NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Newpark Resources, Inc. is a geographically diversified supplier providing environmentally-sensitive products, as well as rentals and services to customers across multiple industries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Newpark Resources, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and do not include all information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our fiscal year end is December 31, our second quarter represents the three month period ended June 30, and our first half represents the six month period ended June 30. The results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2024, our results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2024 and 2023, and our cash flows for the first half of 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Our balance sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, see Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We currently operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systems and Industrial Solutions.

•Our Fluids Systems segment provides drilling and completion fluids products and related technical services to customers for oil, natural gas, and geothermal projects primarily in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and North America, as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific.

Over the past few years, our primary focus within the Fluids Systems segment has been the transformation into a more agile and simplified business focused on key markets, while monetizing assets in underperforming or sub-scale markets and reducing our invested capital, particularly in the U.S. In 2023, we exited our stimulation chemicals product line, certain operations for offshore Australia, and our operations in Chile. In September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business. See Note 2 for additional information.

•Our Industrial Solutions segment provides temporary worksite access solutions, including the rental of our recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”), pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. We also sell our manufactured recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as well as other segment items, extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify the applicability to single reportable segment entities, permit more than one measure of profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. This guidance will be effective for us for the year ending December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will result in expanded reportable segment disclosures.

Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will impact our income tax disclosures.

Note 2 – Divestitures and Other Exit Activities

We regularly review our global portfolio of business activities, evaluating changes in the outlook for our served markets and customer priorities, while identifying opportunities for value-creating options in our portfolio. As part of these reviews, we have taken the following strategic actions.

Review of Strategic Alternatives for Fluids Systems Business

We initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the long-term positioning of the Fluids Systems business in June 2023, and in September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business as part of this strategic review. During the second quarter and first half of 2024, we incurred sale process-related costs of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

The ongoing Fluids Systems sale process did not meet the held for sale accounting criteria as of June 30, 2024, and as such, continued to be accounted for as held for use. As of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $210 million of net assets, including $31 million in cash, $12 million of debt, and $160 million of net working capital. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $63 million of accumulated translation losses, which would be reclassified as a charge to income upon a disposition or substantial liquidation of the associated entities.

Exit of Other Operations

In 2023, we made the decision to exit our offshore Australia operations, as well as our stimulation chemicals product line. The Fluids Systems segment operating results for the first half of 2024 includes $0.7 million of charges related to the substantial completion of the exit of our offshore Australia operations. In 2023, we also completed our customer contract in Chile and completed the substantial liquidation of our Chile subsidiary. The operating results for these now exited businesses were not material for 2024 or 2023.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for calculating net income per share:


	Second Quarter			First Half
(In thousands, except per share data)		2024		2023		2024		2023
Numerator
Net income - basic and diluted		$	8,040	$	1,702	$	15,333	$	7,322

Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		85,473		85,761		85,237		87,159
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards		2,153		1,712		2,198		1,853
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		87,626		87,473		87,435		89,012

Net income per common share
Basic		$	0.09	$	0.02	$	0.18	$	0.08
Diluted		$	0.09	$	0.02	$	0.18	$	0.08

We excluded the following weighted-average potential shares from the calculations of diluted net income per share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:


	Second Quarter		First Half
(In thousands)		2024	2023	2024	2023
Stock options and restricted stock awards		373	1,330	433	1,035

Note 4 – Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a securities repurchase program available for repurchases of our common stock. In February 2024, our Board of Directors replaced the prior program with a new repurchase program for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million.

Our repurchase program authorizes us to purchase outstanding shares of our common stock in the open market or as otherwise determined by management, subject to certain limitations under the Amended ABL Facility (as defined in Note 8) and other factors. The repurchase program has no specific term. Repurchases are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Facility. As part of the share repurchase program, our management has been authorized to establish trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of June 30, 2024, we had $50.0 million remaining under the program.

There were no shares of common stock repurchased under the repurchase program during the first half of 2024. During the first half of 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of our common stock under the prior repurchase program for a total cost of $20.1 million.

Note 5 – Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation

During the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved equity-based compensation awards to executive officers and other key employees consisting of an aggregate of 0.7 million restricted stock units, which will vest in equal installments over a three-year period. In addition, non-employee directors received grants of an aggregate of 0.1 million restricted stock awards, which will vest in full on the earlier of the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value was $7.68 per share for the restricted stock units and $7.76 per share for the restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2024, 2.6 million shares remained available for award under the 2015 Plan and 0.4 million shares remained available for award under the 2014 Director Plan.

Also during the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of performance-based cash awards to certain executive officers with an aggregate target value of $2.6 million. Of the $2.6 million, $1.8 million will be settled based on the relative ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of a designated peer group and $0.8 million will be settled based on the Company’s consolidated return on net capital employed (“RONCE”), each measured over a three-year performance period. The cash payout for each executive ranges from 0% to 200% of target. TSR performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s and peer group’s average closing share price for the 30 calendar day period ending May 31, 2027, adjusted for dividends, as compared to the 30 calendar day period

ending May 31, 2024. RONCE performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s average three-year RONCE performance for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The performance-based cash awards are accrued as a liability award over the performance period based on the estimated fair value. The fair value of the TSR performance-based cash awards is remeasured each period using a Monte-Carlo valuation model with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6 – Receivables

Receivables consisted of the following:


(In thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Asset-Based Loan Facility. In October 2017, we entered into a U.S. asset-based revolving credit agreement, which was amended in March 2019 and amended and restated in May 2022 (the “Amended ABL Facility”). The Amended ABL Facility provides financing of up to $175.0 million available for borrowings (inclusive of letters of credit), which can be increased up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Amended ABL Facility has a five-year term expiring May 2027, is based on a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) pricing grid, and includes a mechanism to incorporate a sustainability-linked pricing framework with the consent of the required lenders (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility).

