FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain statements that may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Statements contained in all parts of this document
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the Company or Dril-Quip). You can identify the Companys forward-looking
statements by the words anticipate, estimate, expect, may, project, believe and similar expressions, or by the Companys discussion of strategies or trends. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurances can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements include the following types of
information and statements as they relate to the Company:



| |  |  | future operating results and cash flow;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | scheduled, budgeted and other future capital expenditures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | working capital requirements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of expected sources of liquidity;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the introduction into the market of the Companys future products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the market for the Companys existing and future products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companys ability to develop new applications for its technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the exploration, development and production activities of the Companys customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | compliance with present and future environmental regulations and costs associated with environmentally related penalties, capital expenditures, remedial actions and
proceedings;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | effects of pending legal proceedings; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | future operations, financial results, business plans and cash needs.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

These statements are based on assumptions and analyses in light of the Companys experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors the Company believes were appropriate in the circumstances when the statements were made. Forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly
impact expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, the Company continues to face many risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that
could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report and the following:



| |  |  | the volatility of oil and natural gas prices;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainties associated with the United States and worldwide economies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainties regarding political tensions in the Middle East and elsewhere;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | current and potential governmental regulatory actions in the United States and regulatory actions and political unrest in other countries;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operating interruptions (including explosions, fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, labor difficulties, transportation
interruptions, spills and releases and other environmental risks);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companys reliance on product development;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

| |  |  | technological developments;

| |  |  | the Companys reliance on sources of raw materials;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | control by certain stockholders;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | impact of environmental matters;

| |  |  | access to capital markets; and

| |  |  | war and terrorist acts.
| | - |  | -----------------------

Many of
such factors are beyond the Companys ability to control or predict. Any of the factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect the Companys future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking
statements. Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels. Every forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of
the particular statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement.

Industry Overview and Outlook

Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and services and the Companys business are substantially dependent on the financial
condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. The level of capital expenditures has generally been
dependent upon the prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including worldwide economic activity, interest rates and the cost of capital, environmental
regulation, tax

policies, and the ability of OPEC and other producing nations to set and maintain production levels and prices. Capital expenditures are also dependent on
the cost of exploring for and producing oil and gas, the sale and expiration dates of offshore leases, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas and technological advances. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling
and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. In general, increases in oil and gas prices, rig counts and new rig construction result in an increase in demand for the Companys products and services.

Increasing oil and gas prices from 2005 through mid-2008 resulted in oil operators increasing capital spending for both exploration and
development programs. As various geopolitical issues have limited the ability of oil and gas companies to invest in certain geographic areas, such as Russia and the Middle East, an increasing amount of this capital spending was in the deepwater
areas in which the Company operates. However, in mid-2008, oil and gas prices began to decline. This decline has resulted in reduced capital spending by some oil and gas companies and may result in additional reductions in capital spending. We
expect that the need for specialized products will continue and to date, we have not seen a material dropoff in demand for our products during this volatile market period. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsA material or extended decline in
expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.

Products and Services

Products

Dril-Quip designs,
manufactures, fabricates, inspects, assembles, tests and markets subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment. The Company derived approximately 84% of its revenues from the sale of its products in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008. The
Companys products are used to explore for oil and gas on offshore drilling rigs, such as floating rigs and jack-ups, and for drilling and production of oil and gas wells on offshore platforms, TLPs, Spars and moored vessels such as FPSOs. TLPs
are floating production platforms that are connected to the ocean floor via vertical mooring tethers (called tension legs). A Spar is a floating cylindrical structure approximately six or seven times longer than its diameter that is anchored in
place (like a Spar buoy). FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading monohull moored vessels.

Subsea
Equipment. Subsea equipment is used in the drilling and production of offshore oil and gas wells around the world. Included in the subsea equipment product line are subsea wellheads, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors
and associated pipe, subsea production trees, liner hangers, subsea control systems and subsea manifolds.

Subsea wellheads are
pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed subsea to suspend casing (downhole pipe). As drilling depth increases, successively smaller diameter casing strings are installed, each suspended by
an independent casing hanger. Subsea wellheads are utilized when drilling from floating drilling rigs, either semi-submersible or drillship types, and TLPs and Spars. The Companys SS-15 Big Bore Subsea Wellhead System is designed to
accommodate additional casing strings installed through a conventional marine riser and a subsea blowout preventer.

Mudline hanger
systems are used in jack-up drilling operations to support the weight of the various casing strings at the ocean floor while drilling a well. They also provide a method to disconnect the casing strings in an orderly manner at the ocean floor
after the well has been drilled, and subsequently reconnect to enable production of the well by either tying it back vertically to a subsequently installed platform or by installing a subsea tree.

Large diameter weld-on specialty connectors (threaded or stab type) are used in offshore wells drilled from floating drilling rigs, jack-ups,
fixed platforms, TLPs and Spars. Specialty connectors join lengths of conductor or large diameter (16-inch or greater) casing. Specialty connectors provide a more rapid connection than other methods of connecting lengths of pipe. Connectors may be
sold individually or as an assembly after being welded to sections of Company or customer supplied pipe. Dril-Quips weld-on specialty connectors are



4

##### Table of Contents

designed to prevent cross threading and provide a quick, convenient method of joining casing joints with structural integrity compatible with casing
strength.

A subsea production tree is an assembly composed of valves, a
wellhead connector, control equipment and various other components installed on a subsea wellhead or a mudline hanger system and used to control the flow of oil and gas from a producing well. Subsea trees may be either stand alone satellite type or
template mounted cluster arrangements. Both types typically produce via flowlines to a central control point located on a platform, TLP, Spar or FPSO. The use of subsea production trees has become an increasingly important method for producing wells
located in hard-to-reach deepwater areas or economically marginal fields located in shallower waters. The Company is an established manufacturer of more complicated dual-bore production trees, which are used in severe service applications. In
addition, Dril-Quip manufactures a patented single bore (SingleBoreTM) subsea completion system which features a hydraulic mechanism instead of a
wireline-installed mechanism that allows the operator to plug the tubing hanger annulus remotely from the surface via a hydraulic control line and subsequently unplug it when the well is put on production. This mechanism eliminates the need for an
expensive multibore installation and workover riser, thereby saving both cost and installation time. Dril-Quips guidelineless subsea production tree is used in ultra-deepwater applications. This tree features remote multiple flowline and
control connections, utilizing remotely operated intervention tools. The Companys subsea production trees are generally custom designed and manufactured to customer specifications.

Aliner hanger is used to hang-off and seal casing into a previously installed casing string in the well bore, and can provide a means of tying
back the liner for production to surface. Dril-Quip has developed a state-of-the-art liner hanger system and has installed its liner hangers in a number of difficult well applications, resulting in improved industry recognition and market
opportunities.

Asubsea control system is used to remotely control the operations of subsea production equipment such as subsea
trees and/or manifolds. The subsea control system utilizes a signal on power communications system that controls a satellite subsea tree and manifold, and was designed with expansion capability to allow additional wells to be connected
at a later date.

Asubsea manifold is a structure located on the ocean floor consisting of valves, chokes, flowline connections and
a control module used to collect and control the flow of oil and gas from subsea wells for delivery to a terminal.

Surface
Equipment. Surface equipment is principally used for flow control on offshore production platforms, TLPs and Spars. Included in the Companys surface equipment product line are platform wellheads and platform production
trees. Dril-Quips development of platform wellheads and platform production trees was facilitated by adaptation of its existing subsea wellhead and tree technology to surface wellheads and trees.

Platform wellheads are pressure-containing forged and machined metal housings in which casing hangers are landed and sealed at the platform deck
to suspend casings. The Company emphasizes the use of metal-to-metal sealing wellhead systems with operational time-saving features which can be used in high pressure, high temperature and corrosive drilling and production applications.

After installation of a wellhead,a platform production tree, consisting of gate valves, a wellhead connector, controls, tree cap and
associated equipment, is installed on the wellhead to control and regulate oil or gas production. Platform production trees are similar to subsea production trees but utilize less complex equipment and more manual, rather than hydraulically
activated, valves and connectors. Platform wellheads and platform production trees and associated equipment are designed and manufactured in accordance with customer specifications.

