NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
We are an energy services and solutions company with operations on six continents focused on developing environmentally conscious services and solutions that help make people's lives better. In addition to providing products and services to the oil and gas industry and calcium chloride for diverse applications, TETRA is expanding into the low-carbon energy market with chemistry expertise, key mineral acreage, and global infrastructure, helping to meet the demand for sustainable energy in the twenty-first century. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1981. Our products and services are delivered through two reporting segments – Completion Fluids & Products Division and Water & Flowback Services Division.
Our Completion Fluids & Products Division manufactures and markets clear brine fluids (“CBFs”), additives, and associated products and services to the oil and gas industry for use in well drilling, completion, and workover operations in the United States and in certain countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The Division also markets liquid and dry calcium chloride products manufactured at its production facilities or purchased from third-party suppliers to a variety of markets outside the energy industry. Calcium chloride is used in the oil and gas industry, and also has broad industrial applications to the agricultural, road, food and beverage, and lithium production markets. Our Completion Fluids & Products Division also markets TETRA PureFlow, an ultra-pure zinc bromide, as well as TETRA PureFlow Plus, an ultra-pure zinc bromide/zinc chloride blend, to battery technology companies.
Our Water & Flowback Services Division provides onshore oil and gas operators with comprehensive water management services. The Division also provides frac flowback, production well testing, and other associated services in many of the major oil and gas producing regions in the United States, as well as in oil and gas basins in certain countries in Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. We are also developing and pilot testing technologies to treat and desalinate produced water from oil wells for beneficial reuse, including surface discharge.
Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us,” and “our,” we are describing TETRA Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Presentation
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025 (the “ 202 4 Annual Report ”).
Discontinued Operations
In early 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our former Offshore segment. Our former Offshore segment is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We may be required to satisfy certain decommissioning liabilities under third-party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees for which costs may be significant. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we accrued $ 5.8 million of decommissioning expense and liability associated with our former Offshore segment for which costs might be above the value of surety bonds on properties previously disposed. See Note 6 - “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional discussion of contingencies related to discontinued operations.
7
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our 202 4 Annual Report . Other than reporting restricted cash as described below, there have been no significant changes in our accounting policies or the application thereof during the first quarter of 2025.
Out-of-Period Correction
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an adjustment to our deferred tax liability related to a correction to our 2024 tax provision. This adjustment increased income tax benefit by $ 1.2 million and increased net income per share attributable to TETRA stockholders by $ 0.01 in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company assessed the impact of this out-of-period adjustment and concluded that it was not material to the financial statements previously issued for any interim or annual period, and the adjustment during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 is not expected to be material to the annual financial statements for 2025.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is classified as a current asset when it is expected to be repaid or settled in the next twelve-month period. In connection with the May 2024 amendment to our ABL Credit Agreement, our former administrative agent required us to collateralize our outstanding letters of credit until the letters of credit expired in March 2025. Restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 consists of less than $ 0.1 million held in escrow in connection with our Arkansas development.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and impairments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
Mineral Resources Arrangement
We have rights to the brine underlying our approximately 40,000 gross acres of brine leases in the Smackover Formation in Southwest Arkansas, including rights to the bromine and lithium contained in the brine. In June 2023, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Saltwerx LLC (“Saltwerx”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation, relating to the Evergreen Unit, and potential bromine and lithium production from brine produced from the unit. We completed an initial preliminary economic assessment in early 2023 for the extraction of the brine and for a bromine processing plant. On January 8, 2024, we announced the completion of a technical resources report for the Evergreen Unit in Arkansas. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we capitalized approximately $ 11.2 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, of costs associated with the development of our properties in Arkansas.