As of June 30, 2024, our total availability under the Amended ABL Facility was $110.4 million, of which $32.0 million was drawn and $4.0 million was used for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $74.4 million.

Borrowing availability under the Amended ABL Facility is calculated based on eligible U.S. accounts receivable, inventory and composite mats included in the rental fleet, net of reserves and subject to limits on certain of the assets included in the borrowing base calculation. To the extent pledged by the borrowers, the borrowing base calculation also includes the amount of eligible pledged cash. The administrative agent may establish reserves in accordance with the Amended ABL Facility, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits in its discretion, which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the Amended ABL Facility.

Under the terms of the Amended ABL Facility, we may elect to borrow at a variable interest rate based on either, (1) the BSBY rate (subject to a floor of zero) or (2) the base rate (subject to a floor of zero), equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) BSBY for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin per annum. The applicable margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum for BSBY borrowings, and 0.50% to 1.00% per annum for base rate borrowings, based on the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter. We are also required to pay a commitment fee equal to (i) 0.375% per annum at any time the average daily unused portion of the commitments is greater than 50% and (ii) 0.25% per annum at any time the average daily unused portion of the commitments is less than 50%.

As of June 30, 2024, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility was 1.50% with respect to BSBY borrowings and 0.50% with respect to base rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for the Amended ABL Facility was 6.9% and the applicable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended ABL Facility was 0.375% per annum.

The Amended ABL Facility is a senior secured obligation of the Company and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries constituting borrowers thereunder, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the personal property and certain real property of the borrowers, including a first priority lien on certain equity interests of direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries of the borrowers and certain equity interests issued by certain foreign subsidiaries of the borrowers.

The Amended ABL Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants that, among other things, and subject to certain specified circumstances and exceptions, restrict or limit the ability of the borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, pay dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock and make other restricted payments, make prepayments on certain indebtedness, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, dispose of property, and change the nature of their business.

The Amended ABL Facility requires compliance with the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters and (ii) while a leverage covenant trigger period (as defined in the Amended ABL Facility) is in effect, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.

The Amended ABL Facility includes customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross-default to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of security interests or invalidity of loan documents, certain ERISA events, unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and change of control.

Other Financing Arrangements. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries maintain local credit arrangements consisting primarily of lines of credit or overdraft facilities which are generally renewed on an annual basis. We utilize local financing arrangements in our foreign operations in order to provide short-term local liquidity needs. In addition, in April 2022, a U.K. subsidiary entered a £7.0 million term loan and a £2.0 million revolving credit facility. Both the term loan and revolving credit facility mature in April 2025 and bear interest at a rate of Sterling Overnight Index Average plus a margin of 3.25% per year. As of June 30, 2024, the interest rate for the U.K. facilities was 8.5%. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments of £350,000 plus interest beginning June 2022 and a £2.8 million payment due at maturity. We also maintain finance leases primarily related to transportation equipment. During the first half of 2024, we entered into $4.0 million of new finance lease liabilities in exchange for leased assets.

In addition, at June 30, 2024, we had $38.4 million in outstanding letters of credit, performance bonds, and other guarantees for which certain of the letters of credit are collateralized by $0.4 million in restricted cash, the majority of which relates to the Fluids Systems segment.

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt. We believe the carrying values of these instruments approximated their fair values at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6.2 million for the first half of 2024, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29%, compared to income taxes of $4.2 million for the first half of 2023, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37%. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2024 and 2023 primarily reflects income taxes associated with our international operations, as the tax provision associated with U.S. income is largely offset by the partial valuation allowance release associated with previously unbenefited U.S. net operating losses.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in litigation and other claims from private party actions, as well as judicial and administrative proceedings involving governmental authorities at the federal, state, and local levels. While the outcome of litigation or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that any loss resulting from such litigation or other proceedings, in excess of any amounts accrued or covered by insurance, will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The first half of 2024 includes a $0.9 million gain related to the final insurance settlement associated with Hurricane Ida in August 2021, as well as a $0.6 million gain related to a legal settlement.

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

The following discussion of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our second quarter represents the three-month period ended June 30 and our first half represents the six-month period ended June 30. Unless otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in U.S. dollars. The reference to a “Note” herein refers to the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

Business Overview

Newpark Resources, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a geographically diversified supplier providing environmentally-sensitive products, as well as rentals and services to customers across multiple industries. We currently operate our business through two reportable segments: Industrial Solutions and Fluids Systems, as described further below.

Over much of the past decade, while the Fluids Systems segment has been the primary driver of revenues, the Industrial Solutions segment has been the primary driver of operating income, cash flows, and financial returns. Consequently, our growth investments in recent years have been heavily concentrated in the Industrial Solutions segment. The relative revenues, operating income, and capital expenditures for the Industrial Solutions and Fluids Systems segments for the first half of 2024 are as follows (amounts in millions):

* See Note 12 for certain items included in the Fluids Systems and Industrial Solutions segment operating results.

We initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the Fluids Systems business in June 2023, and in September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for the Fluids Systems business as part of this strategic review. While the sale process is ongoing, we anticipate substantially completing the process in the third quarter of 2024, although it is not certain that any such transaction will be consummated on that timeline or at all. As part of the strategic review, we will continue to evaluate under-performing areas within our business and anticipate additional actions may be necessary to optimize our operational footprint and invested capital within the Fluids Systems segment. If we successfully complete the process to substantially exit the Fluids Systems segment, our remaining operations will primarily reflect a specialty rental and service business, serving the utilities sector and other critical infrastructure markets. See further information below.

2024 Priorities

The following priorities have been established for 2024:

•Accelerate Industrial Solutions Growth – We plan to continue to prioritize investment capital in the growth of our Industrial Solutions business, where over the past several years, we have seen the strong market adoption of our specialty rental products and differentiated service offering. During the first half of 2024, over 90% of our capital expenditures were directed to the Industrial Solutions segment.