Offshore Rig Equipment. Offshore rig equipment includes drilling and completion riser systems, wellhead connectors and
diverters. The drilling riser system consists of (i) lengths of riser pipe and associated riser



5

##### Table of Contents

connectors that secure one to another; (ii) the telescopic joint, which connects the entire drilling riser system to the diverter at the rig and
provides a means to compensate for vertical motion of the rig relative to the ocean floor; and (iii) the wellhead connector, which provides a means for remote connection and disconnection of the drilling riser system to and from the blowout
preventer stack. Completion risers provide a vertical conduit from the subsea wellhead to a TLP, Spar or FPSO. The wellhead connector also provides remote connection/disconnection of the blowout preventer stack, production tree or
production riser to/from the wellhead. Diverters are used to provide protection from shallow gas blowouts and to divert gases off of the rig during the drilling operation.

Wellhead connectors and drilling and production riser systems are also used on both TLPs and Spars, which are being installed more frequently in
deepwater applications. The principal markets for offshore rig equipment are new rigs, rig upgrades, TLPs and Spars. Diverters, drilling and production risers and wellhead connectors are generally designed and manufactured to customer
specifications.

Certain products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that
can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by
insurance could have a material adverse effect on the financial conditions and results of operations.

Services

Services provided by Dril-Quip include technical advisory services, reconditioning of its products which are customer-owned, and rental of running tools
for installation and retrieval of its products. These services are provided from the Companys worldwide locations and represented approximately 16% of revenues in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Technical Advisory. Dril-Quip does not install products for its customers, but provides technical advisory assistance to the customer, if
requested, in the installation of its products. The customer is not obligated to utilize these services and may use its own personnel or a third party to perform these services. Technical advisory services performed by the Company are negotiated and
sold separately from the Companys products. These services are not a prerequisite to the sale of the Companys products as its products are fully functional on a stand alone basis. The Companys technicians provide assistance in the
onsite installation of the Companys products and are available on a 24-hour call out from the Companys facilities located in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Singapore; Perth, Australia; and Macae,
Brazil.

Reconditioning. The Company provides reconditioning of its products at its facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen,
Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Singapore; and Macae, Brazil. The Company does not service, repair or recondition its competitors products.

Rental. The Company rents running and installation tools for use in installing its products. These tools are used to install and retrieve the Companys products which are purchased by customers. Rental or purchase of
running tools is not a condition of the sale of the Companys products and are contracted for separately from product sales and other services offered by the Company. Running tools are available from Dril-Quips locations in Houston,
Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Stavanger, Norway; Esbjerg, Denmark; Beverwijk, Holland; Singapore; Perth, Australia; Tianjin, China; and Macae, Brazil.

Manufacturing

Dril-Quip has major manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland; Macae, Brazil; and
Singapore. Each location conducts a broad variety of processes, including machining, fabrication, inspection,



6

##### Table of Contents

assembly and testing. The Houston facility provides forged and heat treated products to all the major manufacturing facilities.

The Companys Houston, Aberdeen and Singapore manufacturing plants are ISO 9001 and American Petroleum Institute certified. See
PropertiesMajor Manufacturing Facilities. Dril-Quip maintains its high standards of product quality through the use of quality assurance specialists who work with product manufacturing personnel throughout the manufacturing process
by inspecting and documenting equipment as it is processed through the Companys manufacturing facilities. The Company has the capability to manufacture various products from each of its product lines at its major manufacturing facilities and
believes that this localized manufacturing capability is essential in order to compete with the Companys major competitors.

The
Companys manufacturing process is vertically integrated, producing in house, a majority of its forging requirements and essentially all of its heat treatment, machining, fabrication, inspection, assembly and testing. The Companys primary
raw material is cast steel ingots, from which it produces steel shaped forgings at its forging and heat treatment facility. The Company routinely purchases steel ingots from approximately five suppliers on a purchase order basis and does not have
any long-term supply contracts. The Companys Houston facility provides forgings and heat treatment for its Aberdeen, Macae and Singapore facilities. The Companys major competitors depend on outside sources for all or a substantial
portion of their forging and heat treatment requirements. The Company has made significant capital investments in developing its vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Prolonged periods of low demand in the market for offshore drilling and
production equipment could have a greater effect on the Company than on certain of its competitors that have not made such large capital investments in their facilities.

Dril-Quips manufacturing facilities utilize state-of-the-art computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools and equipment, which contribute to the Companys product quality and timely
delivery. The Company has also developed a cost effective, in-house machine tool rebuild capability which produces like new machine upgrades with customized features to enhance the economic manufacture of its specialized products. The
Company purchases quality used machine tools as they become available and stores them at its facilities to be rebuilt and upgraded as the need arises. Rebuilding used machine tools allows for greater customization suitable for manufacturing
Dril-Quip proprietary product lines. This provides the added advantage of requiring only in-house expertise for repairs and maintenance of these machines. A significant portion of the Companys manufacturing capacity growth has been through the
rebuild/upgrade of quality used machine tools, including the replacement of outdated control systems with state-of-the-art CNC controls.

Customers

The Companys principal customers are major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies. Offshore
drilling contractors and engineering and construction companies also represent a minor customer base. The Companys customers are generally oil and gas companies that are well-known participants in offshore exploration and production.

The Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers. In 2006 and 2007, the Companys top 15 customers represented
approximately 61% and 51%, respectively of total revenues, with no customer accounting for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues. In 2008, the Companys top 15 customers represented approximately 45% of total revenues, with no
customer accounting for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues. The number and variety of the Companys products required in a given year by any one customer depends upon the amount of that customers capital expenditure budget
devoted to offshore exploration and production and on the results of competitive bids for major projects. Consequently, a customer that accounts for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues
in subsequent years. While the Company is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of its significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on the Companys results of
operations.

Backlog

Backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase order has been received, satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. The Companys revenues for a specific period have not been directly
related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Companys backlog was approximately $336 million and $429 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, compared to $603 million at December 31, 2008, an
increase of $267 million and $174 million or 79% and 41%, respectively. This increase in backlog was primarily due to continued demand for the Companys products. The Company expects to fill approximately 65% of the December 31, 2008
backlog by December 31, 2009. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2008 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. Our reported backlog at
December 31, 2008 excludes $27 million related to the MPF contract discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company can give no assurance that backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of the Companys products are affected by prices for oil and natural gas, which fluctuated significantly between 2005 and today. Additional future
declines in oil and natural gas prices could reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in the Companys future backlog. All of the Companys projects currently included in its backlog are subject to change and/or termination
at the option of the customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination. In the past, terminations and
cancellations have not been significant to the Companys overall operating results.

Marketing and Sales

Dril-Quip markets its products and services throughout the world directly through its sales personnel in two domestic and fifteen international locations.
In addition, in certain foreign markets where the Company does not maintain offices, it utilizes independent sales representatives to enhance its marketing and sales efforts. Some of the locations in which Dril-Quip has sales representatives are
India, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Japan, and the Middle East. Although they do not have authority to contractually bind the Company, these representatives market the Companys products in their
respective territories in return for sales commissions. The Company also advertises its products and services in trade and technical publications targeted to its customer base. The Company also participates in industry conferences and trade shows to
enhance industry awareness of its products.

The Companys customers generally order products on a purchase order basis. Orders are
typically filled within three to six months after receipt of a purchase order, depending on the type of product and whether it is sold out of inventory or requires some customization. Contracts for certain of the Companys larger, more complex
products, such as subsea production trees, drilling risers and equipment for TLPs and Spars can take a year or more to complete.

The
primary factors influencing a customers decision to purchase the Companys products are the quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price and technologically superior features. Timely delivery of equipment is also very
important to customer operations and the Company maintains an experienced sales coordination staff to help assure such delivery. For large drilling and production system orders, project management teams coordinate customer needs with engineering,
manufacturing and service organizations, as well as with subcontractors and vendors.

A portion of the Companys business consists of
designing, manufacturing and selling equipment, as well as offering technical advisory assistance during installation of the equipment, for major projects pursuant to competitive bids. The number of such projects in any year fluctuates. The
Companys profitability on such projects is critically dependent on making accurate and cost effective bids and performing efficiently in



8

##### Table of Contents

accordance with bid specifications. Various factors can adversely affect the Companys performance on individual projects, with potential material
adverse effects on project profitability.

