NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Business and Basis of Presentation
RigNet, Inc. (the Company or RigNet) provides remote communication services for the oil and gas industry through a controlled and managed Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) global network, enabling drilling contractors, oil companies and oilfield service companies to communicate more effectively. The Company provides its customers with voice, fax, video and data services in real-time between remote sites and home offices throughout the world, while the Company manages and operates the infrastructure from its land-based Network Operations Center.
The Company’s corporate offices are located in Houston, Texas. The Company serves the owners and operators of offshore drilling rigs and production facilities, land rigs, remote offices and supply bases in approximately 30 countries including the United States, Brazil, Norway, Great Britain, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Australia.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information becomes available and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from estimates. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011.
Note 2 — Business and Credit Concentrations
The Company is exposed to various business and credit risks including interest rate, foreign currency, credit and liquidity risks.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has a significant interest-bearing liability with a variable interest rate which is priced monthly. The Company’s variable borrowing rate is tied to LIBOR and prime resulting in interest rate risk (see Note 5 —Long-Term Debt). The Company does not currently use financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk exposure, but evaluates this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has exposure to foreign currency risk as a portion of the Company’s activities are conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the currencies that could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company’s historical experience with exchange rates for these currencies has been relatively stable. Consequently, the Company does not use financial instruments to hedge this risk, but evaluates it on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. Foreign currency translations are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Transactional foreign currency adjustments are reported as other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Credit Risk
Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas industry. The Company mitigates the risk of financial loss from defaults through defined collection terms in each contract or service agreement and periodic evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. The evaluations include a review of customer credit reports and past transaction history with the customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Liquidity Risk
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions and has not experienced losses associated with these accounts during 2011 or 2010. Liquidity risk is managed by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities (see Note 5 — Long-Term Debt).
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Preferred Stock
Initial Public Offering
On December 20, 2010, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) consisting of 5,000,000 shares of common stock priced at $12.00 per share. The total shares sold in the offering consisted of 1,666,666 shares sold by selling stockholders and 3,333,334 shares issued and sold by the Company.
As a result of the IPO, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $35.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.8 million and additional offering related expenses of $1.8 million, of which $0.8 million was paid during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 with the balance paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011. From these net proceeds, the Company used $0.2 million to compensate our key employees, including executive officers and $0.2 million was used to pay accrued and unpaid dividends on preferred shares that were converted in connection with the IPO.
On January 6, 2011, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their over-allotment option (Over-Allotment) for the sale of 750,000 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share. The total shares sold in the Over-Allotment included 250,000 common shares sold by selling stockholders and 500,000 common shares issued and sold by the Company. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of shares in the Over-Allotment were $5.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.4 million and additional offering related expenses of $0.1 million.
The Company anticipates that the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and the Over-Allotment will be used for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of other businesses, products or technologies. However, RigNet has no agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time.
Preferred Stock
In connection with the IPO in December 2010, the Company settled and converted all preferred stock, accrued preferred stock dividends and major event preference rights through the issuance of 5,661,292 shares of common stock. Prior to the IPO, conversion and redemption rights associated with preferred stock were bifurcated based on an analysis of the features of the preferred stock agreements (Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock), classified as a non-current liability and reported at approximate fair value, with changes in fair value being reported as other income (expense).
RigNet is authorized to issue 10.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Goodwill relates to the acquisitions of LandTel Communications LLC (LandTel) and OilCamp AS (OilCamp) as the consideration paid exceeded the fair value of acquired identifiable net tangible assets and intangibles. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually with additional evaluations being performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual impairment test on July 31st, with the most recent test being performed as of July 31, 2011. This test resulted in no impairment. No impairment indicators have been identified through September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, goodwill was $13.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation.

Term Loan
The Company has a term loan (Term Loan) with two participating financial institutions. The Term Loan was amended in November 2010 to provide for a draw feature available through May 9, 2011, under which the Company borrowed an additional $1.1 million used solely for purchases of equipment. In May 2011, the Company further amended its Term Loan, increasing the principle balance by $0.1 million, extending the maturity of the loan to May 2014 and removing the requirement to maintain compensating cash balances.
Additionally, the amended Term Loan bears a reduced interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, based on a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable monthly along with quarterly principal installments of $2.2 million, with the balance due May 31, 2014. The weighted average interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 3.3% and 4.2%, respectively, with an interest rate of 3.0% at September 30, 2011.
The Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2011, the Term Loan had outstanding principal of $25.7 million.
Covenants and Restrictions
The Company’s Term Loan contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the agreement, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. If any default occurs related to these covenants, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest shall be declared immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
   
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Reported amounts approximate fair value.
   
