NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MRC GLOBAL INC.
NOTE 1 BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business Operations: MRC Global Inc. is a holding company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Our wholly owned subsidiaries, McJunkin Red Man Corporation and its subsidiaries, are global distributors of pipe, valves, fittings (PVF) and related products and services across each of the upstream (exploration, production and extraction of underground oil and gas), midstream (gathering and transmission of oil and gas, gas utilities and the storage and distribution of oil and gas) and downstream (crude oil refining, petrochemical processing and general industrials) sectors. We have branches in principal industrial, hydrocarbon producing and refining areas throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Our products are obtained from a broad range of suppliers.
Basis of Presentation: We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. These statements do not include all information and footnotes that generally accepted accounting principles require for complete annual financial statements. However, the information in these statements reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. We have derived our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 from the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MRC Global Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company or by such terms as we, our or us). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Standards Update No. 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05), which specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. CTA would be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages. ASU 2013-05 is effective for us prospectively in 2014. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on our financial statements.

|

|
|
Senior Secured Term Loan B: We have a $650 million seven-year Term Loan B (the Term Loan) which amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 1% per year with the balance payable in November 2019 when the facility matures. The Term Loan allows for incremental increases up to an aggregate of $200 million, plus an additional amount such that the Companys senior secured leverage ratio (as defined under the Term Loan) would not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. This facility is guaranteed by us as well as all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, it is secured by a second lien on those assets securing our Global ABL Facility (which includes accounts receivable, inventory and related assets) and a first lien on substantially all of our other assets and those of our U.S. subsidiaries, as well as a pledge of all of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of first tier, non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Term Loan has mandatory prepayment requirements ranging from 0% to 50% of excess cash flow, beginning for the year ended December 31, 2013 and depending on our senior secured leverage ratio, and contains a number of customary restrictive covenants.
The interest rate for the Term Loan was 6.39% as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Global ABL Facility: We have a $1.25 billion multi-currency global asset-based revolving credit facility (the Global ABL Facility) that matures in March 2017. This facility is comprised of $977 million in revolver commitments in the United States, $170 million in Canada, $12 million in the United Kingdom, $75 million in Australia, $9 million in the Netherlands and $7 million in Belgium. It contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the principal amount of the facility by up to $300 million.
We and each of our current and future wholly owned material U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of our borrower subsidiaries under the Global ABL Facility. Additionally, each of our non-U.S. borrower subsidiaries guarantees the obligations of our other non-U.S. borrower subsidiaries under the Global ABL Facility. Outstanding obligations are generally secured by a first priority security interest in accounts receivable, inventory and related assets.
The interest rate for the Global ABL Facility was 1.91% and 2.21% as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Availability under our Global ABL Facility was $560 million as of March 31, 2013.
NOTE 4 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Stock Options and Restricted Stock
Our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan has 3,250,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the plan. The plan permits the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based and cash-based awards. Since the adoption of the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Companys Board of Directors has periodically granted stock options and restricted stock to directors and employees, but no other types of awards have been granted under the plan. Options and stock appreciation rights may not be granted at prices less than their fair market value on the date of the grant, nor for a term exceeding ten years. For employees, vesting generally occurs over a four or five year period on the anniversaries of the date specified in the employees
6
respective agreements, subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances set forth in the option agreements. Vesting for directors generally occurs in one year. In March 2013, 641,294 stock options and 87,914 shares of restricted stock were issued to employees. To date, 1,793,969 shares have been granted to management, members of our Board of Directors and key employees under this plan. We expense the fair value of the stock option grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. A Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of the stock options.

NOTE 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate as three business segments, U.S., Canada and International. Our International segment consists of our operations outside of the U.S. and Canada, principally Europe, Asia and Australasia. These segments represent our business of selling PVF and related products and services to the energy and industrial sectors, across each of the upstream (exploration, production and extraction of underground oil and gas), midstream (gathering and transmission of oil and gas, gas utilities, and the storage and distribution of oil and gas) and downstream (crude oil refining, petrochemical processing and general industrials) sectors.