Product Development and Engineering

The technological demands of the oil and gas industry continue to increase as offshore exploration and drilling expand into more hostile environments.
Conditions encountered in these environments include well pressures of up to 15,000 psi (pounds per square inch), mixed flows of oil and gas under high pressure that may also be highly corrosive and water depths in excess of 10,000 feet. Since its
founding, Dril-Quip has actively engaged in continuing product development to generate new products and improve existing products. When developing new products, the Company typically seeks to design the most technologically advanced version for a
particular application to establish its reputation and qualification in that product. Thereafter, the Company leverages its expertise in the more technologically advanced product to produce less costly and complex versions of the product for less
demanding applications. The Company also focuses its activities on reducing the overall cost to the customer, which includes not only the initial capital cost but also operating and installation costs associated with its products.

The Company has continually introduced new products and product enhancements since its founding in
1981. In the 1990s, the Company introduced a series of new products, including diverters, wellhead connectors, SingleBoreTMsubsea trees, improved
severe service dual bore subsea trees, subsea and platform valves, platform wellheads, platform trees, subsea tree workover riser systems, drilling risers and TLP and Spar production riser systems. Since the year 2000, Dril-Quip has introduced
multiple new products including liner hangers, subsea control systems and subsea manifolds.

Dril-Quips product development work is
conducted at its facilities in Houston, Texas and Aberdeen, Scotland. In addition to the work of its product development staff, the Companys application engineering staff provides engineering services to customers in connection with the design
and sales of its products. The Companys ability to develop new products and maintain technological advantages is important to its future success. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop new products, successfully
differentiate itself from its competitors or adapt to evolving markets and technologies.

The Company believes that the success of its
business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing product development and manufacturing activities,
Dril-Quips policy has been to seek patents when appropriate on inventions concerning new products and product improvements. All patent rights for products developed by employees are assigned to the Company and almost all of the Companys
products have components that are covered by patents.

Dril-Quip has numerous U.S.
registered trademarks, including Dril-Quip®, Quik-Thread®, Quick-Stab®, Multi-Thread® , MS-15®, SS-15®,
SS-10® and SU-90®. The Company has registered its trademarks in the countries where such registration is deemed material.

Although in the aggregate the Companys patents and trademarks are of
considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except the Dril-Quip® trademark. The Company also relies on trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees
and suppliers. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information or otherwise gain access to the Companys trade secrets.

Competition

Dril-Quip faces significant competition from other manufacturers and suppliers of
exploration and production equipment. Several of its primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with



9



---

##### Table of Contents

substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than those of the Company and which, in many instances, have been engaged in the
manufacturing business for a much longer period of time than the Company. The Company competes principally with Vetco Gray, a GE oil and gas business, and the petroleum production equipment segments of Cameron International Corporation, FMC
Technologies, Inc. and Aker Kvaerner.

Because of their relative size and diversity of products, several of the Companys competitors
have the ability to provide turnkey services for offshore drilling and production applications, which enables them to use their own products to the exclusion of Dril-Quips products. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsWe may be
unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment. The Company also competes to a lesser extent with a number of other companies in various products. The principal competitive factors in the petroleum
drilling and production equipment markets are quality, reliability and reputation of the product, price, technology, service and timely delivery.

Employees

The total number of the Companys employees as of December 31, 2008 was 2,051. Of these, 1,230 were
located in the United States. Substantially all of the Companys employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.

The Companys operations depend in part on its ability to attract quality employees. While the Company believes that its wage and salary rates are
competitive and that its relationship with its labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages and salaries paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of the Companys labor force, increases in the wage and salary rates
paid by the Company or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by the Company from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, the production capacity and profitability of the Company could
be diminished and the growth potential of the Company could be impaired. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsLoss of our key management or other personnel could adversely impact our business.

Governmental Regulations

Many aspects of the
Companys operations are affected by political developments and are subject to both domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those relating to oilfield operations, worker safety and the protection of the environment. In
addition, the Company depends on the demand for its services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry in general, including those
specifically directed to offshore operations. The adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely affect the Companys operations by limiting
demand for the Companys products. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur operations and our customers operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our
products and services or restrict our operations.

In recent years, increased concern has been raised over the protection of the
environment. Offshore drilling in certain areas has been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. To the extent that new laws or other governmental actions prohibit or restrict offshore drilling or impose
additional environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the offshore drilling industry in particular, the business of the Company could be adversely affected. The Company cannot
determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur business and our customers businesses are subject to
environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.

Based on the Companys experience to date, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or consolidated financial position as a result of future compliance with existing



10

##### Table of Contents

environmental laws and regulations controlling the discharge of materials into the environment. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and
regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material.

In this
Item 1A, the terms we, our, us, and Dril-Quip used herein refer to Dril-Quip, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or as the context so requires.

Our principal stockholders have the ability to significantly influence our management and affairs and matters on which shareholders may vote.

Our principal stockholders, Larry E. Reimert, Gary D. Smith and J. Mike Walker and certain entities they control, beneficially own
approximately 25% of our common stock and are able to exert significant control over us. The collective ownership of Messrs. Reimert, Smith and Walker may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control. In addition, our principal
stockholders are generally not prohibited from selling their interest in us to a third party.

A material or extended decline in
expenditures by the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.

Our business depends upon the condition of
the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production operations offshore. The level of capital expenditures is generally dependent on the
prevailing view of future oil and gas prices, which are influenced by numerous factors affecting the supply and demand for oil and gas, including:



| |  |  | worldwide economic activity;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | the level of exploration and production activity;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interest rates and the cost of capital;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | environmental regulation;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | federal, state and foreign policies regarding exploration and development of oil and gas;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to set and maintain production levels and pricing;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of exploring and producing oil and gas;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of developing alternative energy sources;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the sale and expiration dates of offshore leases in the United States and overseas;

| |  |  | weather conditions.
| | - |  | -------------------

Oil and gas
prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have been characterized by significant volatility in recent years. Worldwide military, political and economic events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are
likely to continue to do so in the future. Although hydrocarbon prices improved in recent years until mid-2008 and the level of offshore exploration, drilling and production activity increased during that period, we cannot assure you that such price
and activity levels will be sustained and that there will not be continued volatility in the level of drilling and production related activities. Even during periods



11



---

##### Table of Contents

of high prices for oil and natural gas, companies exploring for oil and gas may cancel or curtail programs, or reduce their levels of capital expenditures
for exploration and production for a variety of reasons. In addition, a significant and prolonged decline in hydrocarbon prices would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The global financial crisis may have impacts on our business and financial condition that we currently cannot predict.

The continued credit crisis and related turmoil in the global financial system may have an impact on our business and our financial condition. The current
uncertainty and turmoil in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability of our customers to finance purchases of our products and services and could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, orders included in our backlog or adversely
affect the collectability of our receivables. If the crisis reduces the availability of credit to our customers, they may reduce their drilling and production expenditures, thereby decreasing demand for our products and services, which could have a
negative impact on our financial condition. Additionally, the current economic situation could have an impact on our suppliers, causing them to be unable to meet their obligations to us. Although we do not currently anticipate a need to access the
credit markets in the short term, a prolonged constriction on future lending by banks or investors could result in higher interest rates on future debt obligations or could restrict our ability to obtain sufficient financing to meet our long-term
operational and capital needs.

Our international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions
and other risks inherent to international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

We have substantial international operations, with approximately 65%, 69% and 69% of our revenues derived from foreign sales in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. We operate our business and market our products and services in all
of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and are, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. Risks associated with our international operations include:



| |  |  | volatility in general economic, social and political conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | terrorist acts, war and civil disturbances;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expropriation or nationalization of assets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

| | - |  | -----------------------------------

Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture products abroad or the demand for our products and services in some locations. To date, we have not experienced any significant problems in foreign countries
arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of our international operations could have a material adverse effect on our overall operations.

We are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions and there are inherent uncertainties in the final
determination of our tax liabilities.

As a result of our international operations, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions.
Therefore, the final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of the statutes and requirements of taxing authorities worldwide. Foreign income tax returns of foreign subsidiaries and related entities are routinely examined by
foreign tax authorities. These tax examinations may result in assessments of additional taxes or penalties or both. Please see Item 3. Legal Proceedings for a description of our current dispute regarding a tax assessment in Brazil.

Our excess cash is invested in various financial instruments which may subject us to potential losses.

We invest excess cash in various financial instruments including interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S.
Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements backed by Treasury obligations. However, changes in the financial markets, including interest rates, as well as the performance of the issuers, can affect the market value of our short-term investments.

We may suffer losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations and limitations on the ability to repatriate income or capital to the
U.S.

We conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the United States dollar, and our operations are subject to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect the Company against such fluctuations in the future. Historically, we have not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings.
However, as we expand our international operations, we may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, we cannot assure you that the countries in which we currently operate will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of
earnings in the future.

Our business involves numerous operating hazards that may not be covered by insurance. The occurrence of an
event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.

Our
products are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion and production applications that can cause personal injury, product liability and environmental claims. A catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and/or services are
used may expose us to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability or commercial claims. To the extent available, we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is customary in the industry. Such insurance does not,
however, provide coverage for all liabilities, and we cannot assure you that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover claims that may arise or that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates we consider reasonable. The
occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.

A portion of our business consists of the designing,
manufacturing and selling of our equipment for major projects pursuant to competitive bids, and is performed on a fixed-price basis. Under these contracts, we are typically responsible for all cost overruns, other than the amount of any cost
overruns resulting from requested changes in order specifications. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts will often vary from the estimated amounts on which these contracts were originally based. This may
occur for various reasons, including:



| |  |  | errors in estimates or bidding;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in availability and cost of labor and materials; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | variations in productivity from our original estimates.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

These variations and the risks inherent in our projects may result in reduced profitability or losses on
projects. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Our business could be adversely affected if we do not develop new products and secure and retain patents related to our products.

Technology is an important component of our business and growth strategy, and our success as a company depends to a significant extent on the development and implementation of new product designs and improvements.
Whether we can continue to develop systems and services and related technologies to meet evolving industry requirements and, if so, at prices acceptable to our customers will be significant factors in determining our ability to compete in the
industry in which we operate. Many of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have significantly greater financial resources than we have, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new
systems, services and technologies than we are able to do.

Our ability to compete effectively will also depend on our ability to continue
to obtain patents on our proprietary technology and products. Although we do not consider any single patent to be material to our business as a whole, the inability to protect our future innovations through patents could have a material adverse
effect.

We may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of percentage-of-completion accounting.

Revenues and profits on long-term project contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method. We calculate the percent
complete and apply the percentage to determine revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Accordingly, purchase order price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate
to the percentage complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current
earnings, which could be significant depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.

Loss of our key management or other
personnel could adversely impact our business.

We depend on the services of our executive management team, Larry E. Reimert, Gary D.
Smith and J. Mike Walker. The loss of any of these officers could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. In addition, competition for skilled machinists, fabricators and technical personnel among companies
that rely heavily on engineering and technology is intense, and the loss of qualified employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder
our ability to conduct research activities successfully and develop and produce marketable products and services. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increases in
the wage rates paid by us or both. If either of these events were to occur, in the near-term, the profits realized by us from work in progress would be reduced and, in the long-term, our production capacity and profitability could be diminished and
our growth potential could be impaired.

Our operations and our customers operations are subject to a variety of governmental laws
and regulations that may increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.

Our business
and our customers businesses may be significantly affected by:



| |  |  | federal, state and local and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the oilfield operations, worker safety and the protection of the environment;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14

| |  |  | changes in these laws and regulations; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the level of enforcement of these laws and regulations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we depend on the demand for our products and services from the oil and gas industry. This demand is affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas
industry in general, including those specifically directed to offshore operations. For example, the adoption of laws and regulations curtailing exploration and development drilling for oil and gas for economic or other policy reasons could adversely
affect our operations by limiting demand for our products. We cannot determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations.

Because of our foreign operations and sales, we are also subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require hiring of local
contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, our business, results of operations or financial condition may be
adversely affected.

Our businesses and our customers businesses are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may
increase our costs, limit the demand for our products and services or restrict our operations.

Our operations and the operations of our
customers are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These environmental laws and regulations affect the products and services we design, market and sell, as well as the
facilities where we manufacture our products. In addition, environmental laws and regulations could limit our customers exploration and production activities. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with
environmental laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. These laws and regulations change frequently, which makes it impossible for us to predict their cost or impact on our future operations.
The modification of existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations imposing more stringent environmental restrictions could adversely affect our operations.

These laws may provide for strict liability for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable
for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties, and criminal prosecution. Some
environmental laws and regulations provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of
alleged exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. These laws and regulations also may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for our acts that were in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations at the time such acts were performed. Any of these laws and regulations could result in claims, fines or expenditures that could be material to results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

We may be unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers of drilling and production equipment.

Several of our primary competitors are diversified multinational companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than
ours and which have been engaged in the manufacturing business for a much longer time than us. If these competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to developing and marketing competitive products and services, we may not be able to
compete effectively. Similarly, consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product and service offerings and financial resources, further intensifying competition.

The loss of a significant customer could have an adverse impact on our financial results.

Our principal customers are major integrated oil and gas companies, large independent oil and gas companies and foreign national oil and gas companies.
Offshore drilling contractors and engineering and

construction companies also represent a portion of our customer base. In 2007, our top 15 customers represented approximately 51% of total revenues, with no
customer accounting for more than 10% of our total revenues. In 2008, our top 15 customers represented approximately 45% of total revenues, with no customer accounting for more than 10% of our total revenues. While we are not dependent on any one
customer or group of customers, the loss of one or more of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our customers industries are undergoing continuing consolidation that may impact our results of operations.

The oil and gas industry is rapidly consolidating and, as a result, some of our largest customers have consolidated and are using their size and
purchasing power to seek economies of scale and pricing concessions. This consolidation may result in reduced capital spending by some of our customers or the acquisition of one or more of our primary customers, which may lead to decreased demand
for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our level of sales to a customer that has consolidated or replace that revenue with increased business activity with other customers. As a result, the acquisition
of one or more of our primary customers may have a significant negative impact on our results of operations or our financial condition. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations in the industry may have on price, capital spending by our
customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers.

Increases in the cost of raw materials and energy used in our manufacturing processes could negatively impact our profitability.

Any increases in commodity prices for items such as nickel, molybdenum and heavy metal scrap that are used to make the steel alloys required for our products would result in an increase in our raw material costs.
Similarly, any increase in energy costs would increase our product costs. If we are not successful in raising our prices on products to compensate for any increased raw material or energy costs, our margins will be negatively impacted.

We depend on third party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, and our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are
unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.

Our manufacturing operations depend upon obtaining adequate supplies of raw
materials from third parties. The ability of these third parties to deliver raw materials may be affected by events beyond our control. Any interruption in the supply of raw materials needed to manufacture our products could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and reputation with our customers.

Our shares that are eligible for future sale may have an adverse
effect on the price of our common stock.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or a perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. This risk is compounded by the fact that a substantial portion of our common stock is
owned by Messrs. Reimert, Smith and Walker and certain entities they control. Messrs. Reimert, Smith and Walker and certain entities they control have piggyback and demand registration rights that provide for the registration of the resale of shares
at our expense which will allow those shares to be sold in the public market generally without restriction.

The market price of our
common stock is volatile.

The trading price of our common stock and the price at which we may sell common stock in the future are
subject to large fluctuations in response to any of the following:



| |  |  | limited trading volume in our common stock;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | quarterly variations in operating results;

|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

In 2006,
the Company entered into a contract in the amount of approximately $47 million with MPF Corp. Ltd. (MPF) under which the Company was to construct risers and related equipment to be installed on an offshore drill ship being constructed
for MPF. MPF and its affiliates filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in September 2008 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Under the Bankruptcy Code, at some point MPF must either assume this
contract or reject it. Since MPF is not required to make a decision on the handling of the contract right away, we cannot assure you when our rights under the contract will be clarified. Currently, the Company has possession of all the raw materials
purchased to date and work-in-progress under the contract. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, the Company had recognized approximately $20 million in revenues under the contract and had received payments of approximately $16 million. No further
revenue has been recognized since the second quarter of 2008. The Company believes the remaining $4 million of unpaid receivables will be realized through the workings of the contract or through its interest in the partially constructed inventory.
While the Company has made filings in the bankruptcy proceedings that it believes are appropriate to protect its rights, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to receive the expected benefits of the contract with MPF. While the
Company does not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows, the Company may be required to write down or forfeit some portion of the revenues recognized to
date if it becomes probable that the Company will not receive such funds.

In August 2007, our Brazilian subsidiary was served with
assessments collectively valued at approximately $12.8 million from the State of Rio de Janiero, Brazil, to collect a state tax on the importation of goods. We believe that our subsidiary is not liable for the taxes and are vigorously contesting the
assessments in the Brazilian administrative and judicial systems. At this time, the ultimate disposition of this matter cannot presently be determined and therefore, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or the range of
possible losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of these assessments. Accordingly, no

##### Table of Contents

liability has been accrued in conjunction with this matter. We do not expect the liability, if any, resulting from these assessments to have a material
adverse effect on the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows.

