CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to statements of historical fact, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature or that relate to future events and conditions are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about Key Energy Services, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, our industry and management’s beliefs and assumptions concerning future events and financial trends affecting our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, you can identify these statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of performance. Future actions, events and conditions and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these statements. In evaluating those statements, you should carefully consider the information above as well as the risks outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Key Energy Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL
Key Energy Services, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its,” and “our”) provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services, fishing and rental services, and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain of our rigs are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the continental United States and have operations in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, the Middle East and Russia. In addition, we have a technology development and control systems business based in Canada.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed December 31, 2014 balance sheet was prepared from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”). Certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all normal and recurring material adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period, due to fluctuations in demand for our services, timing of maintenance and other expenditures, and other factors.
We have evaluated events occurring after the balance sheet date included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and through the date on which the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, for possible disclosure of a subsequent event.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to develop estimates and to make assumptions that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These estimates may also impact the nature and extent of our disclosure, if any, of our contingent liabilities. Among other things, we use estimates to (i) analyze assets for possible impairment, (ii) determine depreciable lives for our assets, (iii) assess future tax exposure and realization of deferred tax assets, (iv) determine amounts to accrue for contingencies, (v) value tangible and intangible assets, (vi) assess workers’ compensation, vehicular liability, self-insured risk accruals and other insurance reserves, (vii) provide allowances for our uncollectible accounts receivable, (viii) value our asset retirement obligations, and (ix) value our equity-based compensation. We review all significant estimates on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to publication of our financial statements. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates relate to improved information not previously available. Because of the limitations inherent in this process, our actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that the estimates used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are reasonable.
There have been no material changes or developments in our evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be a “Critical Accounting Policy or Estimate” as disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Developments
ASU 2015-03. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The objective of this ASU is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2015-03 in the second quarter of 2015 using the retrospective transition method. As a result, $10.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs on our December 31, 2014 balance sheet was reclassified from non-current assets to a direct deduction of long-term debt. The adoption of this standard did not affect our results of operations or cash flows.

7


ASU 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of this ASU is to establish the principles to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 must be adopted using either a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective method. During a July 2015 meeting, the FASB affirmed a proposal to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard for all entities by one year. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In April 2015, we announced our decision to exit markets in which we participate outside of North America. Our strategy is to sell or relocate the assets of the businesses operating in these markets. During the second quarter of 2015, certain assets of our Oman business unit, which is included in our International reporting segment, met the criteria for assets held for sale. We expect the sale of these assets to occur before the end of 2015. We recorded a $21.4 million impairment of fixed assets to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the fair market value.
In the third quarter of 2015, we transferred four rigs from Ecuador to the U.S. and sold the remaining operating assets of our Ecuadorian business unit at auction and recorded an impairment of $4.1 million to reduce the carrying of those assets to the price at which they were sold.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2015, the assets and related liabilities of our Bahrain business unit and certain assets of our Colombian business unit, which are included in our International reporting segment, and our Enhanced Oilfield Technology business unit, which is included in our Fishing and Rental reporting segment, met the criteria for assets held for sale. In Bahrain, we are negotiating to sell our subsidiary for $4.9 million. We expect this sale to be complete before the end of 2015. In Colombia, we relocated one rig to the U.S. in the third quarter of 2015 and plan to sell or relocate thirteen rigs to the U.S. in the fourth quarter. We plan to sell the remaining property and equipment, net, and inventories of our Colombian business unit in the fourth quarter of 2015. We are also planning to sell certain assets of our Enhanced Oilfield Technology business unit and expect this sale to be complete before the end of 2015. We recorded an impairment of $7.0 million, $25.3 million and $6.0 million for our Bahraini, Colombian and Enhanced Oilfield Technology business units, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of these assets and related liabilities to the fair market value.
The following assets and related liabilities are classified as held for sale on our September 30, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Certain of our other intangible assets are denominated in Russian Rubles and, as such, the values of these assets are subject to fluctuations associated with changes in exchange rates. Amortization expense for our intangible assets was $0.8 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $2.4 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
As a result of the planned sale of certain of our Enhanced Oilfield Technology business units assets, we will no longer be using a certain developed technology patent. As a result, we fully impaired the $3.4 million patent. In addition, we will no longer use our Edge tradename. As a result, we fully impaired the $1.5 million tradename. Both the Edge tradename and Enhanced Oilfield Technology developed technology patent were part of our Fishing and Rental Services segment.
We perform an analysis of goodwill impairment on an annual basis unless an event occurs that triggers additional interim testing. The decline in market value of our stock during the fourth quarter of 2014 was determined to be a triggering event making it necessary to perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test for our U.S. Rig Services, Coiled Tubing Services, Fishing and Rental Services, Fluid Management Services and International segments. Based on the results of our step one analysis, the fair value of our U.S. Rig Services, Fluid Management Services and Fishing and Rental Services segments exceeded their carrying values, but the analysis indicated potential impairment in our Coiled Tubing Services segment. Step two of the goodwill impairment testing for the Coiled Tubing Services segment was performed preliminarily during the fourth quarter of 2014 and our analysis concluded that $19.1 million of goodwill was impaired. During the first quarter of 2015, we engaged outside consultants to assist us in finalizing our step two testing. Based on the additional analysis performed, we concluded that there was an additional $21.7 million of goodwill that was impaired.
The additional decline in market value of our stock during the third quarter of 2015 as well as the persistent low oil prices and the affect that low oil prices have on our industry were also determined to be triggering events making it necessary to perform testing for possible goodwill impairment for our U.S. Rig Services, Coiled Tubing Services, Fishing and Rental Services, Fluid Management Services and International segments. Our analysis concluded that the remaining $561.0 million of goodwill of these segments was fully impaired. Also, during our goodwill analysis, there was an indication of impairment of fixed assets in our Coiled Tubing Services segment. See “Note 7. Impairment of Fixed Assets” for further discussion.
NOTE 7. IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS
The decline in market value of our common stock in comparison to the carrying value of our assets during the third quarter of 2015 as well as the persistent low oil prices and the affect that low oil prices have on our industry were determined to be goodwill testing triggering events. These triggering events required us to perform step one of the goodwill impairment test to identify potential impairment. Our step one testing indicated potential impairment in our Coiled Tubing Services segment which required us to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment, if any. Our preliminary step two testing performed during the third quarter of 2015, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, concluded that certain fixed assets were impaired. As a result, we recorded an estimated pre-tax charge of $45.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we will engage with outside consultants to assist us in finalizing the analysis needed to complete our step two testing and any adjustment to the amount recorded, which may be material, will be recorded at that time.

