PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Dril-Quip" or the "Company"), is
one of the world's leading manufacturers of highly engineered offshore
drilling and production equipment which is well suited for use in deepwater,
harsh environment and severe service applications. The Company designs and
manufactures subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment
for use by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and
gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. The Company's principal
products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface
production trees, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated
pipe, drilling and production riser systems, wellhead connectors and
diverters. The Company also provides installation and reconditioning services
and rents running tools for use in connection with the installation and
retrieval of its products.
Dril-Quip has developed its broad line of subsea equipment, surface
equipment and offshore rig equipment primarily through its internal product
development efforts. The Company believes that it has achieved significant
market share and brand name recognition with respect to its established
products due to the technological
1
capabilities, reliability, cost effectiveness and operational timesaving
features of these products. In particular, the Company's Quik-Thread(R) and
Quik-Stab(R) specialty connectors, MS-15(R) mudline hanger systems and SS-
10(R) and SS-15(R) subsea wellheads are among the most widely used in the
industry. During the 1990s, the Company introduced a number of new products,
including diverters, wellhead connectors, dual-bore and single-bore subsea
production trees, subsea and platform valves, platform wellheads, platform
trees, drilling risers and Spar and TLP production risers. In the last year,
Dril-Quip developed a number of new products, including the SS-15 Big Bore
Subsea wellhead system, the SS-15ES Deepwater Wellhead System, the Quik-Lok
High Preload Specialty Casing Connector and an ultra-deepwater subsea
production tree.
Dril-Quip markets its products through its offices and sales representatives
located in all of the major international energy markets throughout the world.
In 1999, the Company generated approximately 48% of its revenues from foreign
sales. The Company manufactures its products at its facilities located in
Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; and Singapore, and maintains additional
facilities for fabrication and/or reconditioning in Norway, Denmark and
Australia. Dril-Quip's manufacturing operations are vertically integrated,
with the Company performing substantially all of its forging, heat treating,
machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing at its own
facilities.
The Company was co-founded as a Texas corporation in 1981 by Larry E.
Reimert, Gary D. Smith, J. Mike Walker and Gary W. Loveless. Together, Messrs.
Reimert, Smith and Walker have over 90 years of combined experience in the
oilfield equipment industry, essentially all of which has been with the
Company and its major competitors. In addition, key department managers have
been with the Company over 10 years, on average. The Company was
reincorporated as a Delaware corporation on August 12, 1997.
Industry Overview
Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services
and the Company's business are substantially dependent on the condition of the
oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas
companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production
operations offshore. The level of capital expenditures is generally dependent
upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by
numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including
worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital,
environmental regulation, tax policies, and the ability of OPEC and other
producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. Capital
expenditures are also dependent on the cost of exploring for and producing oil
and gas, the sale and expiration dates of offshore leases in the United States
and overseas, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas
and technological advances. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore
drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by
significant volatility.
The decline in worldwide offshore exploration and production activity which
began in 1998 continued during 1999. This reduction in offshore activity
occurred as oil and gas companies reduced their budgets in response to low oil
prices that began in 1998 and continued through the first half of 1999.
Consequently, demand for Dril-Quip products, particularly those products used
in drilling and producing economically marginal properties, declined. Although
oil prices rebounded in the last half of 1999, any future decline in
hydrocarbon prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that the current
oil price levels will lead to increased oil and gas exploration and production
activity or that demand for the Company's products and services will reflect
such improvement, if any.
Products and Services
Product Group
Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and
markets subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment. In
1999, the Company derived approximately 88.3% of its revenues from the sale of
its products. The Company's products are used to explore for oil and gas on
offshore drilling rigs, such as floating rigs and jack-ups, and for drilling
and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, TLPs, Spars
2
and moored vessels such as FPSOs. TLPs are floating production platforms that
are connected to the ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers (called tension
legs). A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven
times longer than its diameter that is anchored in place (like a Spar buoy).
FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels.
Sales of the Company's equipment in connection with TLPs, Spars and FPSOs are
becoming increasingly important sources of revenues.
Subsea Equipment. Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of
offshore oil and gas wells around the world. Included in the subsea equipment
product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty
connectors and associated pipe, subsea production trees, valves and TLP and
Spar well systems.
Subsea wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings
in which casing hangers are landed and sealed subsea to suspend casing
(downhole pipe). As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter
casing strings are installed, each suspended by an independent casing hanger.
Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs,
either semi-submersible or drillship types, and TLPs and Spars. In 1999, the
Company introduced its SS-15 Big Bore Subsea Wellhead System, which was
designed to accommodate additional casing strings installed through a
conventional marine riser and a subsea blowout preventer. The Company
generally supplies subsea wellheads to customers from inventory.
Mudline hanger systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support
the weight of the various casing strings at the ocean floor while drilling a
well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an
orderly manner at the ocean floor after the well has been drilled, and
subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it
back vertically to a subsequently-installed platform or by installing a subsea
tree. The Company generally supplies mudline hanger systems to customers from
inventory.