On December 1, 2006, Cameron International
Corporation (Cameron) filed a patent infringement suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint asserts that the Company has infringed and continues to infringe on certain of
Camerons patents related to horizontal spool tree technology. The Company denies any liability. To date, the Company has not sold any horizontal spool trees. Cameron seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages, including attorneys
fees. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of this matter, in the opinion of management the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations,
financial position or cash flows.

The Company also is involved in a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.
Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations,
financial position or cash flows.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected certain aspects of the Companys
financial position, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto presented elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

Dril-Quip designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered offshore drilling and production equipment that is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. The Company
designs and manufactures subsea equipment, surface equipment and offshore rig equipment for use by major integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. The Companys principal
products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production trees, subsea control systems and manifolds, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, liner hangers,
wellhead connectors and diverters. Dril-Quip also provides technical advisory services on an as-requested basis during installation of its products, as well as rework and reconditioning services and rental of running and installation tools for use
in connection with the installation and retrieval of its products.

Both the market for offshore drilling and production equipment and
services and the Companys business are substantially dependent on the condition of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, the willingness of oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration, drilling and production
operations offshore. Oil and gas prices and the level of offshore drilling and production activity have historically been characterized by significant volatility. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsA material or extended decline in expenditures by
the oil and gas industry could significantly reduce our revenue and income.

According to the Energy Information Administration
(EIA) of the U.S. Department of Energy, oil (West Texas Intermediate Cushing Crude Oil) and natural gas (Henry Hub Natural Gas) prices are listed below as averages of the daily closing prices for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008:



|                        |  |                        |       |      |   |       |  |   |

|Oil ($/Bbl)             |  | $                      | 66.02 |      | $ | 72.32 |  | $ | 99.57
|Natural gas ($/per Mcf) |  |                        | 6.94  |      |   | 7.18  |  |   | 9.13 

In mid July 2008, oil prices spiked to $145.16 per barrel and ended the year in 2008 at $44.60 per
barrel. Additionally, by the end of December 2008, gas prices had declined to $5.48 per Mcf. These declines in hydrocarbon prices have adversely affected the willingness of some oil and gas companies to make capital expenditures on exploration,
drilling and production operations offshore, which could have an adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

According to the January and February 2009 release of the Short-Term Energy Outlook published by the EIA, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices are projected to average $43.14 per barrel in 2009 and $54.50 in 2010.
In January 2009, the EIA projected Henry Hub gas prices to average $5.78 per Mcf in 2009 and increase to an average of $6.63 per Mcf in 2010. In February 2009 EIA lowered the expectation to $5.01 per Mcf in 2009 and $5.93 per Mcf in 2010. The EIA
further predicted OPEC crude oil production to average 30.0 million barrels per day in 2009 and 30.7 million barrels per day in 2010. This estimate was revised downward in February 2009

to 29.4 million barrels per day in 2009 and 30.1 million barrels per day in 2010. In the January 2009 Oil Market Report, the International Energy Agency
projected oil demand in 2009 to be 85.3 million barrels per day, compared to an estimated 85.8 million barrels per day in 2008. In February 2009 the International Energy Agency revised the oil demand in 2009 downward to 84.7 million barrels per day.

Detailed below is the average contracted rig count for our geographic regions for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
The rig count data includes floating rigs (semi-submersibles and drill ships) and jack-ups. We have included only these types of rigs as they are the primary end users of our products.

The table represents rigs under contract and includes rigs currently drilling as well as rigs
committed, but not yet drilling. Since mid-2008 the number of active offshore rigs has declined.

We believe that the number of rigs
(semi-submersibles, jack-ups and drill ships) under construction impacts our revenue because our customers generally order some of our products during the construction of such rigs. As a result, an increase in rig construction activity tends to
favorably impact our backlog. According to ODS-Petrodata, at the end of December 2006 and 2007, there were 112 and 156 rigs under construction, respectively, compared to 172 at the end of December 2008, which represents an increase of 53.5% and
10.3%, respectively.

Due to the significant increase in the oil and gas activity over the past several years, the Company has expanded
facilities in all of its major manufacturing locations in Houston, Texas; Aberdeen, Scotland, Macae, Brazil and Singapore. With limited manufacturing capacity in the past, the Company has had to focus on which projects submitted by customers to
undertake. In making the decision, the Company takes into consideration such factors as manufacturing time, current projects in progress, delivery requirements, projected gross margins, available personnel and availability of material. Based upon
these decisions, it is possible for the Company to have variations between quarters and years based upon product mix.

High oil and gas
prices from 2005 through mid-2008 resulted in oil operators increasing capital spending for both exploration and development programs. As various geopolitical issues have limited the ability of oil and gas companies to invest in certain geographic
areas, such as Russia and the Middle East, an increasing amount of this capital spending has been in the deepwater areas in which the Company operates. However, in mid-2008, oil and gas prices began to decline. This decline has resulted in reduced
capital spending by some oil and gas companies and may result in additional reductions in capital spending.

The Company operates its
business and markets its products and services in all of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risks customarily attendant to international operations and investments in foreign countries. These
risks include nationalization, expropriation, war, acts of terrorism and civil disturbance, restrictive action by local governments, limitation on repatriation of earnings, change in foreign tax laws and change in currency exchange rates, any of
which could have an adverse effect on either the Companys ability to manufacture its products in its facilities abroad or the demand in certain regions for the Companys products or both. To date, the Company has not experienced any
significant problems in foreign countries arising from local government actions or political instability, but there is no assurance that such problems will not arise in the future. Interruption of the Companys international operations could
have a material adverse effect on its overall operations. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsOur international operations expose us to instability and changes in economic and political conditions and other risks inherent to international business,
which could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

##### Table of Contents

Dril-Quips revenues are generated from two sources: products and services. Product revenues are
derived from the sale of offshore drilling and production equipment. Service revenues are earned when the Company provides technical advisory service for installation of the Companys products, reconditioning services and rental of running
tools for installation and retrieval of its products. In 2008, the Company derived 84% of its revenues from the sale of its products and 16% of its revenues from services. Service revenues generally correlate to revenues from product sales because
increased product sales normally generate increased revenues from technical advisory services during installation and rental of running tools. The Company has substantial international operations, with approximately 65%, 69% and 69% of its revenues
derived from foreign sales in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Generally, the Company attempts to raise its prices as its costs
increase. However, the actual pricing of the Companys products and services is impacted by a number of factors, including competitive pricing pressure, the level of utilized capacity in the oil service sector, maintenance of market share, the
introduction of new products and general market conditions.

The Company accounts for larger and more complex projects that have relatively
longer manufacturing time frames on a percentage-of-completion basis. During 2006 and 2007, 10 and 16 projects, respectively representing approximately 12% and 19%, of the Companys total revenues were accounted for using the
percentage-of-completion accounting. During 2008, 23 projects representing approximately 25% of the Companys total revenue and 30% of the Companys product revenues were accounted for using percentage-of-completion accounting. This
percentage may fluctuate in the future. Revenues accounted for in this manner are generally recognized based upon a calculation of the percentage complete which is used to determine the revenue earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated
costs. Accordingly, price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percent complete are reflected in the period when such estimates are revised. Losses, if any, are recognized when
they become known. Amounts received from customers in excess of revenues recognized are classified as a current liability. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsWe may be required to recognize a charge against current earnings because of
percentage-of-completion accounting.

Year ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Revenues. Revenues increased by $47.2 million, or approximately 9.5%, to $542.8 million in 2008 from $495.6 million in 2007. Product
revenues increased by approximately $35.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 as a result of increased revenues of $41.3 million in offshore rig equipment and $1.5 million in subsea equipment offset
by a $7.5 million decrease in surface equipment. The increase in offshore rig equipment was primarily due to the increase in the number of long-term projects. During 2007 there were 16 projects, compared to 23 projects during 2008 and the majority
of these projects related to offshore rig equipment. Of the Companys total product revenues, product revenues increased in the Western Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific by $26.5 million, $6.0 million and $2.8 million,
respectively. Service revenues increased by approximately $11.9 million from increased service revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $4.8 million, Eastern Hemisphere of $2.0 million Asia-Pacific of $5.1 million. The majority of the increases in
service revenues related to an increase in technical advisory assistance and reconditioning services.