NOTE 6 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments to help manage our exposure to interest rate risk and fluctuations in foreign currencies. All of our derivative instruments are freestanding and, accordingly, changes in their fair market value are recorded in earnings. As of March 31, 2013, we do not have any interest rate swap agreements. Foreign exchange forward contracts are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs, as the fair value is based on broker quotes for the same or similar derivative instruments. The total notional amount of our forward foreign exchange contracts was approximately $58 million and $69 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We had approximately $570,000 and $3,000 recorded as assets on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
With the exception of long-term debt, the fair values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value. The carrying value of our debt was $1.073 billion and $1.257 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We estimate the fair value of the Term Loan using Level 2 inputs, or quoted market prices. The fair value of our debt was $1.080 billion and $1.261 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Asbestos Claims. We are one of many defendants in lawsuits that plaintiffs have brought seeking damages for personal injuries that exposure to asbestos allegedly caused. Plaintiffs and their family members have brought these lawsuits against a large volume of defendant entities as a result of the defendants manufacture, distribution, supply or other involvement with asbestos, asbestos containing-products or equipment or activities that allegedly caused plaintiffs to be exposed to asbestos. These plaintiffs typically assert exposure to asbestos as a consequence of third-party manufactured products purportedly distributed by MRC. As of March 31, 2013, we are named a defendant in approximately 266 lawsuits involving approximately 903 claims. No asbestos lawsuit has resulted in a judgment against us to date, with a majority being settled, dismissed or otherwise resolved. Applicable third-party insurance has substantially covered these claims, and insurance should continue to cover a substantial majority of existing and anticipated future claims. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for our estimate of the most likely settlement of asserted claims and a related receivable from insurers for our estimated recovery, to the extent we believe that the amounts of recovery are probable. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based upon our historical experience with these types of claims and analysis of pending claims, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility of potential losses arising from these claims that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Other Legal Claims and Proceedings. From time to time, we have been subject to various claims and involved in legal proceedings incidental to the nature of our businesses. We maintain insurance coverage to reduce financial risk associated with certain of these claims and proceedings. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims and proceedings. However, in our opinion, there are no pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Product Claims. From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, our customers may claim that the products that we distribute are either defective or require repair or replacement under warranties that either we or the manufacturer may provide to the customer. These proceedings are, in the opinion of management, ordinary and routine matters incidental to our normal business. Our purchase orders with our suppliers generally require the manufacturer to indemnify us against any product liability claims, leaving the manufacturer ultimately responsible for these claims. In many cases, state, provincial or foreign law provides protection to distributors for these sorts of claims, shifting the responsibility to the manufacturer. In some cases, we could be required to repair or replace the products for the benefit of our customer and seek our recovery from the manufacturer for our expense. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these claims and proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Customer Contracts
We have contracts and agreements with many of our customers that dictate certain terms of our sales arrangements (pricing, deliverables, etc.). While we make every effort to abide by the terms of these contracts, certain provisions are complex and often subject to varying interpretations. Under the terms of these contracts, our customers have the right to audit our adherence to the contract terms. Historically, any settlements that have resulted from these customer audits have not been material to our consolidated financial statements.
9
Purchase Commitments
We have purchase obligations consisting primarily of inventory purchases made in the normal course of business to meet operating needs. While our vendors often allow us to cancel these purchase orders without penalty, in certain cases, cancellations may subject us to cancellation fees or penalties depending on the terms of the contract.

Overview
We are the largest global industrial distributor, based on sales, of PVF and related products and services to the energy industry and hold a leading position in our industry across each of the upstream (exploration, production and extraction of underground oil and natural gas), midstream (gathering and transmission of oil and natural gas, natural gas utilities and the storage and distribution of oil and natural gas) and downstream (crude oil refining, petrochemical and chemical, processing and general industrials) sectors. Our business is segregated into three operating segments, consisting of our U.S. operations, our Canadian operations and our International operations. We serve our customers in over 400 service locations. We offer a wide array of PVF and oilfield supplies encompassing a complete line of products from our global network of suppliers to our more than 18,000 customers. We are diversified by geography, the industry sectors we serve and the products we sell. We seek to provide best-in-class service to our customers by satisfying the most complex, multi-site needs of many of the largest companies in the energy and industrials sectors as their primary PVF supplier. We believe the critical role we play in our customers supply chain, together with our extensive product offering, broad global presence, customer-linked scalable information systems and efficient distribution capabilities, serve to solidify our long-standing customer relationships and drive our growth. As a result, we have an average relationship of over 20 years with our 25 largest customers.