•Drive Operational Efficiency – We plan to maintain our focus on efficiency improvements and operating cost optimization across every aspect of our global footprint. With a simplified business model and enhanced focus on balance sheet optimization, we seek to improve returns and consistency in cash flow generation. In addition, we continue to evaluate and execute actions intended to streamline the organization and our cost structure, driving improvements in profitability. During the first half of 2024, we continued to take actions to streamline our overhead structure across both segments and the corporate office, generating approximately $3 million in annual cost savings, while incurring $1.4 million of severance costs.

•Prioritize Return of Capital – We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet, using excess cash generation to reduce our debt and return value to our shareholders. In February 2024, our Board of Directors replaced our existing share repurchase program with a new program for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million.

Segment Overview

Industrial Solutions – Our Industrial Solutions segment, which generated 33% of our consolidated revenues and 78% of our segment-level operating income for the first half of 2024, provides temporary worksite access solutions, including the rental of our manufactured recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, E&P, pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. We also sell our manufactured recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market.

The expansion of our business within the power transmission and other industrial markets remains a strategic priority for us due to the relative stability of such markets compared to E&P, as well as the magnitude of growth opportunity in these markets, including the potential positive impact from the energy transition and future legislation and regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. We expect customer activity, particularly in the power transmission sector, will remain robust in the coming years, driven in part by the impacts of the U.S. energy transition and the increasing investment in grid reliance initiatives.

Fluids Systems – Our Fluids Systems segment, which generated 67% of our consolidated revenues and 22% of our segment-level operating income for the first half of 2024, provides drilling and completion fluids products and related technical services to customers for oil, natural gas, and geothermal projects primarily in EMEA and North America, as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific. Over the past few years, our primary focus within Fluids Systems has been the transformation into a more agile and simplified business focused on key markets, while monetizing assets in underperforming or sub-scale markets and reducing our invested capital to drive improvements in segment profitability and returns.

Our Fluids Systems operating results remain dependent on oil and natural gas drilling activity levels in the markets we serve and the nature of the drilling operations, which governs the revenue potential of each well. Drilling activity levels depend on a variety of factors, including oil and natural gas commodity pricing, inventory levels, product demand, and regulatory restrictions. Oil and natural gas prices and activity are cyclical and volatile, and this market volatility has a significant impact on our Fluids Systems operating results.

Rig count data remains the most widely accepted indicator of drilling activity. Average North American rig count data for the second quarter and first half of 2024 as compared to the same periods of 2023 is as follows:


	Second Quarter		2024 vs 2023
	2024	2023	Count	%
U.S. Rig Count	603	719	(116)	(16)	%
Canada Rig Count	136	117	19	16	%
North America Rig Count	739	836	(97)	(12)	%

	First Half		2024 vs 2023
	2024	2023	Count	%
U.S. Rig Count	613	740	(127)	(17)	%
Canada Rig Count	172	169	3	2	%
North America Rig Count	785	909	(124)	(14)	%

In 2023, market activity in the U.S. steadily declined, ending the year at 622 active rigs, down 20% from the end of 2022. Despite continued strength in oil prices, the 2024 outlook for U.S. market activity generally remains below the 2023 average level, as many of our customers maintain strong capital discipline and prioritize cash flow generation over growth.

Outside of North America, drilling activity is generally more stable as this drilling activity is based on longer-term economic projections and multi-year drilling programs, which typically reduces the impact of short-term changes in commodity prices on overall drilling activity. Further, geopolitical events in recent years are causing several markets to increase drilling activity levels, to help ensure reliable energy supply in the coming years, while reducing their dependency on Russia-sourced oil and natural gas. Consequently, the outlook for several markets within the EMEA region remains strong, with growth in activity expected over the next few years.

2023 Strategic Actions

The following strategic actions were taken in 2023.

Review of Strategic Alternatives for Fluids Systems Business

As described above, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business in September 2023. During the second quarter and first half of 2024, we incurred sale process-related costs of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The ongoing Fluids Systems sale process did not meet the held for sale accounting criteria as of June 30, 2024, and as such, continued to be accounted for as held for use. As of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $210 million of net assets, including $31 million in cash, $12 million of debt, and $160 million of net working capital. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $63 million of accumulated translation losses which would be reclassified as a charge to income upon a disposition or substantial liquidation of the associated entities.

As we continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for our Fluids Systems portfolio, we may incur future charges, including a loss on a potential transaction related to these efforts or potential asset impairments, which may negatively impact our future results.

Revenues

Revenues decreased 2% to $179.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $183.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. This $4.2 million decrease in revenues includes a $5.8 million (5%) decrease in North America, comprised of a $24.5 million decrease in the Fluids Systems segment partially offset by a $18.7 million increase in the Industrial Solutions segment. In our Fluids Systems segment, revenues from our North America operations decreased primarily due to the effect of lower U.S. market share and reduced U.S. market activity. In our Industrial Solutions segment, revenues from our North America operations increased primarily due to higher product sales, which typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer projects and orders. Revenues from our Rest of World operations increased by $1.5 million (2%), driven by higher Fluids Systems activity in Europe and Africa. Additional information regarding the change in revenues is provided within the operating segment results below.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased 7% to $140.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $150.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. This $10.1 million decrease in cost of revenues was primarily driven by the 2% decrease in revenues described above, as well as the impact of segment revenue mix, with Industrial Solutions representing a higher proportion of revenues for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher strategic planning project costs partially offset by lower personnel expense resulting from efforts to streamline the overhead structure. The second quarter of 2024 includes $1.9 million related to the Fluids Systems sale process while the second quarter of 2023 included $0.8 million primarily related to strategic planning projects. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 14.7% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 14.0% for the second quarter of 2023.