Foreign Currency Translation
We have designated the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real as the functional currencies for our operations in Finland and Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil, respectively. The United States dollar is the designated functional currency for most of our other non-U.S. operations. The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the United States dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component of equity. Foreign currency exchange (gains) losses are included in other (income) expense, net and totaled $ 8.8 million and $( 0.2 ) million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Foreign currency exchange losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 include recognition of a $ 9.5 million cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment loss, which was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the dissolution of our former subsidiary in Canada during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
8
Fair Value Measurements
We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are utilized on a recurring basis in the determination of the carrying values of certain investments. See Note 7 - “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion. Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, including the impairment of long-lived assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

New Accounting Pronouncements
Standards not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures about certain expenses included in the income statement, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, intangible asset amortization and depreciation. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statements and related disclosures .
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The new standard requires companies to disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of these standards but does not expect them to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption as the standards expand disclosures only.
NOTE 2 – REVENUE
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our contract asset balances, primarily associated with contractual invoicing milestones and/or customer documentation requirements, were $ 26.3 million and $ 30.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Contract assets, along with billed trade accounts receivable, are included in trade accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets.
Unearned income includes amounts in which the Company was contractually allowed to invoice prior to satisfying the associated performance obligations. Unearned income balances were $ 0.6 million and $ 0.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and vary based on the timing of invoicing and performance obligations being met. Unearned income is included in accrued liabilities and other in our consolidated balance sheets. We recognized approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million during the three months ended
9
March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, deferred in unearned income as of the beginning of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, contract costs were not significant.
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into Product Sales and Services within each segment, as noted in our two reportable segments in Note 9 - “Industry Segments.” In addition, we disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geography based on the following table below.

We also hold investments in convertible notes, common units and preferred units issued by two privately-held companies. These convertible notes, common units and preferred units are not publicly traded and may not be offered, sold, transferred or pledged until such common units are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration.

As of March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding and $ 0.2 million letters of credit or guarantees under our ABL Credit Agreement. Deferred financing costs of $ 1.0 million and $ 1.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were classified as other long-term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as there was no outstanding balance on our ABL Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our ABL Credit Agreement provides, with certain restrictions, for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $ 100.0 million with a $ 25.0 million accordion. The credit facility is subject to a borrowing base determined monthly by reference to the value of inventory and accounts receivable, and includes a sublimit of $ 20.0 million for letters of credit, and a swingline loan sublimit of $ 11.5 million. The ABL Credit Agreement matures on May 13, 2029. Subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the ABL Credit Agreement that may limit borrowings, we had availability of $ 87.1 million under this agreement.
Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) the standard overnight financing rate plus 0.10 %, (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, or (iii) the Daily Simple Risk Free Rate plus 0.10 %. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest as announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus 0.5 % per annum and (c) the standard overnight financing rate (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0 % per annum, provided that the base rate shall not be less than 1.0 %. Borrowings outstanding have an applicable margin ranging from 2.00 % to 2.50 % per annum for SOFR-based loans and 1.00 % to 1.50 % per annum for base-rate loans, based upon the applicable fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the ABL Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at an applicable rate of 0.375 % per annum. TETRA is also required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on loans and fronting fees.
All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the ABL Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain subsidiaries of TETRA, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, and a maximum of 65 % of the equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries.
Swedish Credit Facility
In January 2022, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility for seasonal working capital needs of subsidiaries in Sweden (“Swedish Credit Facility”). As of March 31, 2025, we had no balance outstanding and availability of approximately $ 5.0 million under the Swedish Credit Facility. During each year, all outstanding loans under the Swedish Credit Facility must be repaid for at least 30 consecutive days. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of 2.95 % per annum. The Swedish Credit Facility expires on December 31, 2025 and the Company intends to renew it annually.
Finland Credit Agreement
In January 2022, the Company also entered into an agreement guaranteed by certain accounts receivable and inventory in Finland (“Finland Credit Agreement”). As of March 31, 2025, there were $ 1.5 million of letters of credit outstanding against the Finland Credit Agreement. The Finland Credit Agreement expires on January 31, 2026 and the Company intends to renew it annually.
Covenants
Our credit agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability to pay dividends or other restricted payments. As of March 31, 2025, we are in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreements.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
We are named defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider it reasonably possible that a loss resulting from such lawsuits or other proceedings in excess of any amounts accrued has been incurred that is expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
There have been no material developments in our legal proceedings during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. For additional discussion of our legal proceedings, please see our 202 4 Annual Report .