12
Key Drivers of Our Business
Our revenues are predominantly derived from the sale of PVF and other oilfield and industrial supplies to the energy sector in North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. Our business is therefore dependent upon both the current conditions and future prospects in the energy industry and, in particular, maintenance and expansionary operating and capital expenditures by our customers in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the industry. Long-term growth in spending has been, and we believe will continue to be, driven by several factors, including underinvestment in global energy infrastructure, growth in shale and unconventional exploration and production (E&P) activity, and anticipated strength in the oil, natural gas, refined products, petrochemical and other industrials sectors. The outlook for future oil, natural gas, refined products, petrochemical and other industrial PVF spending is influenced by numerous factors, including the following:
| Oil and Natural Gas Prices. Sales of PVF and related products to the oil and natural gas industry constitute a significant portion of our sales. As a result, we depend upon the oil and natural gas industry and its ability and willingness to make maintenance and capital expenditures to explore for, produce and process oil and natural gas and refined products. Oil and natural gas prices, both current and projected, along with the costs necessary to produce oil and gas, impact other drivers of our business, including E&P spending, additions and maintenance to pipeline mileage, refinery utilization and petrochemical and other industrial processing activity. |
| Economic Conditions. The demand for the products we distribute is dependent on the general economy, the energy and industrials sectors and other factors. Changes in the general economy or in the energy and industrials sectors (domestically or internationally) can cause demand for the products we distribute to materially change. |
| Customer, Manufacturer and Distributor Inventory Levels of PVF and Related Products. Customer, manufacturer and distributor inventory levels of PVF and related products can change significantly from period to period. Increases in our customers inventory levels can have an adverse effect on the demand for the products we distribute when customers draw from their inventory rather than purchase new products. Reduced demand, in turn, would likely result in reduced sales volume and profitability. Increased inventory levels by manufacturers or other distributors can cause an oversupply of PVF and related products in the industry sectors we serve and reduce the prices that we are able to charge for the products we distribute. Reduced prices, in turn, would likely reduce our profitability. Conversely, decreased customer and manufacturer inventory levels may ultimately lead to increased demand for our products and would likely result in increased sales volumes and overall profitability. |
| Steel Prices, Availability and Supply and Demand. Fluctuations in steel prices can lead to volatility in the pricing of the products we distribute, especially carbon steel tubular products, which can influence the buying patterns of our customers. A majority of the products we distribute contain various types of steel. The worldwide supply and demand for these products, or other steel products that we do not supply, impacts the pricing and availability of our products and, ultimately, our sales and operating profitability. |
Recent Trends and Outlook
During the first three months of 2013, the average oil price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) declined from $102.87 per barrel in the first three months of 2012, but remained strong at $94.42 per barrel. Despite the relative strength of oil prices, North American drilling activity decreased 10% in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012. Natural gas prices increased to an average price of $3.47/Mcf (Henry Hub) for the first three months of 2013 from an average of $2.44/Mcf (Henry Hub) for the first three months of 2012. At March 29, 2013, the natural gas price was $4.05/Mcf (Henry Hub). However, we continue to see a shift in rig activity from natural gas to oil, with oil drilling representing over 75% of the total North American rig count during the first three months of 2013 compared to 65% for the same time period in 2012.
Near the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, we experienced the impact of a general slow-down in the activities of our U.S. customers. This trend continued into the first two months of 2013, particularly in the upstream and midstream sectors which were also negatively impacted by adverse winter weather conditions in certain parts of the country. Despite this softness, we continue to see development within the Eagle Ford and Bakken shale regions and the Permian Basin as well as the heavy oil and oil sands regions of Canada. Our downstream and other industrials sector performance continues to improve. In the first quarter of 2013 we saw anticipated increases in turnaround activity at U.S. refineries.
13
Internationally, within Europe, the outlook remains steady but cautious. In Australasia, the general outlook is positive and our acquisition of the piping systems division of OneSteel Limited (MRC PSA) continues to perform well.
