SMITH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Smith International, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Smith” or the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pertaining to interim financial information. These interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission. All adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosed amounts of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. If the underlying estimates and assumptions, upon which the financial statements are based, change in future periods, actual amounts may differ from those included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
Management is also required to consider material events that occur after the date, but prior to the issuance, of the financial statements and evaluate whether such events require modification to the reported results or footnote disclosures. Our subsequent event review has been conducted through August 7, 2009, immediately prior to the filing of the financial statements with the Commission.
Management believes the consolidated condensed financial statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the dates indicated. The results of operations for the interim period presented may not be indicative of results which may be reported on a fiscal year basis.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following standards were adopted by the Company on the specified effective date.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which revises the accounting and disclosure requirements for acquisition transactions. SFAS 141(R) differs from the previous standard in that it requires the Company to expense professional fees and other transaction-related costs as incurred instead of capitalizing these costs as purchase price consideration. Additionally, the Company will be required to estimate contingent assets, liabilities and transaction-related consideration as of the purchase date with future changes in the underlying estimates recognized in the statement of operations. Finally, SFAS 141(R) requires the Company to reflect any adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties associated with acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2009 as income tax expense rather than an adjustment to goodwill.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”) which modifies the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 160, the Company has reclassified the noncontrolling interest previously reflected as a long-term liability and included the amount as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Company has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” which requires enhanced disclosure about derivative instruments. The standard requires the inclusion of tabular information reflecting the impact of derivative financial instruments on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” which requires additional fair value disclosure with respect to financial instruments in our interim financial statements.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” which requires the disclosure of specifics related to the Company’s subsequent review, including the date through which such review was completed.
Management believes the impact of other recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
2. Employee Severance and Other Costs
Due to the significant deterioration in North American drilling activity, the Company has undertaken a number of cost reduction initiatives during the first six months of 2009. These measures included personnel reductions and, to a lesser extent, the closing of certain manufacturing and production facilities. The Company has reduced its global workforce by 11 percent from December 31, 2008, primarily associated with a 22 percent reduction in U.S. personnel levels. In connection with these activities, the Company incurred costs of approximately $13.0 million and $45.3 million, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009.
3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions
From time to time, the Company enters into transactions involving the purchase of a full or partial ownership interest in complementary business operations. No material acquisitions were completed during the first six months of 2009.
On August 25, 2008, Smith completed the acquisition of W-H Energy Services, Inc. (“W-H”). The transaction has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the acquired operations have been included in the results of operations since the closing date. The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information presents consolidated results of operations as if the W-H acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2008. The unaudited pro forma data is based on historical information and does not include estimated cost savings; therefore, it does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations had the combination been in effect at the date indicated or of future results for the combined entities (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Dispositions
During the first six months of 2009, the Company disposed of certain non-core operations acquired in connection with the W-H transaction. The Company received cash proceeds of $65.0 million and is entitled to future consideration in the event financial metrics established under earn-out arrangements are met. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect no gain or loss associated with the sale of these operations.

4. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to the potential dilution of earnings that could have occurred if additional shares were issued for stock option and restricted stock awards under the treasury stock method. For each of the periods presented, an immaterial number of outstanding stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. The following schedule reconciles the income and shares used in the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands, except per share data):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended

5. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost method for the majority of the Company’s inventories; however, a portion of the Company’s U.S.-based inventories are valued utilizing the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Inventory costs, consisting of materials, labor and factory overhead, are as follows:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Raw materials
  $ 180,743     $ 190,790  
Work-in-process
    174,220       202,019  
Finished goods
    1,982,781       2,186,203  
 
           
 
    2,337,744       2,579,012  
Reserves to state certain U.S. inventories (FIFO cost of $983,203 and $1,044,345 in 2009 and 2008, respectively) on a LIFO basis
    (216,815 )     (211,846 )
 
           
 
  $ 2,120,929     $ 2,367,166  
 
           
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded additional LIFO reserves of $5.0 million, primarily related to modest cost inflation experienced in the oilfield manufacturing operations which resulted in the revaluation of on-hand inventories to current unit cost standards. To a lesser extent, the higher cost of steel and alloy products purchased in the Distribution segment contributed to the increase in LIFO reserves.
6. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,