6.75% Senior Notes due 2021
We have outstanding $675.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2021 Notes are or will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on March 1, 2021.
On or after March 1, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

%
2017
102.250
%
2018
101.125
%
2019 and thereafter
100.000
%
At any time and from time to time prior to March 1, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium with respect to the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The premium is the excess of (i) the present value of the redemption price of 103.375% of the principal amount, plus all remaining scheduled interest payments due through March 1, 2016 discounted at the treasury rate plus 0.5% over (ii) the principal amount of the note. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we must give holders of the 2021 Notes the opportunity to sell to us their 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred equity interests;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests;
make loans and investments;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
sell, transfer or otherwise convey assets;
create liens;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
designate future subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the applicable entities’ assets.
These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions relating to the covenants of our Facilities discussed below. Substantially all of the covenants will terminate before the 2021 Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the 2021 Notes an investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of September 30, 2015, the 2021 Notes were rated below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to

13


apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the investment rating assigned to the 2021 Notes later falls below investment grade. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2015.
Credit Facilities due 2020
On June 1, 2015, we entered into a $100.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) due February 28, 2020 and a $315.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”) due June 1, 2020 (together, the “Facilities”). The Facilities replaced our existing $400 million 2011 Credit Facility (defined below).
The ABL Facility bears interest at an annual rate on outstanding borrowings of LIBOR plus 4.5%, with a fee on unused commitments ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% based on utilization. The Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount of 3.0% with an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.25% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor and a quarterly principal payment of $787,500 that will begin in the third quarter of 2015. The original issue discount of $9.4 million and $11.1 million of deferred financing costs will be amortized over the term of the Facilities.
The Facilities contain customary representations and warranties and certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions without the permission of the Facilities lenders or as permitted under the Facilities including the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, the making of investments, the payment of dividends and the sale of assets. The Facilities also contain financial covenants requiring that we maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0 and that liquidity, as defined in the Facilities agreements, must not be less than $100.0 million. The ABL also includes a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, which is tested only if excess availability under the ABL falls below a specified threshold or upon the occurrence of certain other events. Additionally, in certain situations, we may be required to offer to prepay some principal amounts under the Term Loan Facility including 50% of our fiscal excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan Facility agreement. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the Term Loan Facility agreement, the Company must offer to prepay all term loans (i) at a price of 101% of the amount outstanding if, after giving effect to such change of control, the asset coverage ratio is at least 1.5 to 1.0 or (ii) at a price equal to the greater of 101% of the amount outstanding and the applicable prepayment premium provided for in the Term Loan Facility if, after giving effect to such change of control, the asset coverage ratio is less than 1.5 to 1.0.
We were in compliance with covenants of the Facilities as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we have no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $48.2 million of letters of credit outstanding with borrowing capacity of $30.5 million available subject to covenant constraints under our ABL Facility.
The weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On June 1, 2015, in connection with entering into the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility, we terminated our senior secured revolving bank credit facility, dated as of March 31, 2011, as amended through December 5, 2014 (the “2011 Credit Facility”), which was scheduled to mature no later than March 31, 2016. The 2011 Credit Facility provided for a senior secured credit facility consisting of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing line facility of up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million. The 2011 Credit Facility was terminated without any prepayment penalties. The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.8 million were written off at the time of the termination.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the 2011 Credit Facility was, at our option, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (x) JPMorgan’s prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus in each case the applicable margin for all other loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans had ranged from 225 to 300 basis points, and the applicable margin for all other loans had ranged from 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility. Unused commitment fees on the facility was equal to 0.5%. The weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility were zero and 3.01% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility were 3.14% and 2.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

14


Letter of Credit Facility
On November 7, 2013, we entered into an uncommitted, unsecured $15.0 million letter of credit facility to be used solely for the issuances of performance letters of credit. As of September 30, 2015, $2.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the facility.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were 16.4% and 35.9%, respectively, and 19.7% and 29.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment expense and valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the third quarter, our effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, were 31.7% and 32.1%, respectively. Our effective tax rate varies due to the mix of pre-tax profit between the U.S. and international taxing jurisdictions with varying statutory rates, the impact of permanent differences, including goodwill impairment expense, and discrete tax adjustments, such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax expense or benefit recognized for uncertain tax positions. The variance between our effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate reflects international profits and losses subject to varying statutory rates, the impact of permanent items, including goodwill impairment expense and expenses subject to statutorily imposed limitations such as meals and entertainment expenses, plus the impact of state income taxes and discrete tax adjustments, such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax expense or benefit recognized for uncertain tax positions.
The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets each period by considering whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the third quarter we concluded that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the net operating loss carryforwards of certain of our international businesses will not be realized. As a result, we recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $23.0 million against the net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, net of federal tax benefit, which, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate. We recognized a tax expense of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, related to these items. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state tax matters through the year ended December 31, 2012.
We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. We have accrued a liability of $0.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We believe that it is reasonably possible that $0.6 million of our currently remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which is individually insignificant, may be recognized in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations and settlement of ongoing audits. No release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance was made during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. We conduct business throughout the continental United States and may be subject to jury verdicts or arbitrations that result in outcomes in favor of the plaintiffs. We are also exposed to various claims abroad. We continually assess our contingent liabilities, including potential litigation liabilities, as well as the adequacy of our accruals and our need for the disclosure of these items, if any. We establish a provision for a contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. We have $1.5 million of other liabilities related to litigation that is deemed probable and reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2015. We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters will result in an additional loss materially in excess of amounts that have been recorded.
Between May of 2013 and June of 2014, five lawsuits (four class actions and one enforcement action) were filed in California involving alleged violations of California's wage and hour laws. In general, the lawsuits allege failure to pay wages, including overtime and minimum wages, failure to pay final wages upon employment terminations in a timely manner, failure to reimburse reasonable and necessary business expenses, failure to provide wage statements consistent with California law, and violations of the California meal and break period laws, among other claims. Two of the five cases have been consolidated in United States District Court for the Central District of California. A hearing on the class certification motion was held August 10, 2015. As of October 30, 2015, no decision has been made by the court. One of the remaining cases has been stayed pending outcome of the class certification motion. The fourth case is waiting for a decision regarding whether it will move forward in California state court or in federal court. The fifth case is an enforcement action for civil penalties based on California’s Private Attorneys General Act, which is pending in California state court. We have investigated the claims in all five lawsuits, and intend to vigorously defend them. At this time, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In January 2014, the SEC advised Key that it is investigating possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) involving business activities of Key’s operations in Russia. In April 2014, we became aware of an allegation involving our Mexico operations that, if true, could potentially constitute a violation of certain of our policies, including our Code of Business Conduct, the FCPA and other applicable laws. On May 30, 2014, Key voluntarily disclosed the allegation involving our Mexico operations and certain information from the Company’s initial investigation to both the SEC and Department of Justice (“DOJ”). A Special Committee of our Board of Directors conducted an investigation regarding this allegation as well as possible violations of the FCPA involving business activities of our operations in Russia. The Special Committee’s independent review, which also included a review of certain aspects of the Company’s operations in Colombia, as well as a risk assessment with regard to our other international locations, has been completed. We are continuing to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ. At this time we are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies and, accordingly, cannot reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In August 2014, two class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated against the Company and certain officers of the Company, alleging violations of federal securities laws, specifically, violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10(b)-5, Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Those lawsuits were styled as follows: Sean Cady, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, and J. Marshall Dodson, No. 4:14-cv-2368, filed on August 15, 2014; and Ian W. Davidson, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, and J. Marshall Dodson, No. 4.14-cv-2403, filed on August 21, 2014. On December 11, 2014, the Court entered an order that consolidated the two lawsuits into one action, along with any future filed tag-along actions brought on behalf of purchasers of Key Energy Services, Inc. common stock. The order also appointed Inter-Local Pension Fund as the lead plaintiff in the class action and approved the law firm of Spector Roseman Kodroff & Willis, P.C. as lead counsel for the consolidated class and Kendall Law Group, LLP, as local counsel for the consolidated class. The lead plaintiff filed the consolidated amended complaint on February 13, 2015. Among other changes, the consolidated amended complaint adds Taylor M. Whichard III and Newton W. Wilson III as defendants, and seeks to represent a class of purchasers of the Company's stock between September 4, 2012 and July 17, 2014. Defendants Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, J. Marshall Dodson and Newton W. Wilson III filed a Motion to Dismiss on April 14, 2015. Defendant Taylor M. Whichard III filed a Joinder in Motion and Motion to Dismiss on the same date. Lead plaintiff filed an opposition to that motion, and all defendants filed reply briefs in support of the motion. The court has not ruled upon it. Because this case is in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcome at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In addition, in a letter dated September 4, 2014, a purported shareholder of the Company demanded that the Board commence an independent internal investigation into and legal proceedings against each member of the Board, a former member of the Board and certain officers of the Company for alleged violations of Maryland and/or federal law. The letter alleges that the Board and senior officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including the duty of loyalty and due care, by (i) improperly accounting for goodwill, (ii) causing the Company to potentially violate the FCPA, resulting in an investigation by the SEC, (iii) causing the Company to engage in improper conduct related to the Company’s Russia

