(1)
SLB recorded an adjustment of $166 million to write-up the acquired inventory to its estimated fair value. This adjustment will be amortized as the acquired inventory is sold.
(2)
Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, SLB completed the sale of ChampionX's Drilling Technologies business for net cash proceeds of $286 million.
(3)
The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to expected synergies that will result from combining the operations of SLB and ChampionX, as well as intangible assets which do not qualify for separate recognition. The amount of goodwill that is deductible for income tax purposes is not significant.