Intangible amortization expense totaled $12.9 million and $5.9 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $25.8 million and $13.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average life for other intangible assets subject to amortization, which excludes certain indefinite-lived trademarks, approximates 13 years. Intangible amortization expense is expected to approximate $51 million for fiscal year 2009, $48 million for fiscal year 2010 and is anticipated to range between $34 million and $41 million per year for the 2011 – 2013 fiscal years.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million five-year and $700.0 million ten-year Senior Notes issued under an existing Indenture. Net proceeds of $991.1 million were received in connection with the offering and were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under a $1.0 billion bridge loan facility expiring August 2009. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, carry a combined effective interest rate of 9.44 percent and require semi-annual interest payments.
In March 2009, the Company also entered into a $525.0 million term loan facility with a syndicate of financial institutions (the “Lenders”) which remained undrawn at June 30, 2009. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company requested termination of the term loan facility and entered into a new $375.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with the Lenders. The revolving credit agreement allows for the election of interest at a base rate, or a Eurodollar rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, and requires the payment of a quarterly commitment fee of 32.5 basis points on the unutilized portion of the facility. The credit agreement, which contains a debt-to-total capitalization limitation and other customary covenants, expires on July 23, 2010.
Principal payments of long-term debt for the twelve-month periods ending subsequent to June 30, 2010 are as follows:
         
2011
  $ 274,711  
2012

10. Financial Instruments
Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
The nature of the Company’s business activities involves the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. In an effort to mitigate these risks, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments which are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
For foreign exchange and interest rate derivative instruments that do not qualify as cash flow hedges, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently through earnings. Non-cash flow foreign exchange hedge contracts with a notional amount of $103.9 million were outstanding at June 30, 2009.
For foreign exchange and interest rate derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, realized and unrealized gains and losses are deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had one outstanding interest rate cash flow hedge contract with a notional amount of $77.0 million and no outstanding foreign exchange cash flow hedge contracts.

The Company entered into three interest rate contracts and subsequent extensions during fiscal 2008 in anticipation of a planned public debt issuance. At December 31, 2008, unrealized mark-to-market losses of $59.8 million associated with these cash flow hedge transactions were deferred as a component of AOCI. Contract extensions expiring subsequent to December 31, 2008 did not qualify as cash flow hedge transactions resulting in the recognition of a $56.9 million mark-to-market gain in the first quarter of 2009.
The 2009 public debt transaction did not include a longer-tenor debt issuance as contemplated in the cash flow hedge transaction and a future transaction of this tenor is probable of not occurring. Accordingly, $59.3 million of the mark-to-market loss previously deferred as a component of AOCI was reclassified into earnings during the first quarter of 2009 offsetting the $56.9 million mark-to-market gain discussed above. Approximately $2.2 million of losses deferred in AOCI related to cash flow foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts, or $1.0 million net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, will be reclassified into earnings during the remainder of fiscal 2009.
In addition to the $2.4 million net mark-to-market interest rate derivative loss included in the first quarter of 2009, the Company has recognized $3.8 million and $10.9 million of derivative contract losses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009. The following table provides required information with respect to the classification and loss amounts recognized in income as well as the derivative-related contract losses deferred in AOCI during the 2009 periods shown:

Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of outstanding foreign exchange derivative instruments is determined using composite pricing from published financial market sources whereas the fair value of the outstanding interest rate derivative instruments is determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets for identical contracts. Both measurement methodologies are classified as Level Two tier under SFAS 157. The recorded fair value of derivative instruments at June 30, 2009 is as follows:
                                 
    Asset Derivatives     Liability Derivatives

Table of Contents

The fair value of outstanding long-term debt instruments is determined using quoted prices for identical debt instruments, which is classified as a Level Two tier measurement methodology under SFAS 157. At June 30, 2009, the fair value of long-term debt instruments approximated $2.44 billion and the recorded value totaled $2.37 billion. The fair and recorded values of long-term debt instruments totaled $1.63 billion and $1.71 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2008.
The fair value of the remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and short-term borrowings, approximates the carrying value due to the nature of these instruments.
11. Long-Term Incentive Compensation
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding restricted stock units and stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 1989 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “LTIC Plan”). As of June 30, 2009, approximately 1.9 million shares were authorized for future issuance pursuant to the LTIC Plan.
Restricted Stock
The restricted stock program consists of a combination of performance-based restricted stock units (“performance-based units”) and time-based restricted stock units (“time-based units”). The number of performance-based units issued under the program, which can range from zero to 130 percent of the target units granted, is solely dependent upon financial metrics achieved by the Company in the fiscal year subsequent to the award. Activity under the Company’s restricted stock program for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 is presented below (in thousands, except per share data):