16


operations; and (iv) making false statements regarding, and failing to properly account for, certain contracts with Pemex. As described in the letter, the purported shareholder believes that the legal proceedings should seek recovery of damages in an unspecified amount allegedly sustained by the Company. The Board of Directors referred the demand letter to the Special Committee. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In March 2015, two collective action lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (“FLSA”). We have answered the lawsuits and asserted affirmative defenses. Because the cases are in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcomes at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss for either case.
            In May 2015, a class and collective action lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, alleging violations of the FLSA and the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act. We have answered the lawsuit and asserted affirmative defenses. Because the case is in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcome at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss of this case.
Self-Insurance Reserves
We maintain reserves for workers’ compensation and vehicle liability on our balance sheet based on our judgment and estimates using an actuarial method based on claims incurred. We estimate general liability claims on a case-by-case basis. We maintain insurance policies for workers’ compensation, vehicle liability and general liability claims. These insurance policies carry self-insured retention limits or deductibles on a per occurrence basis. The retention limits or deductibles are accounted for in our accrual process for all workers’ compensation, vehicular liability and general liability claims. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have recorded $59.3 million and $61.0 million, respectively, of self-insurance reserves related to workers’ compensation, vehicular liabilities and general liability claims. Partially offsetting these liabilities, we had $18.3 million and $18.7 million of insurance receivables as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We believe that the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and do not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued for existing claims.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities
For environmental reserve matters, including remediation efforts for current locations and those relating to previously disposed properties, we record liabilities when our remediation efforts are probable and the costs to conduct such remediation efforts can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have recorded $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for our environmental remediation liabilities. We believe that the liabilities we have recorded are appropriate based on the known facts and circumstances and do not expect further losses materially in excess of the amounts already accrued.
NOTE 12. LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to Key by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based on the increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming conversion of potentially dilutive outstanding securities using the treasury stock and “as if converted” methods.
The components of our loss per share are as follows:

Stock options, warrants and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) are included in the computation of diluted loss per share using the treasury stock method. Restricted stock awards are legally considered issued and outstanding when granted and are included in basic weighted average shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 exclude the potential exercise of 1.0 million stock options and 0.3 million SARs and for the nine

17


months ended September 30, 2015 exclude the potential exercise of 1.3 million stock options and 0.3 million SARs as they would be anti-dilutive due to net loss during the period. The diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 exclude the potential exercise of 1.3 million stock options and 0.3 million SARs and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 exclude the potential exercise of 1.4 million stock options and 0.3 million SARs as they would be anti-dilutive due to net loss during the period. No events occurred after September 30, 2015 that would materially affect the number of weighted average shares outstanding.
NOTE 13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We recognized employee share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the related income tax benefit recognized was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the same periods. We recognized employee share-based compensation expense of $6.9 million and $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the related income tax expense recognized was $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the same period. We did not capitalize any share-based compensation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
The unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2015 is estimated to be $8.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. All outstanding stock options are vested and there are no unrecognized cost related to our stock options as of September 30, 2015. No phantom stock was outstanding as of September 30, 2015.
During May 2015, we issued 598,860 restricted stock units to our outside directors under the Key Energy Services, Inc. 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan that was approved by our stockholders on May 15, 2014. These restricted stock units vested immediately and we recognized $1.6 million of expense related to these awards. Additionally, during May 2014, we recognized $1.6 million of expense related to similar awards.
In the first quarter of 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted both the 2014 Performance Award Agreement (“2014 PU Award Agreement”) under the Key Energy Services, Inc. 2014 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the 2015 Performance Unit Plan (the “2015 PU Plan”). We believe that the 2015 PU Plan and 2014 PU Award Agreement will enable us to obtain and retain employees who will contribute to our long term success by aligning the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders by providing compensation that is linked directly to increases in share value.
In January 2015, we issued 2.1 million performance units to our executive officers under the 2014 Plan with such material terms as set forth in the 2014 PU Award Agreement. In February 2015, we issued 0.4 million performance units to certain other employees under the 2015 PU Plan. The performance units are measured based on one three-year performance period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. The number of performance units that may be earned by a participant is determined at the end of the performance period based on the relative placement of Key’s total stockholder return for that period within the peer group, as follows:
Company Placement for the Performance Period
 