In 2012, we successfully implemented our strategy to focus on our higher margin product lines and reduce exposure to our oil country tubular goods (OCTG) business. As a result of this strategy, OCTG represented only 10% of total sales in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 16% in the first quarter of 2012 and our investment in OCTG inventory at the end of the first quarter of 2013 was $85 million as compared to $161 million a year ago. The impact of this rebalancing effort was to reduce our OCTG sales by approximately $95 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
We determine backlog by the amount of unshipped customer orders, either specific or general in nature (including orders held under pipe programs), which the customer may revise or cancel in certain instances. Our backlog has grown 4% since December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, total backlog was $688 million, including $456 million in our U.S. segment, $69 million in our Canadian segment and $163 million in our International segment.

Sales. Sales include the revenue recognized from the sale of the products we distribute and services to customers and freight billings to customers, less cash discounts taken by customers in return for their early payment of our invoices to them. Our sales decreased 5.6% to $1,305.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $1,382.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
U.S. SegmentOur U.S. sales decreased to $965.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $1,052.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This $87.1 million, or 8.3%, decrease reflected a $105 million reduction in OCTG sales resulting from our strategy to rebalance our sales and inventories away from this more volatile, lower margin portion of our business. Our first quarter 2013 revenues benefitted from the June and December 2012 acquisitions of the business of Chaparral Supply, LLC and Production Specialty Services Inc. (PSS) which contributed sales of $50 million. The remaining decrease was due to slower activity in the U.S. upstream and midstream sectors.
15
Canadian SegmentOur Canadian sales decreased to $204.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $208.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was modest in light of a 5% decline in Canadian rig counts.
International SegmentOur International sales increased to $135.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $121.7 million for the same period in 2012. The acquisition of MRC PSA in March 2012 accounted for $27 million in incremental revenues. Excluding the impact of this acquisition, revenues declined 11% reflecting weaker demand in Europe and parts of Australia.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit was $246.6 million (18.9% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $236.6 million (17.1% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The 180 basis point improvement in gross profit percentage was a result of planned changes in our product mix as well as other gross profit enhancement strategies. Gross profit was further benefitted by lower product costs reflected in our last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory costing methodology. LIFO resulted in a reduction in cost of sales of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to an increase in cost of sales of $6.9 million during the same period of 2012. In addition, acquisitions contributed approximately $18 million of incremental gross profit in the first three months of 2013 as compared to the first three months of 2012. These improvements in gross profit were offset by the reduction resulting from lower sales.
Certain purchasing costs and warehousing activities (including receiving, inspection and stocking costs), as well as general warehousing expenses, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and not in cost of sales. As such, our gross profit may not be comparable to others that may include these expenses as a component of cost of sales. Purchasing and warehousing costs approximated $9.5 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Adjusted Gross Profit. Adjusted Gross Profit increased to $262.1 million (20.1% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $259.9 million (18.8% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an improvement of $2.2 million. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as sales, less cost of sales, plus depreciation and amortization, plus amortization of intangibles, and plus or minus the impact of our LIFO inventory costing methodology. We present Adjusted Gross Profit because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance without regard to items, such as amortization of intangibles, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions they have been involved in. Similarly, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize the LIFO method and depending upon which method they may elect. In particular, we believe that Adjusted Gross Profit is a useful indicator of our operating performance because Adjusted Gross Profit measures our operating performance without regard to acquisition transaction-related amortization expenses. We use Adjusted Gross Profit as a key performance indicator in managing our business. We believe that gross profit is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Gross Profit.
The following table reconciles Adjusted Gross Profit with our gross profit, as derived from our financial statements (in millions):

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. Costs such as salaries, wages, employee benefits, rent, utilities, communications, insurance, fuel and taxes (other than state and federal income taxes) that are necessary to operate our branch and corporate operations are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Also contained in this category are certain items that are nonoperational in nature, including certain costs of acquiring and
16
integrating other businesses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $160.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $146.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Approximately $11 million of this $14 million increase is attributable to the incremental SG&A expenses of our March and December 2012 acquisitions of MRC PSA and PSS, respectively. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to North American headcount increases and increased personnel costs.