After adjusting for taxes and noncontrolling interests, approximately $57.9 million of additional share-based compensation is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.
12. Industry Segments and International Operations
The Company is a global provider of products and services used during the drilling, completion and production phases of oil and natural gas development activities. Our business is segregated into three operating divisions, M-I SWACO, Smith Oilfield and Distribution, which is the basis upon which we report our results.
The M-I SWACO segment consists of a majority-owned drilling fluid and environmental services joint venture operation. The Smith Oilfield segment is comprised of our wholly-owned drilling and completion services operations, which includes drill bits, directional drilling services and downhole tools. The Distribution segment consists of the Wilson distribution operations and a majority-owned interest in CE Franklin Ltd., a publicly-traded Canadian distribution company. Finally, general corporate primarily reflects expenses related to corporate personnel, administrative support functions and long-term incentive compensation programs.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Standby Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds. Certain of these outstanding instruments guarantee payment to insurance companies with respect to certain liability coverages of the Company’s insurance captive. Excluding the impact of these instruments, for which $24.1 million of related liabilities are reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, the Company was contingently liable for $237.9 million of standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds at June 30, 2009. Management does not expect any material amounts to be drawn on these instruments.
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its business and operations. The Company has elected to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of deductibles and retentions under its insurance programs. Amounts in excess of the self-insured retention levels are fully insured to limits believed appropriate for the Company’s operations. Self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and an estimate for claims incurred but not reported. While management believes that amounts accrued in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are adequate for expected liabilities arising from the Company’s portion of losses, estimates of these liabilities may change as circumstances develop.
Litigation
The Company is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or previously operated by the Company. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is provided to assist readers in understanding the Company’s financial performance during the periods presented and significant trends which may impact the future performance of the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the Commission.
Company Products and Operations
The Company is a leading global provider of premium products and services used during the drilling, completion and production phases of oil and natural gas development activities. In August 2008, we broadened our capabilities in key drilling and completion-related product technologies with the acquisition of W-H Energy Services, Inc. (“W-H”). We provide a comprehensive line of technologically-advanced products and engineering services, including drilling and completion fluid systems, solids-control and separation equipment, waste-management services, three-cone and diamond drill bits, borehole enlargement services, tubulars, directional systems, measurement-while-drilling and logging-while-drilling services, coiled tubing, cased-hole wireline and other complementary downhole tools and services. The Company also offers supply-chain management solutions through an extensive North American branch network providing pipe, valves and fittings as well as mill, safety and other maintenance products.
The Company’s operations are driven principally by the level of exploration and production (“E&P”) spending in major energy-producing regions around the world and the depth and complexity of these projects. Although E&P spending is significantly influenced by the market price of oil and natural gas, it may also be affected by supply and demand fundamentals, finding and development costs, decline and depletion rates, political actions and uncertainties, environmental concerns, the financial condition of independent E&P companies and the overall level of global economic growth and activity. In addition, approximately six percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues relate to the downstream energy sector, including petrochemical plants and refineries, whose spending is largely impacted by the general condition of the U.S. economy.
Capital investment by energy companies is largely divided into two markets, which vary greatly in terms of primary business drivers and associated volatility levels. North American drilling activity is primarily influenced by natural gas fundamentals, with two-thirds of the current rig count focused on natural gas finding and development activities. Conversely, drilling in areas outside of North America is more dependent on crude oil fundamentals, which influence 78 percent of current international drilling activity. Historically, business in markets outside of North America has proved to be less volatile as the high cost E&P programs in these regions are generally undertaken by major oil companies, consortiums and national oil companies as part of a longer-term strategic development plan. Although 50 percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues were generated in North America during the first six months of 2009, Smith’s profitability was influenced by business levels in markets outside of North America. The Distribution segment, which accounts for approximately one-fourth of consolidated revenues and primarily supports a North American customer base, serves to distort the geographic revenue mix of the Company’s oilfield operations. Excluding the impact of the Distribution segment, approximately 63 percent of the Company’s revenues were generated in markets outside of North America during the first half of 2009.
Business Outlook
The Company’s current year results will be influenced by a material reduction in average worldwide drilling activity attributable to the significant economic slowdown and the ongoing weakness in global credit markets. We believe the impact of lower activity levels will be partially offset by the addition of the acquired W-H business lines and the concentration of our oilfield business base in markets outside North America, areas which tend to be more stable from an oil and gas investment standpoint. The majority of the rig count decline from the prior year is expected to occur in the United States where drilling activity is currently 50 percent below the average level reported in 2008. The decrease in U.S. drilling activity is primarily attributable to the lower number of land-based and shallow-depth offshore programs, which are generally more sensitive to commodity prices. Customer spending in most international and deepwater drilling markets, which are primarily driven by oil-directed activities, have not been significantly impacted to date.

Table of Contents

Near-term drilling activity will largely be driven by the seasonal recovery in Canada, supported by a rebound in the number of land-based, oil-targeted drilling projects from the levels experienced in the second quarter of 2009. Drilling activity in markets outside of Canada is expected to remain relatively flat throughout the remainder of the year influenced by weak global energy demand and record U.S. natural gas storage levels. Near-term activity levels may also be impacted by tropical weather disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico, which are typically experienced during the third calendar quarter. Seasonal weather conditions in the Gulf affect the level of planned drilling programs and, in certain circumstances, may result in the curtailment of some offshore and land-based drilling operations. Although the long-term outlook for the energy sector is favorable due to supply and demand fundamentals, continued deterioration in the global economic environment could lead to lower exploration and production spending — further reducing demand for the Company’s products and services and adversely impacting future results.

