Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

We are a geographically diversified oil and gas services company, focused on completion fluids and associated products and services, water management, frac flowback, production well testing and offshore rig cooling services, and compression services and equipment. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981. We are composed of three divisions – Completion Fluids & Products, Water & Flowback Services, and Compression . Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 .

We consolidate the financial statements of CSI Compressco LP and its subsidiaries ("CCLP") as part of our Compression Division, as we determined that CCLP is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. We control the financial interests of CCLP and have the ability to direct the activities of CCLP that most significantly impact its economic performance through our ownership of its general partner. The share of CCLP net assets and earnings that is not owned by us is presented as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. Our cash flows from our investment in CCLP are limited to the quarterly distributions we receive on our CCLP common units and general partner interest (including incentive distribution rights) and the amounts collected for services we perform on behalf of CCLP, as TETRA's capital structure and CCLP's capital structure are separate, and do not include cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K , which we filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019.

Significant Accounting Policies

We have added policies for the recording of leases in conjunction with the adoption of the new lease standard discussed in our "Leases" and "New Accounting Pronouncements" sections below. Other than the additional lease policies described herein, there have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application of these policies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and impairments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.

Table of Contents

Impairments and Other Charges

During the three month period ending June 30, 2019, our Compression Division recorded impairments of $2.3 million on certain units of its low-horsepower compression fleet, reflecting the decision to dispose of these units upon management's determination that refurbishing this equipment was not economic given limited current and forecasted demand for such equipment. A recoverability analysis was performed on the remaining low-horsepower fleet and it was concluded that the remaining fleet was recoverable from estimated future cash flows.

Leases

As a lessee, unless the lease meets the criteria of short-term and is excluded per our policy election described below, we initially recognize a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the commencement date. The right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset and the lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments to the lessor over the lease term.

Long-term operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued liabilities and other, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 . Long-term finance leases are not material. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Where we are a lessee in a contract that includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, we include the extension period or exclude the period covered by the termination option in our lease term, if it is reasonably certain that we would exercise the option.

As an accounting policy election, we do not include short-term leases on our balance sheet. Short-term leases include leases with a term of 12 months or less, inclusive of renewal options we are reasonably certain to exercise. The lease payments for short-term leases are included as operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of revenues or general and administrative expense based on the use of the underlying asset. We recognize lease costs for variable lease payments not included in the determination of a lease liability in the period in which an obligation is incurred.

As allowed by U.S. GAAP, we do not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component for our compression services contracts and instead account for those components as a single component based on the accounting treatment of the predominant component. In our evaluation of whether Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 "Leases" or ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" is applicable to the combined component based on the predominant component, we determined the services nonlease component is predominant, resulting in the ongoing recognition of our compression services contracts following ASC 606.

Our operating and finance leases are recognized at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the implicit discount rate is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments. Consistent with other long-lived assets or asset groups that are held and used, we test for impairment of our right-of-use assets when impairment indicators are present.

Foreign Currency Translation

The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component of equity. Foreign currency exchange (gains) and losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $(0.8) million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $(0.6) million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" to increase comparability and transparency among different organizations. Organizations are required to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet related to the right to use the underlying asset for

the lease term. In addition, through improved disclosure requirements, ASC 842 will enable users of financial statements to further understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, specifically, the reporting of our operating leases. The impact in the reporting of our finance leases was insignificant.

We chose to transition using a modified retrospective approach which allows for the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented. Comparative information is reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. In addition, upon transition, we elected the package of practical expedients, which allows us to continue to apply historical lease classifications to existing contracts. Upon adoption, we recognized $60.6 million in operating right-of-use assets, $12.0 million in accrued liabilities and other, and $50.7 million in operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we also recognized a $2.8 million cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings, primarily as a result of a deferred gain from a previous sale and leaseback transaction on our corporate headquarters facility that was accounted for as an operating lease. Refer to Note K - “Leases” for further information on our leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)" that gives entities the option to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. This was effective for us on January 1, 2019, however, as we do not have associated tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income, there was no impact.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” to align the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance currently applied to employees, with certain exceptions. We adopted this ASU during the three months ended March 31, 2019, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 has an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, under a prospective adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B – INVENTORIES

Components of inventories as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

	June 30, 2019	December 31, 2018
	(In Thousands)
Finished goods	$ 63,579	$ 69,762

Work in progress	27,297	22,920
Total inventories	$ 138,424	$ 143,571

Finished goods inventories include newly manufactured clear brine fluids as well as used brines that are repurchased from certain customers for recycling. Work in progress inventory consists primarily of new compressor packages located in the CCLP fabrication facility in Midland, Texas.

NOTE C – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share:

	Three Months Ended June 30, — 2019	2018	Six Months Ended June 30, — 2019	2018
	(In Thousands)
Number of weighted average common shares outstanding	125,612	122,474	125,646	125,553
Assumed exercise of equity awards and warrants	—	—	—	—
Average diluted shares outstanding	125,612	122,474	125,646	125,553

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , the average diluted shares outstanding excludes the impact of all outstanding equity awards and warrants, as the inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses recorded during the periods. In addition, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , the calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes the impact of the CCLP Preferred Units (as defined in Note F ), as the inclusion of the impact from conversion of the CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE D – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 1, 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our Offshore Division. As a result, we have accounted for our Offshore Division, consisting of our Offshore Services and Maritech segments, as discontinued operations and have revised prior period financial statements to exclude these businesses from continuing operations.

NOTE E – LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS

We believe our capital structure, excluding CCLP, ("TETRA") and CCLP's capital structure should be considered separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt.