Product Purchase Obligations
In the normal course of our Completion Fluids & Products Division operations, we enter into supply agreements with certain manufacturers of various raw materials and finished products. Some of these agreements have terms and conditions that specify a minimum or maximum level of purchases over the term of the agreement. Other agreements require us to purchase the entire output of the raw material or finished product produced by the manufacturer. Our purchase obligations under these agreements apply only with regard to raw materials and finished products that meet specifications set forth in the agreements. We recognize a liability for the purchase of such products at the time we receive them. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the fixed and determinable portion of the purchase obligation pursuant to our Completion Fluids & Products Division’s supply agreements was approximately $ 55.9 million, including $ 17.4 million for the remainder of 2025, $ 22.2 million in 2026, $ 15.4 million in 2027, and $ 0.9 million in 2028. As of March 31, 2025, our Water & Flowback Services division had an obligation to purchase equipment for approximately $ 4.0 million during the year ending December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we also have commitments of $ 23.8 million related to long-lead power infrastructure for our Completion Fluids & Products Division’s proposed bromine plant in Arkansas, including $ 10.3 million due during the remainder of 2025 and $ 13.5 million due over five years beginning after electric service is available.
Contingencies Related to Discontinued Operations
In early 2018, we closed the Maritech Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Maritech APA") and Maritech Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Maritech MIPA”) with Orinoco Natural Resources, LLC (“Orinoco”) that together provided for the purchase by Orinoco of all of Maritech’s remaining oil and gas properties and related assets and all outstanding membership interests of Maritech. Under the Maritech APA, Orinoco assumed responsibility for all of Maritech’s decommissioning liabilities related to the leases sold to Orinoco (the “Orinoco Lease Liabilities”) and, under the Maritech MIPA, Orinoco assumed all other liabilities of Maritech, including the decommissioning liabilities associated with Maritech’s interests in oil and gas properties previously sold by Maritech and select infrastructure still operated by Maritech (the “Legacy Liabilities”), subject to certain limited exceptions unrelated to the decommissioning liabilities. To the extent that Maritech or Orinoco fails to satisfy decommissioning liabilities associated with any of the Orinoco Lease Liabilities or the Legacy Liabilities, we may be required to satisfy such liabilities under third party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees that we previously provided to the U.S. Department of the Interior (“BSEE”) and other parties, respectively, for which costs may be significant. Pursuant to a Bonding Agreement entered into as part of these Orinoco transactions (the “Bonding Agreement”), Orinoco provided non-revocable performance bonds from a surety company in an aggregate amount of $ 46.8 million to cover the performance by Orinoco and Maritech of certain specific asset retirement obligations of Maritech (the “Initial Bonds”) and agreed to replace the Initial Bonds with other non-revocable performance bonds in the aggregate sum of $ 47.0 million (collectively, the “Replacement Bonds”). In the event Orinoco does not provide the Replacement Bonds, Orinoco is required to make certain cash escrow payments to us. To date, no cash escrow payments have been made. On August 16, 2024, we issued a letter to Orinoco and the bond company demanding realignment of the existing bonds and/or issuance of Replacement Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Bonding Agreement to better align bond coverage with the more likely liability risks. To date, no written response has been received.
The payment obligations of Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement were guaranteed by Thomas M. Clarke and Ana M. Clarke pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement (the “Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement”). Orinoco has not delivered the Replacement Bonds and neither it nor the Clarkes has made any of the agreed upon cash escrow payments. We filed a lawsuit against Orinoco and the Clarkes to enforce the terms of the Bonding
13
Agreement and the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. The trial court initially granted summary judgment in favor of Orinoco and the Clarkes, dismissing our claims against Orinoco under the Bonding Agreement and against the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. We filed an appeal with the trial court requesting a new trial on the summary judgment or modification of the judgment. On November 5, 2019, the trial court signed an order granting our motion for a new trial and vacating the prior summary judgment order. The parties are awaiting direction from the court on a new scheduling order and/or trial setting. The Initial Bonds, which are non-revocable, remain in effect.