M-I SWACO
Revenues
M-I SWACO primarily provides drilling and completion fluid systems, engineering and technical services to the oil and gas industry. Additionally, these operations provide oilfield production chemicals and manufacture and market equipment and services used for solids control, particle separation, pressure control, rig instrumentation and waste management. M-I SWACO is significantly influenced by its exposure to the global offshore market, which constitutes just over 50 percent of the revenue base, and to exploration and production spending for land-based projects outside of North America, which contributes approximately one-third of the division’s revenues. Offshore drilling programs, which accounted for 17 percent of the worldwide rig count during the first six months of 2009, are generally more revenue intensive than land-based projects due to the complex nature of the related drilling environment. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, revenues for the M-I SWACO segment were $1.01 billion — a decrease of 21 percent from the prior-year period. The revenue decline was concentrated in the United States and the Europe/Africa region. Lower U.S. volumes reflected the 52 percent downturn in U.S. drilling activity and, to a lesser extent, reduced exploration and development activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The Europe/Africa operations were impacted by reduced customer spending in the Caspian and North Sea markets, lower land-based drilling in Russia and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain key European currencies in which a material portion of business is transacted. For the six-month period, M-I SWACO reported revenues of $2.17 billion — 14 percent below the amounts reported in the first half of 2008. The revenue decline was attributable to the reduced number of shallow-water drilling programs in Europe/Africa and the Middle East regions as well as lower demand in the U.S. onshore market, partially offset by a 19 percent expansion in deepwater business volumes.
Operating Income
Operating income for the M-I SWACO segment was $121.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 – reflecting operating margins of 12.0 percent. After excluding severance charges of $3.0 million recorded in the June 2009 period, operating income was 12.3 percent of revenues. The margin decline reflects the impact of lower business volumes and, to a lesser extent, the loss of a higher proportion of environmental waste management and other service-based offerings which generate better overall margins. On an absolute dollar basis, operating income declined $91.0 million below the prior year’s level. After considering charges related to cost reduction initiatives, operating income fell $88.0 million period-to-period as the impact of lower revenue volumes on gross profit levels were partially offset by reduced variable-based operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, M-I SWACO operating income was $268.8 million – or 12.4 percent of revenues. After excluding $22.3 million in costs incurred in connection with cost reduction measures, operating income was

13.4 percent of revenue. The margin decline is, again, attributable to the sharp reduction in revenue volumes and product mix factors. On an absolute dollar basis, operating income fell $151.3 million below the levels reported in the first half of 2008. After adjusting for charges associated with cost reduction efforts, operating income declined $129.0 million from the prior-year level influenced by the decline in revenues on gross profit levels and partially offset by reduced variable-related operating expenses.
Smith Oilfield
Revenues
The Smith Oilfield segment provides three-cone and diamond drill bits, tubulars, borehole enlargement tools, drill motors, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling, and logging-while-drilling services, as well as completions, coiled tubing, cased-hole wireline and drilling-related services. Just over 60 percent of the segment’s business base is concentrated in North America driven, in part, by the significance of increased unconventional drilling projects in the U.S. land-based market and the complexity of drilling programs – which drive demand for a wider range of product offerings. Smith Oilfield revenues totaled $520.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, a 12 percent decline from the amounts reported in the prior-year quarter. The revenue comparison is influenced by the addition of the W-H operations, which helped offset the impact of the significant downturn in North American drilling activity. Excluding the impact of acquired operations, base business levels fell 35 percent from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting lower demand for drill bits, drill pipe and premium tubular products in our U.S. customer base. Increased competitive pricing in the U.S. market, most of which has been concentrated in the W-H business lines, also influenced the period-to-period revenue comparison. For the six-month period, Smith Oilfield segment revenues totaled $1.20 billion – three percent above the amounts reported in the comparable prior-year period attributable to the inclusion of the W-H operations. Base business revenues were 26 percent below the levels generated in the first half of 2008, impacted by the steep decline in North American business volumes and lower U.S. product and service pricing.
Operating Income
Operating income for the Smith Oilfield segment was $47.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 – translating into reported operating income of 9.1 percent of revenues. After excluding charges of $8.6 million associated with cost reduction measures, operating margins were 10.8 percent of revenues. The margin decline primarily reflects changes in the business mix and the impact of increased competitive pricing pressure in the U.S. market. Inclusion of the acquired W-H product and service lines, which contribute lower-relative margins, coupled with the loss of high-margin drill bit and premium tubular sales influenced the reported business mix. On an absolute dollar basis, operating income fell $115.2 million below the prior year’s level. After considering charges related to cost restructuring efforts, operating income was $106.6 million below the prior year’s level reflecting the impact of lower base business volumes on gross profit and, to a lesser extent, reduced product and service pricing. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Smith Oilfield segment operating income was $153.4 million – reflecting operating income of 12.8 percent of revenues. After excluding $21.0 million of charges associated with cost reduction initiatives, operating margins were 14.5 percent. Compared to the prior six-month period, the margin deterioration, again, reflected a shift in the overall business mix and increased pricing pressure in the U.S. market. On an absolute dollar basis, operating income fell $172.5 million below the levels reported in the first half of 2008. After considering charges related to cost reduction efforts, operating income fell $151.5 million from the comparable prior year levels influenced by the sharp decline in base business volumes and related pricing pressure experienced in the U.S. market.
Distribution
Revenues
The Distribution segment markets pipe, valves, fittings and mill, safety and other maintenance products to energy and industrial markets, primarily through an extensive network of supply branches in the United States and Canada. The segment has the most significant North American revenue exposure of any of the Company’s operations with 95 percent of current year revenue base concentrated in those markets. Moreover, approximately one-quarter of the segment’s revenues relate to sales to the downstream energy sector, including petrochemical plants and refineries, whose spending is largely influenced by the general state of the U.S. economic environment. Additionally, certain customers in this sector utilize petroleum products as a base material and, accordingly, are impacted by crude oil and natural gas prices. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Distribution segment generated revenues of $410.8 million, down 33 percent from the prior-year period. Approximately two-thirds of the reported sales decline was driven by reduced demand and market pricing for line pipe products. Additionally, lower customer spending in the midstream energy sector associated with unconventional drilling projects also impacted the period-to-period