Consolidated long-term debt as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , consists of the following:

As of June 30, 2019 , TETRA had a $20.0 million outstanding balance and $8.9 million in letters of credit against its asset-based credit agreement ("ABL Credit Agreement"). As of June 30, 2019 , subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreement that may limit borrowings, TETRA had an availability of $40.6 million under this agreement. There was no balance outstanding under the CCLP asset-based credit agreement ("CCLP Credit Agreement") as of June 30, 2019 . On June 26, 2019, CCLP entered into an amendment of the CCLP Credit Agreement that, among other things, revised and increased the borrowing base, including adding the value of certain CCLP inventory in the determination of the borrowing base. As of June 30, 2019 , and subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the agreements that may limit borrowings under the CCLP Credit Agreement, CCLP had availability of $22.2 million .

TETRA and CCLP credit and senior note agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability to pay dividends or other restricted payments. TETRA and CCLP are both in compliance with all covenants of their respective credit and senior note agreements as of June 30, 2019 .

NOTE F – CCLP SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED UNITS

During 2016, CCLP issued an aggregate of 6,999,126 of CSI Compressco LP Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in CCLP (the “CCLP Preferred Units”) for a cash purchase price of $11.43 per CCLP Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”). We purchased 874,891 of the CCLP Preferred Units at the aggregate Issue Price of $10.0 million .

Unless otherwise redeemed for cash, a ratable portion of the CCLP Preferred Units has been, and will continue to be, converted into CCLP common units on the eighth day of each month over a period of thirty months that began in March 2017 and will end in August 2019 (each, a “Conversion Date”). Based on the number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of June 30, 2019 , the maximum aggregate number of CCLP common units that could be required to be issued pursuant to the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units is approximately 4.3 million CCLP common units; however, CCLP may, at its option, pay cash, or a combination of cash and common units, to the holders of the CCLP Preferred Units instead of issuing common units on any Conversion Date, subject to certain restrictions as described in the Second Amended and Restated CCLP Partnership Agreement and the CCLP Credit Agreement. Beginning with the January 2019 Conversion Date, CCLP has elected to redeem the remaining CCLP Preferred Units for cash, resulting in 1,870,681 CCLP Preferred Units being redeemed during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for $19.8 million , which includes approximately $0.9 million of redemption premium that was paid and charged to other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was 751,736 , of which we held 94,409 . The final redemption of the remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units, along with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid in kind units for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , occurred on August 8, 2019 , for an aggregate cash payment of $5.0 million of which $0.6 million was paid to us.

Based on the conversion provisions of the CCLP Preferred Units, calculated as of June 30, 2019 , using the trading prices of the common units over the prior month, along with other factors, and as otherwise impacted by the existence of certain conditions related to the CCLP common units (the "Conversion Price"), the theoretical number of CCLP common units that would be issued if all of the outstanding CCLP Preferred Units were converted on June 30, 2019 on the same basis as the monthly conversions would be approximately 2.7 million CCLP common units, with an aggregate market value of $9.7 million . If converted to CCLP common units, a $1 decrease in the Conversion Price would result in the issuance of 1.3 million additional CCLP common units pursuant to these conversion provisions.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial Instruments

CCLP Preferred Units

The CCLP Preferred Units are valued using a lattice modeling technique that, among a number of lattice structures, includes significant unobservable items (a Level 3 fair value measurement). These unobservable items include (i) the volatility of the trading price of CCLP's common units compared to a volatility analysis of equity prices of CCLP's comparable peer companies, (ii) a yield analysis that utilizes market information related to the debt yields of comparable peer companies, and (iii) a future conversion price analysis.

Warrants

The Warrants are valued using a Black Scholes option valuation model that includes implied volatility of the trading price (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration associated with the February 2018 acquisition of SwiftWater Energy Services, LLC ("SwiftWater") is based on a probability simulation utilizing forecasted revenues and EBITDA of the water management business of SwiftWater and all of our pre-existing operations in the Permian Basin (a Level 3 fair value measurement). At June 30, 2019 , based on a forecast of SwiftWater 2019 revenues and EBITDA, the estimated fair value for the liability associated with the remaining contingent purchase price consideration was $0.2 million , resulting in $0.4 million and $0.8 million being credited to other (income) expense, net, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 , the sellers received a payment of $10.0 million based on SwiftWater's performance during 2018. In addition, as part of the purchase of JRGO Energy Services LLC ("JRGO") during December 2018, the sellers were paid contingent consideration of $1.4 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2019, based on JRGO's performance during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Derivative Contracts

We and CCLP each enter into short term foreign currency forward derivative contracts with third parties as part of a program designed to mitigate the currency exchange rate risk exposure on selected transactions of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019 , we and CCLP had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding relating to portions of our foreign operations:

Derivative Contracts	US Dollar Notional Amount	Traded Exchange Rate	Settlement Date
	(In Thousands)
Forward purchase Euro	$ 7,333	1.13	9/19/2019

Under this program, we and CCLP may enter into similar derivative contracts from time to time. Although contracts pursuant to this program will serve as an economic hedge of the cash flow of our currency exchange risk exposure, they are not formally designated as hedge contracts or qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments during a period will be included in the determination of earnings for that period.

The fair values of foreign currency derivative instruments are based on quoted market values (a Level 2 fair value measurement). The fair values of our and CCLP's foreign currency derivative instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , are as follows:

Foreign currency derivative instruments	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value at June 30, 2019		Fair Value at December 31, 2018
		(In Thousands)
Forward purchase contracts	Current assets	$ 147		$ 41
Forward sale contracts	Current assets	64		76
Forward sale contracts	Current liabilities	—		(126	)
Forward purchase contracts	Current liabilities	(23	)	(168	)
Net asset (liability)		$ 188		$ (177	)

None of our foreign currency derivative contracts contain credit risk related contingent features that would require us to post assets or collateral for contracts that are classified as liabilities. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 , we recognized $0.2 million and $0.7 million of net (gains) losses , respectively, reflected in other (income) expense, net, associated with our foreign currency derivative program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized $(0.7) million and $(0.8) million of net (gains) losses , respectively, reflected in other (income) expense, net, associated with our foreign currency derivative program.