In addition, Maritech and certain other interest owners have received decommissioning orders from BSEE and could receive additional decommissioning orders in the future. Such decommissioning orders received by Maritech and other interest owners relate to asset retirement obligations for certain properties in the Gulf of America. From time to time, we also receive demand notices from third parties related to certain corporate guarantees or other arrangements covering such decommissioning liabilities. While the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be predicted at this time, if Maritech or other interest owners default, BSEE or third parties may seek to enforce certain corporate guarantees or third party indemnity agreements against us for a portion of such decommissioning obligations, which may be significant. On February 13, 2025, Arena Energy, LLC filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking indemnification from us and Maritech for decommissioning costs related to a Maritech oil and gas platform in the Gulf of America. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by Arena Energy, LLC but we are presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of this proceeding.
If we become liable in the future for any decommissioning liability associated with any property covered by either an Initial Bond or Replacement Bond while such bonds are outstanding and any payment made to us under such bond is insufficient to satisfy such liability, the Bonding Agreement provides that Orinoco will pay us an amount equal to such deficiency. If Orinoco fails to pay any such amount, such amount must be paid by the Clarkes under the Clarke Bonding Guaranty Agreement. Our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected if we become liable for a significant portion of the decommissioning liabilities and Orinoco or the Clarkes are unable to cover any such deficiency.
With respect to certain properties in the Gulf of America, we have been advised that the cost of the decommissioning work to plug and abandon certain wells is projected to be significantly higher than the approximately $ 10.7 million bond supporting the liability, which was put in place by Maritech and other interest owners based on earlier cost estimates. We have also been advised more recently that Maritech’s prior working interest with respect those plugging and abandonment (“P&A”) costs are expected to exceed its share of the bond. In September 2024, P&A operations commenced pursuant to a cost sharing agreement among certain parties for decommissioning certain properties in the Gulf of America. While Maritech is not a party to this cost sharing agreement, a predecessor of Maritech has advised us that it expects to seek reimbursement from us for the portion of decommissioning costs it has contractually agreed to pay pursuant to the terms of the cost sharing agreement. While the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be predicted, we could potentially be liable for an estimated amount in the range of $ 5.8 million to $ 19.4 million, depending on the outcome of negotiations and whether other partners or property owners in the chain of title fulfill their respective obligations under their agreements. Additionally, we understand that in connection with the P&A operations being performed, Maritech and the other named obligees have made a demand on the related bond. We have made efforts to protect Maritech’s proportionate share of the bond proceeds (approximately $ 3.9 million), including demanding that the surety segregate or ensure that Maritech’s share is applied solely to satisfy its proportionate share of the decommissioning costs. We accrued a liability of $ 5.8 million related to this obligation during the year ended December 31, 2024.
NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Instruments
Investments
Our investments in Kodiak and Standard Lithium are recorded in investments on our consolidated balance sheets based on the quoted market stock price (Level 1 fair value measurements). The stock component of consideration received from Standard Lithium is initially recorded as unearned income based on the quoted market price at the time the stock is received, then recognized in income over the contract term. Changes in the value of stock are recorded in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
14
We also hold investments in convertible notes, common units, and preferred units issued by two privately-held companies. Our investment in certain preferred units were recorded based on observable market-based inputs for preferred units issued to several investors during August through October 2024 (Level 2 fair value measurement). Our investment in convertible notes, common units, and certain preferred units are recorded in our consolidated financial statements based on internal valuations with assistance from a third-party valuation specialist (Level 3 fair value measurement). The valuations are impacted by key assumptions, including the assumed probability and timing of potential debt or equity offerings. One of the convertible notes includes an option to convert the note into equity interests. The change in the fair value of the embedded option, as well as the preferred units and common units, are included in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations. The change in the fair value of the convertible note, excluding the embedded option, is included in other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