Large diameter weld-on specialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used
in offshore wells drilled from floating drilling rigs, jack-ups, fixed
platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or
large diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a
more rapid connection than other methods of connecting lengths of pipe.
Connectors may be sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to
sections of Company or customer supplied pipe. Dril-Quip's weld-on specialty
connectors are designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick,
convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity
compatible with casing strength. The Company generally supplies specialty
connectors individually or specialty connectors welded to pipe from inventory.
A subsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a wellhead
connector, control equipment and various other components installed on a
subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil
and gas from a producing well. Subsea trees may be either stand alone
satellite type or template mounted cluster arrangements. Both types typically
produce via flowlines to a central control point located on a platform, TLP,
Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly
important method for producing wells located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas
or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an
established manufacturer of more complicated dual-bore production trees, which
are used in severe service applications. In addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a
patented single bore (SingleBore(TM)) subsea completion system which features
a hydraulic mechanism instead of a wireline-installed mechanism that allows
the operator to plug the tubing hanger annulus remotely from the surface via a
hydraulic control line and subsequently unplug it when the well is put on
production. This mechanism eliminates the need for an expensive multibore
installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation
time. In addition, Dril-Quip introduced a new guidelineless subsea production
tree in 1999 for use in ultra-deepwater applications. This tree features
remote multiple flowline and control connections, utilizing remotely operated
intervention tools. This product is scheduled for installation during the
first half of 2000. The Company's subsea production trees are generally custom
designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
Surface Equipment. Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on
offshore production platforms, TLPs and Spars. Included in the Company's
surface equipment product line are platform wellheads and platform
3
production trees. Dril-Quip's development of platform wellheads and platform
production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its existing subsea wellhead
and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.
Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal
housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed at the platform deck to
suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing
wellhead systems with operational time-saving features which can be used in
high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and production
applications.
After installation of a wellhead, a platform production tree, consisting of
gate valves, a wellhead connector, controls, tree cap and associated
equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas
production. Platform production trees are similar to subsea production trees
but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than hydraulically
activated, valves and connectors. Platform wellheads and platform production
trees and associated equipment are designed and manufactured in accordance
with customer specifications.
Offshore Rig Equipment. Offshore rig equipment includes drilling and
production riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. The drilling
riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser
connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the telescopic joint, which
connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at the rig and
provides a means to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the
ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector, which provides a means for
remote connection and disconnection of the drilling riser system to and from
the BOP stack. Production risers provide a vertical conduit from the subsea
wellhead to a TLP, Spar or FPSO. The wellhead connector also provides remote
connection/disconnection of the BOP stack, production tree or production riser
to/from the wellhead. Diverters are used to provide protection from shallow
gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation.
Wellhead connectors and drilling and production riser systems are also used
on both TLPs and Spars, which are being installed more frequently in deepwater
applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs,
rig upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Diverters, drilling and production risers and
wellhead connectors are generally designed and manufactured to customer
specifications.
Certain products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling,
completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product
liability and environmental claims. Litigation arising from a catastrophic
occurrence at a location where the Company's equipment and/or services are
used may in the future result in the Company being named as a defendant in
lawsuits asserting potentially large claims. The Company maintains insurance
coverage that it believes is customary in the industry. Such insurance does
not, however, provide coverage for all liabilities (including liability for
certain events involving pollution), and there is no assurance that its
insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that the
Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates it considers
reasonable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.
Service Group
Dril-Quip's Service Group provides field installation services,
reconditioning of its products which are customer-owned, and rental running
tools for installation and retrieval of its products. These services are
provided from the Company's worldwide locations and represented approximately
11.7% of revenues in 1999.
Field Installation. Dril-Quip provides field installation services through
the use of its technicians. These technicians assist in the onsite
installation of Company products and are available on a 24-hour call out from
the Company's facilities located in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland;
Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Singapore; and Perth, Australia.
Reconditioning. The Company provides reconditioning of its products at its
facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; and
Singapore.
4
Rental. The Company rents running and installation tools for use in
installing its products. These tools are used to install and retrieve Company
products which are purchased by customers. Running tools are available from
Dril-Quip's locations in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger,
Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Beverwijk, Holland; Singapore; and Perth, Australia.
Manufacturing
Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen,
Scotland; and Singapore. Each location conducts a broad variety of processes,
including machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing. The
Houston facility provides forged and heat treated products to all the major
manufacturing facilities.
The Company's Houston and Aberdeen manufacturing plants are ISO 9001 and
American Petroleum Institute certified. In addition, the Company's
manufacturing facility in Singapore is ISO 9001 certified. See "Properties--
Major Manufacturing Facilities." Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of
product quality through the use of quality assurance specialists who work with
product manufacturing personnel throughout the manufacturing process by
inspecting and documenting equipment as it is processed through the Company's
manufacturing facilities. The Company has the capability to manufacture
various products from each of its product lines at its major manufacturing
facilities and believes that this localized manufacturing capability is
essential in order to compete with the Company's major competitors.
