Share Repurchase Program

On August 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company was authorized to purchase up to $80 million of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2024. The Company fully utilized this $80 million repurchase program as of December 31, 2024. On January 24, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $160 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company may from time to time repurchase common stock through various methods, including, but not limited to, open market, privately negotiated transaction, or by other means which comply with applicable state and federal securities laws. The amount and timing of any repurchase will depend on several factors, including share price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. All shares repurchased shall be retired pursuant to the terms of the share repurchase program. Depending on the timing of the retirement and cash settlement of the repurchased shares, the Company could have shares held in treasury stock until retired. Share repurchases made are subject to a 1% excise tax. The impact of this 1% excise tax was less than $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. In connection with the merger agreement with MRC Global, the Company has temporarily suspended share repurchase activity. The Company expects share repurchases to remain paused until the merger is completed.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")

The Company holds a 49% interest in one VIE located in the Middle East. The Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb the VIE’s losses or the right to receive benefits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was approximately nil and $1 million, respectively, compared to approximately $1 million for each corresponding period of 2024.

The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle its own obligations and its creditors have no recourse to the Company’s assets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the VIE’s assets were primarily current assets of $11 million and $10 million, respectively, and the liabilities were primarily current liabilities of $2 million in both periods.