A summary of these recurring fair value measurements by valuation hierarchy as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , is as follows:

The fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings and long-term debt pursuant to TETRA's ABL Credit Agreement and Term Credit Agreement, and the CCLP Credit Agreement approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of the publicly traded CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , were approximately $267.1 million and $266.3 million , respectively. Those fair values compare to the face amount of $ 295.9 million both at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The fair values of the CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were approximately $344.8 million and $332.5 million , respectively. These fair values compare to aggregate principal amount of such notes at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , of $350.0 million . We based the fair values of the CCLP 7.25% Senior Notes and the CCLP 7.50% Senior Secured Notes as of June 30, 2019 on recent trades for these notes.

NOTE H – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Contingencies of Discontinued Operations

In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech's remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of the outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the business of our Maritech segment and Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's abandonment and decommissioning obligations. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required, we, as the former parent company of Maritech, may be required to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work. Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco further agreed to replace, within 180 days following the closing, such replacement performance bonds with a maximum of three performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million, meeting certain requirements. In the event Orinoco does not provide either tranche of replacement bonds, Orinoco is required to make certain cash escrow payments to us. The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and it has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. Each party filed a motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit asserting its respective claims. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which has the effect of dismissing our present claims for the replacement bonds and the escrow payments provided for in the Bonding Agreement. We plan to seek reconsideration of the decision by the court and/or file an appeal of the summary judgment. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect.

NOTE J – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Performance Obligations. Revenue is generally recognized when we transfer control of our products or services to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services to our customers.

Product Sales. Product sales revenues are generally recognized when we ship products from our facility to our customer. The product sales for our Completion Fluid & Products Division consist primarily of clear brine fluids ("CBFs"), additives, and associated manufactured products. Product sales for our Water & Flowback Services Division are typically attributed to specific performance obligations within certain production testing service arrangements. Parts and equipment sales comprise the product sales for the Compression Division.

Services . Service revenues represent revenue recognized over time, as our customer arrangements typically provide agreed upon day-rates (monthly service rates for compression services) and we recognize service revenue based upon the number of days services have been performed. Service revenue recognized over time is associated with a majority of our Water & Flowback Services Division arrangements, compression service and aftermarket service contracts within our Compression Division, and a small portion of Completion Fluids & Products Division revenue that is associated with completion fluid service arrangements. With the exception of the initial terms of the compression services contracts for medium- and high-horsepower compressor packages of our Compression Division, our customer contracts are generally for terms of one year or less. The majority of the service arrangements in the Water & Flowback Services Division are for a period of 90 days or less. Within our Compression Division service revenue, most aftermarket service revenues are recognized at a point in time when we transfer control of our products and complete the delivery of services to our customers.

We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most product sales and services and payment terms typically range from 30 to 60 days from the date we invoice our customer. Since the period between when we deliver products or services and when the customer pays for such products or services is not expected to exceed one year, we have elected not to calculate or disclose a financing component for our customer contracts.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of revenue for a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. For example, consideration received from customers during the fabrication of new compressor packages is typically deferred until control of the compressor package is transferred to our customer. For any arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we use management's estimated selling price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. For revenue associated with mobilization of service equipment as part of a service contract arrangement, such revenue, if significant, is deferred and amortized over the estimated service period. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $45.3 million of remaining performance obligations related to our compression service contracts. As a practical expedient, this amount does not reflect revenue for compression service contracts whose original expected duration is less than 12 months and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. T he remaining performance obligations are expected to be recognized through 2022 as follows (in thousands):

	2019	2020	2021	2022	2023	Total
	(In Thousands)
Compression service contracts remaining performance obligations	$ 19,830	$ 19,279	$ 6,108	$ 101	$ —	$ 45,318

Sales taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping costs as part of cost of product sales when control over our products (i.e. delivery) has transferred to the customer.

Use of Estimates. In recognizing revenue for variable consideration arrangements, the amount of variable consideration recognized is limited so that it is probable that significant amounts of revenues will not be reversed in future periods when the uncertainty is resolved. For products returned by the customer, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. For volume discounts earned by the customer, we estimate the discount (if any) based on our estimate of the total expected volume of products sold or services to be provided to the customer during the discount period. In certain contracts for the sale of CBF, we may agree to issue credits for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids from certain customers at an agreed price that is based on the condition of the fluids. For sales of CBF, we adjust the revenue recognized in the period of shipment by the estimated amount of the credit expected to be issued to the customer, and this estimate is based on historical

experience. As of June 30, 2019 , the amount of remaining credits expected to be issued for the repurchase of reclaimable used fluids was $4.2 million tha t were recorded in inventory (right of return asset) and accounts payable. T here were no material differences between amounts recognized during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 , compared to estimates made in a prior period from these variable consideration arrangements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. We consider contract assets to be trade accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to consideration and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. In certain instances, particularly those requiring customer specific documentation prior to invoicing, our invoicing of the customer is delayed until certain documentation requirements are met. In those cases, we recognize a contract asset rather than a billed trade accounts receivable until we are able to invoice the customer. Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with these documentation requirements, were $35.4 million and $44.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.

We classify contract liabilities as Unearned Income in our consolidated balance sheets. Such deferred revenue typically results from advance payments received on orders for new compressor equipment prior to the time such equipment is completed and transferred to the customer in accordance with the customer contract.

The following table reflects the changes in our contract liabilities for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended June 30, — 2019		2018
	(In Thousands)
Unearned Income, beginning of period	$ 25,333		$ 17,050

Unearned income, end of period	$ 31,670		$ 29,134

During the six month period ended June 30, 2019 , we recognized in product sales revenue of $19.1 million from unearned income that was deferred as of December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized in product sales revenue of $15.4 million from unearned income that was deferred as of our adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018.

Contract Costs. As of June 30, 2019 , contract costs were immaterial.