20


Table of Contents

revenue comparison. For the six-months ended June 30, 2009, the Distribution operations reported revenues of $980.5 million. Business volumes declined 17 percent from the comparable prior-year period as continued weakness in the U.S. market impacted customer spending for maintenance, repair and operating supplies (“MRO”) in the energy sector operations and demand for line pipe products in the downstream and industrial customer base. To a lesser extent, lower Canadian drilling and completion activity levels also influenced the six-month revenue performance.
Operating Income
The Distribution segment reported an operating loss of $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. After excluding the impact of $1.3 million of severance-related costs included in the June 2009 period, the segment operating loss totaled $8.5 million. The period-to-period operating margin decline was influenced by the significant reduction in revenue volumes, which had an unfavorable impact on fixed-cost coverage, increased competitive pricing pressures and higher line pipe inventory product costs. On an absolute dollar basis, operating results declined $46.3 million from the prior-year level. After considering charges related to cost reduction efforts, operating results were $45.0 million below the prior-year period as the gross profit impact of significant volume reductions and pricing erosion was partially offset by lower variable-based operating expenses. For the first six months of 2009, Distribution operating income was $5.7 million and, after adjusting for $1.9 million in severance-related costs, operating income totaled $7.6 million. Compared to the prior six-month period, the margin deterioration was, again, influenced by the year-over-year decline in business volumes, lower product pricing and higher line pipe costs. On an absolute dollar basis, operating income fell $60.7 million below the amount reported in the first half of 2008. After considering charges related to cost reduction efforts, operating income declined $58.8 million from the comparable prior-year period reflecting lower revenue levels and pricing, partially offset by a reduction in variable-based operating expenditures.

Consolidated revenues were $1.94 billion for the second quarter of 2009, 22 percent below the level reported in the prior-year period and 28 percent lower after excluding revenues from the retained W-H operations. The majority of the decline related to a 30 percent reduction in North American business volumes driven by a substantial slowdown in land-based drilling and completion activity, reduced exploration levels in the Gulf of Mexico and increased competitive pressure in the U.S. market. Revenues outside North America declined 14 percent period-to-period primarily associated with the reduced number of offshore programs in the North Sea market and lower exploration and production spending in the Former Soviet Union (“FSU”). For the six months ended June 30, 2009, consolidated revenues totaled $4.36 billion. Sales volumes declined 10 percent from the comparable 2008 period and, after excluding the impact of the retained W-H operations, base revenues were 17 percent lower. Over 80 percent of the base revenue decline was reported in the North American operations, reflecting the significant downturn in energy-related business activities.