The Company's manufacturing process is vertically integrated, producing, in
house, approximately 80% of its forging requirements and essentially all of
its heat treatment, machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing.
The Company's primary raw material is cast steel ingots, from which it
produces steel shaped forgings at its forging and heat treatment facility. The
Company routinely purchases steel ingots from approximately four suppliers on
a purchase order basis and does not have any long-term supply contracts. The
Company's Houston facility provides forgings and heat treatment for its
Aberdeen and Singapore facilities. The Company's major competitors depend on
outside sources for all or a substantial portion of their forging and heat
treatment requirements. The Company has made significant capital investments
in developing its vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Prolonged
periods of low demand in the market for offshore drilling and production
equipment could have a greater effect on the Company than on certain of its
competitors that have not made large capital investments in facilities.
Dril-Quip's manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer
numerically controlled ("CNC") machine tools and equipment, which contribute
to the Company's product quality and timely delivery. The Company has also
developed a cost effective, in-house machine tool rebuild capability which
produces "like new" machine upgrades with customized features to enhance the
economic manufacture of its specialized products. The Company purchases
quality used machine tools as they become available and stores them at its
facilities to be rebuilt and upgraded as the need arises. Rebuilding used
machine tools allows for greater customization suitable for manufacturing
Dril-Quip proprietary product lines. This provides the added advantage of
requiring only in-house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these
machines. A significant portion of the Company's manufacturing capacity growth
has been through the rebuild/upgrade of quality used machine tools, including
the replacement of outdated control systems with state-of-the-art CNC
controls.
In 1997, in conjunction with its initial public offering, the Company
announced a three-year, $50 million capital expansion program to increase its
manufacturing capacity by approximately 90%. During 1998 and 1999, this
expansion continued as the Company increased its facilities at its Eldridge
site in Houston, Texas from approximately 280,000 square feet at the end of
1997 to approximately 768,000 square feet at the end of 1999. Facility
expansions included additions to the Company's rough-out machine shop, forge
and heat treat building, blast and paint facilities, and fabrication building.
Additionally, a new machine shop was erected which will allow for the 2000
consolidation of finish machine operations under one roof. A new riser tower
and test pit and a new riser fabrication and assembly building have also been
added at the Eldridge site. The original three-year capital expenditure
program is expected to be completed during 2000.
5
Customers
The Company's principal customers are major integrated oil and gas
companies, large independent oil and gas companies and foreign national oil
and gas companies. Offshore drilling contractors and engineering and
construction companies also represent a minor customer base. The Company's
customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants
in offshore exploration and production.
In 1999, Chevron USA Production Company accounted for approximately 15% of
the Company's total revenues. However, the Company is not dependent on any one
customer or group of customers. The number and variety of the Company's
products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount
of that customer's capital expenditure budget devoted to offshore exploration
and production in any single year and on the results of competitive bids for
major projects. Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant
portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of
revenues in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one
customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of its significant
customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
Marketing and Sales
Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly
through its sales personnel in two domestic and ten international locations.
In addition, in certain foreign markets where the Company does not maintain
offices, it utilizes independent sales representatives to enhance its
marketing and sales efforts. Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has
sales representatives are the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, India,
Canada, the Philippines, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kuwait, Brunei, Oman,
Qatar and West Africa. Although they do not have authority to contractually
bind the Company, these representatives market the Company's products in their
respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company also
places print advertising from time to time in trade and technical publications
targeted to its customer base. It also participates in industry conferences
and trade shows to enhance industry awareness of its products.
The Company's customers generally order products on a purchase order basis.
Orders are typically filled within two weeks to three months after receipt of
a purchase order, depending on the type of product and whether it is sold out
of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the
Company's larger, more complex products, such as subsea production trees,
drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars can take a year or more to
complete.
The primary factors influencing a customer's decision to purchase the
Company's products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product,
price and technologically superior features. Timely delivery of equipment is
also very important to customer operations and the Company maintains an
experienced sales coordination staff to help assure such delivery. For large
drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate
customer needs with engineering, manufacturing and service organizations, as
well as with subcontractors and vendors.
A portion of the Company's business consists of designing, manufacturing,
selling and installing equipment for major projects pursuant to competitive
bids, and the number of such projects in any year fluctuates. The Company's
profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and
cost effective bids and performing efficiently in accordance with bid
specifications. Various factors can adversely affect the Company's performance
on individual projects, with potential adverse effects on project
profitability.
Product Development and Engineering
The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase
as offshore exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments.
Conditions encountered in these environments include well pressures of up to
15,000 psi (pounds per square inch), mixed flows of oil and gas under high
pressure that may also be highly corrosive and water depths in excess of 5,000
feet. Since its founding, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing
6
product development to generate new products and improve existing products.