NOTE K – LEASES

We have operating leases for some of our transportation equipment, office space, warehouse space, operating locations, and machinery and equipment. We have finance leases for certain storage tanks and equipment rentals. These finance leases are not material to our financial statements. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 16 years . Some of our leases have options to extend for various periods, while some have termination options with prior notice of generally 30 days or six months. The office space, warehouse space, operating location leases, and machinery and equipment leases generally require us to pay all maintenance and insurance costs. We do not have leases that have not yet commenced that create significant rights and obligations. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Variable rent expense was not material.

Our corporate headquarters facility located in The Woodlands, Texas, was sold on December 31, 2012, pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction. As a condition to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the facility, the parties entered into a lease agreement for the facility having an initial lease term of 15 years , which is classified as an operating lease. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we have the ability to extend the lease for five successive five year periods at base rental rates to be determined at the time of each extension.

NOTE L – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Contingencies of Discontinued Operations

Part of the consideration we received in the March 1, 2018 disposition of our Offshore Division was a promissory note in the original principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable by Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC) to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the Offshore Division totaling approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2019 are payable to us.

In August 2019, certain creditors of Epic Companies filed an involuntary petition against Epic Companies under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, we continue to monitor this matter and there can be no assurance that future developments, including those involving the financial condition of Epic Companies or relating to the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, may or may not adversely impact our ability to timely collect amounts owed to us by Epic Companies pursuant to the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement and the Epic Promissory Note.

CCLP Series A Convertible Preferred Units

On August 8, 2019, the remaining 375,868 CCLP Preferred Units, of which we held 47,205 , were redeemed, along with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid in kind units for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, for an aggregate cash payment of $5.0 million of which $0.6 million was paid to us.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, the following discussion and analysis also should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2019 (" 2018 Annual Report ").

Business Overview

The increase in consolidated revenues during the six month period ended June 30, 2019 primarily reflects the growth in demand for compression services and equipment, as well as an increase in completion fluids activity. Our Compression Division revenues increased 36.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year quarter, driven by increased new compressor equipment sales and reflecting the increased utilization of its compression services fleet. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division also reported increased revenues, a 4.2% increase compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased Gulf of Mexico and international CBF product sales. Demand for these products and services during the period was strong despite continued volatility in pricing for oil, which affects the plans of many of our oil and gas operations customers. Recent oil price volatility has particularly affected domestic onshore demand for our Water & Flowback Services Division services, resulting in increased customer contract pricing pressure. Water & Flowback Services Division revenues and profitability during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 reflects the impact of this decreased demand. Other than for the Compression Division, the outlook for domestic onshore demand for our products and services is expected to continue to be uncertain for the remainder of 2019.

Funding for the expected long-term growth in our operations remains a key focus. Consolidated cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased compared to the prior year period and we and our CSI Compressco LP ("CCLP") subsidiary are utilizing operating cash flows to fund our respective capital expenditure needs. We also have capacity under our term credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) and our asset-based lending credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) to fund our growth capital expenditure plans, as well as potential acquisition transactions. In addition, our Compression Division, through the separate capital structure of CCLP, expects to fund additional 2019 growth capital expenditures for new compression services equipment through $4.3 million of currently available cash as of June 30, 2019 , expected operating cash flows, and up to $15.0 million of new compression services equipment to be purchased by us, and leased to CCLP, of which $11.1 million has been funded as of June 30, 2019. These sources are expected to enable CCLP to meet its growth capital expenditure requirements without having to access available borrowings under its credit agreement (the "CCLP Credit Agreement") and without having to access the current debt and equity markets. We and CCLP are aggressively managing our working capital and capital expenditure needs in order to maximize our liquidity in the current environment. The earliest maturity date of our long-term debt is September 2023 and the earliest maturity date of CCLP's long-term debt is August 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes or developments in the evaluation of the accounting estimates and

the underlying assumptions or methodologies pertaining to our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed

in our 2018 Annual Report . In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported. These judgments and estimates may change as new events occur, as new information is acquired, and as changes in our operating environments are encountered. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates, and those differences may be material.

Consolidated revenues during the current year quarter increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $36.0 million increase in Compression Division revenues. The increase in Compression Division revenues was primarily driven by increased new compressor equipment sales activity. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit during the current year quarter increased slightly compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased gross profit from our Completion Fluids & Products and Compression Divisions. This increase was largely offset, however, by the lower gross profit of our Water & Flowback Services Division resulting primarily from increased customer pricing pressures. Despite the improvement in the activity levels of certain of our businesses, domestic onshore and offshore activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures also continues to impact profitability in certain markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased salary and employee expenses of $2.7 million and increased professional services fees of $0.3 million , partially offset by decreased insurance and other general expenses of $0.2 million and decreased provision for bad debt of $0.1 million . Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by executive transition costs of our Corporate Division. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year quarter.

Consolidated interest expense, net, remained flat during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased Corporate interest expense offset by Compression Division decreased interest expense. Corporate interest expense increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement during the current year period. Compression Division interest expense decreased due to

26

Table of Contents

the conversions and redemption of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding. Interest expense during the 2019 and 2018 quarterly periods includes $0.9 million and $0.9 million , respectively, of finance cost amortization.

The Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815 and therefore they are classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Increases (or decreases) in the fair value of the Warrants are generally associated with increases (or decreases) in the trading price of our common stock, resulting in adjustments to earnings for the associated valuation losses (gains), and resulting in future volatility of our earnings during the period the Warrants are outstanding.