Operating Income. Operating income was $85.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to operating income of $90.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $4.4 million.
U.S. SegmentOperating income for our U.S. segment decreased to $74.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $75.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decline in operating income was driven by lower revenue levels, including the $105 million of planned reductions in OCTG sales, offset by our gross profit improvement initiatives.
Canadian SegmentOperating income for our Canadian segment decreased to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease of $1.4 million was a function of flat sales performance and increased personnel costs.
International SegmentOperating income for our International segment decreased to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease of $2.0 million was the result of the reduction in sales we experienced in Europe and parts of Australia, exclusive of our acquisition of MRC PSA, without a corresponding decrease in fixed operating costs.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense was $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The majority of the $18.4 million decrease was due to the redemption of our 9.5% senior secured notes, which was funded by borrowings on our lower cost term loan and revolving credit facilities. We also benefitted from an outstanding debt balance that was lower, on average, in the first quarter of 2013 by approximately $375 million as compared to the first quarter of 2012. Our reduced indebtedness was largely attributable to our April 2012 initial public offering that generated net proceeds of $333 million that were used to repay debt.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense was $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our effective tax rates were 35.1% and 36.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 35% principally as a result of state income taxes and differing foreign income tax rates.
Net Income. Our net income was $46.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an improvement of $8.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, amortization of intangibles and other non-cash charges (such as gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and goodwill impairment) and plus or minus the impact of our LIFO inventory costing methodology. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $103.9 million the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $115.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
We believe adjusted EBITDA provides investors a helpful measure for comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. We believe that net income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity consist of cash generated from our operating activities, existing cash balances and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2013, our total liquidity, including cash on hand, was $588 million. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities will continue to be primarily dependent on our sales of products and services to our customers at margins sufficient to cover our fixed and variable expenses. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $27.4 million and $37.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $22.6 million and $27.9 million of our cash and cash equivalents, respectively, was maintained in the accounts of our various foreign subsidiaries and, if such amounts were transferred among countries or repatriated to the U.S., such amounts may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which would be recognized in our financial statements in the period during which such decision was made. We have the intent and ability to permanently reinvest the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries, and there are currently no plans that require the repatriation of such amounts.
We have a $650 million seven-year Term Loan B (the Term Loan) which amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 1% per year with the balance payable in November 2019 when the facility matures. The Term Loan allows for incremental increases up to an aggregate of $200 million, plus an additional amount such that the Companys senior secured leverage ratio (as defined under the Term Loan) would not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. This facility is guaranteed by us as well as all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, it is secured by a second lien on those assets securing our Global ABL Facility (which includes accounts receivable, inventory and related assets) and a first lien on substantially all of our other assets and those of our U.S. subsidiaries, as well as pledge of all of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of first tier, non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Term Loan has mandatory prepayment requirements ranging from 0% to 50% of excess cash flow, beginning for the year ended December 31, 2013 and depending on our senior secured leverage ratio, and contains a number of customary restrictive covenants.
We have a $1.25 billion multi-currency global asset-based revolving credit facility (the Global ABL Facility) that matures in March 2017. This facility is comprised of $977 million in revolver commitments in the United States, $170 million in Canada, $12 million in the United Kingdom, $75 million in Australia, $9 million in the Netherlands and $7 million in Belgium. It contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the principal amount of the facility by up to $300 million.
We and each of our current and future wholly owned material U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of our borrower subsidiaries under the Global ABL Facility. Additionally, each of our non-U.S. borrower subsidiaries guarantees the obligations of our other non-U.S. borrower subsidiaries under the Global ABL Facility. Outstanding obligations are generally secured by a first priority security interest in accounts receivable, inventory and related assets.
