Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 6, 2015, TETRA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2015. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the quarterly and year-to-date financial information determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that are included in the attached press release, the press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding the Company’s past financial performance and future financial performance. The attached press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Consolidated and Segment income before taxes, excluding the Company’s Maritech segment and unusual charges. Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show TETRA’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the unusual charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA may be presented on a consolidated and segment basis. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or cost basis, and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.
Net Debt. Net Debt is defined as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management believes that Net Debt provides information concerning the Company’s ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities.
Free cash flow. Free cash flow is cash from operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech’s asset retirement obligations, less capital expenditures. Management believes this is an important supplemental financial measure because it allows management to assess the Company’s ability to retire debt, and evaluate the capacity to further invest and grow.

The methods the Company uses to produce these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. The foregoing non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure of each non-GAAP financial measure is included in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Analysis of Third Quarter 2015 Results
    
Stuart M. Brightman, TETRA's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third quarter results were exceptional, following a very strong second quarter, but in an increasingly more challenging market environment. I attribute these results to the continued diversification of our customer base, the introduction of new products into the market, as well as additional actions taken across the organization to react to market conditions.

“Revenues in our Fluids Division for the third quarter of 2015 increased $5.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted pretax margins for the Division improved $17.0 million versus the third quarter of 2014. These third quarter results are similar to the results of the Division’s second quarter of this year. The number of significant completion fluids-related projects in the third quarter was a major driver of the Division’s outstanding results, and we also saw continued strength in our manufacturing operations, as well as the Division’s international operations. During the quarter, our Gulf of Mexico completion fluids business continued to benefit significantly from the introduction of new products, as well as the acceleration in timing of several projects. Overall, this was a record quarter for the Division in both revenues and profits.

“Excluding the impact of an adjustment for bad debts of $2 million, and VAT charges of $0.9 million in Brazil, our Production Testing Division’s third quarter 2015 pretax earnings were a slight loss. Going forward, we expect the challenging market for Production Testing in the U.S. to continue, and we are continuing to expand our customer base and take the necessary cost actions to minimize the impact.

“For the third quarter of 2015 our Compression Division reported adjusted pretax earnings of $2.1 million, a decrease from the $6.6 million of adjusted pretax earnings reported in the third quarter of 2014. Utilization for compression services trended down during the third quarter, reflecting lower oil and gas wellhead-related activity mainly in lower horsepower applications. On October 20, 2015, CSI Compressco LP declared a distribution of $0.5025 per unit attributable to the third quarter, an increase of 9.2% over the third quarter 2014 distribution.

“Our Offshore Services segment reported adjusted pretax earnings of $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2015. This compares favorably to adjusted earnings of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. In the very challenging offshore Gulf of Mexico market environment, our ability to achieve profitability in the third quarter was almost exclusively driven by the impact of ongoing cost reductions.

“During the third quarter TETRA, excluding the operations of CSI Compressco, had $30.2 million of free cash flow, which includes distributions from CSI Compressco but excludes $0.8 million spent on Maritech asset retirement obligations (see schedule G for a reconciliation to GAAP cash from operations). This result was driven by our cash earnings, as well as minimal capital expenditures during the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter represents our fourth consecutive quarter of improved leverage ratios.”

Unusual and Other Charges and Maritech

During the third quarter of 2015, TETRA incurred $0.4 million of severance expense as staffing levels were adjusted to reflect lower activity levels. Additionally, the Company recorded $2.5 million of allowances for bad debts ($0.5 million for the Offshore Services segment and $2.0 million for the Production Testing Division), and $1.1 million of VAT expenses in Brazil.

Maritech reported a pre-tax loss of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Net Debt

At September 30, 2015, the cash and debt positions of TETRA and CSI Compressco LP are shown below.

Management believes that the most appropriate method to analyze the debt positions of each company is to view them separately, as noted below:

Future Financial Guidance

Total 2015 free cash flow for TETRA (excluding CSI Compressco but including CSI Compressco distributions) is expected to be in excess of $80.0 million(1), or $1.00 per share, reflecting the Company’s focus on managing working capital, reducing costs, and generating revenue from a broad, diversified customer base. We are expecting GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 to each be a slight loss, reflecting our normal seasonal slowdown in activity and an expected early year-end curtailment of activity by our customers.  However, we expect the Gulf of Mexico projects we benefited from in the second and third quarters of this year to resume in the second quarter of 2016.

Refer to Schedule G for a reconciliation of free cash flow as of September 30, 2015, to the nearest GAAP measure.

Generally, the use of words such as “may,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “projects,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “assume,” “could,” “should,” “plans,” “targets” or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events, activities, expectations or outcomes identify forward-looking statements that the Company intends to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning expected results of operational business segments for 2015, anticipated benefits from CSI Compressco following the acquisition of CSI in 2014, including increases in cash distributions per unit, projections concerning the Company's business activities, financial guidance, estimated earnings, earnings per share, and statements regarding the Company's beliefs, expectations, plans, goals, future events and performance, and other statements that are not purely historical. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including the ability of CSI Compressco to successfully integrate the operations of CSI and recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performances or results and that actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could affect actual results are described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other risks identified from time to time in its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures for the Company: net debt, consolidated and segment income before taxes, excluding the Maritech segment and unusual charges; Adjusted EBITDA; and free cash flow. The following schedules provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, as more fully discussed in the Company’s financial statements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that following the sale of essentially all of Maritech’s oil and gas properties, it is helpful to show the Company’s results excluding the impact of the costs and charges relating to the decommissioning of Maritech’s remaining properties since these results will show the Company’s historical results of operations on a basis consistent with expected future operations. Management also believes that the exclusion of the unusual charges from the historical results of operations enables management to evaluate more effectively the Company’s operations over the prior periods and to identify operating trends that could be obscured by the excluded items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s adjusted income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of the Company’s assets, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis and to assess the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that the Company defines as cash from operations, excluding cash settlements of Maritech ARO, less capital expenditures. Management uses this supplemental financial measure to:
assess the Company’s ability to retire debt;
evaluate the capacity of the Company to further invest and grow; and
to measure the performance of the Company as compared to its peer group of companies.

The following reconciliation of net debt is presented as a supplement to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines net debt as the sum of long-term and short-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet, less cash, excluding restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet and excluding the debt and cash of CSI Compressco LP. Management views net debt as a measure of TETRA's ability to reduce debt, add to cash balances, pay dividends, repurchase stock, and fund investing and financing activities. A reconciliation of total debt to net debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is provided below.