The CCLP Preferred Units may be settled using a variable number of CCLP common units, and therefore the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units is classified as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 480. Because the CCLP Preferred Units are convertible into CCLP common units at the option of the holder, the fair value of the CCLP Preferred Units will generally increase or decrease with the trading price of the CCLP common units, and this increase (decrease) in CCLP Preferred Unit fair value will be charged (credited) to earnings, as appropriate, resulting in volatility of our earnings during the period the CCLP Preferred Units are outstanding. The final redemption of the remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units occurred on August 8, 2019.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $0.6 million of other expense during the current year quarter compared to $3.8 million of other expense during the prior year quarter primarily due to $4.7 million of decreased expense associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for the SwiftWater acquisition, offset by increased expense of $0.6 million associated with a redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes during the three month period ended June 30, 2019 is attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 of negative 43.6% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to $2.7 million of increased services revenue from offshore completion fluids activity in the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern hemisphere compared to the prior year quarter. Additionally, product

Table of Contents

sales revenue increased $0.5 million , as increased offshore completion activity resulting in increased CBF product sales more than offset a decrease in manufactured product sales.

Completion Fluids & Products Division gross profit during the current year quarter increased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the increased revenues and profitability associated with the mix of CBF products and services. Completion Fluids & Products Division profitability in future periods will continue to be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptune (R) completion fluid projects.

The Completion Fluids & Products Division reported an increase in pretax earnings during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased gross profit discussed above. Completion Fluids & Products Division administrative cost levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, with $0.3 million of increased legal and professional fees, $0.2 million of increased salary and employee related expenses, $0.1 million of increased bad debt expense and $0.2 million of increased general expenses. The Completion Fluids & Products Division continues to review opportunities to further reduce its administrative costs. Other expense increased primarily due to increased foreign currency losses.

Water & Flowback Services Division revenues decreased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to increased customer pricing pressures and revenues recorded from specific high-margin Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continents customer projects during the prior year period.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected decreased gross profit during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the decreased revenues from the high-margin projects described above. Customer pricing continues to be challenging due to excess availability of equipment in certain markets. The Water & Flowback Services Division continues to monitor its cost structure, minimize costs, and seeks to capture additional synergies following the SwiftWater and JRGO acquisitions.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreased pretax income during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the reduction in gross profit described above. General and administrative expense levels decreased compared to the prior year quarter due to decreased salary and employee related expenses of $0.5 million , decreased professional services fees of $0.3 million , and decreased bad debt expense of $0.1 million , partially offset by increased insurance and other general expenses of $0.2 million . Other (income) expense includes $0.4 million current period gain compared to a $4.3 million prior period charge associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater.

Compression Division revenues increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $26.8 million increase in product sales revenues, due to a higher number of new compressor equipment sales compared to the prior year quarter. Demand for new compressor equipment continues to be strong. In addition, current year revenues reflect a $9.2 million increase in service revenues. This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compression fleet utilization rates, led by increased utilization of the high- and medium-horsepower fleet.

Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased revenues discussed above. This increase was despite a $2.5 million charge for the impairment on certain low-horsepower compressor equipment and associated inventory during the current year period. Higher compression fleet utilization rates have led to increases in customer contract pricing.

The Compression Division recorded a decreased pretax loss during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense decreased compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the conversion and redemption of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year quarter, due to increased legal and professional fees of $0.4 million and increased bad debt expense of $0.1 million , offset by decreased other general expenses of $0.5 million . The CCLP Preferred Units fair value adjustment resulted in a $0.1 million charge to earnings in the current year quarter compared to a $0.5 million credit to earnings in the prior year period. Other (income) expense, net, reflected increased expense primarily due to $0.6 million of redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of the CCLP Preferred Units for cash and increased foreign currency losses.

resulted in a $1.5 million credit to earnings during the current year quarter compared to a $2.2 million charge to earnings in the prior year quarter. Corporate general and administrative expense increased primarily due to increased salary, incentives, and other employee related expenses, which included $1.8 million of executive transition costs incurred during the current year quarter. These increases were partially offset by $0.2 million of decreased professional service fees. Interest expense increased resulting from increased borrowings. In addition, other expense, net, increased primarily due to increased foreign currency losses of $0.3 million.

Consolidated revenues for the current year period increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased Compression Division and Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues, which increased by $54.0 million and $11.7 million , respectively. The increased revenues of the Compression Division were primarily due to increased new compressor equipment sales activity. The increase in revenues for the Completion Fluids & Products Division was primarily due to increased international product sales. Our Water & Flowback Services Division also reported increased revenues, primarily driven by the impact of a full six months of SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018. See Divisional Comparisons section below for additional discussion.

Consolidated gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased profitability of our Compression Division and our Completion Fluids & Products Division. The increased gross profit from these divisions more than offset the lower gross profit of our Water & Flowback Services Division , which experienced increased costs and challenging customer pricing in competitive markets compared to the prior year period. Despite the improvement in activity levels of certain of our businesses, onshore and offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain flat and the impact of pricing pressures continues to challenge profitability in certain markets. Operating expenses reflect the increase in consolidated revenues, although we remain aggressive in managing operating costs and minimizing increased headcount, despite the increased operations.

Table of Contents

Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to $6.6 million of increased salary related expenses and $0.2 million of increased insurance and other general expenses, partially offset by $0.3 million of decreased professional services fees, and $0.3 million of decreased consulting and other expenses. Increased general and administrative expenses were driven primarily by our Compression and Corporate Divisions. Due to the increased consolidated revenues discussed above, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues decreased compared to the prior year period.

Consolidated interest expense, net, increased in the current year period primarily due to Corporate and Compression Division interest expense. Corporate interest expense increased due to additional borrowings under the TETRA Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement in the current period. Compression Division interest expense increased due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates compared to the prior year period. Interest expense during the current year period and the prior year period includes $1.9 million and $2.1 million , respectively, of finance cost amortization.

Consolidated other (income) expense, net, was $0.3 million of income during the current year period compared to $6.6 million of expense during the prior year period primarily due to $5.1 million of decreased expense associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for the SwiftWater acquisition and $3.5 million of decreased expense related to the unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings during the prior year period as a result of the termination of the CCLP Bank Credit Facility. These decreases were offset by increased expense of $1.1 million associated with a redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash and increased foreign currency losses.