18
Our credit ratings are below investment grade and as such could impact both our ability to raise new funds as well as the interest rates on our future borrowings. Our ability to incur additional debt is restricted by our existing obligations. We were in compliance with the covenants contained in our various credit facilities as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
As a result of our March 2013 secondary offering, we are no longer a controlled company as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. If funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. beneficially own less than 5,141,547 shares of our common stock (approximately 5% of our shares based on the number of shares currently outstanding), all options and restricted stock granted prior to our initial public offering will vest, accelerating the recognition of stock based compensation. At March 31, 2013, the unrecognized stock based compensation related to these pre-IPO grants was $8 million. Funds affiliated with Goldman Sachs & Co. beneficially owned 29,088,257 shares as of March 31, 2013.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $174.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $18.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily the result of reduced working capital requirements driven by lower sales volume and the reduction of OCTG inventory levels.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $79.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $75.4 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the March 2012 acquisition of MRC PSA, which required $72.8 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our capital expenditures were $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $179.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $75.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The financing activities generally reflect advances and payments on our revolving credit facility. The $254.8 million increase in cash used by financing activities reflects the significant cash flow generated from operations in the three months ended March 31, 2013 used to repay revolving credit facility borrowings as compared to the borrowings that were required in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to fund the acquisition of MRC PSA.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Standards Update No. 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05), which specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. CTA would be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages. ASU 2013-05 is effective for us prospectively in 2014. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which it believes are reasonable. If actual amounts are ultimately different from these estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.
Accounting policies are considered critical when they require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made and when there are different estimates that management reasonably could have made, which would have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in our financial condition or results of operations. For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As of March 31, 2013, we have reviewed, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon and as of the date of that review, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we have been subject to various claims and involved in legal proceedings incidental to the nature of our businesses. We maintain insurance coverage to reduce financial risk associated with certain of these claims and proceedings. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these claims and proceedings. However, in our opinion, there are no pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on our business, financial condition results of operations or cash flows, although it is possible that the resolution of certain actual, threatened or anticipated claims or proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation in the period of resolution.
Also, from time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, our customers may claim that the products that we distribute are either defective or require repair or replacement under warranties that either we or the manufacturer may provide to the customer. These proceedings are, in the opinion of management, ordinary and routine matters incidental to our normal business. Our purchase orders with our suppliers generally require the manufacturer to indemnify us against any product liability claims, leaving the manufacturer ultimately responsible for these claims. In many cases, state, provincial or foreign law provides protection to distributors for these sorts of claims, shifting the responsibility to the manufacturer. In some cases, we could be required to repair or replace the products for the benefit of our customer and seek our recovery from the manufacturer for our expense. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these claims and proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although it is possible that the resolution of certain actual, threatened or anticipated claims or proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation in the period of resolution.
For information regarding asbestos cases in which we are a defendant and other claims and proceedings, see Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed financial statements.
We are affected by risks specific to us as well as factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market. The significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results are described in Item 2 of Part I above and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 under Risk Factors. There has been no material change in those risk factors.

Exhibit 10.1
MRC Global Inc.
Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement
This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement (this Agreement), is made as of [Month Day, Year] (the Grant Date), between MRC Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and [ ] (the Participant).
1. Grant of Nonqualified Stock Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant a Nonqualified Stock Option (the Option) that provides the Participant the right and option to purchase Shares at the purchase price (the Option Price) of $ per Share, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the MRC Global Inc. 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Option shall be subject to the execution and return of this Agreement by the Participant (or the Participants estate, if applicable) to the Company as provided in Section 8 hereof. The Option is made under and pursuant to the Plan, which Plan is incorporated herein by reference, and the Option is subject to all of the provisions thereof. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Plan. The Option is not intended to constitute an incentive stock option as that term is used in Code Section 422.
2. Vesting Schedule. This Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule, subject to Section 3 of this Agreement:
Vesting Date |
Percentage of Option Vested |
|||
First anniversary of Grant Date |
25 | % | ||
Second anniversary of Grant Date |
50 | % | ||
Third anniversary of Grant Date |
75 | % | ||
Fourth anniversary of Grant Date |
100 | % |
The portion of the Option which has become vested and exercisable as provided herein is referred to as the Vested Portion, and the portion of the Option that has not become vested and exercisable as provided herein is referred to as the Non-Vested Portion.
3. Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 2 above, the vesting of the Option shall be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:
3.1 Death or Disability. Upon the Participants Termination by reason of the Participants death or Disability at any time on or after the Grant Date and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, the Option will be deemed to be vested and exercisable with respect to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to the Option.