Performance Units Earned as

If any performance units vest for a given performance period, the award holder will be paid a cash amount equal to the vested percentage of the performance units multiplied by the closing stock price of our common stock on the last trading day of the performance period. We account for the performance units as a liability-type award as they are settled in cash. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of outstanding performance units was $0.8 million, and is being accreted to compensation

18


expense over the vesting terms of the awards. As of September 30, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to our unvested performance units is estimated to be $0.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
NOTE 14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Board of Director Relationships
A member of our board of directors is the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”), which is one of our customers. Sales to Anadarko were approximately $2.3 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $10.1 million and $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Receivables outstanding from Anadarko were approximately $0.9 million and $2.9 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Transactions with Anadarko for our services are made on terms consistent with other customers.

Credit Facility Revolving Loans. In connection with entering into the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility, we terminated our 2011 Credit Facility on June 1, 2015.
NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We revised our reportable business segments as of the fourth quarter of 2014. The revised reportable segments are U.S. Rig Services, Fluid Management Services, Coiled Tubing Services, Fishing and Rental Services and International. We also have a “Functional Support” segment associated with overhead and other costs in support of our reportable segments. Segment disclosures as of and for the the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 have been revised to reflect the change in reportable segments. We revised our segments to reflect changes in management’s resource allocation and performance assessment in making decisions regarding our business. Our U.S. Rig Services, Fluid Management Services, Coiled Tubing Services, Fishing and Rental Services operate geographically within the United States. The International reportable segment includes our operations in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Russia, Bahrain and Oman. Our Canadian subsidiary is also reflected in our International reportable segment. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross margin measures. All inter-segment sales pricing is based on current market conditions.

19


U.S. Rig Services
Our U.S. Rig Services include the completion of newly drilled wells, workover and recompletion of existing oil and natural gas wells, well maintenance, and the plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful lives. We also provide specialty drilling services to oil and natural gas producers with certain of our larger rigs that are capable of providing conventional and horizontal drilling services. Our rigs encompass various sizes and capabilities, allowing us to service all types of wells with depths up to 20,000 feet. Many of our rigs are outfitted with our proprietary KeyView® technology, which captures and reports well site operating data and provides safety control systems. We believe that this technology allows our customers and our crews to better monitor well site operations, improves efficiency and safety, and adds value to the services that we offer.
The completion and recompletion services provided by our rigs prepare wells for production, whether newly drilled, or recently extended through a workover operation. The completion process may involve selectively perforating the well casing to access production zones, stimulating and testing these zones, and installing tubular and downhole equipment. We typically provide a well service rig and may also provide other equipment to assist in the completion process. Completion services vary by well and our work may take a few days to several weeks to perform, depending on the nature of the completion.
The workover services that we provide are designed to enhance the production of existing wells and generally are more complex and time consuming than normal maintenance services. Workover services can include deepening or extending wellbores into new formations by drilling horizontal or lateral wellbores, sealing off depleted production zones and accessing previously bypassed production zones, converting former production wells into injection wells for enhanced recovery operations and conducting major subsurface repairs due to equipment failures. Workover services may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the workover.
Maintenance services provided with our rig fleet are generally required throughout the life cycle of an oil or natural gas well. Examples of these maintenance services include routine mechanical repairs to the pumps, tubing and other equipment, removing debris and formation material from wellbores, and pulling rods and other downhole equipment from wellbores to identify and resolve production problems. Maintenance services are generally less complicated than completion and workover related services and require less time to perform.
Our rig fleet is also used in the process of permanently shutting-in oil or natural gas wells that are at the end of their productive lives. These plugging and abandonment services generally require auxiliary equipment in addition to a well servicing rig. The demand for plugging and abandonment services is not significantly impacted by the demand for oil and natural gas because well operators are required by state regulations to plug wells that are no longer productive.
Fluid Management Services
We provide transportation and well-site storage services for various fluids utilized in connection with drilling, completions, workover and maintenance activities. We also provide disposal services for fluids produced subsequent to well completion.  These fluids are removed from the well site and transported for disposal in saltwater disposal wells owned by us or a third party. In addition, we operate a fleet of hot oilers capable of pumping heated fluids used to clear soluble restrictions in a wellbore. Demand and pricing for these services generally correspond to demand for our well service rigs.
Coiled Tubing Services
Coiled Tubing Services involve the use of a continuous metal pipe spooled onto a large reel which is then deployed into oil and natural gas wells to perform various applications, such as wellbore clean-outs, nitrogen jet lifts, through-tubing fishing, and formation stimulations utilizing acid and chemical treatments. Coiled tubing is also used for a number of horizontal well applications such as milling temporary isolation plugs that separate frac zones, and various other pre- and post-hydraulic fracturing well preparation services.
Fishing and Rental Services
We offer a full line of fishing services and rental equipment designed for use in providing both onshore and offshore drilling and workover services. Fishing services involve recovering lost or stuck equipment in the wellbore utilizing a broad array of “fishing tools.” Our rental tool inventory consists of drill pipe, tubulars, handling tools (including our patented Hydra-Walk® pipe-handling units and services), pressure-control equipment, pumps, power swivels, reversing units, foam air units, frac stack equipment used to support hydraulic fracturing operations and the associated flowback of frac fluids, proppants, oil and natural gas. We also provide well testing services.
Demand for our fishing and rental services is closely related to capital spending by oil and natural gas producers, which is generally a function of oil and natural gas prices.