Our consolidated provision for income taxes for the current year period is primarily attributable to taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions and Texas gross margin taxes. Our consolidated effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 of negative 18.0% was primarily the result of losses generated in entities for which no related tax benefit has been recorded. The losses generated by these entities do not result in tax benefits due to offsetting valuation allowances being recorded against the related net deferred tax assets. We establish a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in our deferred tax assets are net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits that are available to offset future income tax liabilities in the U.S. as well as in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The increase in Completion Fluids & Products Division revenues during the current year period compared to the prior year period was primarily due to $6.8 million of increased product sales revenue primarily due to increased international CBF product sales and domestic manufactured products sales, partially offset by reduced CBF product sales revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, service revenues increased $4.9 million , primarily due to increased international completion services activity. Offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico activity levels remain challenged, and the impact of pricing pressures continues to hamper profitability.

Table of Contents

Completion Fluids & Products Division gross profit during the current year period increased significantly compared to the prior year period primarily due to the profitability associated with the increased manufactured products and international CBF sales revenues. Gross profit was negatively affected by approximately $0.7 million of costs associated with a damaged manufactured products facility, a portion of which is expected to be reimbursed from insurance proceeds in future periods. Completion Fluids & Products Division profitability in future periods will be affected by the mix of its products and services, including the timing of TETRA CS Neptune completion fluid projects.

The Completion Fluids & Products Division reported a significant increase in pretax earnings during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to the increase in gross profit discussed above. Completion Fluids & Products Division administrative cost levels increased compared to the prior year period, as $0.7 million of increased legal and professional fees and $0.4 million of increased general expenses were partially offset by $0.3 million of decreased salary and employee related expenses.

Water & Flowback Services Division revenues increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period due to increased water management services activity. Water management and flowback services revenues increased $7.0 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from the impact of a full six month of revenues from SwiftWater, which was acquired on February 28, 2018, and the impact of the December 2018 acquisition of JRGO. Product sales revenue increased by $0.1 million , due to international equipment sales activity.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reflected decreased gross profit during the current year period compared to the prior year period, despite increased revenues, due to a shift in revenue mix away from smaller, capital constrained customers towards larger operators with stronger balance sheets. The costs to demobilize from one customer to mobilize for another within the same period had a meaningful impact on profitability. In addition, we reflected decreased revenues and profit from certain high-margin projects performed during the prior year period. We also experienced high maintenance costs on our flowback service equipment following the significant activity experienced in the fourth quarter of 2018, which was our highest flowback service revenue quarter in over three years.

The Water & Flowback Services Division reported decreased pretax income compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit described above. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the $2.5 million impact from additional administrative expenses from the operations added as a result of the 2018 acquisitions. Total general and administrative increases included increased wage and benefit related expenses of $0.6 million , increased sales and marketing expenses of $0.3 million , and increased general expenses of $0.3 million , offset by decreased professional fees of $0.3 million . The Water & Flowback Services Division reported other income, net, during the current year period compared to other expense during the prior year period primarily due to $0.8 million of current period income associated with the remeasurement of the contingent purchase price consideration for SwiftWater compared to a $4.3 million expense during the prior year period.

Compression Division revenues increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to a $37.2 million increase in product sales revenues, due to improving demand. Demand for new compressor equipment remains strong, although the current equipment sales backlog has decreased compared to the prior year period, due to significant sales recorded in the prior year period. Changes in our new equipment sales backlog are a function of additional customer orders less completed orders that result in equipment sales revenues. In addition, current year revenues reflect a $16.8 million increase in service revenues from compression and aftermarket services operations. This increase in service revenues was primarily due to increasing demand for compression services, as reflected by increased compression fleet utilization rates. Overall utilization of the Compression Division's compression fleet has improved sequentially for the past two year period, led by increased utilization of the high- and medium-horsepower fleet.

Compression Division gross profit increased during the current year period compared to the prior year due to increased revenues discussed above. This increase was despite a $2.5 million charge for the impairment on certain low-horsepower compressor equipment and associated inventory during the current year period. The increased compression fleet utilization rates have led to increases in customer contract pricing.

The Compression Division recorded less pretax loss in the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased gross profit discussed above. Interest expense increased compared to the prior year period due to higher CCLP outstanding debt balances and a higher interest rate on the CCLP Senior Secured Notes, a portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay the balance outstanding under the previous CCLP bank credit facility. General and administrative expense levels increased compared to the prior year period, due to $2.2 million of increased salary and employee-related expenses, including the impact of increased headcount, incentives and equity compensation, and increased professional services of $0.4 million . In addition, other expense decreased $2.6 million, as $1.1 million of expense during the current year period associated with the redemption premium incurred in connection with the redemption of the CCLP Preferred Units for cash was offset by $3.5 million of expense during the prior year period for unamortized deferred financing costs charged to earnings as a result of the termination of the previous CCLP bank credit facility. The CCLP Preferred Units fair value adjustment resulted in a $1.3 million charge to earnings during the current year period compared to a $0.8 million charge to earnings in the prior year period.

Corporate Overhead pretax loss increased during the current year period compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased interest expense resulting from increased borrowings. Corporate general and administrative expense increased primarily due to increased salary related expense of $4.1 million , which included $1.8 million of executive transition costs. This increase was offset by $1.1 million of decreased professional fees, $0.4 million of decreased general expenses, and $0.6 million of decreased consulting fees. The fair value of the outstanding Warrants liability resulted in a $1.1 million credit to earnings compared to an $0.2 million charge to earnings during the prior year period. In addition, other expense of $0.3 million was recorded during the current year period, compared to $0.4 million during the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that the capital structure steps we have taken during the past three years continue to support our ability to meet our financial obligations and fund future growth as needed, despite current uncertain operating and financial markets. As of June 30, 2019 , we and CCLP are in compliance with all covenants of our respective debt agreements. Information about the terms and covenants of debt agreements can be found in our 2018 Annual Report .

