NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is party to various legal proceedings from time to time. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote or cannot be reasonably estimated. As such, the Company did not record a reserve for litigation as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Impulse Litigation

In conjunction with the DWS acquisition, $4.0 million of the purchase price (the “Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount”) was retained by the Company for purposes of funding any post-closing expenses and liabilities related to a patent infringement-related litigation matter to which DWS is a party, captioned Impulse Downhole Solutions Ltd., and Impulse Downhole Tools USA Ltd, v. Downhole Well Solutions, LLC, Civil Action No. 4:23-cv-02954, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division (the “Impulse Litigation”). The Company is entitled to a claw back of 80% of any post-closing expenses and liabilities related to the Impulse Litigation up to the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount and will be responsible for any expenses and liabilities related to the Impulse Litigation that exceed the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount. Upon the conclusion of the Impulse Litigation, the remaining balance of the Impulse Litigation Holdback Amount, if any, will be payable to the sellers in the DWS acquisition. We determined that at March 31, 2025, a loss associated with this litigation cannot be reasonably estimated, primarily due to it being in the early stages of the case.

Contingent Purchase Consideration

The acquisition of 1185641 B.C. LTD (d/b/a Great North Wellhead and Frac, “Great North”) by Dril-Quip in the third quarter of 2023 included a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to the sellers of Great North based on the future revenues of Great North for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. The revenue targets were not met for fiscal year 2024, and no payout was made. At March 31, 2025, the remaining undiscounted amounts Innovex could pay under the contingent consideration agreement ranges between zero and $10.4 million. Based on management’s estimate of revenue for fiscal year 2025, the probability of successfully achieving the minimum earn-out target is less than probable. As such, the Company did not record a liability for the contingent purchase consideration as of March 31, 2025.
