory Filings and (v) the absence of certain other regulatory laws prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise as set forth in the Merger Agreement and (g) certain other customary conditions relating to the parties’ representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and the performance of their respective obligations.

On May 15, 2024, the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus that was filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions was declared effective by the SEC. On June 18, 2024, ChampionX’s stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of the stockholders. However, we cannot predict whether and when the other conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied. Many of the conditions to the completion of the Merger are not within ChampionX’s or SLB’s control, and ChampionX cannot predict when, or if, these conditions will be satisfied. Furthermore, the requirement for obtaining regulatory clearances could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Regulators may seek to enjoin the completion of the Merger or require the parties to license, or hold separate, assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights, which could be in excess of the contractual requirements for remedies, or which could prevent certain of the anticipated benefits of the Merger from being achieved in a timely manner or at all.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the price of our stock and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of failure to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals, our ongoing business may be materially and adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative stock price impacts;

•we may experience negative reactions from commercial and business partners; and

•we will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, and printing fees.

If the Merger is not completed, the risks described above may materialize and they may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial position, and the price of our publicly-traded stock.

The pendency of the Merger may adversely affect our business, financial results and operations.

Whether or not the Merger is completed, its announcement and pendency could cause disruptions to our business, including:

•uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause us to lose management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect our future business and operations following the Merger;

•our business relationships may be subject to disruption due to uncertainty associated with the Merger, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial position;

•matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which may result in the distraction of our management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to us; and

•the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on how we conduct our operations, which may delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that, absent the Merger Agreement, we may have pursued.

SLB may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger and may fail to successfully integrate the businesses and operations of the parties in the expected time frame.

The success of the Merger, and the value that ChampionX stockholders who receive SLB Common Stock following the Merger will realize, depends on, among other things, the successful combination of ChampionX’s and SLB’s businesses in a manner that realizes anticipated synergies and benefits and meets or exceeds the forecasted stand-alone cost savings anticipated by the combined business. If the combined business is not able to successfully achieve these synergies, or the cost to achieve these synergies is greater than expected, then the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. If the transaction closes, it is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key ChampionX employees or key SLB employees, the loss of customers, providers, vendors, or business partners, the disruption of either or both parties’ ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies, potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses, delays, or regulatory conditions associated with and following completion of the Merger, or higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated.

In addition, at times the attention of certain members of our management team and resources may be focused on the completion of the Merger and planning the anticipated integration, and diverted from day-to-day business operations or other opportunities that may have been beneficial to ChampionX, which may disrupt our ongoing business and the operations of the combined business.

We may be subject to litigation challenging the Merger, and an unfavorable judgment or ruling in any such lawsuits could prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger and/or result in substantial costs.

Lawsuits related to the Merger may be filed against us, SLB, and our respective affiliates, directors and officers. If dismissals are not obtained or a settlement is not reached, these lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the Merger and/or result in substantial costs to us.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage or deter a potential competing offer to acquire our common stock.

We are not permitted to solicit proposals for certain alternative business combination transactions and, subject to certain exceptions, we are not permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative business combination transaction. Such restrictions could discourage or deter a third party, that may be willing to pay more than SLB for our outstanding common stock, from considering or proposing such an acquisition.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We did not repurchase any equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the third quarter of 2024.

On March 7, 2022, the Company announced that our Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock. On October 24, 2022, our Board increased the authorization under this program to $750 million. On January 31, 2024, our Board authorized an increase in the aggregate value of shares that may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program to $1.5 billion. This program has no time limit and does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2024, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Share Repurchase Program is $996.7 million.