Restricted Cash — Reported amounts approximate fair value.
   
Accounts Receivable — Reported amounts, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, approximate fair value.
   
Accounts Payable, Including Income Taxes Payable and Accrued Expenses — Reported amounts approximate fair value.
   
Long-Term Debt — The carrying amount of the Company’s floating-rate debt approximates fair value since the interest rates paid are based on short-term maturities and recent quoted rates from financial institutions.
   
Preferred Stock Derivatives — Conversion and redemption rights associated with preferred stock, which were bifurcated based on an analysis of the features in relation to Series A, B, and C Preferred Stock, classified as a non-current liability and reported at approximate fair value, with changes in fair value being reported as other income (expense). All preferred stock derivatives were settled immediately prior to the Company’s IPO in December 2010 (see Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Preferred Stock).
Note 7 — Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was (5.8)% and 84.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective income tax rate was 35.0% and (88.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective tax rates are affected by factors including fluctuations in income across international jurisdictions with varying tax rates, non-deductibility of changes in fair value of preferred stock derivatives in 2010, changes in valuation allowances, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest. The effective tax rates are also impacted by calculating the tax provision of the domestic jurisdiction discrete to the respective quarter rather than benefitting from the utilization of a blended rate for all the current year.
The Company and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agreed to the final assessments related to an audit of the Company’s 2008 income tax return in August of 2011. The final settlement did not have a material change to our financial position or results of operations for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 144,110 shares of restricted stock to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). Restricted shares have no exercise price and are considered issued and outstanding common stock. Restricted shares issued to officers and employees, totaling 116,942 shares, generally vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of shares vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted shares issued to directors, totaling 27,168 shares, generally vest over a two year period of continued service, with 50% of shares vesting on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company also granted 208,444 stock options to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Plan. Options granted during this period have an exercise price ranging from $17.90 to $18.00, a contractual term of ten years and vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of shares vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.
The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.
The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses certain assumptions as of the date of grant. The assumptions used for the stock option grants made during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were as follows:
         
    Nine Months Ended  
    September 30, 2011  
Expected volatility
    50%  
Expected term (in years)
    7  
Risk-free interest rate
    2.8%  
Dividend yield
     
Based on these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011was $9.73 per option.
Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, there was $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.6 years.
Note 9 — Related Party Transactions
One of the Company’s directors is the president and chief executive officer of a drilling corporation which is also a customer of the Company. Revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for services performed by the Company in the ordinary course of business. Revenue recognized for these services the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Note 10 — Income (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of basic shares outstanding. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. Basic shares exclude the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the conversion of preferred stock, exercise of stock options, exercise of warrants or satisfaction of necessary conditions for contingently issuable shares. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted shares equal the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect.

Item 2.  
Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included elsewhere herein, and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report and elsewhere in this quarterly report. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Executive Overview
We, along with our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, provide information and communication technology for the oil and gas industry through a controlled and managed IP/ MPLS global network, enabling drilling contractors, oil companies and oilfield service companies to communicate more effectively.
We enable our customers to deliver voice, fax, video and data, in real-time, between remote sites and home offices throughout the world while we manage and operate the infrastructure from our land-based network operations center. We serve offshore drilling rigs and production platforms, land rigs and remote locations including offices and supply bases, in approximately 30 countries on six continents.
Our Operations
We focus on developing customer relationships with the owners and operators of drilling rig fleets resulting in a significant portion of our revenue being concentrated in a few customers. In addition, due to the concentration of our customers in the oil and gas industry, we face the challenge of service demands fluctuating with the exploration and development plans and capital expenditures of that industry.
Network service customers are primarily served under fixed-price, day-rate contracts, which are based on the concept of pay per day of use and are consistent with terms used in the oil and gas industry. Our contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements (MSAs), with specific services being provided under individual service orders that have a term of one to three years with renewal options, while land-based locations are generally shorter term or terminable on short notice without a penalty. Service orders are executed under the MSA for individual remote sites or groups of sites, and generally may be terminated early on short notice without penalty in the event of force majeure, breach of the MSA or cold stacking of a drilling rig (when a rig is taken out of service and is expected to be idle for a protracted period of time). For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our largest customer, who has been our customer for over five years, provided approximately 11.3% of our total revenue.
We operate three reportable business segments which are managed as distinct business units.
   
Eastern Hemisphere. Our Eastern Hemisphere segment provides remote communications services for offshore drilling rigs, production facilities, energy support vessels and other remote sites. Our Eastern Hemisphere segment services are performed out of our Norway, Qatar, United Kingdom and Singapore based offices for customers and rig sites located on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean primarily off the coasts of the U.K., Norway and West Africa, around the Indian Ocean in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and India, around the Pacific Ocean near Australia, and within the South China Sea.
   