Cost of Sales.Cost of
sales increased by $27.0 million, or approximately 9.5%, to $312.3 million for 2008 from $285.3 million for the same period in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 57.6% in 2007 and 57.5% in 2008. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue remained relatively consistent between 2007 and 2008. The increase in cost of sales in 2008 as compared to 2007 is basically consistent with the increase in revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.For 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $13.1
million, or 26.6%, to $62.4 million from $49.3 million in 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were due to increased labor and overhead expenses resulting from increased staffing levels in the areas of sales and
administration, increases in legal and professional fees, stock option expenses and the effect of foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The Company experienced approximately $3.0 million in pre-tax foreign currency transaction gains during
2007 versus approximately $2.1 million in pre-tax foreign currency transaction losses during 2008. The loss in 2008 is primarily due to the increasing strength of the U.S. dollar in the later part of 2008 as compared to the Brazilian real. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.9% in 2007 and 11.5% in 2008.

Engineering and Product
Development Expenses.For 2008, engineering and product development expenses increased by $3.8 million, or approximately 16.8%, to approximately $26.4 million from $22.6 million in 2007. This increase was due primarily to an increase in
personnel and associated operating expenses. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 4.6% in 2007 to 4.9% in 2008.

Interest Income. Interest income for 2008 was $3.5 million as compared to $8.3 million in 2007. This decrease was due to a reduction in interest earned on short-term investments caused by lower interest rates
and reduced balances in short-term investments. Due to the global financial crisis, the Company has transferred the

majority of its short-term investments to funds which invest in U.S. Treasury obligations, which normally earn lower interest rates than money market funds.
Short-term investment balances declined primarily as a result of expenditures of $100 million related to the Companys share repurchase program.

Interest expense. Interest expense for 2008 was $182,000 compared to $370,000 in 2007.

Income
tax provision. Income tax expense for 2008 was $39.4 million on income before taxes of $145.0 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 27.2%. Income tax expense in 2007 was $38.3 million on income before
taxes of $146.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 26.2%. In the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company benefited from a foreign development tax incentive which resulted in a reduction in income taxes of approximately $4.7
million.

Net Income.Net income was approximately $105.6 million in 2008 and $107.9 million in 2007, for the reasons set forth
above.

Year ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

Revenues. Revenues increased by $52.9 million, or approximately 11.9%, to $495.6 million in 2007 from $442.7 million in 2006. Product revenues
increased by approximately $45.5 million for 2007 as compared to 2006 as a result of increased revenues of $58.9 million in offshore rig equipment and $7.5 million in surface equipment offset by a decrease of $20.9 million in subsea equipment. The
increase in offshore rig equipment was primarily due to the increase in the number of long-term projects. During 2006 there were 10 projects, compared to 16 projects during 2007 and the majority of these projects related to offshore rig equipment.
On a geographic basis, product revenues increased in the Western Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific by $12.7 million, $12.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively. Service revenues increased by approximately $7.4 million from increased
service revenues in the Western Hemisphere of $5.0 million and Eastern Hemisphere of $3.7 million and slightly offset by a decrease in Asia-Pacific of $1.3 million. The majority of the increase in service revenues was due to higher technical
advisory assistance and reconditioning services.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales increased by $28.6 million, or approximately
11.1%, to $285.3 million for 2007 from $256.7 million for the same period in 2006. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales were approximately 57.9% in 2006 and 57.6% in 2007. The reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues resulted
primarily from changes in product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.For 2007, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 11.8%, to $49.3 million from $44.1 million in 2006. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased labor and overhead expenses resulting
from increased staffing levels in the areas of sales and administration and increases in legal and professional fees. The Company experienced approximately $2.2 million in pre-tax foreign currency transaction gains during 2006 versus approximately
$3.0 million in pre-tax foreign currency transaction gains during 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 10.0% in 2006 and 9.9% in 2007.

Engineering and Product Development Expenses.For 2007, engineering and product development expenses increased by $3.0 million, or
approximately 15.3%, to approximately $22.6 million from $19.6 million in 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel and associated operating expenses. Engineering and product development expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased from 4.4% in 2006 to 4.6% in 2007.

Interest Income. Interest income for 2007 was $8.3 million as compared to $3.6 million
in 2006. The increase was due to interest earned on short-term investments resulting from excess cash flows generated.

Interest
expense. Interest expense for 2007 was $370,000 compared to $669,000 in 2006. This decrease was due to the partial pay down of long-term debt and a reduction in commitment fee expenses related to the Companys unsecured revolving line of
credit.

Income tax provision. Income tax expense for 2007 was $38.3 million on income before taxes of
$146.3 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26.2%. Income tax expense in 2006 was $38.5 million on income before taxes of $125.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 30.7%. This decrease in
the effective tax rate reflects a reduction in foreign tax rates resulting from a foreign development tax incentive and increased tax benefits for manufacturing companies located in the United States of America.

Net Income.Net income was approximately $107.9 million in 2007 and $86.9 million in 2006, for the reasons set forth above.

Statements of cash flows for entities with international operations that are local currency
functional exclude the effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during any given year, as these are noncash changes. As a result, changes reflected in certain accounts on the consolidated statements of cash flows may not
reflect the changes in corresponding accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The primary liquidity needs of the Company are
(i) to fund capital expenditures to improve and expand facilities and manufacture additional running tools and (ii) to fund working capital. Recently, the Companys principal sources of funds have been cash flows from operations.

During 2008, the Company generated $40.7 million of cash from operations as compared to $82.7 million for the same period in 2007. The
primary reasons for the decrease were the changes in operating assets and liabilities during 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. Cash totaling approximately $84.5 million was utilized during 2008 to increase operating assets and
liabilities, compared to a $42.3 million increase in operating assets and liabilities during the same period in 2007. The increase in operating assets and liabilities during 2008 primarily reflected an increase of $62.1 million in inventories due to
a $174 million increase in backlog. Customer prepayments, included in trade accounts payable and other accrued expenses, increased over $25 million in 2008 due to the increase in the number of projects. Also, an increase in accounts receivable
of $46.9 million was largely due to increases in unbilled project receivables.

Capital expenditures by the Company were $24.1 million,
$25.2 million and $50.1 million in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2006 and 2007 included expanding manufacturing facilities in the Western Hemisphere and increased expenditures on machinery and equipment and running tools
due to expanded operations. The capital expenditures for 2008 were primarily $16.8 million for machinery and equipment, $20.8 million for facilities and $9.3 million running tools and other expenditures of $3.2 million. Principal payments on
long-term debt were approximately $800,000, $900,000 and $800,000 in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

In May 2008 the Company announced
that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company could repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock. At the end of the third quarter of 2008, the Company had repurchased 1,799,928 shares at an
average price of $55.58 per share (including commissions) for a total of approximately $100 million. All repurchased shares have been retired.

The Company has a credit facility with Guaranty Bank, FSB providing an
unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $10 million. At the option of the Company, borrowing under this facility bears interest at either a rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 1.75% or the Guaranty Bank base rate. The
facility calls for quarterly interest payments and terminates on June 1, 2009. The facility also contains certain covenants including maintaining minimum tangible net worth levels, not exceeding specified funded debt amounts and required
interest coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company had no borrowings under this facility and was in compliance with all loan covenants.

Dril-Quip (Europe) Limited has a credit agreement with the Bank of Scotland dated March 21, 2001 in the original amount of U.K. Pounds Sterling 4.0 million (approximately U.S. $5.8 million). Borrowing
under this facility bears interest at the Bank of Scotland base rate, which was 2.0% at December 31, 2008, plus 1%, and is repayable in 120 equal monthly installments, plus interest. Substantially all of this facility was used to finance
capital expenditures in Norway. The outstanding balance of this facility at December 31, 2007 and 2008 was approximately U.S. $2.7 million and U.S. $1.4 million, respectively. The facility is secured by land and buildings in Aberdeen, Scotland
and contains no restrictive financial covenants.

In addition to the above, the Company has issued purchase orders in the ordinary course
of business for the purchase of goods and services. These purchase orders are enforceable and legally binding. However, none of the Companys purchase obligations call for deliveries of goods or services for time periods in excess of one year.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations plus cash on hand and its current line of credit will be sufficient to fund
operations, working capital needs and anticipated capital expenditure requirements in 2009. However, any significant future declines in hydrocarbon prices could have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity. Should market conditions
result in unexpected cash requirements, the Company believes that additional borrowing from commercial lending institutions would be available and adequate to meet such requirements.