3.2 Change in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Option shall become 100% vested and exercisable.
3.3 Retirement. If the Participants employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries Terminates and either:
(a) | the Participant is at least 65 years of age, or |
(b) | the Participants age plus years of service equal to at least 80, |
in each case, upon that Termination, the Option shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule in Section 2 hereof as if the Participant remained employed with the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Participant does not engage in a Prohibited Activity as defined on Exhibit A. Any Termination described in this section 3.3 shall herein be referred to as a Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.3, the Participant must remain employed with the Company on or after:
(i) | in the case of the president or chief executive officer of the Company, the third anniversary of the date of grant unless the Committee waives this requirement on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant, |
(ii) | in the case of executives of the Company who are on the level of senior or executive vice presidents, the third anniversary of the date of grant unless the President waives this requirement on or after the first anniversary of the date of grant, or |
(iii) | for all other option holders, the first anniversary of the date of grant, |
in each case, for this Section 3.3 to have effect.
4. Exercise of Option
4.1 Manner of Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Vested Portion of the Option may be exercised until the Option expires on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. The Vested Portion may be exercised, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company written notice of intent to exercise on such form (including either a written form or an internet-based exercise menu) as the Company shall prescribe. This notice shall specify the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised (the Purchased Shares) and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price in respect of the Purchased Shares. The Option Price shall be payable to the Company:
(a) | in cash or its equivalent; |
(b) | by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares that have been held by the Participant for at least six months prior to exercise of the Option and that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the day preceding the date of exercise equal to the Option Price (or applicable portion thereof); |
2
(c) | by a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise in accordance with such procedures established by the Company; |
(d) | by any combination of (a), (b) and (c); or (e) any other method approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. |
4.2 Limitation to Exercise of Vested Option. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Option may not be exercised prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Option or the Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Option that the Committee shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable under any Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 17 of this Agreement). The Committee may establish additional procedures as it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of the Option or issuance of any Shares upon the exercise to comply with any Legal Requirements. These procedures may include but are not limited to the establishment of limited periods during which the Option may be exercised or that following receipt of the notice to exercise and prior to the completion of the exercise, the Participant will be required to affirm the exercise of the Option following receipt of any disclosure deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee.
5. Termination of Employment; Breach of Restrictive Covenants
5.1 Employment Termination.
(a) | If the Participants employment Terminates for any reason whatsoever other than a Termination by the Company for Cause or a Retirement, |
(i) | the Option, other than the Vested Portion, shall terminate on, and shall be of no further force and effect from and after, the date of such Termination, and |
(ii) | the Vested Portion of the Option shall be exercisable by the Participant during the Post-Termination Exercise Period (as defined below), but in no event after the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, and, until exercised, the Option shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. |
(b) | If the Participants Termination is by reason of a Retirement, no portion of the Option will terminate upon the Termination, and the Option will remain outstanding and the Vested Portion thereof shall be exercisable by the Participant during the Post-Termination Exercise Period; provided, that if the Participant engages in any Prohibited Activity (as defined in Exhibit A) following his Retirement, the Non-Vested Portion of the Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be immediately cancelled without payment of consideration therefor. If the Company receives an allegation of a Prohibited Activity, the Company, in its discretion, may suspend the exercise of the Option for up to three months to permit the investigation of the allegation. If the Company determines that the Grantee did not engage in any Prohibited Activities, the Company shall permit the exercise of any vested Option for an additional amount of time equal to the time the Company suspended the Option. |
(c) | If the Participants employment is Terminated for Cause, the Non-Vested Portion of the Option shall immediately be cancelled without payment of consideration therefor, and the Vested Portion thereof shall be exercisable by the Participant during the Post-Termination Exercise Period. |
3
(d) | To the extent that the Participant does not exercise the Vested Portion of the Option within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, such portion shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect following the last day of the Post-Termination Exercise Period. |
5.2 Post-Termination Exercise Period. The Post-Termination Exercise Period means the period commencing on the date of the Participants Termination and ending on
(a) | in the case of a Termination other than by reason of the Participants Retirement, death or Disability, on the 180th day following the date of the Participants Termination, |
(b) | in the case of a Termination by reason of the Participants death or Disability, on the first anniversary of the date of the Participants Termination, or |
(c) | in the case of a Termination by reason of Retirement, until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. |
6. Issuance of Shares Upon Option Exercise. Upon the Companys determination that the Option has been validly exercised as to any of the Shares, the Company shall issue certificates or evidence of book entry shares for the Shares. The Share certificates or evidence of book entry shares shall be issued in the Participants name (or, at the discretion of the Participant, jointly in the names of the Participant and the Participants spouse) or the name of the Participants nominee. The Company shall maintain a record of all information pertaining to the Participants rights under this Agreement, including the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is exercisable.