Gross profit totaled $529.0 million for the second quarter of 2009. Gross profit margins were 27.2 percent for the second quarter – a 5.2 percentage point decline from the prior-year period attributable to the sharp reduction in revenue volumes together with increased competitive pricing pressure in the U.S. market. To a lesser extent, changes in the relative business mix and the impact of higher product inventory costs also contributed to the period-to-period margin decline. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, gross profit totaled $1.22 billion. Gross profit margins were 28.0 percent for the first half of 2009 – a 4.7 percentage point reduction from the comparable prior-year levels. The reported gross margin erosion primarily reflects a significant decline in overall market activity as well as pricing deterioration experienced in a number of the Company’s U.S. product and service offerings.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $395.7 million for the quarter, a five percent reduction from the amount reported in the 2008 period. Excluding the impact of $13.0 million of charges incurred in connection with cost reduction measures in the June 2009 period, operating expenses decreased $35.0 million from the second quarter of 2008. Reported reductions in variable-based expenses associated with the lower business volumes and cost reduction actions were partially offset by incremental costs associated with the W-H sales and administrative functions. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were $846.4 million, a three percent increase over the level reported in 2008. After excluding $47.8 million in expenses associated with personnel reductions and other activities, operating expenses declined $21.8 million from the first half of 2008. The decline in variable-based expenses resulting from the reduction in activity levels and personnel reductions was partially offset by incremental costs associated with W-H operations.
Net interest expense, which represents interest expense less interest income, equaled $42.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Net interest expense increased $26.6 million and $38.3 million from the prior-year quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, reflecting incremental borrowings required to fund the W-H acquisition and, to a lesser extent, higher interest rates associated with the refinancing of short-term indebtedness with a fixed-rate debt issuance during the first quarter of 2009.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2009 was 30.6 percent, a decline of 1.8 percentage points from the prior-year period reflecting a shift in pre-tax earnings towards the M-I SWACO operations which, due to the partnership structure in the United States, reports a slightly lower effective rate. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the effective tax rate approximated 32.1 percent, consistent with the comparable prior-year period. The effective tax rates were lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to the impact of M-I SWACO’s U.S. partnership earnings for which the noncontrolling interest partner is directly responsible for its related income taxes. The Company properly consolidates the pretax income related to the noncontrolling partner’s share of U.S. partnership earnings but excludes the related tax provision.
Noncontrolling interests reflect the portion of the results of majority-owned operations that are applicable to noncontrolling ownership interests. Noncontrolling interests was $30.6 million and $54.4 million below amounts reported in the prior-year quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, primarily associated with a decline in profitability levels in the M-I SWACO joint venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
At June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents equaled $224.2 million. During the first six months of 2009, the Company generated $651.3 million of cash flows from operations. The amount was $388.5 million above the prior-year period as the impact of reduced year-on-year profitability levels related to the sharp downturn in drilling activity was more than offset by the related reduction in working capital investment.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the June 2009 period totaled $80.3 million — $84.5 million below the prior-year period. The decrease from the prior-year period primarily reflects the sale of certain non-core businesses acquired in connection with the W-H transaction. Excluding the impact of these divestitures, cash flows used in investing activities declined $19.5 million from the prior-year period, reflecting lower acquisition funding levels and, to a lesser extent, reduced investment in capital equipment associated with the North American business downturn. After taking into consideration cash proceeds arising from certain asset disposals, the Company invested $131.0 million in property, plant and equipment during the first six months of 2009 - reflecting routine additions of equipment and rental tools to support market expansion and maintain the existing capital equipment base.