Backlog

Backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase order has been received,
satisfactory credit or financing arrangements exist and delivery is scheduled. The Companys revenues for a specific period have not been directly related to its backlog as stated at a particular point in time. The Companys backlog was



28

##### Table of Contents

approximately $336 million and $429 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, compared to $603 million at December 31, 2008, an increase
of $267 million and $174 million or 79% and 41%, respectively. This increase in backlog is primarily due to the increased oil and gas prices in early 2008. The lead time on many of the projects extends for a year or more and several large projects
were started in 2008. The Company expects to fill approximately 65% of the December 31, 2008 backlog by December 31, 2009. The remaining backlog at December 31, 2008 consists of longer-term projects which are being designed and
manufactured to customer specifications requiring longer lead times. The backlog amount at December 31, 2008 excludes $27 million related to the MPF contract as discussed in Item 3Legal Proceedings.

The Company can give no assurance that backlog will remain at current levels. Sales of the Companys products are affected by prices for oil and
natural gas, which fluctuated significantly between 2005 and mid-2008. Additional future declines in oil and natural gas prices could reduce new customer orders, possibly causing a decline in the Companys future backlog. All of the
Companys projects currently included in its backlog are subject to change and/or termination at the option of the customer. In the case of a change or termination, the customer is required to pay the Company for work performed and other costs
necessarily incurred as a result of the change or termination. In the past, terminations and cancellations have been immaterial to the Companys overall operating results.

Geographic Segments

The Companys operations are organized into three geographic
segmentsWestern Hemisphere (including North and South America and Mexico; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific (including the Pacific Rim,
Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its headquarter locations, as well as
Macae, Brazil.

Revenues for each of these segments are dependent upon the ultimate sale of products and services to the Companys
customers. For information on revenues by geographic segment, see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues of the Western Hemisphere are also influenced by its sale of products to the Eastern Hemisphere and Asia-Pacific
segments. Accordingly, the operating incomes of each area are closely tied to third-party sales, and the operating income of the Western Hemisphere is also dependent upon its level of intercompany sales.

Currency Risk

Through its subsidiaries, the Company
conducts a portion of business in currencies other than the United States dollar, principally the British pound sterling (GBP) in the Eastern Hemisphere and the Brazilian real (BRR) in Brazil. The Company generally attempts
to minimize its currency exchange risk by seeking international contracts payable in local currency in amounts equal to the Companys estimated operating costs payable in local currency and in U.S. dollars for the balance of the contract.
Because of this strategy, the Company has not experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the
Company had, net of income taxes, gains of $1.5 million and $2.2 million, and a loss of $1.5 million, respectively. The gain in 2006 was primarily due to large intercompany receivable balances due to the Company from its U.K. subsidiary, payments on
the intercompany loans recorded at the historical rate, as well as the strengthening of the British pound sterling compared to the U.S. dollar. U.K. intercompany balances were converted to an intercompany loan at the end of September 2006. The GBP
rose as compared to the U.S. dollar from an average of 1.77 in January 2006 to an average rate of 1.96 in December 2006. The gain in 2007 was principally due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar to the Brazilian real on the intercompany payables
between Brazil and the United States. The BRR rose as compared to the U.S. dollar from the average of 0.47 in January 2007 to an average rate of 0.56 in December 2007. The loss in 2008 was primarily due to strengthening of the



29

##### Table of Contents

U.S. dollar compared to the Brazilian real on the intercompany payables between Brazil and the United States. The BRR fell as compared to the U.S. dollar
from an average of 0.59 for the first nine months of 2008 to an average rate of 0.44 for the fourth quarter of 2008.

There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to protect itself against such fluctuations in the future. Historically, the Company has not conducted business in countries that limit repatriation of earnings. However, as the Company expands its international
operations, it may begin operating in countries that have such limitations. Further, there can be no assurance that the countries in which the Company currently operates will not adopt policies limiting repatriation of earnings in the future. The
Company also has significant investments in countries other than the United States, principally its manufacturing operations in Aberdeen, Scotland and, to a lesser extent, Singapore, Brazil and Norway. The functional currency of these foreign
operations is the local currency except for Singapore, where the U.S. dollar is used. Financial statement assets and liabilities are translated at the end of the period exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate
component of stockholders equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flow.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Companys Consolidated Financial
Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There can
be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.

Product Revenue

The Company earns product revenues from two sources:



| |  |  | product revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method on long-term project contracts pursuant to Statement of Position 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and certain Production
Type-Contracts. Long-term project contracts have the following characteristics:



| |  |  | The contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The structural design is unique and requires significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Product requirement cannot be filled directly from the Companys standard inventory.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability
of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in

##### Table of Contents

revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The Company calculates the percent complete and applies the percentage to determine the
revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they first become evident. Historically, the Companys estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated
actual costs incurred to complete the project.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, billings do not always correlate directly to the
revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise,
revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected within one year. At December 31, 2007 and 2008, trade receivables included
$18.1 million and $44.8 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. During 2008, 23 projects representing approximately 25% and 30% of the Companys total revenue and product revenue, respectively, were accounted for using
percentage-of-completion accounting.

Revenues not recognized under the percentage-of-completion method

Revenues from the sale of inventory products, not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, are recorded at the time the manufacturing
processes is complete and ownership is transferred to the customer.

Service revenue

The Company earns service revenues from three sources:



| |  |  | technical advisory assistance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | rental of running tools; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | rework and reconditioning of customer owned Dril-Quip products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

The recognition of service revenue is the same for all products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. The Company does not install products for our customers, but we provide
technical advisory assistance. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent our running tools and the Company is not obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory
assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the
refurbishment process is complete.

The Company normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customers decision as to when the product will be installed and if Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is
under no obligation to utilize the Companys technical advisory services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel.

Inventories. Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are
calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions.
The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory reserves of $19.2 million and $20.8 million were recorded as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable
than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Contingent liabilities. We establish
reserves for estimated loss contingencies when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are reflected

in income in the period in which different facts or information become known or circumstances change that affect our previous assumptions with respect to the
likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are based upon our assumptions and estimates regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the outcome differ from our assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated
reserves for contingent liabilities would be required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no derivative instruments and no off-balance sheet hedging or financing arrangements or contracts or operations that rely upon credit or
similar ratings.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)).
SFAS 141(R) replaces Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting used in business combinations but replaces SFAS 141 by establishing principles and requirements for the
recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and goodwill including the requirement that most transaction costs and restructuring costs be expensed. In addition, the statement requires disclosures to enable users to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations when the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We will
adopt SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009 for business combinations on or after this date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment to ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provision of SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the provisions of this statement will materially effect the results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and loses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and did not elect to apply the fair value method to any eligible assets
or liabilities at that time.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 was issued in June 2006 and prescribes that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position that is more
likely than not to be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any appeals. The interpretation provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years which
remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2008, which are the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2008. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any
such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures under fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP
(FASB Staff Position) FAS 157-2 which would delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial

liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP
partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157
except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-2. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is
Not Active. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and addresses application issues such as use of internal assumptions when relevant observable data does not exist, the use of observable market
information when the market is not active and the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have an impact on the Company upon adoption. The Company did
not have any assets or liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed on a fair value basis as of December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents include investments in various financial instruments which are carried at cost.



|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company is currently exposed to certain market risks related to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not engage in any material hedging transactions, forward contracts
or currency trading which could mitigate the market risks inherent in such transactions.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Through its subsidiaries, the Company conducts a portion of its business in currencies other than the United States dollar, principally the British pound
sterling and to a lesser extent, the Brazilian real. The Company has not experienced significant transaction gains or losses associated with changes in currency exchange rates and does not anticipate such exposure to be material in the future.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to protect itself against currency fluctuations in the future. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsCurrency Risk
in Item 7 of this report.

The Company uses a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact on revenue and net income of a 10%
adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar over the previous year. Based upon this model, a 10% decrease would result in a decrease in revenues of approximately $22 million and a decrease in net income of
approximately $8 million over this period. There can be no assurance that the exchange rate decrease projected above will materialize as fluctuations in exchange rates are beyond the Companys control.