Other operating income, net

Other operating (income) loss, net, includes gains and losses on sales of assets.

Impairments and Other Charges

During the second quarter of 2023, $2.8 million of non-cash charges were included in the Fluids Systems segment, including $1.6 million to reduce the carrying values of certain inventory related to the exit of our stimulation chemicals product line to their net realizable value, and $1.2 million of total charges to reduce the carrying values of certain offshore Australia inventory to their net realizable value as well as impairments related to the long-lived assets previously used in this now exited business.

Foreign currency exchange

Foreign currency exchange was a $0.1 million loss for the second quarter of 2024 compared to a $0.1 million gain for the second quarter of 2023 and reflects the impact of currency translation on assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in average debt outstanding.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29%, compared to income taxes of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, reflecting an effective tax rate of 56%. The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 primarily reflects income taxes associated with our international operations, as the tax provision associated with U.S. income is largely offset by the partial valuation allowance release associated with previously unbenefited U.S. net operating losses.

Revenues

Total revenues for this segment consisted of the following:


	Second Quarter				2024 vs 2023
(In thousands)	2024		2023		$		%
United States	$	32,594	$	59,955	$	(27,361)	(46)	%
Canada	13,332		10,399		2,933		28	%
Total North America	45,926		70,354		(24,428)		(35)	%

EMEA	61,774		60,913		861		1	%
Other	4,518		3,914		604		15	%
Total Rest of World	66,292		64,827		1,465		2	%

Total Fluids Systems revenues	$	112,218	$	135,181	$	(22,963)	(17)	%

North America revenues decreased 35% to $45.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $70.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily related to a decline in U.S. as a result of lower U.S. market share and reduced U.S. market activity. Canada revenues increased $2.9 million driven primarily by an increase in Canada rig count as well as elevated product consumption per rig, partially offset by a slight decrease in market share, which typically fluctuates based on the mix and timing of projects.

Rest of World revenues increased 2% to $66.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $64.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher customer activity and elevated product consumption per rig in Europe and Africa.

Operating income

The Fluids Systems segment generated operating income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating income primarily reflects the impact of charges recorded in the respective periods. The second quarter of 2024 segment operating income includes $1.1 million in facility exit costs, transaction expenses related to the Fluids Systems segment sale process, and severance costs, while the second quarter of 2023 segment operating income included $5.1 million in charges primarily related to impairments, facility exit costs, and severance costs. The remaining $3.7 million reduction in operating income reflected the effect of lower revenues, partially offset by improved regional mix (higher international revenues, lower U.S. revenues) and improvements in customer pricing, particularly within the international markets, as well as cost reductions within the U.S. business.

Industrial Solutions

Revenues

Total revenues for this segment consisted of the following:


	Second Quarter				2024 vs 2023
(In thousands)	2024		2023		$		%
Rental and service revenues	$	36,396	$	39,949	$	(3,553)	(9)	%
Product sales revenues	30,395		8,126		22,269		274	%
Total Industrial Solutions revenues	$	66,791	$	48,075	$	18,716	39	%

Rental and service revenues decreased for the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting a $5.5 million decline in service revenues, attributable to the timing and mix of service included within customer rental projects, and we expect this trend to continue. This decline was partially offset by a $1.9 million (9%) increase in rental revenues, driven primarily by higher volume. Product sales revenues increased for the second quarter of 2024, as sales volumes typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer projects and orders. The majority of the second quarter 2024 and 2023 revenues are derived from customers in the power transmission sector.

Operating income

The Industrial Solutions segment generated operating income of $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, the increase being primarily attributable to the higher product sales revenues, as well as efficiencies in the rental and manufacturing operations.

Corporate Office

Corporate office expenses decreased $0.4 million to $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel expense resulting from efforts to streamline the overhead structure partially offset by higher performance-based incentives. In addition, the second quarter of 2024 includes $1.6 million related to the Fluids Systems sale process, while the second quarter of 2023 included $0.9 million of severance expense associated with second quarter 2023 restructuring actions as well as $0.8 million related to strategic planning projects.

Revenues

Revenues decreased 9% to $348.1 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $383.3 million for the first half of 2023. This $35.2 million decrease in revenues includes a $49.3 million (19%) decrease in North America, comprised of a $61.0 million decrease in the Fluids Systems segment partially offset by a $11.7 million increase in the Industrial Solutions segment. In our Fluids Systems segment, revenues from our North America operations decreased primarily due to the effect of lower U.S. market share and reduced U.S. market activity. In our Industrial Solutions segment, revenues from our North America operations increased primarily due to higher product sales, which typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer projects and orders. Revenues from our Rest of World operations increased by $14.1 million (11%), driven by higher Fluids Systems activity in Europe and Africa. Additional information regarding the change in revenues is provided within the operating segment results below.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased 13% to $274.7 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $314.9 million for the first half of 2023. This $40.2 million decrease in cost of revenues was primarily driven by the 9% decrease in revenues described above, as well as the impact of segment revenue mix, with Industrial Solutions representing a higher proportion of revenues for the first half of 2024, as compared to the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million to $50.7 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $51.0 million for the first half of 2023. The first half of 2024 includes $4.1 million related to the Fluids Systems sale process while the first half of 2023 included $1.7 million of costs related to strategic planning projects. The remaining $2.7 million decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel expense resulting from efforts to streamline the overhead structure partially offset by higher strategic planning project costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was 14.6% for the first half of 2024 compared to 13.3% for the first half of 2023.

Other operating income, net

The first half of 2024 includes a $0.9 million gain related to the final insurance settlement associated with Hurricane Ida in August 2021, which caused damage to our facilities in Fourchon, Louisiana, as well as a $0.6 million gain related to a legal settlement in the Industrial Solutions segment. Other operating (income) loss, net, also includes gains and losses on sales of assets.