Table of Contents

Projected net capital expenditures for 2009 are expected to total $250 million, approximately $120 million below the spending levels reported in the prior fiscal year. A significant portion of the planned capital investment relates to rental tool additions for our recently acquired directional drilling operations to support geographic expansion efforts outside the United States.
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $511.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, $394.5 million above the prior-year period. The Company’s operating cash flow performance enabled the funding of investing activities, $116.6 million of combined common stock dividend and noncontrolling joint venture partner distributions and other financing-related outflows, while still having sufficient capacity to repay $349.1 million of outstanding borrowings under various loan agreements.
The Company’s primary internal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from operations. Cash flows generated from operations is primarily influenced by the level of worldwide drilling activity, which affects profitability levels and working capital requirements. Capacity under revolving credit agreements is also available, if necessary, to fund operating or investing activities. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $45.0 million drawn and $10.0 million of letters of credit issued under various U.S. revolving credit facilities, resulting in $380.0 million of capacity available for future operating or investing needs. Revolving credit facilities in place outside of the United States, which are generally used to finance local operating needs, had available borrowing capacity of $147.7 million as of June 30, 2009. Additionally, subsequent to quarter-end, the Company has entered into a $375.0 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. The 364-day revolving credit agreement replaced an undrawn $525.0 million term loan facility existing at June 30, 2009.
The Company’s external sources of liquidity include debt and equity financing in the public capital markets, if needed. The Company carries an investment-grade credit rating with recognized rating agencies, generally providing the Company with access to debt markets. The Company’s overall borrowing capacity is, in part, dependent on maintaining compliance with financial covenants under the various credit agreements. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was within the covenant compliance thresholds under its various loan indentures, as amended, providing the ability to access available borrowing capacity. Management believes internally-generated cash flow combined with capacity available under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to finance capital expenditures and working capital needs of the existing operations for the foreseeable future.
Management continues to evaluate opportunities to acquire products or businesses complementary to the Company’s operations. In addition to potential external acquisition candidates, our M-I SWACO partner can offer to sell us their entire ownership interest in the venture in exchange for a specified cash purchase price. Under the terms of the joint venture, we are provided the same sale rights. In the event a partner’s offer to sell is not accepted, the offering party is obligated to purchase the other party’s interest at the same relative valuation. Additional acquisitions, if they arise, may involve the use of cash or, depending upon the size and terms of the acquisition, may require debt or equity financing.
The Company makes regular quarterly distributions under a dividend program. The current annualized payout under the program of approximately $106 million is expected to be funded with future cash flows from operations and, if necessary, amounts available under existing credit facilities. The level of future dividend payments will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s financial condition, earnings, cash flows, compliance with certain debt covenants and other relevant factors.
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to regulatory issues, market considerations and other relevant factors. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of 2009, accordingly the Company had 15.2 million shares remaining under the current authorization as of June 30, 2009. Future repurchases under the program may be executed from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and will be funded with cash flows from operations or amounts available under existing credit facilities.

Commitments and Contingencies
Standby Letters of Credit
In the normal course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company is contingently liable for performance under standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds. Certain of these outstanding instruments guarantee payment to insurance companies with respect to certain liability coverages of the Company’s insurance captive. Excluding the impact of these instruments, for which $24.1 million of related liabilities are reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, the Company was contingently liable for approximately $237.9 million of standby letters of credit and bid, performance and surety bonds at June 30, 2009. Management does not expect any material amounts to be drawn on these instruments.
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its business and operations. The Company has elected to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of deductibles and retentions under its insurance programs. Amounts in excess of the self-insured retention levels are fully insured to limits believed appropriate for the Company’s operations. Self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and an estimate for claims incurred but not reported. While management believes that amounts accrued in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are adequate for expected liabilities arising from the Company’s portion of losses, estimates of these liabilities may change as circumstances develop.
Litigation
The Company is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves for estimated future environmental clean-up costs for properties currently or previously operated by the Company. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has described the critical accounting policies that require management’s most significant judgments and estimates. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following standards were adopted by the Company on the specified effective date.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which revises the accounting and disclosure requirements for acquisition transactions. SFAS 141(R) differs from the previous standard in that it requires the Company to expense professional fees and other transaction-related costs as incurred instead of capitalizing these costs as purchase price consideration.

24


Table of Contents

Additionally, the Company will be required to estimate contingent assets, liabilities and transaction-related consideration as of the purchase date with future changes in the underlying estimates recognized in the statement of operations. Finally, SFAS 141(R) requires the Company to reflect any adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties associated with acquisitions completed prior to January 1, 2009 as income tax expense rather than an adjustment to goodwill.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”) which modifies the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 160, the Company has reclassified the noncontrolling interest previously reflected as a long-term liability and included the amount as a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Company has presented the net income attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling ownership interests separately in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” which requires enhanced disclosure about derivative instruments. The standard requires the inclusion of tabular information reflecting the impact of derivative financial instruments on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” which requires additional fair value disclosure with respect to financial instruments in our interim financial statements.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” which requires the disclosure of specifics related to the Company’s subsequent review, including the date through which such review was completed.
Management believes the impact of other recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business which are primarily related to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. During the reporting period, no events or transactions other than discussed below have occurred which would materially change the information disclosed in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate changes is managed through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and by entering into interest rate contracts, from time to time, on a portion of its long-term borrowings. Due to the refinancing of a bridge loan with a fixed-rate public debt issuance during the first six months of 2009, 64 percent of the Company’s total debt carried a fixed interest rate as of June 30, 2009, which compares to 20 percent as of December 31, 2008. Management believes that it will be able to manage its remaining exposure to variable-rate debt instruments, if required, with interest rate contracts. Accordingly, significant interest rate changes are not expected to have a material near-term impact on the Company’s future earnings or cash flows.
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that as of June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
     None.
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
The risk factors discussed below update the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The significant deterioration in the global business environment and related factors could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
     The deterioration in the global business environment has led to a significant reduction in commodity prices, which has contributed to lower cash flow generation for exploration and production companies. In addition, a reduction in the availability and increased cost of financing has had a significant impact on a number of our customers. These factors could contribute to a material decline in our customers’ spending levels which may continue or accelerate. A continued reduction in the level of future investment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
     Moreover, if the business environment experiences a significant deterioration from current levels, we may be required to record a goodwill impairment loss, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our compliance with applicable debt covenants.
The current financial and credit market environment may limit our ability to expand our business through acquisitions.
     The current state of the global financial and credit markets has at times limited availability of financing and has increased its cost when available. Any inability to access the credit and capital markets could limit our ability to make significant business acquisitions, including transactions under the applicable provisions of our joint venture agreements in which the partners may offer to sell us their ownership interests in the joint ventures. In addition, we may need waivers of applicable debt covenants or be required to issue equity securities, resulting in dilution to our existing stockholders, or sell assets. Our ability to access the debt and/or equity capital markets may be restricted or limited at such time, which could have an impact on our flexibility to pursue these opportunities. The failure to pursue these opportunities, or the consequences of seeking waivers, issuing equity or selling assets could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Smith is dependent on the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities.
     Demand for Smith’s products and services is dependent upon the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities. The level of worldwide oil and natural gas development activities is primarily influenced by the price of oil and natural gas, as well as price expectations. The current state of world economies could lead to further weakness in exploration and production spending levels — further reducing demand for the Company’s products and services and adversely impacting future results. In addition to oil and natural gas prices, the following factors impact exploration and development activity and may lead to significant changes in worldwide activity levels:
    overall level of global economic growth and activity;
 