20


International
Our International segment includes operations in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, the Middle East and Russia. We provide rig-based services such as the maintenance, workover, recompletion of existing oil wells, completion of newly-drilled wells and plugging and abandonment of wells at the end of their useful lives in each of our international markets. In addition, we have a technology development and control systems business based in Canada.
In addition, in Mexico we provide drilling, coiled tubing, wireline and project management and consulting services. Our work in Mexico also requires us to provide third-party services, which vary in scope by project.
Our technology development and control systems business based in Canada is focused on the development of hardware and software related to oilfield service equipment controls, data acquisition and digital information flow.
In April 2015, we announced our decision to exit markets in which we participate outside of North America. Our strategy is to sell or relocate the assets of the businesses operating in these markets. We are in negotiations to sell our subsidiary in Bahrain and certain assets in Oman. We expect these sales to occur before the end of 2015. In the third quarter, we transferred four rigs from Ecuador to the U.S. and sold the remaining operating assets of our Ecuadorian business unit at auction. Additionally, in Colombia, we relocated one rig to the U.S. in the third quarter and plan to sell or relocate thirteen rigs to the U.S. in the fourth quarter. We plan to sell the remaining property and equipment, net, and inventories of our Colombian business unit in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Functional Support
Our Functional Support segment includes unallocated overhead costs associated with administrative support for our U.S. and International reporting segments.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW    
Key Energy Services, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Key,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “its,” and “our”) provide a full range of well services to major oil companies, foreign national oil companies and independent oil and natural gas production companies. Our services include rig-based and coiled tubing-based well maintenance and workover services, well completion and recompletion services, fluid management services, fishing and rental services, and other ancillary oilfield services. Additionally, certain rigs are capable of specialty drilling applications. We operate in most major oil and natural gas producing regions of the continental United States and have operations in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, the Middle East and Russia. In addition, we have a technology development and control systems business based in Canada.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, included elsewhere herein, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
We operate in five business segments; U.S. Rig Services, Fluid Management Services, Coiled Tubing Services, Fishing and Rental Services and International. We also have a “Functional Support” segment associated with managing our U.S. and International business segments. See “Note 16. Segment Information” in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of Part I of this report for a summary of our business segments.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Baker Hughes U.S. rig count data, which is publicly available on a weekly basis, is often used as an indicator of overall Exploration and Production (“E&P”) company spending and broader oilfield activity. In assessing overall activity in the U.S. onshore oilfield service industry in which we operate, we believe that the Baker Hughes U.S. land drilling rig count is the best available barometer of E&P companies’ capital spending and resulting activity levels. Historically, our activity levels have been highly correlated to U.S. onshore capital spending by our E&P company customers as a group.

Internally, we measure activity levels for our well servicing operations primarily through our rig and trucking hours. Generally, as capital spending by E&P companies increases, demand for our services also rises, resulting in increased rig and trucking services and more hours worked. Conversely, when activity levels decline due to lower spending by E&P companies, we generally provide fewer rig and trucking services, which results in lower hours worked.

29


In the U.S., our rig activity occurs primarily on weekdays during daylight hours. Accordingly, we track U.S. rig activity on a “per U.S. working day” basis. Key's U.S. working days per quarter, which exclude national holidays, are indicated in the table below. Our international rig activity and domestic trucking activity tend to occur on a 24/7 basis. Accordingly, we track our international rig activity and our domestic trucking activity on a “per calendar day” basis. The following table presents our quarterly rig and trucking hours from 2014 through the third quarter of 2015:

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Market Conditions — Quarter Ended September 30, 2015
Our core businesses depend on our customers’ willingness to make expenditures to produce, develop and explore for oil and natural gas. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors, such as the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, domestic and worldwide economic conditions, and political instability in oil producing countries.
The third quarter continued to witness deterioration in the oil and gas industry as persistently low commodity prices caused oilfield service activity to continue to decline. The drilling rig count dropped to a level not seen in nearly two decades. As energy and production companies continued to operate with caution, spending on most oilfield services continued to slip due to a lack of confidence in future commodity prices and a desire to avoid uneconomic projects. We continued to face activity and pricing declines in each of our business lines, though our core production services business continues to perform somewhat better than broader market indicators.
Outside of the U.S., we moved closer to exiting the markets in which we participate outside of North America. In Oman, we have ceased operations and have neared finalization of the sale of assets in this country. In Bahrain, we also are finalizing the sale of our business. In Colombia and Ecuador, operations have ceased and we have begun the process of bringing back rigs to the U.S.; to date we have returned ten rigs to the U.S. and are evaluating the sale or relocation of the remaining nine rigs in Colombia. In Russia, we are engaged in discussion with several interested parties about a sale of the business. We are seeking to have this effort substantially completed by the end of 2015, though a sale of our business in Russia could slip into the first quarter of 2016.
Market Outlook    
The domestic oil and gas complex is now facing the challenge of how to achieve return-accretive cash flow in the face of low commodity prices. We believe that due to deferred maintenance by energy producers, a backlog of well maintenance is building, though we cannot predict what factors will drive our customers to resume normal production maintenance activity levels. However, we do know that our customers must work on these wells to maintain the production base, and the economics associated with this work make sense at a much lower oil price than drilling and completion. As such, we believe that Key’s commitment to production enhancement activities will eventually provide a meaningful opportunity for us.
As we look into the fourth quarter, the outlook for the U.S. oilfield services landscape remains challenged. We expect that there will be a greater seasonal downturn than in prior years, as our customers exhaust their budgets and take longer work vacations around the holidays. We expect this exaggerated downturn to impact activity levels at a level approximately double the downturn typically seen in the fourth quarter. In light of the current challenging environment, we intend to continue to

30


identify ways to streamline our cost structure and to explore ways to enhance the liquidity position of the company both internally and externally.

Consolidated Results of Operations — Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Revenues
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $188.9 million, or 51.7%, to $176.9 million from $365.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services. Internationally, we had lower revenue as a result of reduced customer activity in Colombia and the exit of operations in the Middle East and South America. See “Segment Operating Results — Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 below for a more detailed discussion of the change in our revenues.
Direct Operating Expenses
Our direct operating expenses decreased $97.6 million, to $174.5 million (98.7% of revenues), for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $272.1 million (74.4% of revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in employee compensation costs, fuel expense and repair and maintenance expense as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.7 million, or 11.1%, to $45.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $50.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to the impairment of certain fixed assets and decreases in capital expenditures and lower amortization expense due to the impairment of certain intangible assets.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $19.9 million, to $45.3 million (25.6% of revenues), for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $65.2 million (17.8% of revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to FCPA investigations and lower employee compensation costs as a result of reduced staffing levels.

31


Impairment Expense
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a $561.0 million impairment of goodwill, a $45.0 million impairment of fixed assets, a $4.9 million impairment of other intangible assets that are no longer being used, and a $42.4 million impairment of fixed assets to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to fair market value. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a $60.8 million impairment of goodwill and fixed assets at our Fishing and Rental Services segment.
Interest Expense, Net of Amounts Capitalized
Interest expense increased $8.3 million, or 61.8%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is primarily related to increased borrowings and interest rate under the new Term Loan Facility for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 and the write-off of the remaining $0.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the 2011 Credit Facility in the second quarter of 2015.
Other Loss, Net
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we recognized other loss, net, of $5.9 million, compared to other loss, net, of $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recorded an allowance for the collectibility of our notes receivable related to the sale of our operations in Argentina. An additional $3.8 million reserve was recorded in the third quarter of 2015. Our foreign exchange loss relates to U.S. dollar-denominated transactions in our foreign businesses and fluctuations in exchange rates between local currencies and the U.S. dollar.

Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of $125.6 million on a pre-tax loss of $765.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to an income tax benefit of $34.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $97.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate was 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 35.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment expense and valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the third quarter, our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 31.7%. Our effective tax rates for such periods differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to a number of factors, including the mix of profit and loss between domestic and international taxing jurisdictions and the impact of permanent items, including goodwill impairment expense and expenses subject to statutorily imposed limitations such as meals and entertainment expenses, that affect book income but do not affect taxable income and discrete tax adjustments, such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax expense or benefit recognized for uncertain tax positions.

U.S. Rig Services
Revenues for our U.S. Rig Services segment decreased $93.0 million, or 52.2%, to $85.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $178.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our U.S. Rig Services segment were $390.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $240.5 million, or 160.2%, compared to $150.1 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs and equipment expense as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
Fluid Management Services
Revenues for our Fluid Management Services segment decreased $28.3 million, or 44.3%, to $35.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $63.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Fluid Management Services segment were $63.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, which represented a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.2%, compared to $64.0 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment expense and employee compensation costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels. This decrease was partially offset by impairment expense recorded in 2015.
Coiled Tubing Services
Revenues for our Coiled Tubing Services segment decreased $21.5 million, or 50.8%, to $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $42.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Coiled Tubing Services segment were $137.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $95.1 million, or 224.9%, compared to $42.3 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs, repair and maintenance expense and fuel costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.

33


Fishing and Rental Services
Revenues for our Fishing and Rental Services segment decreased $27.9 million, or 50.2%, to $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $55.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Fishing and Rental Services segment were $213.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $102.8 million, or 92.7%, compared to $110.9 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs, repair and maintenance expense and fuel costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
International
Revenues for our International segment decreased $18.3 million, or 70.4%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower customer activity in Colombia and the exit of operations in the Middle East and South America.
Operating expenses for our International segment increased $44.7 million, or 126.8%, to $79.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $35.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs and equipment expense, primarily due to lower activity.
Functional Support
Operating expenses for Functional Support, which represent expenses associated with managing our U.S. and International reporting segments, decreased $16.9 million, or 36.3%, to $29.7 million (16.8% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $46.6 million (12.7% of consolidated revenues) for the same period in 2014. These expenses decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in expenses related to FCPA investigations and lower employee compensation costs as a result of reduced staffing levels.
Consolidated Results of Operations — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Revenues
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased $430.4 million, or 40.1%, to $642.2 million from $1,072.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services. Internationally, we had lower revenue as a result of reduced customer activity in Russia and Colombia and the exit of operations in the Middle East and South America. See “Segment Operating Results — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 below for a more detailed discussion of the change in our revenues.
Direct Operating Expenses
Our direct operating expenses decreased $255.4 million, to $537.9 million (83.8% of revenues), for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $793.3 million (74.0% of revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in employee compensation costs, fuel expense and repair and maintenance expense as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $15.8 million, or 10.3%, to $138.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $154.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to the impairment of certain fixed assets and decreases in capital expenditures and lower amortization expense due to the impairment of certain intangible assets.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $12.3 million, to $163.7 million (25.5% of revenues), for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $176.0 million (16.4% of revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee compensation costs due to reduced staffing levels and reduction in wages partially offset by higher expenses related to FCPA investigations.

34


Impairment Expense
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a $582.7 million impairment of goodwill, a $45.0 million impairment of fixed assets, a $4.9 million impairment of other intangible assets that are no longer being used, and a $63.8 million impairment of fixed assets to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to fair market value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a $28.7 million impairment of goodwill and tradenames in our Russian business unit which is included in our International reporting segment and a $60.8 million impairment of goodwill and fixed assets at our Fishing and Rental Services segment.
Interest Expense, Net of Amounts Capitalized
Interest expense increased $11.7 million, or 29.0%, to $52.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $40.4 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is primarily related to increased borrowings and interest rate under the new Term Loan Facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 and the write-off of the remaining $0.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the 2011 Credit Facility in the second quarter of 2015.
Other (Income) Loss, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized other loss, net, of $10.1 million, compared to other income, net, of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A $4.0 million allowance for the collectibility of our notes receivable related to the sale of our operations in Argentina was recorded in the first quarter of 2015. An additional $3.8 million reserve was recorded in the third quarter of 2015. Our foreign exchange (gain) loss relates to U.S. dollar-denominated transactions in our foreign locations and fluctuations in exchange rates between local currencies and the U.S. dollar.

Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of $187.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $953.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to an income tax benefit of $52.0 million on a pre-tax loss of $178.4 million for the same period in 2014. Our effective tax rate was 19.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 29.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment expense and valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the third quarter, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 32.1%. Our effective tax rates for such periods differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to a number of factors, including the mix of profit and loss between domestic and international taxing jurisdictions and the impact of permanent items, including goodwill impairment expense and expenses subject to statutorily imposed limitations such as meals and entertainment expenses, that affect book income but do not affect taxable income and discrete tax adjustments, such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and tax expense or benefit recognized for uncertain tax positions.

U.S. Rig Services
Revenues for our U.S. Rig Services segment decreased $213.7 million, or 41.7%, to $299.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $513.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our U.S. Rig Services segment were $600.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $163.2 million, or 37.3%, compared to $437.5 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs and equipment expense as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
Fluid Management Services
Revenues for our Fluid Management Services segment decreased $62.0 million, or 33.1%, to $125.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $187.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Fluid Management Services segment were $152.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which represented a decrease of $32.0 million, or 17.3%, compared to $184.3 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment expense and employee compensation costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels. This decrease was partially offset by an impairment expense recorded in 2015.
Coiled Tubing Services
Revenues for our Coiled Tubing Services segment decreased $56.5 million, or 43.5%, to $73.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $129.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Coiled Tubing Services segment were $217.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $93.6 million, or 75.3%, compared to $124.3 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs, repair and maintenance expense and fuel costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
Fishing and Rental Services
Revenues for our Fishing and Rental Services segment decreased $59.6 million, or 37.7%, to $98.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $158.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease for this segment is primarily due to lower spending from our customers as a result of lower oil prices. These market conditions resulted in reduced customer activity and a reduction in the price received for our services.
Operating expenses for our Fishing and Rental Services segment were $291.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which represented an increase of $81.3 million, or 38.8%, compared to $209.8 million for the same period in 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs, repair and maintenance expense and fuel costs as we sought to reduce our cost structure and as a result of lower activity levels.
International
Revenues for our International segment decreased $38.6 million, or 45.9%, to $45.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $84.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower customer activity in Russia and Colombia and the exit of operations in the Middle East and South America.