Because of the level of consolidated debt, we believe it is important to consider our capital structure and CCLP's capital structure separately, as there are no cross default provisions, cross collateralization provisions, or cross guarantees between CCLP's debt and TETRA's debt. Our consolidated debt outstanding has a carrying value of approximately $856.5 million as of June 30, 2019 . However, approximately $634.4 million of this consolidated debt balance is owed by CCLP and is serviced from the existing cash balances and cash flows of CCLP, and $343.8 million of which is secured by certain of CCLP's assets. Through our common unit ownership interest in CCLP, which was approximately 34% as of June 30, 2019 , and ownership of an approximately 1.4% general partner interest, we receive our share of the distributable cash flows of CCLP through its quarterly cash distributions. Approximately $4.3 million of the $26.0 million of the cash balance reflected on our consolidated balance sheet is owned by CCLP and is not accessible by us. The following table provides condensed consolidating balance sheet information reflecting TETRA's net assets and CCLP's net assets that service and secure TETRA's and CCLP's respective capital structures.

Operating Activities

Consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $50.5 million . CCLP generated $40.3 million of our consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a utilization of $4.3 million during the prior year period. Operating cash flows increased due to improved operating profitability and due to minimizing the use of cash for working capital changes, particularly related to the management of inventory levels and the timing of payments of accounts payable. We have taken steps to aggressively manage working capital, including increased accounts receivable collection efforts. We continue to monitor customer credit risk in the current environment and focus on serving larger capitalized oil and gas operators and national oil companies.

Investing Activities

Total cash capital expenditures during the first six months of 2019 were $60.6 million . Our Completion Fluids & Products Division spent $3.6 million on capital expenditures during the first six months of 2019 , the majority of which related to plant and facility additions. Our Water & Flowback Services Division spent $16.8 million on capital expenditures, primarily to add to its water management equipment fleet. Our Compression Division spent $40.1 million , primarily for growth capital expenditure projects to increase its compression fleet.

Table of Contents

Generally, a majority of our planned capital expenditures has been related to identified opportunities to grow and expand certain of our existing businesses. However, certain of these planned expenditures have been, and may continue to be, postponed or canceled as we are reviewing all capital expenditure plans carefully in an effort to conserve cash. We currently have no long-term capital expenditure commitments. The deferral of capital projects could affect our ability to expand our operations in the future. Excluding our Compression Division, we expect to spend approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million during 2019 on capital expenditures, primarily to expand our Water & Flowback Services Division equipment fleet. Our Compression Division expects to spend approximately $80.0 million to $85.0 million on capital expenditures during 2019 primarily to expand its compression fleet in response to increased demand for compression services. If the forecasted demand for our products and services during the remainder of 2019 increases or decreases, the amount of planned expenditures on growth and expansion may be adjusted.

Financing Activities

During the first six months of 2019 , the total amount of consolidated cash provided by financing activities was $18.7 million , consisting primarily of borrowings under our ABL Credit Agreement and our Term Credit Agreement. We and CCLP may supplement our existing cash balances and cash flow from operating activities with short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, leases, issuances of equity and debt securities, and other sources of capital.

TETRA Long-Term Debt

Asset-Based Credit Agreement . The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $100 million, subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of TETRA’s and any other borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable, and contains within the facility a letter of credit sublimit of $20.0 million and a swingline loan sublimit of $10.0 million. The ABL Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2023. As of August 7, 2019 , we have $31.0 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Agreement and $6.9 million letters of credit.

Term Credit Agreement . The Term Credit Agreement provides for an initial loan in the amount of $200 million and the availability of additional loans, subject to the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, up to an aggregate amount of $75 million. The Term Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 10, 2025. As of August 7, 2019 , $220.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our Term Credit Agreement is outstanding.

CCLP Financing Activities

CCLP Preferred Units . Beginning in January 2019, CCLP elected to redeem the remaining CCLP Preferred Units for cash, resulting in 783,046 Preferred Units being redeemed during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for $22.5 million , which includes approximately $1.1 million of redemption premium that was paid. Including the impact of paid in kind distributions of CCLP Preferred Units and conversions of CCLP Preferred Units into CCLP common units, and the redemption of CCLP Preferred Units for cash, the total number of CCLP Preferred Units outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was 751,736 , of which we held 94,409 . The final redemption of the remaining outstanding CCLP Preferred Units, along with a final cash payment made in lieu of paid in kind Preferred Units for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , occurred on August 8, 2019.

CCLP Bank Credit Facilities . The CCLP Credit Agreement, as amended, includes a maximum credit commitment of $50.0 million available for loans, letters of credit (with a sublimit of $25.0 million ) and swingline loans (with a sublimit of $5.0 million), subject to a borrowing base to be determined by reference to the value of CCLP’s and any other borrowers’ accounts receivable. Such maximum credit commitment may be increased by $25.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CCLP Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2019 , CCLP had no outstanding balance and had $4.5 million in letters of credit against the CCLP Credit Agreement. The CCLP Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 29, 2023. As of August 7, 2019 , CCLP has no balance outstanding under the CCLP Credit Agreement and $3.7 million in letters of credit, resulting in $31.6 million of availability, reflecting recent increases to the borrowing base.

CCLP Senior Secured Notes . As of August 7, 2019 , $350.0 million in aggregate principal was outstanding. The CCLP Senior Secured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum and are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2025.

CCLP Senior Notes . As of August 7, 2019 , $295.9 million in aggregate principal amount was outstanding. The CCLP Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum and are scheduled to mature on August 15, 2022.

Other Sources and Uses

In addition to the various aforementioned credit facilities and senior notes, we and CCLP fund our respective short-term liquidity requirements from cash generated by our respective operations, leases, and from short-term vendor financing. Should additional capital be required, we believe that we have the ability to raise such capital through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. However, instability or volatility in the capital markets at the times we need to access capital may affect the cost of capital and the ability to raise capital for an indeterminable length of time. If it is necessary to issue additional equity to fund our capital needs, additional dilution to our common stockholders will occur.