Impairments and Other Charges

The Fluids Systems segment included $2.8 million of non-cash charges in the first half of 2023 for inventory write-downs and asset impairments.

Foreign currency exchange

Foreign currency exchange was a $0.1 million loss for the first half of 2024 compared to a $0.2 million loss for the first half of 2023 and reflects the impact of currency translation on assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense was $3.5 million for the first half of 2024 compared to $4.2 million for the first half of 2023. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in average debt outstanding.

Provision for income taxes

Total Fluids Systems revenues	$	232,358	$	279,355	$	(46,997)	(17)	%

North America revenues decreased 38% to $97.6 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $158.6 million for the first half of 2023, primarily related to a decline in U.S. as a result of lower U.S. market share and reduced U.S. market activity. Canada revenues increased $4.8 million driven primarily by elevated product consumption per rig.

Rest of World revenues increased 12% to $134.7 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $120.7 million for the first half of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher customer activity and elevated product consumption per rig in Europe and Africa.

Operating income

The Fluids Systems segment generated operating income of $9.2 million for the first half of 2024 compared to $5.4 million for the first half of 2023. The first half of 2024 segment operating income includes $1.9 million in facility exit costs, transaction expenses related to the Fluids Systems segment sale process, and severance costs, partially offset by a $0.8 million gain on insurance recovery, while the first half of 2023 included $8.3 million in total charges including $5.5 million of net facility exit costs in the Gulf of Mexico and severance costs, as well as $2.8 million of impairments and other charges. The remaining $3.4 million reduction in operating income reflected the effect of lower revenues, partially offset by the combined effects of improved regional mix (higher international revenues, lower U.S. revenues) and improvements in customer pricing, particularly within the international markets, as well as cost reductions within the U.S. business.

Industrial Solutions

Revenues

Total revenues for this segment consisted of the following:


	First Half				2024 vs 2023
(In thousands)	2024		2023		$		%
Rental and service revenues	$	71,577	$	76,309	$	(4,732)	(6)	%
Product sales revenues	44,181		27,622		16,559		60	%
Total Industrial Solutions revenues	$	115,758	$	103,931	$	11,827	11	%

Rental and service revenues decreased for the first half of 2024, primarily reflecting a $6.8 million decline in service revenues, attributable to the timing and mix of service included within customer rental projects. This decline was partially offset by a $2.0 million (5%) increase in rental revenues, driven primarily by higher volume. Product sales revenues increased for the first half of 2024, and typically fluctuate based on the timing of customer projects and orders. The majority of the first half 2024 and 2023 revenues are derived from customers in the power transmission sector.

Operating income

The Industrial Solutions segment generated operating income of $32.3 million for the first half of 2024 compared to $27.3 million for the first half of 2023, the increase being primarily attributable to the higher product sales revenues, as well as higher profitability driven by efficiencies in rental and manufacturing operations.

Corporate Office

Corporate office expenses decreased $0.3 million to $16.4 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $16.7 million for the first half of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel expense resulting from efforts to streamline the overhead structure, partially offset by higher strategic planning project costs as well as higher performance-based incentives. The first half of 2024 includes $3.5 million related to the Fluids Systems sale process, while the first half of 2023 included $1.7 million of costs related to strategic planning projects as well as $0.9 million of severance expense associated with second quarter 2023 restructuring actions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.5 million for the first half of 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $36.8 million for the first half of 2023. During the first half of 2024, net income adjusted for non-cash items provided cash of $30.5 million and changes in working capital provided cash of $9.1 million. Operating cash flow for the first half of 2023 benefited from approximately $13.6 million related to the wind down of working capital associated with certain fourth quarter 2022 divestiture transactions.

Net cash used in investing activities was $17.0 million for the first half of 2024, including $20.5 million in capital expenditures partially offset by $2.0 million in proceeds from the sale of assets, which includes the sale of used mats from our Industrial Solutions rental fleet. The substantial majority of our capital expenditures for the first half of 2024 were directed to expanding our Industrial Solutions segment rental fleet.

Net cash used in financing activities was $25.0 million for the first half of 2024, and primarily relates to net payments on our Amended ABL Facility and other financing arrangements.

Substantially all our $35.1 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2024 resides in our international Fluids Systems subsidiaries. We primarily manage our liquidity utilizing availability under our Amended ABL Facility and other existing financing arrangements. Under our Amended ABL Facility, we manage daily cash requirements by utilizing borrowings or repayments under this revolving credit facility, while maintaining minimal cash on hand in the U.S.

We expect total availability under the Amended ABL Facility to fluctuate directionally based on the level of eligible U.S. accounts receivable, inventory, and composite mats included in the rental fleet. We expect the projected availability under our Amended ABL Facility and other existing financing arrangements, cash generated by operations, and available cash on-hand in our international subsidiaries to be adequate to fund our current operations during the next 12 months.

We anticipate that our near-term working capital requirements for our operations will generally fluctuate directionally with revenues. We expect capital expenditures in 2024 to be approximately $30 million to $40 million, with spending heavily focused on the expansion of our mat rental fleet. We also expect to return value to our shareholders, utilizing excess cash generation to fund additional share repurchases upon completion of the Fluids Systems sale process. In addition, if we are successful in completing the process to substantially exit the Fluids Systems business, we anticipate the proceeds to be used to repay a significant portion of our existing outstanding debt, providing additional liquidity to fund our long-term strategic initiatives.