36


Operating expenses for our International segment increased $15.4 million, or 11.0%, to $156.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $140.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. These expenses increased primarily as a result of impairment expense in 2015, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation costs and equipment expense, primarily due to lower activity.
Functional Support
Operating expenses for Functional Support, which represent expenses associated with managing our U.S. and International reporting segments, decreased $1.7 million, or 1.4%, to $114.5 million (17.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $116.2 million (10.8% of consolidated revenues) for the same period in 2014. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee compensation costs due to reduced staffing levels partially offset by increased legal expense related to the FCPA investigations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Current Financial Condition and Liquidity
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $199.1 million. Our working capital was $302.4 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $191.9 million as of December 31, 2014. Our working capital increased from the prior year end primarily as a result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents related to proceeds of long-term debt. Our total outstanding debt was $964.7 million, and we have no significant debt maturities until 2020. As of September 30, 2015, we have no borrowings outstanding and $48.2 million in committed letters of credit outstanding with borrowing capacity of $30.5 million available subject to covenant constraints under our ABL Facility (defined below).

Cash used in operating activities was $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $126.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Cash used in investing activities was $26.8 million and $91.8 million for nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Investing cash outflows during these periods consisted primarily of capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures through September 30, 2015 primarily relate to replacement assets for our existing fleet and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities was $220.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to cash used in financing activities of $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Overall financing cash inflows for 2015 primarily relate to proceeds from long-term debt partially offset by net payments on the revolving credit facility and repayments of long-term debt. Overall financing cash outflows for 2014 primarily relate to net payments on the revolving credit facility.
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity include our current cash and cash equivalents, availability under our ABL Facility, and internally generated cash flows from operations.

37


Debt Service
We have no significant maturities of debt until 2020. Interest on our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility is due each quarter. There are no interest payments for the remainder of 2015 related to our 2021 Notes. Principal to be paid for the remainder of 2015 is approximately $0.8 million related to our Term Loan Facility. We expect to fund these payments from cash on hand or generated by operations. At September 30, 2015, our annual debt maturities for our 2021 Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:

At September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the 2021 Notes.
6.75% Senior Notes due 2021
We have outstanding $675.0 million of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2021 Notes are or will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on March 1, 2021.
On or after March 1, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

2018
101.125

2019 and thereafter

%
At any time and from time to time prior to March 1, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium with respect to the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The premium is the excess of (i) the present value of the redemption price of 103.375 of the principal amount, plus all remaining scheduled interest payments due through March 1, 2016 discounted at the treasury rate plus 0.50% over (ii) the principal amount of the note. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we must give holders of the 2021 Notes the opportunity to sell to us their 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred equity interests;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests;
make loans and investments;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
sell, transfer or otherwise convey assets;
create liens;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
designate future subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the applicable entities’ assets.

38


These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions relating to the covenants of our Facilities discussed below. Substantially all of the covenants will terminate before the 2021 Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the 2021 Notes an investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of September 30, 2015, the 2021 Notes were rated below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the investment rating assigned to the 2021 Notes later falls below investment grade. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2015.
Credit Facilities due 2020
On June 1, 2015, we entered into a $100.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) due February 28, 2020 and a $315.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”) due June 1, 2020 (together, the “Facilities”). The Facilities replaced our $400 million 2011 Credit Facility (defined below).
The ABL Facility bears interest at an annual rate on outstanding borrowings of LIBOR plus 4.5%, with a fee on unused commitments ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% based on utilization. The Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount of 3.0% with an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.25% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor and a quarterly principal payment of $787,500 that will begin in the third quarter of 2015. The original issue discount of $9.4 million and $11.1 million of deferred financing costs will be amortized over the term of the Facilities.
The Facilities contain customary representations and warranties and certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions without the permission of the Facilities lenders or as permitted under the Facilities including the incurrence of debt, the granting of liens, the making of investments, the payment of dividends and the sale of assets. The Facilities also contain financial covenants requiring that we maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0 and that liquidity, as defined in the Facilities agreements, must not be less than $100.0 million. The ABL also includes a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, which is tested only if excess availability under the ABL falls below a specified threshold or upon the occurrence of certain other events. Additionally, in certain situations, we may be required to offer to prepay some principal amounts under the Term Loan Facility including 50% of our fiscal excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan Facility agreement. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the Term Loan Facility agreement, the Company must offer to prepay all term loans (i) at a price of 101% of the amount outstanding if, after giving effect to such change of control, the asset coverage ratio is at least 1.5 to 1.0 or (ii) at a price equal to the greater of 101% of the amount outstanding and the applicable prepayment premium provided for in the Term Loan Facility if, after giving effect to such change of control, the asset coverage ratio is less than 1.5 to 1.0.
We were in compliance with covenants of the Facilities as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we have no borrowings outstanding and $48.2 million of letters of credit outstanding with borrowing capacity of $30.5 million available subject to covenant constraints under our ABL Facility.
The weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility
On June 1, 2015, in connection with entering into the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility, we terminated our senior secured revolving bank credit facility, dated as of March 31, 2011, as amended through December 5, 2014 (the “2011 Credit Facility”), which was scheduled to mature no later than March 31, 2016. The 2011 Credit Facility provided for a senior secured credit facility consisting of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing line facility of up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million. The 2011 Credit Facility was terminated without any prepayment penalties. The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.8 million were written off at the time of the termination.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the 2011 Credit Facility was, at our option, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (x) JPMorgan’s prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus in each case the applicable margin for all other loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans had ranged from 225 to 300 basis points, and the applicable margin for all other loans had ranged from 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility. Unused commitment fees on the facility was equal to 0.5%. The weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility

39


were zero and 3.01% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility were 3.14% and 2.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
Letter of Credit Facility
On November 7, 2013, we entered into an uncommitted, unsecured $15.0 million letter of credit facility to be used solely for the issuances of performance letters of credit. As of September 30, 2015, $2.0 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2015 we did not, and we currently do not, have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Liquidity Outlook and Future Capital Requirements
As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $199.1 million, borrowing capacity of $30.5 million, subject to covenant constraints under the ABL Facility, and no significant debt maturities until 2020. During the third quarter, we utilized existing cash balances to fund the Company’s operations as our cash flow from operations was negative. We believe that current sources of liquidity, including cash on hand and current availability under the ABL Facility, will be sufficient to finance the majority of our cash requirements for operations, budgeted capital expenditures, and debt service for the next twelve months, however, given worsening conditions in the markets we participate in, the company may need to take other actions to address its liquidity. It should be noted that liquidity, as defined under our Facilities Agreements, must not be less than $100.0 million at any given time. Also, as we have historically done, we may, from time to time, access available funds under our ABL Facility to supplement our liquidity to meet cash requirements for day-to-day operations and times of peak needs throughout the year. Our planned capital expenditures, as well as any acquisitions we choose to pursue, could be financed through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility and, in the case of acquisitions, equity.
Capital Expenditures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our capital expenditures totaled $38.9 million, primarily related to the ongoing replacement to our rig service fleet, coiled tubing units, fluid transportation equipment and rental equipment. Our capital expenditure plan for 2015 contemplates spending approximately $45.0 million, subject to market conditions. This is primarily related to equipment replacement needs, including ongoing replacement to our rig services fleet. Our capital expenditure program for 2015 is subject to market conditions, including activity levels, commodity prices, industry capacity and specific customer needs. Our focus for 2015 has been and continues to be the maximization of our current equipment fleet, but we may choose to increase our capital expenditures in 2015 to increase market share or expand our presence into a new market. We may also incur capital expenditures for strategic investments and acquisitions. We currently anticipate funding our 2015 capital expenditures through a combination of cash on hand, operating cash flow, and borrowings under our ABL Facility. Should our operating cash flows or activity levels prove to be insufficient to fund our currently planned capital spending levels, management expects it will adjust our capital spending plans accordingly. We may also incur capital expenditures for strategic investments and acquisitions.
ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K. More detailed information concerning market risk can be found in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2014 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2015 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various suits and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the disposition of any of our ordinary course litigation will result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For additional information on legal proceedings, see “Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies” in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Between May of 2013 and June of 2014, five lawsuits (four class actions and one enforcement action) were filed in California involving alleged violations of California's wage and hour laws. In general, the lawsuits allege failure to pay wages, including overtime and minimum wages, failure to pay final wages upon employment terminations in a timely manner, failure to reimburse reasonable and necessary business expenses, failure to provide wage statements consistent with California law, and violations of the California meal and break period laws, among other claims. Two of the five cases have been consolidated in United States District Court for the Central District of California. A hearing on the class certification motion was held August 10, 2015. As of October 30, 2015, no decision has been made by the court. One of the remaining cases has been stayed pending outcome of the class certification motion. The fourth case is waiting for a decision regarding whether it will move forward in California state court or in federal court. The fifth case is an enforcement action for civil penalties based on California’s Private Attorneys General Act, which is pending in California state court. We have investigated the claims in all five lawsuits, and intend to vigorously defend them. At this time, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In January 2014, the SEC advised Key that it is investigating possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) involving business activities of Key’s operations in Russia. In April 2014, we became aware of an allegation involving our Mexico operations that, if true, could potentially constitute a violation of certain of our policies, including our Code of Business Conduct, the FCPA and other applicable laws. On May 30, 2014, Key voluntarily disclosed the allegation involving our Mexico operations and certain information from the Company’s initial investigation to both the SEC and Department of Justice (“DOJ”). A Special Committee of our Board of Directors conducted an investigation regarding this allegation as well as possible violations of the FCPA involving business activities of our operations in Russia. The Special Committee’s independent review, which also included a review of certain aspects of the Company’s operations in Colombia, as well as a risk assessment with regard to our other international locations, has been completed. We are continuing to cooperate with the SEC and DOJ. At this time we are unable to predict the ultimate resolution of these matters with these agencies and, accordingly, cannot reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In August 2014, two class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated against the Company and certain officers of the Company, alleging violations of federal securities laws, specifically, violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10(b)-5, Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Those lawsuits were styled as follows: Sean Cady, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, and J. Marshall Dodson, No. 4:14-cv-2368, filed on August 15, 2014; and Ian W. Davidson, Individually and on Behalf of All Other Persons Similarly Situated v. Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, and J. Marshall Dodson, No. 4.14-cv-2403, filed on August 21, 2014. On December 11, 2014, the Court entered an order that consolidated the two lawsuits into one action, along with any future filed tag-along actions brought on behalf of purchasers of Key Energy Services, Inc. common stock. The order also appointed Inter-Local Pension Fund as the lead plaintiff in the class action and approved the law firm of Spector Roseman Kodroff & Willis, P.C. as lead counsel for the consolidated class and Kendall Law Group, LLP, as local counsel for the consolidated class. The lead plaintiff filed the consolidated amended complaint on February 13, 2015. Among other changes, the consolidated amended complaint adds Taylor M. Whichard III and Newton W. Wilson III as defendants, and seeks to represent a class of purchasers of the Company's stock between September 4, 2012 and July 17, 2014. Defendants Key Energy Services, Inc., Richard J. Alario, J. Marshall Dodson and Newton W. Wilson III filed a Motion to Dismiss on April 14, 2015. Defendant Taylor M. Whichard III filed a Joinder in Motion and Motion to Dismiss on the same date. Lead plaintiff filed an opposition to that motion, and all defendants filed reply briefs in support of the motion. The court has not ruled upon it. Because this case is in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcome at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss.
In addition, in a letter dated September 4, 2014, a purported shareholder of the Company demanded that the Board commence an independent internal investigation into and legal proceedings against each member of the Board, a former member of the Board and certain officers of the Company for alleged violations of Maryland and/or federal law. The letter alleges that the Board and senior officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, including the duty of loyalty and due care, by (i) improperly accounting for goodwill, (ii) causing the Company to potentially violate the FCPA, resulting in an investigation by the SEC, (iii) causing the Company to engage in improper conduct related to the Company’s Russia operations; and (iv) making false statements regarding, and failing to properly account for, certain contracts with Pemex. As described in the letter, the purported shareholder believes that the legal proceedings should seek recovery of damages in an

42


unspecified amount allegedly sustained by the Company. The Board of Directors referred the demand letter to the Special Committee. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
In March 2015, two collective action lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (“FLSA”). We have answered the lawsuits and asserted affirmative defenses. Because the cases are in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcomes at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss for either case.
            In May 2015, a class and collective action lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, alleging violations of the FLSA and the New Mexico Minimum Wage Act. We have answered the lawsuit and asserted affirmative defenses. Because the case is in the early stages, we cannot predict the outcome at this time. Accordingly, we cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss of this case.