7. Restrictive Covenant. In consideration of the Option that the Company has granted to Participant in this Agreement, Participant agrees not to engage in Prohibited Activity during Participants employment with the Company and any of its subsidiaries (the Company Group) and for a period of [CEO: 18][EVPs: 12][all others: six] months after Participants termination of employment with the Company Group (the Restricted Period). If the Participant engages in a Prohibited Activity during the Restricted Period, the Company and/or its appropriate subsidiaries may seek an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent Participant from engaging in the Prohibited Activity during the Restricted Period without the necessity of posting bond or other security to obtain the injunction. Both the Company and the Participant agree that monetary damages alone are an insufficient remedy for breach of the foregoing covenant. The Company and/or its appropriate subsidiaries may seek monetary damages in addition to an injunction, and the covenant in favor of the Company Group in this Agreement is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any similar covenants that Participant may have entered into in favor of any member of the Company Group in any employment or other agreement. To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the restrictions in the foregoing covenant are too broad, these restrictions shall be interpreted and construed in the broadest possible manner to provide the Company Group the broadest possible protection, including (without limitation) with respect to geographic coverage, activities of the Company Groups businesses and time of applicability of the restrictions.
4
8. Execution of Agreements. The Option granted to the Participant shall be subject to the Participants execution and return of this Agreement.
9. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to Terminate the Participants employment, nor confer upon the Participant any right to continuance of employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or continuance of service as a Board member.
10. Shareholder Rights. The Participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any dividend, voting or other rights of a holder with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until:
(a) | the Option shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, and the Participant shall have paid the full exercise price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and any applicable withholding taxes, |
(b) | the Company shall have issued the Shares to or in the name of the Participant or the Participants nominee, and |
(c) | the Participants name shall have been entered as a holder of record on the books of the Company. |
Upon the occurrence of all of the foregoing events, the Participant shall have full ownership rights with respect to such Shares.
11. Withholding of Taxes. Prior to the delivery to the Participant (or the Participants estate, if applicable) of Shares, the Participant (or the Participants estate) shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Shares, or any payment or transfer under, or with respect to, the Shares, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of withholding taxes. The Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold from a Share Payment the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the withholding is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory withholding requirement or by remitting cash received from a cashless exercise. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder. In no event shall any withholdings made under this Section 11 exceed the minimum statutory withholding requirement.
12. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated, and any terms or conditions may be waived, but only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto, except as otherwise permitted under the Plan.
5
13. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.
14. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction set forth in the Plan, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
15. Option Subject to Plan. By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan. The Option is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

(b) | the Participants age plus years of service equal to at least 80, |
in each case, upon that Termination, the Award shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule in Section 3 hereof as if the Participant remained employed with the Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Participant does not engage in a Prohibited Activity as defined on Exhibit A.

10. Withholding of Taxes. Prior to the delivery to the Participant (or the Participants estate, if applicable) of Shares of Restricted Stock that have vested pursuant to Section 3 or 4 hereof, the Participant (or the Participants estate) shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding taxes in respect of such Award, or any payment or transfer under, or with respect to, such Award, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold from a Share Payment the number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the withholding is to be determined equal to the withholding amount. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits hereunder.
11. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated, and any terms or conditions may be waived, but only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto, except as otherwise permitted under the Plan.
12. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full force in accordance with their terms.
13. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction set forth in the Plan, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
4
14. Securities Laws.

17. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Participants legal representatives. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participants heirs, executors, administrators and successors.