When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most
technologically advanced version for a particular application to establish its
reputation and qualification in that product. Thereafter, the Company
leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to
produce less costly and complex versions of the product for less demanding
applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the overall
cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but
also operating costs associated with its products.
The Company has continually introduced new products and product enhancements
since its founding in 1981. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of
new products, including diverters, wellhead connectors, SingleBore(TM) subsea
trees, improved severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform
valves, platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser
systems, drilling risers and TLP and Spar production riser systems.
Dril-Quip's product development work is conducted at its facilities in
Houston, Texas and Aberdeen, Scotland. In addition to the work of its product
development staff, the Company's application engineering staff provides
engineering services to customers in connection with the design and sales of
its products. The Company's ability to develop new products and maintain
technological advantages is important to its future success. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to develop new products, successfully
differentiate itself from its competitors or adapt to evolving markets and
technologies.
The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the
technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than
on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its
ongoing product development and manufacturing activities, Dril-Quip's policy
has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new
products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by
employees are assigned to the Company and almost all of the Company's products
have components that are covered by patents. The Company's existing patents
expire at various times beginning as early as 2001.
Dril-Quip has numerous U.S. registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip(R),
Quik-Thread(R), Quick-Stab(R), Multi-Thread(R), MS-15(R), SS-15(R), SS-10(R),
SU-90(R) and DX(R). The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries
where such registration is deemed material.
Although in the aggregate the Company's patents and trademarks are of
considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its
products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or
group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole,
except the Dril-Quip(R) trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret
protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company
routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees and
suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not
independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to the
Company's trade secrets.
Competition
Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers of
exploration and production equipment. Several of its primary competitors are
diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs
and greater capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many
instances, have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer
time than the Company. The Company competes principally with ABB Vetco Gray
Inc. (a subsidiary of Asea Brown Boveri, more commonly referred to as ABB),
the petroleum production equipment segment of Cooper Cameron Corporation, the
Petroleum Equipment Group of FMC Corporation and Kvaerner National Ltd. (a
division of Kvaerner A.S.).
Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of these
companies have the ability to provide "turnkey" services for offshore drilling
and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to
the exclusion of Dril-Quip's products. The Company also competes to a lesser
extent with a number of other companies in various products. The principal
competitive factors in the petroleum drilling and production equipment markets
are quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology,
service and timely delivery.
7
Employees
The total number of the Company's employees as of December 31, 1999 was
1,061. Of these, 759 were located in the United States. The Company's
employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Company
considers its employee relations to be good.
The Company's operations depend in part on its ability to attract a skilled
labor force. While the Company believes that its wage rates are competitive
and that its relationship with its skilled labor force is good, a significant
increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction
of the Company's skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates paid by the
Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term,
the profits realized by the Company from work in progress would be reduced
and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the
Company could be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be
impaired.
Governmental Regulations
Many aspects of the Company's operations are affected by political
developments and are subject to both domestic and foreign governmental
regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, worker safety
and the protection of the environment. In addition, the Company depends on the
demand for its services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is
affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations
relating to the oil and gas industry generally, including those specifically
directed to offshore operations. The adoption of laws and regulations
curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic
or other policy reasons could adversely affect the Company's operations by
limiting demand for the Company's products.
In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of
the environment. Offshore drilling in certain areas has been opposed by
environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. To the extent
that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or restrict offshore
drilling or impose additional environmental protection requirements that
result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the
offshore drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be
adversely affected. The Company cannot determine to what extent its future
operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or
changes in existing regulations.
The Company's operations are affected by numerous foreign, federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations. The technical requirements of
these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly expensive, complex and
stringent. These laws may provide for "strict liability" for damages to
natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party
liable for the environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on
the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of
permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and
criminal prosecution. Certain environmental laws provide for joint and several
strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous
substances. In addition, companies may be subject to claims alleging personal
injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous
substances, as well as damage to natural resources. Such laws and regulations
may also expose the Company to liability for the conduct of or conditions
caused by others, or for acts of the Company that were in compliance with all
applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. Compliance with
environmental laws and regulations may require the Company to obtain permits
or other authorizations for certain activities and to comply with various
standards or procedural requirements. The Company believes that its facilities
are in substantial compliance with current regulatory standards.
Based on the Company's experience to date, the Company does not currently
anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or consolidated
financial position as a result of future compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into
the environment. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and
regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of
regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws
and regulations, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may
be material.

Overview
Dril-Quip manufactures highly engineered offshore drilling and production
equipment which is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and
severe service applications. The Company designs and manufactures subsea
equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment for use by major
integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in
offshore areas throughout the world. The Company's principal products consist
of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, mudline
hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and
production riser systems, wellhead connectors and diverters. Dril-Quip also
provides installation and reconditioning services and rents running tools for
use in connection with the installation and retrieval of its products.
Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services
and the Company's business are substantially dependent on the condition of the
oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas
companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production
operations offshore. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and
production activity have historically been characterized by significant
volatility.
The decline in worldwide offshore exploration and production activity which
began in 1998 continued during 1999. This reduction in offshore activity
occurred as oil and gas companies reduced their budgets in response to low oil
prices that began in 1998 and continued through the first half of 1999.
Consequently, demand for Dril-Quip products, particularly those products used
in drilling and producing economically marginal properties, declined. Although
oil prices rebounded in the last half of 1999, any future decline in
hydrocarbon prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations. There can be no assurance that the current
oil price levels will lead to increased oil and gas exploration and production
activity or that demand for the Company's products and services will reflect
such improvement, if any.
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in
all of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is,
therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international
operations and investments in foreign countries. These risks include
nationalization, expropriation, war and civil disturbance, restrictive action
by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in
foreign tax laws and change in currency exchange rates, any of which could
have an adverse effect on either the Company's ability to manufacture its
products in its facilities abroad or the demand in certain regions for the
Company's products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any
significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government
actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems
will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Company's international
operations could have a material adverse effect on its overall operations.
Dril-Quip's revenues are generated by its two operating groups: the Product
Group and the Service Group. The Product Group manufactures offshore drilling
and production equipment, and the Service Group provides installation and
reconditioning services as well as rental running tools for installation and
retrieval of its products. In 1999, the Company derived 88.3% of its revenues
from the sale of its products and 11.7% of its revenues from services.
Revenues from the Service Group generally correlate to revenues from product
sales, because increased product sales generate increased revenues from
installation services and rental running tools. The Company has substantial
international operations, with approximately 60%, 62% and 48% of its revenues
derived from foreign sales in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. During the
same years, approximately 74% of all products sold were manufactured in the
United States.
Historically, Drip-Quip recognized revenues upon the delivery of a completed
product. Beginning in 1997, the Company began receiving orders relating to
larger and more complex projects that have longer manufacturing time frames.
The Company accounts for such projects on a percentage of completion basis and
revenues are generally recognized on the ratio of costs incurred to the total
estimated costs. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed
periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the
percentage of completion are reflected in the period when such estimates are
revised.
13
The principal elements of cost of sales are labor, raw materials and
manufacturing overhead. Variable costs, such as labor, raw materials, supplies
and energy, generally account for approximately two-thirds of the Company's
cost of sales. The Company has experienced increased labor costs over the past
few years due to the limited supply of skilled workers. Fixed costs, such as
the fixed portion of manufacturing overhead, constitute the remainder of the
Company's cost of sales. The Company continually seeks to improve its
efficiency and cost position. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is
also influenced by the product mix sold in any particular quarter and market
conditions. The Company's costs related to its foreign operations do not
significantly differ from its domestic costs.

===== ===== =====
Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998
Revenues. Revenues decreased by $21.2 million, or approximately 12%, to
$156.4 million in 1999 from $177.6 million in 1998. The decrease was primarily
attributable to depressed oil prices that began in 1998 and continued through
the first half of 1999, which led to worldwide exploration and production
budget cuts by most major oil companies. These reductions have resulted in
pricing pressure and lower demand for Dril-Quip products. Revenue decreases of
$17.5 million and $8.6 million in the European area and the Asia-Pacific area,
respectively, were offset by increased sales in the United States area of $4.9
million. Domestic sales in the United States area increased by $15.6 million,
or 23.3%, while export sales in the United States area decreased by $10.7
million, or 32.6%.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales decreased by $12.5 million, or 11%, to $106.4
million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 from $118.9 million for
the same period in 1998. However, as a percentage of revenues, cost of sales
increased from 67% in 1998 to 68% in 1999, primarily due to pricing pressure
resulting from lower demand for Dril-Quip products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For both the twelve months
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses
were $21.3 million Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of revenues from 12% in 1998 to approximately 13.6% in 1999.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. During the year ended December
31, 1999, engineering and product development expenses decreased by $946
thousand, or 8%, to $11.0 million from $12.0 million during the same period in
1998. This decrease primarily reflects a decreased number of personnel. As a
percentage of revenues, engineering and product development expenses increased
slightly from 6.7% in 1998 to approximately 7.0% in 1999.
14
Interest Expense/Income. Interest income for 1999 was $440 thousand,
compared to interest income of $1.2 million for the prior year. This change
was primarily due to lower cash balances resulting from reduced operating
income and the Company using the proceeds from its initial public offering to
fund capital expenditures.
