CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “may,” “intend,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “estimate,” “potential,” “outlook,” “plan,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.

All of our forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to materially differ from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements are those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including the following:

•Demand for, and profitability of our products and services, is affected by changes in the price of, and demand for, crude oil and natural gas in domestic and international markets;

•Cost inflation and availability of raw materials;

•The impact of inflation on wholesale product costs, labor rates, transportation costs, and on our customers’ financial position and ability to purchase our products;

•Global economic conditions, inflation, geopolitical issues, supply chain disruptions, and availability and cost of credit, and its impact on our operations and those of our customers and suppliers;

•Our ability to successfully compete with other companies in our industry;

•Our ability to develop and implement or introduce new technologies, products, and services, as well as our ability to protect and maintain intellectual property assets;

•Our ability to successfully execute potential acquisitions and integrate acquired businesses;

•Potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our products or from a chemical spill or release;

•Continuing consolidation within our customers’ industry;

•Credit risks related to our customer base or the loss of significant customers;

•A failure of our information technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security;

•Risks relating to our existing international operations and expansion into new geographical markets;

•Risks relating to improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners;

•Failure to attract, retain and develop personnel;

•The impact of natural disasters and other unusual weather conditions on our business;

•Investor sentiment towards companies in the oil and gas industry due to climate change, fossil fuels and other environmental, social and governance matters;

•Changes in domestic and foreign governmental public policies and actions of governments that impact oil and gas operations or favor renewable energy projects, risks associated with entry into emerging markets, changes in statutory tax rates and unanticipated outcomes with respect to tax audits;

•Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business;

•Fluctuations in currency markets worldwide and disruptions in capital and credit markets;

•The impact of our indebtedness on our financial position and operating flexibility;

•Disruptions in the capital and credit markets;

•The impact of war, terrorism and civil unrest;

•Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulations relating to oil and gas development and the potential for related litigation or restrictions on our customers;

•Changes in environmental and health and safety laws and regulations which may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations; and

•The impact of tariffs and other trade measures on our business.

We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update, revise or correct any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required under the federal securities laws.