Western Hemisphere. Our Western Hemisphere segment provides remote communications services for offshore drilling rigs, production facilities, energy support vessels and other remote sites. Our Western Hemisphere segment services are performed out of our United States and Brazil based offices for customers and rig sites located on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean primarily off the coasts of the United States, Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil, and within the Gulf of Mexico, but excluding land rigs and other land-based sites in North America.
   
U.S. Land. Our U.S. Land segment provides remote communications services for drilling rigs and production facilities located onshore in North America. Our U.S. Land segment services are performed out of our Louisiana based office for customers and rig sites located in the continental United States.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenue consists primarily of satellite charges, voice and data termination costs, network operations expenses, Internet connectivity fees and direct service labor. Satellite charges consist of the costs associated with obtaining satellite bandwidth (the measure of capacity) used in the transmission of service to and from leased satellites. Network operations expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation of our network operations center, which is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on all property and equipment either installed at a customer’s site or held at our corporate and regional offices, as well as intangibles arising from acquisitions. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions, travel costs and marketing communications. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with our management, finance, contract, support and administrative functions.
Profitability increases at a site as we add customers and value-added services. Assumptions used in developing the day rates for a site may not cover cost variances from inherent uncertainties or unforeseen obstacles, including both physical conditions and unexpected problems encountered with third party service providers. Profitability risks, including oil and gas market trends, service responsiveness to remote locations, communication network complexities, political and economic instability in certain regions, export restrictions, licenses and other trade barriers, may result in the delay of service initiation, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenue. Revenue increased by $4.7 million, or 19.3%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $24.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to increases in Eastern Hemisphere revenue of $2.3 million, or 14.7%, and Western Hemisphere revenue of $0.5 million, or 9.9%. Both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere changes are primarily due to increases in deepwater unit counts and increased revenue-per-unit resulting from additional value-added services provided. Additionally, U.S. Land revenue increased $1.9 million, or 56.0%, resulting from the continued recovery of the U.S. land-based drilling market and our widening geographic footprint in this market.
Cost of Revenue. Costs increased by $2.5 million to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to incremental network services and capacity required to serve the increased unit counts. Gross Profit increased by $2.2 million, or 16.2%, to $15.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. However, as a percentage of revenue, Gross Profit decreased to 55.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 56.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue during the period resulted from decreases in Western Hemisphere, from 58.6% to 55.1% and US Land, from 46.8% to 44.5%. These decreases are primarily attributable to the purchase of excess bandwidth capacity to ensure coverage to our growing customer base.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.1 million to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase resulted from increased capital expenditures which totaled $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase is offset by reduced intangible amortization expense as certain intangibles recorded in connection with our 2006 acquisitions of LandTel Communications LLC and OilCamp AS became fully amortized in the fourth quarter of 2010.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million to $6.6 million for the three month ended September 30, 2011 from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred in 2011 related to operating as a publicly-traded company including salaries for additional management and efforts to strengthen our internal control over our financial reporting.
Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense), net increased by $0.8 million to a net income of $0.1 million for the three month ended September 30, 2011 from a net expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to expense reported in 2010 related to the change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives. Accounting standards required the separate valuation and recording of certain features of our preferred stock until such shares were converted or redeemed. Those features were revalued and reported each period at the then fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Upon completion of the IPO in December 2010, the preferred stock derivatives were settled upon the conversion of the preferred stock to common stock. As such, no charges related to the fair value of these derivatives will be recorded in 2011 or future periods.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was (5.8%) and 84.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective tax rates are affected by factors including fluctuations in income across international jurisdictions with varying tax rates, non-deductibility of changes in fair value of preferred stock derivatives in 2010, changes in valuation allowances, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest. The effective tax rates are also impacted by calculating the tax provision of the domestic jurisdiction discrete to the respective quarter rather than benefitting from the utilization of a blended rate for the current year.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Revenue. Revenue increased by $11.0 million, or 16.0%, to $79.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $5.4 million, or 60.2%, increase in U.S. Land revenue resulting from the continued recovery of the U.S. land-based drilling market and our widening geographic footprint in this market. Additionally, Eastern Hemisphere revenues increased $3.5 million, or 7.6%, and Western Hemisphere revenue increased $1.8 million, or 13.0%. Both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere changes are primarily due to increases in deepwater contract orders and unit counts.
Cost of Revenue. Costs increased by $4.3 million to $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to incremental network services and capacity required to serve the increased unit counts. Gross Profit increased by $6.6 million to $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenue, Gross Profit increased to 55.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 54.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the operating profitability as a percentage of revenue resulted primarily from an increase in Eastern Hemisphere Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue to 62.9% in 2011 from 60.9% in 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to the increases in our revenue and efficiencies in our management of bandwidth capacity.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease resulted from reduced intangible amortization expense as certain intangibles recorded in connection with our 2006 acquisitions of LandTel Communications LLC and OilCamp AS became fully amortized in the fourth quarter of 2010.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million to $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to costs incurred in 2011 related to operating as a publicly-traded company including salaries for additional management, additional audit costs and efforts to strengthen our internal control over our financial reporting.