Net Income. Net income decreased by $5.6 million, or 32%, from $17.4 million
in 1998 to $11.8 million in 1999 for the reasons set forth above.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997
Revenues. Revenues increased by $30.8 million, or approximately 21%, to
$177.6 million in 1998 from $146.8 million in 1997. This increase relates to
increased sales in the United States area of $34.4 million, decreased revenues
of $1.2 million in the European area and decreased sales of $2.4 million in
the Asia-Pacific area. Domestic sales in the United States area increased by
$8.8 million, or 15%, while export sales in the United States area increased
by $25.6 million, or 343%. These increases were mainly due to increased
manufacturing capacity and increased sales of new products related to larger
and longer-term projects.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $19.1 million, or 19%, to $118.9
million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 from $99.8 million for
the same period in 1997. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales decreased
from 68% in 1997 to 67% in 1998. This decrease in cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues was primarily due to strong market demand for new
products related to larger and longer-term projects.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$5 million, or 31%, to $21.3 million from $16.3 million in the 1997 period.
This increase was due to an increased number of personnel needed to support
higher sales volumes and increased labor costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues from 11% in 1997
to approximately 12% in 1998.
Engineering and Product Development Expenses. During the year ended December
31, 1998, engineering and product development expenses increased by $2.8
million, or 31%, to $12 million from $9.2 million during the same period in
1997. This increase primarily reflects an increased number of personnel, and
to a lesser extent, increased development testing related to new products. As
a percentage of revenues, engineering and product development expenses
increased from 6.2% in 1997 to approximately 6.7% in 1998.
Interest Expense/Income. Interest income for 1998 was $1.2 million, compared
to interest expense of $2.0 million for the prior year. This change was
primarily due to the repayment of substantially all of the Company's bank debt
during the fourth quarter of 1997 and interest income earned on cash generated
by the Offering.
Net Income. Net income increased by $4.5 million, or 35%, from $12.9 million
in 1997 to $17.4 million in 1998 for the reasons set forth above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary liquidity needs of the Company are (i) to fund capital
expenditures to increase manufacturing capacity, improve and expand facilities
and manufacture additional rental running tools and (ii) to fund working
capital. The Company's principal sources of funds are cash flows from
operations and bank indebtedness. However, as a result of the Company's
October 1997 initial public offering of common stock, all of the Company's
bank indebtedness was repaid in 1997. Since that time, the Company has used
the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and cash flows from
operations as its principal sources of funds.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 million in 1997, $9.1
million in 1998 and $18.4 million in 1999. Improvements in cash flow from
operating activities in 1999 were principally the result of decreased working
capital requirements attributable to decreases in trade receivables and
inventories, offset by decreases in trade accounts payable, accrued expenses
and net income. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities in 1998
was the result
15
of a substantial increase in accounts receivable, offset by improved operating
results. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1999 decreased 17% over December
31, 1998 levels compared to a 12% decrease in revenues for the year. The
disproportionate decrease in accounts receivable was due to timing of cash
receipts and billings related to long-term projects.
Capital expenditures by the Company were $10.4 million, $29.6 million and
$19.9 million in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Principal payments on
long-term debt were $36.3 million, $200 thousand and $165 thousand in 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively.
On August 27, 1999, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank
One, Texas, N.A. which provides for an unsecured revolving line of credit of
up to $10 million. At the election of the Company, borrowing under this
facility bears interest at either a rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank
Offered Rate) plus 2% or the Bank One base rate. In addition, the facility
calls for quarterly interest payments and terminates on August 27, 2001. To
date, there have been no drawdowns under this facility.
The Company believes that cash on hand plus cash generated from operations
(in conjunction with its existing revolving line of credit, if necessary) will
be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs and anticipated
capital expenditure requirements. However, should the above-mentioned market
conditions result in unexpected cash requirements, the Company believes that
additional borrowing from commercial lending institutions would be readily
available and more than adequate to meet such requirements.
Backlog
Backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase order has been
received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is
scheduled. The Company's backlog was approximately $130 million at December
31, 1998 and was approximately $81 million at December 31, 1999. This decrease
in backlog was primarily attributable to reduced demand for Dril-Quip products
resulting from the decline in worldwide exploration and production activity.
The Company expects to fill approximately 70% of the December 31, 1999 backlog
by December 31, 2000. The remaining backlog at December 31, 1999 consists of
longer-term projects that will be designed and manufactured to customer
specifications rather than sold out of inventory. The Company can give no
assurance that backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of the Company's
products are affected by prices for oil and natural gas, which fluctuated
significantly during 1998 and 1999. Any future decline in oil and natural gas
prices could reduce new customer orders, which would cause the Company's
backlog to decline. All of the Company's projects currently included in its
backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the
customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is required to
pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a
result of the change or termination.
Geographic Areas
The Company's operations are divided into three geographic areas based upon
the locations of its manufacturing facilities: the United States (Houston,
Texas); Europe, Middle East and Africa (Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific
(Singapore). The United States area includes sales to both North and South
America. The area of Europe, Middle East and Africa includes primarily sales
to the North Sea, the Middle East and Africa. The Asia-Pacific area includes
sales primarily to Australia, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Revenues for each of these areas are dependent upon the ultimate sale of
products and services to the Company's customers. For information on revenues
by geographic area, see note 10 "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data" on page 29. Revenues of the United States area are
also influenced by its sale of products to the European and Asia-Pacific
subsidiaries. Accordingly, the operating incomes of each area are closely tied
to third-party sales, and the operating income of the United States area is
also dependent upon its level of intercompany sales.