    actual and perceived changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;
 
    political stability and policies of oil-producing countries;
 
    finding and development costs of operators;
 
    decline and depletion rates for oil and natural gas wells; and
 
    seasonal weather conditions that temporarily curtail drilling operations.
     Changes in any of these factors could adversely impact Smith’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

     A significant portion of Smith’s revenue is derived in markets outside of North America.
     Smith is a multinational oilfield service company and generates the majority of its oilfield revenues in markets outside of North America. Changes in conditions within certain countries that have historically experienced a high degree of political and/or economic instability could adversely impact Smith’s operations in such countries and as a result Smith’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additional risks inherent in Smith’s non-North American business activities include:
    changes in political and economic conditions in the countries in which Smith operates, including civil uprisings, riots and terrorist acts;
 
    unexpected changes in regulatory requirements affecting oil and natural gas exploration and development activities;
 
    fluctuations in currency exchange rates and the value of the U.S. dollar;
 
    restrictions on repatriation of earnings or expropriation of property without fair compensation;
 
    governmental actions that result in the deprivation of contract or proprietary rights in the countries in which Smith operates; and
 
    governmental sanctions.
     Smith operates in a highly technical and competitive environment.
     Smith operates in a highly competitive business environment. Accordingly, demand for Smith’s products and services is largely dependent on its ability to provide leading-edge, technology-based solutions that reduce the operator’s overall cost of developing energy assets. If competitive or other market conditions impact Smith’s ability to continue providing superior-performing product offerings, Smith’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted.
Regulatory compliance costs and liabilities could adversely impact Smith’s earnings and cash available for operations.
     Smith is exposed to a variety of federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relating to matters such as the use of hazardous materials, health and safety, labor and employment, import/export control, currency exchange, bribery, corruption and taxation, and environmental, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, water discharge and waste management. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. In the event the scope of these laws and regulations expand in the future, the incremental cost of compliance could adversely impact Smith’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For example, the adoption of more stringent laws and regulations curtailing the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities could adversely affect Smith’s operations by limiting demand for its products and services.
Smith’s industry is experiencing more litigation involving claims of infringement of intellectual property rights.
     Over the past few years, Smith’s industry has experienced increased litigation related to the infringement of intellectual property rights. Although no material matters are pending or threatened at this time, Smith, as well as certain of its competitors, has been named as defendants in various intellectual property matters in the past. These types of claims are typically costly to defend, involve monetary judgments that, in certain circumstances, are subject to being enhanced and are often brought in venues that have proved to be favorable to plaintiffs. If Smith is served with an intellectual property claim that it is unsuccessful in defending, it could adversely impact Smith’s results of operations and cash flows.
Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
     The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program that allows for the purchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to regulatory issues, market considerations and other relevant factors. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the program. The number of shares that may be purchased under the program as of June 30, 2009 is 15,158,913. Prior to March 31, 2009, the Company has repurchased 4.8 million shares at an average cost of $43.61 per share under the program. The acquired shares have been added to the Company’s treasury stock holdings. Certain participants in the long-term incentive plans surrender shares of common stock in order to satisfy tax withholding obligations. These shares are not considered acquisitions under the Company’s share repurchase program.