Our capitalization is as follows:


(In thousands)	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Amended ABL Facility	32,000			45,000
Other debt	26,015			30,093

amount of eligible pledged cash. The administrative agent may establish reserves in accordance with the Amended ABL Facility, in part based on appraisals of the asset base, and other limits in its discretion, which could reduce the amounts otherwise available under the Amended ABL Facility.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include estimated cash flows and fair values used for impairments of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe to be reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

For additional discussion of our critical accounting estimates and policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our critical accounting estimates and policies have not materially changed since December 31, 2023.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A discussion of our primary market risk exposure in financial instruments is presented below.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2024, we had total principal amounts outstanding under financing arrangements of $58.0 million, including $32.0 million of borrowings under our Amended ABL Facility, $5.6 million of borrowings under a U.K. term loan and credit facility, and $2.0 million under certain other international credit facilities, which are subject to variable interest rates as determined by the respective debt agreements. The weighted average interest rates at June 30, 2024 for the Amended ABL Facility, U.K. debt, and other international credit facilities was 6.9%, 8.5%, and 8.7%, respectively. Based on the balance of variable rate debt at June 30, 2024, a 100 basis-point increase in short-term interest rates would have increased annual pre-tax interest expense by $0.4 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our principal foreign operations are conducted in certain areas of EMEA, Canada, and Asia Pacific. We have foreign currency exchange risks associated with these operations, which are conducted principally in the foreign currency of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including European euros, Canadian dollars, Kuwaiti dinar, Algerian dinar, Romanian new leu, British pounds, and Australian dollars. Historically, we have not used off-balance sheet financial hedging instruments to manage foreign currency risks when we enter into a transaction denominated in a currency other than our local currencies.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1

NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Subject to the conditions described in this agreement (the “Award Agreement”) and in the Second Amended and Restated Newpark Resources, Inc. 2015 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Newpark Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the below individual (the “Participant”), the Restricted Stock Units set forth below (this “Award” or the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the date of grant set forth below (the “Date of Grant”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.


Participant Name						Date of Grant:
and Address:						Number of Restricted Stock Units:

(b)The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account for the Participant, and such account shall be credited with the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant. The Restricted Stock Unit account shall be credited with any securities or other property (including cash dividends) declared and distributed during the Restriction Period with respect to one Share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit that has not otherwise been paid or forfeited (“Notional Dividends”). Any such property shall be subject to the same vesting schedule as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate and references herein to a Restricted Stock Unit shall mean and include all Notional Dividends with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit.

2.Vesting.

(a)Vesting Schedule. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the following schedule:

[ _____________ ]

The term “Restriction Period” refers to the period, applicable to a given Restricted Stock Unit, from the Date of Grant until that Restricted Stock Unit has become vested and the restrictions thereon have lapsed, whether pursuant to this Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) below. References to the end of the Restriction Period or to times following the Restriction Period shall refer to the time of, or the time following, as the case may be, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit and the

lapse of the restrictions thereon, and shall not be construed to refer to the event of or the period following the forfeiture of a Restricted Stock Unit.

(b)Vesting upon a Qualifying Termination in a Change in Control Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in any written agreement with the Participant or under the terms of any severance plan or program in which the Participant is eligible for severance, involuntary termination or substantially similar benefits, including the Newpark Resources, Inc. Change in Control Plan (the “CIC Plan”), in the event of the Participant’s Qualifying Termination during the Change in Control Period (each as defined in the CIC Plan), any Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant which remain unvested as of such Qualifying Termination shall immediately become vested.

(c)Vesting upon Qualifying Retirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in a written agreement with the Participant or under the terms of any severance plan or program in which the Participant is eligible for severance, involuntary termination or substantially similar benefits, if a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of a Qualifying Retirement, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at that time shall not be forfeited, but shall continue to vest as if the Participant’s employment had continued uninterrupted; provided, however, that if the Participant should die after his Qualifying Retirement, the Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant which remain unvested at such time shall immediately become vested. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Qualifying Retirement” shall mean a voluntary termination of employment after accruing 70 “points” based on the sum of (i) the Participant’s age and (ii) the Participant’s full years of continued service with the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to the following terms: (1) the Participant must have attained at least age 60, (2) “points” are the sum of the Participant’s age in whole years and full years of continued service as a full-time or part-time employee, (3) the Participant must provide the Compensation Committee written notice of his or her planned retirement date at least six (6) months in advance thereof, unless such notice is waived or reduced by the Compensation Committee, and (4) the Participant must execute and deliver to the Company a release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, not revoke such release, and such release must become binding and irrevocable no earlier than the date of termination and no later than the settlement date for any Restricted Stock Units for which such vesting is accelerated. Continued service is defined as the most recent uninterrupted period of full-time or part-time service with the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified by the Compensation Committee, service with an entity acquired by the Company shall be considered for this purpose only following the effective date of the acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to a Qualifying Retirement, the Participant commences employment with, or otherwise provides services as a consultant or independent contractor to, a competitor of the Company (“Commencement of Competing Service”), all Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award Agreement, other than those that vested and have been settled in full prior to the Commencement of Competing Service, shall be forfeited and the Participant shall be deemed not to have incurred a Qualifying Retirement with respect to Restricted Stock Units.

(d)Vesting Upon Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, any of the Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant which remain unvested at such time shall immediately become vested.

3.Settlement of Award. Settlement of the vested Restricted Stock Units, excluding any Notional Dividends, shall be made in Shares of Common Stock and such Shares shall be free of all

restrictions hereunder, except for applicable federal securities laws restrictions. Notional Dividends credited to the Restricted Stock Unit account with respect to Restricted Stock Units that vest shall be settled in-kind, or, in the discretion of the Committee, paid in cash. All settlements and payments hereunder shall be made within thirty (30) days after the vesting date of the Restricted Stock Units. Pending the payment or delivery of amounts, Shares or other property hereunder, the Company’s obligation hereunder shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured general obligation of the Company.

4.Forfeiture. Subject to Section 14 below, in the event of the termination of the Participant’s employment during the Restriction Period by either the Company or by the Participant for any reason other than the Participant’s Qualifying Termination in a Change in Control Period, Qualifying Retirement or as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at that time shall immediately be forfeited. Furthermore, in the case of any Commencement of Competing Service subsequent to a Qualifying Retirement, the Participant shall forfeit Restricted Stock Units (and associated Notional Dividends) as provided in Section 2(c).