Other Income (Expense). Other expense, net decreased by $13.5 million to a net expense of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from a net expense of $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease is primarily attributable to expense reported in 2010 related to the change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives. Accounting standards required the separate valuation and recording of certain features of our preferred stock until such shares were converted or redeemed. Those features were revalued and reported each period at the then fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Upon completion of the IPO in December 2010, the preferred stock derivatives were settled upon the conversion of the preferred stock to common stock. As such, no charges related to the fair value of these derivatives will be recorded in 2011 or future periods.
Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was 35.0% and (88.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective tax rates are affected by factors including fluctuations in income across international jurisdictions with varying tax rates, non-deductibility of changes in fair value of preferred stock derivatives in 2010, changes in valuation allowances, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest. The effective tax rates are also impacted by calculating the tax provision of the domestic jurisdiction discrete to the respective quarter rather than benefitting from the utilization of a blended rate for the current year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity and capital since our formation have been proceeds from private equity issuances, stockholder loans, cash flow from operations, bank borrowings and our IPO. To date, our primary use of capital has been to fund our growing operations and to finance acquisitions. Prior to our IPO, we raised approximately $38.3 million of net proceeds through private offerings of our common and preferred stock. In December 2010, we received net proceeds from our IPO of $35.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.8 million and additional offering related expenses of $1.8 million, of which $0.8 million was paid during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, with the balance paid during 2011. As a result of the underwriters’ exercise of the Over-Allotment in January 2011, we received net cash proceeds of $5.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.4 million and additional offering related expenses of $0.1 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
At September 30, 2011, we had working capital of $56.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $58.5 million, accounts receivable of $21.0 million and other current assets of $3.3 million, offset by $5.0 million in accounts payable, $6.3 million in accrued expenses, $8.7 million in current maturities of long-term debt, $4.8 million in tax related liabilities and $1.1 million in deferred revenue.
Over the past four years, we have spent $7.2 million to $13.5 million annually on capital expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we have spent an additional $14.9 million on capital expenditures. Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient for the conduct of our business and operations for the foreseeable future. We may also use a portion of our available cash to finance growth through the acquisition of, or investment into, businesses, products, services or technologies complementary to our current business, through mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures or otherwise. However, we have no agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time.
During the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows from operating activities and available cash and cash equivalents, which includes the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of stock related to underwriters’ Over-Allotment. In forecasting our cash flows we have considered factors including contracted services related to long-term deepwater drilling programs, U.S. Land rig count trends, projected oil and natural gas prices and contracted and available satellite bandwidth.
Beyond the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents and additional financing activities we may pursue, which may include equity offerings. We intend to use cash from operations and the net proceeds generated by the IPO and the Over-Allotment for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may want to pursue additional expansion opportunities within the next year which could require additional financing, either debt or equity. If we are unable to secure additional financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional expansions opportunities, our ability to maintain our desired level of revenue growth could be materially adversely affected.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $0.2 million was primarily due to the timing of collections of our accounts receivable and payments of our accounts payable.
Our cash provided by operations is subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of the oil and gas industry and, therefore, the demand for our services. Other factors impacting operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, as well as the timing of collecting our receivables. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to increase our contracted services through our sales and marketing efforts while leveraging the contracted satellite and other communication service costs.
Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the currencies that could materially impact our liquidity. Our historical experience with exchange rates for these currencies has been relatively stable and, consequently, we do not currently hedge these risks, but evaluate these risks on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 79.2% and 77.8% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $4.7 million and $9.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease of $4.9 million is primarily due to the release of $10.0 million of cash previously restricted by our Term Loan. This increase was offset by a $5.3 million increase in capital expenditures which totaled $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9.6 million for the same period of 2010. Capital expenditures grew $3.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 and $1.5 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, compared to each of the respective prior periods. We expect capital expenditures to continue this growth during the remainder of 2011 primarily resulting from growth opportunities arising from increasing demand for deepwater drilling. While drilling programs and timing change due to various factors beyond our control, we currently expect that our Western Hemisphere operations will benefit from the majority of capital expenditures to be spent during the remainder of 2011.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $2.1 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to net proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise of the Over-Allotment in January 2011, from which we received net cash proceeds of $5.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.4 million and additional offering related expenses of $0.1 million paid during the period. These proceeds were offset by a $6.6 million principal payment on our long-term debt.

