Impact of COVID-19 and Recent Collapse in Commodity Prices

Oil prices, which dropped sharply in early March 2020 and then continued to decline reaching levels below zero dollars per barrel, are expected to remain volatile as a result of the sharp decline in demand due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, oversupply of crude oil and limited pipeline and storage capacity, among other factors. As a result, demand for the Company's oilfield services, which was already under considerable pressure from reductions in its customers' capital expenditure budgets in 2019, declined further at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Depressed levels of oilfield service activity are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This has had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company cannot predict if, or when, commodity prices will improve and stabilize. The COVID-19 pandemic, the broad reduction in economic activity, the current conditions in the energy industry and the adverse macroeconomic conditions have also had an adverse effect on pricing for the Company's oilfield services.