5.Restrictions on Transfer. Neither this Award, this Award Agreement nor the Restricted Stock Units may be assigned, pledged, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant; provided, however, that the designation of a beneficiary pursuant to the Plan shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the Participant. Any purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance of the Restricted Stock Units, regardless of by whom initiated or attempted, shall be void and unenforceable against the Company. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance of the Restricted Stock Units is effected by operation of law, court order or otherwise, the affected Restricted Stock Units shall remain subject to the risk of forfeiture, vesting requirement and all other terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. In the case of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant’s vested rights under this Award Agreement may be exercised and enforced by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

6.Reorganization of the Company. The existence of this Award Agreement shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business; any merger or consolidation of the Company; any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units or the rights of such Common Stock; the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

7.Changes in Capitalization. In the event that at any time after the Date of Grant the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate change, or any other increase, decrease or change in the Common Stock without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company including stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or the like, the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units which have not vested under this Award Agreement, subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, shall automatically be proportionately adjusted.

8.Certain Restrictions. By executing this Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that he will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements and

execute such documents as the Company may reasonably request in order to comply with the securities law or any other applicable laws, rules or regulations, or with this Award Agreement or the terms of the Plan. The Company may from time to time impose such conditions on the transfer of the Shares issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that any transfers of such Shares will satisfy the applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws. Such conditions may include, without limitation, the partial or complete suspension of the right to transfer such Shares until the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

9.Amendment and Termination. This Award Agreement may not be terminated by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee at any time without the written consent of the Participant. No amendment or termination of the Plan will adversely affect the rights and privileges of the Participant under the Award Agreement or to the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder without the consent of the Participant.

10.No Guarantee of Employment. Neither this Award Agreement nor the award of Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby shall confer upon the Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment with the Company nor shall it interfere in any way with the right the Company would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment at any time.

11.Taxes and Withholdings.

(a)Tax Consequences. The granting, vesting and/or payments of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock Units, including any Notional Dividends, may trigger tax liability. The Participant agrees that he shall be solely responsible for all tax liability arising from the Restricted Stock Units, including the Notional Dividends. The Participant has been advised to seek independent legal advice to discuss any tax implications which may arise in connection with the Restricted Stock Units, and has either obtained such advice or waived its right to obtain such advice.

(b)Withholding. The Participant shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising from the Restricted Stock Units and/or any Notional Dividends. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company will not deliver the Shares or make any other payment hereunder until it is satisfied that appropriate arrangements have been made to satisfy any tax obligation under this Award Agreement or the Plan and agrees to make appropriate arrangements suitable to the Company for satisfaction of all tax withholding obligations. Further, the Participant hereby agrees and grants to the Company the right to withhold from any payments or amounts of compensation, payable in cash or otherwise, in order to meet any tax withholding obligations under this Award Agreement or the Plan. As such, if the Company requests that the Participant take any action required to effect any action described in this Section 11 and to satisfy the tax withholding obligation pursuant to this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly take any such action.

12.No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. The Company, Board of Directors and Compensation Committee make no commitment or guarantee to the Participant that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person eligible for benefits under this Award Agreement and assumes no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to the Participant.

13.Severability. In the event that any provision of this Award Agreement is, becomes or is deemed to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, or would disqualify the Plan or this Award

Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended as necessary to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or this Award Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, the Participant or this Award Agreement, and the remainder of this Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

14.Terms of the Plan Control. This Award Agreement and the underlying Award are made pursuant to the Plan. The terms of the Plan, as amended from time to time and interpreted and applied by the Compensation Committee, shall govern and take precedence in the event of any conflict with the terms of this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a participant in the Newpark Resources, Inc. U.S. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan, on the one hand, and the terms and provisions of the Severance Plan on the other hand, the terms of the Severance Plan shall control.

15.Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with (excluding any conflict or choice of law provisions of) the laws of the State of Delaware to the extent federal law does not supersede and preempt Delaware law.

16.Consent to Electronic Delivery; Electronic Signature. Except as otherwise prohibited by law, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format, the Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to accept electronic delivery of any documents that the Company may be required to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectuses supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms of communications) in connection with this and any other Award made or offered by the Company. Electronic delivery may be via a Company electronic mail system or by reference to a location on a Company intranet to which the Participant has access. The Participant hereby consents to any and all procedures the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents that the Company may be required to deliver, and agrees that his electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his manual signature.

17.Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award Agreement shall be subject to any recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from time to time, to the extent any such policy is applicable to the Participant and to such compensation including, but not limited to, the Newpark Resources, Inc. Clawback Policy, designed to comply with the requirements of Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as any recoupment provisions required under applicable law. For purposes of the foregoing, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes (x) the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, any Shares of Common Stock issued in settlement thereof, and other amounts acquired under this Award Agreement to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Restricted Stock Units, Shares and/or other amounts to the Company and (y) the Company’s recovery of any covered compensation through any method of recovery that the Company deems appropriate, including without limitation by reducing any amount that is or may become payable to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to comply with any request or demand for repayment by any affiliate of the Company in order to comply with such policies or applicable law. To the extent that the terms of this Award Agreement and any Company recoupment policy conflict, the terms of the recoupment policy shall prevail.

18.Section 409A. It is intended that the provisions of this Award Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of this Award Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. If, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A, (i) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time), and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A, then the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date pursuant to this Award Agreement but shall instead pay it without interest, on the first business day after such six-month period, or if earlier, upon the Participant’s death. The Company reserves the right to make amendments to this Award Agreement as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A.