16
Currency Risk
Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of business in
currencies other than the United States dollar, principally the British pound
sterling and the Norwegian kroner. The Company generally attempts to minimize
its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in local
currency in amounts equal to the Company's estimated operating costs payable
in local currency and in U.S. dollars for the balance of the contract and by
contractual purchase price adjustments based on an exchange rate formula
related to U.S. dollars. Because of this strategy, the Company has not
experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in
currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material
in the future. In 1997, the Company had an exchange gain, net of income taxes,
of approximately $1.0 million. In 1998 and 1999, the Company had net losses of
approximately $195 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively. The gain in 1997
was primarily related to the repayment of debt and the losses in 1998 and 1999
were the result of slight currency fluctuations on payables and trade
receivables. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect
itself against such fluctuations in the future. Historically, the Company has
not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings.
However, as the Company expands its international operations, it may begin
operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, there can be no
assurance that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not
adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future. The Company
also has significant investments in countries other than the United States,
principally its manufacturing operations in Aberdeen, Scotland and, to a
lesser extent, Singapore. The functional currency of these foreign operations
is the local currency and, accordingly, financial statement assets and
liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Resulting translation
adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity and
have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.
Year 2000
Historically, certain computerized systems have used two digits rather than
four digits to define the applicable year, which could result in recognizing
the date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The Company
experienced no critical failures during the date roll-over from 1999 to 2000,
nor do we anticipate any critical failures during 2000.
Prior to the date roll-over, the Company addressed the Year 2000 problem
internally and progress was regularly reported to management and the board of
directors. The Company completed assessment, remediation and testing phases of
its Year 2000 program in the areas of information systems and automated
production systems prior to the date roll-over. The Company had also contacted
substantially all of its third party suppliers and vendors about their Year
2000 readiness prior to the date roll-over.
Although the Company believes that internal Year 2000 issues pose no
material threat to its business, results of operations or financial condition,
we cannot predict the potential impact of any post roll-over failures
experienced by third parties critical to the Company's operations. Post roll-
over Year 2000 failures among critical third parties could possibly cause
significant business interruptions. At this time, we cannot quantify the
potential impact of such failures. For this reason, the Company remains on
alert for third party Year 2000 failures.
The total cost of the Company's Year 2000 program prior to the date roll-
over was less than $200,000 and was not material to the Company's operations,
liquidity or capital resources. The Company does not expect any material
additional costs. Costs have been handled within the current information
systems budget, and no special allocations have been made.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dril-Quip, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dril-Quip,
Inc., as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dril-Quip,
Inc., at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
1. Organization

production equipment, which is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh
environment and severe service applications. The Company's principal products
consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees,
mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and
production riser systems, wellhead connector and diverters for use by major
integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in
offshore areas throughout the world. Dril-Quip also provides installation and

installation and retrieval of its products. The Company has three subsidiaries
that manufacture and market the Company's products abroad. Dril-Quip (Europe)
Limited is located in Aberdeen, Scotland, with branches in Norway, Holland,
and Denmark. Dril-Quip Asia Pacific PTE Ltd. is located in Singapore. DQ
Holdings PTY Ltd. is located in Perth, Australia.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Short term investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the
date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. At December 31, 1998 and
1999, cash and cash equivalents include $10,075,000 and $9,265,000,
respectively, invested in United States Treasury money market funds.
Inventories
The Company's inventories are reported at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation
provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred
income taxes are provided on income and expenses which are reported in
different periods for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company delivers most of its products on an as-needed basis by its
customers and records revenues as the products are shipped. Certain revenues
are derived from long-term contracts which generally require more than one
year to fulfill. Revenues and profits on long-term contracts are recognized
under the percentage-of-completion method based on a cost-incurred basis.
Losses, if any, on contracts are recognized when they become known.
24
DRIL-QUIP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued
December 31, 1999
Contracts for long-term projects contain provisions for customer progress
payments. Payments in excess of revenues recognized are included as a customer
prepayment liability. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, trade receivables
included $10,458,000 and $11,032,000, respectively, in unbilled revenue, and
inventories have been reduced by $21,856,000 and $22,571,000, respectively,
for activities relating to long-term contracts.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S.
dollars at current exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are
translated at average rates during each reporting period. Translation
adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity and
have no current effect on earnings or cash flows. These adjustments amounted
to a loss of $2,978,000 in 1997, a gain of $324,000 in 1998 and a loss of
$1,053,000 in 1999, net of allocated income taxes of $772,000 $316,000 and $0,
respectively.
Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate
at the date of the settlement. Exchange gains (losses) were approximately
$1,080,000 in 1997, ($195,000) in 1998 and ($150,000) in 1999, net of income
taxes. These amounts are included in the consolidated statements of income.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting StandardsNo. 123. "Accounting For Stock Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for stock options granted under the Company's incentive plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt instruments. The carrying values
of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company grants credit to
its customers which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customer's financial condition and
generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for
potential losses and such losses have historically been within management's
expectations.
Comprehensive Income.
SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income, which includes
net income plus unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Comprehensive income has been reported in the Consolidated Statements of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2000--$88,000; 2001--$49,000;
2002--$12,000; 2003 and thereafter--$-0-.
On August 27, 1999, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank
One, Texas, N.A., which provides for an unsecured revolving line of credit of
up to $10.0 million. At the election of the Company, borrowings under this
facility bear interest at either a rate equal to LIBOR, plus 2% or the Bank
One base rate. In addition, the facility calls for quarterly interest payments
and terminates on August 27, 2001. At December 31, 1999, there were no amounts
outstanding under this facility.

Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered
to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal
income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in
the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S.
income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and
withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of
the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not
practicable.
The Company paid approximately $7,143,000, $8,813,000 and $8,116,000 in
income taxes in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

7. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a defined-contribution 401(k) plan covering domestic
employees and a defined-contribution pension plan covering certain foreign
employees. The Company generally makes contributions to the plans equal to
each participant's eligible contributions for the plan year up to a specified
percentage of the participant's annual compensation. The Company's
contribution expense was $601,000, $652,000 and $744,000 in 1997, 1998 and
1999, respectively.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases certain office, shop and warehouse facilities,
automobiles, and equipment. The Company expenses all lease payments when
incurred. Total lease expense incurred was $771,000, $1,167,000 and $1,266,000
in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Annual minimum lease commitments at
December 31, 1999 are as follows: 2000--$692,000; 2001--$386,000; and 2002--
$117,000 and thereafter--$4,000.
The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in
most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is,
therefore, subject to the risk customarily attendant to international
operations and dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry.
Additionally, products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous
drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal
injury, product liability, and environmental claims. Although exposure to such
risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no
assurance that future developments will not adversely impact the Company.
The Company is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate
liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
consolidated financial statements of the Company, although no assurance can be
given with respect to the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
9. Stockholders' Equity
In October 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering of
5,750,000 shares of its common stock (the "Offering") at a public offering
price of $24.00 per share. Of the 5,750,000 shares, 2,875,000 shares were sold
by the Company and 2,875,000 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders
of the Company. The Offering provided the Company with proceeds of
approximately $63 million, net of expenses.
Under a Stockholder Rights Plan adopted by the Board of Directors in 1997,
each share of common stock includes one Right to purchase from the Company a
unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a "Fractional Share") of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a specified purchase price
per Fractional Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Rights will
cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire the
Company without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors.

Export sales from the United States to unaffiliated customers consist of
worldwide sales outside the territorial waters of the United States. Europe
sales are primarily to the North Sea, with lesser sales to Africa and the
Middle East, while Asia-Pacific's sales are primarily to Australia, Thailand,
Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Eliminations of operating profits are related to intercompany inventory
transfers that are deferred until shipment is made to third party customers.
One of the Company's customers, the Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies,
accounted for approximately 11% and 13% of consolidated sales in 1997 and
1998, respectively. In 1998 and 1999, Chevron USA Production Company accounted
for approximately 11% and 15% of consolidated sales, respectively.
11. Employee Stock Option Plan and Awards
On September 19, 1997 the Company adopted the Dril-Quip, Inc. 1997 Incentive
Plan (the "1997 Plan"). The Company reserved 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock
for use in connection with the 1997 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under
the 1997 Plan are employees holding positions of responsibility with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1997 Plan have a
term of ten years and became exercisable in

Exercise price for options outstanding as of December 31, 1999, ranged from
$19.81 per share to $24.00 per share. The weighted-average remaining
contractual life at those options was 8.2 years.
The Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No.
25") and related interpretations in accounting for this plan. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized during the years ended December 31,
1997, 1998 and 1999. Under SFAS No. 123, pro forma information is required to
reflect the estimated effect on net income and earnings per share as if the
Company had accounted for the stock options and other awards granted using the
fair value method described in that Statement. The fair value was estimated at
the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions: a risk free rate of 6%, a volatility factor of the
expected market price of the Company's common stock of .761; and an expected
life of the options of 5 years. These assumptions resulted in a grant date
fair value for the options of $9.83 per share for the options granted in
October, 1997, $8.11 per share for the options granted in October, 1998 and
$15.49 per share for the options granted in October, 1999. The Company does
not presently anticipate issuing dividends in the future. Had compensation
cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the above plan consistent
with the method available under SFAS No. 123, the