Term Loan
The Company has a term loan (Term Loan) with two participating financial institutions. The Term Loan was amended in November 2010 to provide for a draw feature available through May 9, 2011, under which the Company borrowed an additional $1.1 million used solely for purchases of equipment. In May 2011, the Company further amended its Term Loan, increasing the principle balance by $0.1 million, extending the maturity of the loan to May 2014 and removing the requirement to maintain compensating cash balances.
Additionally, the amended Term Loan bears a reduced interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25%, based on a ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable monthly along with quarterly principal installments of $2.2 million, with the balance due May 31, 2014. The weighted average interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 3.3% and 4.2%, respectively, with an interest rate of 3.0% at September 30, 2011.
The Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2011, the Term Loan had outstanding principal of $25.7 million.
Our term loan agreement imposes certain restrictions including our ability to obtain additional debt financing and on our payment of cash dividends. It also requires us to maintain certain financial covenants such as a funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. At September 30, 2011, our Adjusted EBITDA exceeded the minimum levels required by the: (i) fixed charge coverage ratio by $11.6 million (or 35.5% of our Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months) and (ii) funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio by $19.9 million (or 60.8% of our Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue. This measure is used to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of cost management.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, (gain) loss on retirement of property and equipment, change in fair value of derivatives, stock-based compensation and IPO costs and related bonuses. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:
   
Securities analysts use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst presentations include Adjusted EBITDA;
   
By comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year; and
   
Adjusted EBITDA is an integral component of the financial ratio covenants of our debt agreement.

Table of Contents

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
   
To indicate profit contribution and cash flow availability for growth and/or debt retirement;
   
For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and as a key element of annual incentive programs;
   
To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and
   
In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.
Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;
   
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the stock based compensation component of employee compensation;
   
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and
   
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA generated from our operations and operating segments to assess the potential recovery of historical capital expenditures, determine timing and investment levels for growth opportunities, extend commitments of satellite bandwidth cost to expand our offshore production platform and vessel market share, invest in new products and services, expand or open new offices, service centers and SOIL nodes, and assist purchasing synergies.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.7 million to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.0 million to $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These increases resulted from the recovery of the U.S. land-based drilling market and increases in contract orders and unit counts in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, partially offset by costs incurred in 2011 related to operating as a publicly-traded company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued the Accounting Standard Update 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“Update 2011-05”) which is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Update 2011-05 provides amendments to Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to be applied retrospectively. Update 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We will adopt Update 2011-05 upon its effective date of January 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of Update 2011-05 to have a material effect on our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“Update 2011-08”) which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Update 2011-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, although early adoption is allowed. We will not elect early adoption of this standard and expect to adopt the provisions of Update 2011-08 for our annual impairment test as of July 31, 2012. We do not expect Update 2011-08 to have any impact on our financial position and results of operations as it is a change in application of the goodwill impairment test only.

Item 3.  
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to foreign operations and certain purchases from foreign vendors. In the normal course of business, we assess these risks and have established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values.
Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our exposure on firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies, but evaluate this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 20.8% and 22.2% of our revenues were earned in non-U.S. currencies, respectively.
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable interest rate long-term debt. We do not currently use financial instruments to hedge these interest risk exposures, but evaluate this on a continual basis and may put financial instruments in place in the future if deemed necessary. The following analysis reflects the annual impacts of potential changes in our interest rate to net income (loss) attributable to us and our total stockholders’ equity based on our outstanding long-term debt on September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assuming those liabilities were outstanding for the previous twelve months:
                 
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2011     2010  
    (in thousands)  
Effect on Net Income (Loss) and Equity — Increase/Decrease:
               
1% Decrease/increase in rate
  $ 257     $ 323  
2% Decrease/increase in rate
  $ 514     $ 646  
3% Decrease/increase in rate
  $ 771     $ 970  
Item 4.  
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in order to strengthen our internal control over our financial reporting, we have instituted an Internal Audit function, reporting directly to the Chairman of our Audit Committee, to work directly with our finance and accounting departments with the sole objective of improving, documenting and testing our internal control environment. Additionally, we have expanded our management team to include a Director of Information Technology managing all information systems, globally and across all functions.
The process of improving our internal control has required and will continue to require us to expend significant resources to design, implement and maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis.