On April 11, 2019, we filed a universal shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. On May 1, 2019, the Registration Statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC. Pursuant to this registration statement, we have the ability to sell debt or equity securities in one or more public offerings up to an aggregate public offering price of $464.1 million, inclusive of $64.1 million of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our currently outstanding warrants. This shelf registration statement currently provides us additional flexibility with regard to potential financings that we may undertake when market conditions permit or our financial condition may require.

The Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of CCLP requires that within 45 days after the end of each quarter, CCLP distribute all of its available cash, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, to its common unitholders of record on the applicable record date. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , CCLP distributed $1.0 million in cash, including $0.6 million to its public unitholders, reflecting the reduction in quarterly distributions announced previously by CCLP in December 2018. There can be no assurance that quarterly distributions from CCLP will increase from this amount per unit going forward.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019 , we had no “off balance sheet arrangements” that may have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

We adopted the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019. The new lease standard had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements, resulting from the inclusion of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note A - "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and Note K - “Leases” for further discussion.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Contingencies of Discontinued Operations

In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase Agreement with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC ("Orinoco") that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of Maritech's remaining oil and gas properties and related assets. Also in early 2018, we closed the Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Orinoco that provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of the outstanding membership interests in Maritech. As a result of these transactions, we have effectively exited the business of our Maritech segment and Orinoco assumed all of Maritech's abandonment and decommissioning obligations. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work required, we, as the former parent company of Maritech, may be required to perform the abandonment and decommissioning work. Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these transactions (the "Bonding Agreement"), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds in an aggregate amount of $46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of the asset retirement obligations of Maritech and agreed to replace, within 90 days following the closing, the initial bonds delivered at closing with other non-revocable performance bonds, meeting certain requirements, in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million. Orinoco further agreed to replace, within 180 days following the closing, such replacement performance bonds with a maximum of three performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $47.0 million, meeting certain requirements. In the event Orinoco does not provide either tranche of replacement bonds, Orinoco is required to make certain cash escrow payments to us. The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered such replacement bonds and it has not made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments and we filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. Each party filed a motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit asserting its respective claims. A summary judgment was granted in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes which has the effect of dismissing our present claims for the replacement bonds and the escrow payments provided for in the Bonding Agreement. We plan to seek reconsideration of the decision by the court and/or file an appeal of the summary judgment. The non-revocable performance bonds delivered at the closing remain in effect.

Part of the consideration we received in the March 1, 2018 disposition of our Offshore Division was a promissory note in the original principal amount of $7.5 million (the “Epic Promissory Note”) payable by Epic Companies, LLC (“Epic Companies,” formerly known as Epic Offshore Specialty, LLC) to us in full, together with interest at a rate of 1.52% per annum, on December 31, 2019, along with a personal guaranty agreement from Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke guaranteeing the payment obligations of Epic Companies pursuant to the Epic Promissory Note (the “Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Offshore Services Purchase Agreement”) and other agreements with Epic Companies, certain other amounts relating to the Offshore Division totaling approximately $1.4 million as of June 30, 2019 are payable to us.

In August 2019, certain creditors of Epic Companies filed an involuntary petition against Epic Companies under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Although the Epic Promissory Note is not currently due and is guaranteed by the Clarke Promissory Note Guaranty Agreement, we continue to monitor this matter and there can be no assurance that future developments, including those involving the financial condition of Epic Companies or relating to the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, may or may not adversely impact our ability to timely collect amounts owed to us by Epic Companies pursuant to the Offshore Services Purchase Agreement and the Epic Promissory Note.

(1) We have estimated the timing of these payments for asset retirement obligation liabilities based upon our plans. The amounts shown represent the discounted obligation as of June 30, 2019 .

(2) Amounts exclude other long-term liabilities reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet that do not have known payment streams. These excluded amounts include approximately $0.8 million of liabilities under FASB Codification Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of settlements. These excluded amounts also include the approximately $7.9 million July 8, 2019 and August 8, 2019 final payments for liabilities related to the CCLP Preferred Units. Refer to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements- Note F – "CCLP Series A Convertible Preferred Units," for further discussion.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “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. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are identifiable by the use of the following words, the negative of such words, and other similar words: “anticipates", "assumes", “believes,” "budgets", “could,” “estimates,” "expects", "forecasts", "goal", "intends", "may", "might", "plans", "predicts", "projects", "schedules", "seeks", "should", "targets", "will", and "would".

Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

• economic and operating conditions that are outside of our control, including the supply, demand, and prices of oil and natural gas;

• the availability of adequate sources of capital to us;

• the levels of competition we encounter;

• the activity levels of our customers;

• our operational performance;

• the availability of raw materials and labor at reasonable prices;

• risks related to acquisitions and our growth strategy;

• restrictions under our debt agreements and the consequences of any failure to comply with debt covenants;

• the effect and results of litigation, regulatory matters, settlements, audits, assessments, and contingencies;

• risks related to our foreign operations;

• information technology risks including the risk from cyberattack, and

• other risks and uncertainties under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report , and as included in our other filings with the SEC, which are available free of charge on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

The risks and uncertainties referred to above are generally beyond our ability to control and we cannot predict all the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, and such variances may be material.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements made by or attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements we may make, except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. For a discussion of our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices, please read “Risk Factors — Certain Business Risks” in our 2018 Annual Report . We depend on U.S. and international demand for and production of oil and natural gas, and a reduction in this demand or production could adversely affect the demand or the prices we charge for our services, which could cause our revenues and operating cash flows to decrease in the future. We do not currently hedge, and do not intend to hedge, our indirect exposure to fluctuating commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2019 , due to borrowings made during the period then ended, we had balances outstanding under the Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, and such borrowings bear interest at variable rates of interest.