19.Data Authorization. Pursuant to applicable data protection laws, the Participant’s personal data will be collected and used as necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal data may affect the Participant’s participation in the Plan. As such, the Participant voluntarily acknowledges and consents (where required under applicable law) to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described herein.

The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Company and its Subsidiaries may transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Please note these entities may be located in the European Economic Area, the United States or elsewhere in the world. The Participant hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) these parties to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant’s rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws.

(y)“TSR Vesting Percentage” means:

i.if the Company TSR Percentile is less than the Threshold TSR Percentile, zero percent (0%);

ii.if the Company TSR Percentile is at least equal to the Threshold TSR Percentile, but less than the Target TSR Percentile, the sum of (A) fifty percent (50%) and (B) the percentage derived by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Company TSR Percentile over the Threshold TSR Percentile by 2;

All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Our balance sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information, see Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We currently operate our business through two reportable segments: Fluids Systems and Industrial Solutions. •Our Fluids Systems segment provides drilling and completion fluids products and related technical services to customers for oil, natural gas, and geothermal projects primarily in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and North America, as well as certain countries in Asia Pacific. Over the past few years, our primary focus within the Fluids Systems segment has been the transformation into a more agile and simplified business focused on key markets, while monetizing assets in underperforming or sub-scale markets and reducing our invested capital, particularly in the U.S. In 2023, we exited our stimulation chemicals product line, certain operations for offshore Australia, and our operations in Chile. In September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business. See Note 2 for additional information. •Our Industrial Solutions segment provides temporary worksite access solutions, including the rental of our recyclable composite matting systems, along with related site construction and services to customers in various markets including power transmission, oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”), pipeline, renewable energy, petrochemical, construction and other industries, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. We also sell our manufactured recyclable composite mats to customers around the world, with power transmission being the primary end-market. New Accounting Pronouncements Standards Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as well as other segment items, extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarify the applicability to single reportable segment entities, permit more than one measure of profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. This guidance will be effective for us for the year ending December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will result in expanded reportable segment disclosures. Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. These requirements are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will impact our income tax disclosures.

Divestitures and Other Exit Activities	Jun. 30, 2024
Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Divestitures and Other Exit Activities	Divestitures and Other Exit Activities We regularly review our global portfolio of business activities, evaluating changes in the outlook for our served markets and customer priorities, while identifying opportunities for value-creating options in our portfolio. As part of these reviews, we have taken the following strategic actions. Review of Strategic Alternatives for Fluids Systems Business We initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the long-term positioning of the Fluids Systems business in June 2023, and in September 2023, we launched a formal sale process for substantially all the Fluids Systems business as part of this strategic review. During the second quarter and first half of 2024, we incurred sale process-related costs of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The ongoing Fluids Systems sale process did not meet the held for sale accounting criteria as of June 30, 2024, and as such, continued to be accounted for as held for use. As of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $210 million of net assets, including $31 million in cash, $12 million of debt, and $160 million of net working capital. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, the Fluids Systems business had approximately $63 million of accumulated translation losses, which would be reclassified as a charge to income upon a disposition or substantial liquidation of the associated entities. Exit of Other Operations In 2023, we made the decision to exit our offshore Australia operations, as well as our stimulation chemicals product line. The Fluids Systems segment operating results for the first half of 2024 includes $0.7 million of charges related to the substantial completion of the exit of our offshore Australia operations. In 2023, we also completed our customer contract in Chile and completed the substantial liquidation of our Chile subsidiary. The operating results for these now exited businesses were not material for 2024 or 2023.

Equity [Abstract]
Repurchase Program	Repurchase Program Our Board of Directors has authorized a securities repurchase program available for repurchases of our common stock. In February 2024, our Board of Directors replaced the prior program with a new repurchase program for repurchases of common stock up to $50.0 million. Our repurchase program authorizes us to purchase outstanding shares of our common stock in the open market or as otherwise determined by management, subject to certain limitations under the Amended ABL Facility (as defined in Note 8) and other factors. The repurchase program has no specific term. Repurchases are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, available cash on hand, and borrowings under our Amended ABL Facility. As part of the share repurchase program, our management has been authorized to establish trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of June 30, 2024, we had $50.0 million remaining under the program. There were no shares of common stock repurchased under the repurchase program during the first half of 2024. During the first half of 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of our common stock under the prior repurchase program for a total cost of $20.1 million.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation	Stock-Based and Other Long-Term Incentive Compensation During the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved equity-based compensation awards to executive officers and other key employees consisting of an aggregate of 0.7 million restricted stock units, which will vest in equal installments over a three-year period. In addition, non-employee directors received grants of an aggregate of 0.1 million restricted stock awards, which will vest in full on the earlier of the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date or the first anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value was $7.68 per share for the restricted stock units and $7.76 per share for the restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2024, 2.6 million shares remained available for award under the 2015 Plan and 0.4 million shares remained available for award under the 2014 Director Plan. Also during the second quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of performance-based cash awards to certain executive officers with an aggregate target value of $2.6 million. Of the $2.6 million, $1.8 million will be settled based on the relative ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of a designated peer group and $0.8 million will be settled based on the Company’s consolidated return on net capital employed (“RONCE”), each measured over a three-year performance period. The cash payout for each executive ranges from 0% to 200% of target. TSR performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s and peer group’s average closing share price for the 30 calendar day period ending May 31, 2027, adjusted for dividends, as compared to the 30 calendar day period ending May 31, 2024. RONCE performance for the 2024 grants will be determined based upon the Company’s average three-year RONCE performance for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The performance-based cash awards are accrued as a liability award over the performance period based on the estimated fair value. The fair value of the TSR performance-based cash awards is remeasured each period using a Monte-Carlo valuation model with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2024 and 2023 primarily reflects income taxes associated with our international operations, as the tax provision associated with U.S. income is largely offset by the partial valuation allowance release associated with previously unbenefited U.S. net operating losses.