Interest Rate Risk

As described in
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources, the Company has two credit facilities or loans that require the Company to pay interest at a floating rate.
These floating-rate obligations expose the Company to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in the short-term interest rates. Based upon the December 31, 2008 balance of approximately $1.4 million related to these
floating rate obligations, each 1.0% rise in interest rates would result in additional annual interest expense to the Company of approximately $14,000, or $3,500 per quarter.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers
and effected by the companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management has designed its internal control over financial reporting to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Managements assessment
included review and testing of both the design effectiveness and operating effectiveness of controls over all relevant assertions related to all significant accounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, our management has concluded that
our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

BDO Seidman, LLP, the independent registered
public accounting firm, which audited the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report, has also issued an attestation on our internal control over financial reporting, and their report is set forth on page 35.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Dril-Quip, Inc.

Houston, Texas

We have audited Dril-Quip, Inc.s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO
criteria). Dril-Quip, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Item 9A. Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Dril-Quip,
Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Dril-Quip, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 and our report dated February 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dril-Quip,
Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

DRIL-QUIP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization

Dril-Quip, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company or Dril-Quip), designs, manufactures, sells and services highly engineered
offshore drilling and production equipment that is well suited for use in deepwater, harsh environment and severe service applications. The Companys principal products consist of subsea and surface wellheads, subsea and surface production
trees, subsea control systems and manifolds, mudline hanger systems, specialty connectors and associated pipe, drilling and production riser systems, liner hangers, wellhead connectors and diverters. Dril-Quips products are used by major
integrated, large independent and foreign national oil and gas companies in offshore areas throughout the world. Dril-Quip also provides technical advisory assistance on an as-requested basis during installation of its products, as well as rework
and reconditioning services for customer-owned Dril-Quip products. In addition, Dril-Quips customers may rent or purchase running tools from the Company for use in the installation and retrieval of its products.

The Companys operations are organized into three geographic segmentsWestern Hemisphere (including North and South America; headquartered in
Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these
segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its headquarter locations as well as Macae, Brazil. The Companys major subsidiaries are Dril-Quip (Europe) Limited (DQE), located
in Aberdeen with branches in Denmark, Norway and Holland; Dril-Quip Asia Pacific PTE Ltd. (DQAP), located in Singapore; Dril-Quip do Brasil LTDA (DQB), located in Macae, Brazil; and Dril-Quip Holdings Pty Ltd. (DQH), located in Perth, Australia.
Dril-Quip (Nigeria) Ltd. is located in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and Dril-Quip Egypt for Petroleum Services S.A.E. is located in Alexandria, Egypt. Both are wholly owned subsidiaries of DQE.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of
Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly
owned. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Companys more significant estimates are those affected by critical accounting policies for revenue recognition, inventories and contingent liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Short-term
investments that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash in interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in U.S. Treasury
obligations and repurchase agreements backed by Treasury obligations. The Companys investment objectives include the provision of a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.

Trade Receivables

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to amounts estimated to be uncollectible. This estimate is based upon historical collection experience combined with a specific
review of each customers outstanding trade receivable balance. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate, however, actual write-offs may exceed the recorded allowance. The following is a summary of activity
relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008:

Inventories

Inventory costs are determined principally by the use of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) costing method, and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory is valued principally using standard costs, which are
calculated based upon direct costs incurred and overhead allocations. Periodically, obsolescence reviews are performed on slow-moving inventories and reserves are established based on current assessments about future demands and market conditions.
The inventory values have been reduced by a reserve for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory reserves of $19.2 million and $20.8 million were recorded as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. If market conditions are less favorable
than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves may be required.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, with depreciation provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, an impairment charge is recognized. No impairment of long-lived assets existed at December 31, 2007 or 2008.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts
for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue

The Company earns product revenues from two sources:



| |  |  | product revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product revenues from the sale of products that do not qualify for the percentage-of-completion method.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method on long-term project contracts pursuant to Statement of Position 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and certain Production
Type-Contracts. Long-term project contracts have the following characteristics:



| |  |  | The contracts call for products which are designed to customer specifications;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The structural design is unique and requires significant engineering and manufacturing efforts generally requiring more than one year in duration;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The contracts contain specific terms as to milestones, progress billings and delivery dates; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Product requirement cannot be filled directly from the Companys standard inventory.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For each project, the Company prepares a detailed analysis of estimated costs, profit margin, completion date and risk factors which include availability
of material, production efficiencies and other factors that may impact the project. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the progress of each project, which may result in revisions of previous estimates, including revenue recognition. The
Company calculates the percent complete and applies the percentage to determine the revenues earned and the appropriate portion of total estimated costs. Losses, if any, are recorded in full in the period they first become evident. Historically, the
Companys estimates of total costs and costs to complete have approximated actual costs incurred to complete the project.

Under the
percentage-of-completion method, billings do not always correlate directly to the revenue recognized. Based upon the terms of the specific contract, billings may be in excess of the revenue recognized, in which case the amounts are included in
customer prepayments as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Likewise, revenue recognized may exceed customer billings in which case the amounts are reported in trade receivables. Unbilled revenues are expected to be billed and collected
within one year. At December 31, 2007 and 2008, receivables included $18.1 million and $44.8 million of unbilled receivables, respectively. At the end of 2008, there were 23 projects representing approximately 25% of the Companys total
revenue and approximately 30% of its product revenues were accounted for using percentage-of-completion accounting.

Revenues not
recognized under the percentage-of-completion method

Revenues from the sale of inventory products, not accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method, are recorded at the time the manufacturing processes is complete and ownership is transferred to the customer.

Service revenue

The Company earns service revenues from three sources:



| |  |  | technical advisory assistance;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | rental of running tools; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | rework and reconditioning of customer owned Dril-Quip products.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

The recognition of service revenue is the same for all products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. The Company does not install products for our customers, but we provide



43

##### Table of Contents

technical advisory assistance. At the time of delivery of the product, the customer is not obligated to buy or rent our running tools and the Company is not
obligated to perform any subsequent services relating to installation. Technical advisory assistance service revenue is recorded at the time the service is rendered. Service revenues associated with the rental of running and installation tools are
recorded as earned. Rework and reconditioning service revenues are recorded when the refurbishment process is complete.

The Company
normally negotiates contracts for products, including those accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, and services separately. For all product sales, it is the customers decision as to when the product will be installed and if
Dril-Quip running tools will be purchased or rented. Furthermore, the customer is under no obligation to utilize the Companys technical advisory services. The customer may use a third party or their own personnel.

Foreign Currency

The financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period end exchange rates except for revenues and expenses, which are translated at average monthly rates. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of
stockholders equity and have no current effect on earnings or cash flows. These adjustments amounted to increases of $11.4 million and $3.3 million in 2006 and 2007, respectively and a decrease of $42.6 million in 2008. The translation
adjustment decrease in 2008 resulted primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the British pound sterling and the Brazilian real during the latter half of 2008.

Foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the settlement. Exchange gains (losses) were approximately
$1.5 million in 2006, $2.2 million in 2007, and ($1.5 million) in 2008, net of income taxes. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt instruments. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are
either short-term in nature or carry interest rates that approximate market rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily include trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its
customers, which operate primarily in the oil and gas industry. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for potential
losses, and such losses have historically been within managements expectations.

In addition, the Company invests excess cash in
interest bearing accounts, money market mutual funds and funds which invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements backed by Treasury obligations. Changes in the financial markets and interest rates could affect the interest
earned on short-term investments.

Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income establishes the rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires the Company to include unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation adjustments in other



44



---

##### Table of Contents

comprehensive income. Generally, gains are attributed to a weakening U.S. dollar and losses are the result of a strengthening U.S. dollar.

Interest Capitalization

The Company
capitalizes interest on significant construction projects for which interest costs are being incurred. These projects principally consist of construction or expansion of the Companys facilities. No interest was capitalized in 2006, 2007 or
2008.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed considering the dilutive effect of stock options using
the treasury stock method.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) replaces Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting used in business combinations but replaces SFAS 141 by establishing principles and
requirements for the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and goodwill including the requirement that most transaction costs and restructuring costs be expensed. In addition, the statement requires disclosures to enable users to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations when the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009 for business combinations we engage in on or after this date.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment to ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provision of SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the provisions of this statement will materially
effect the results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and loses on items
for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and did not elect to apply the fair value method to any
eligible assets or liabilities at that time.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 was issued in June 2006 and prescribes that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax
position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any appeals. The interpretation provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for
the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2008, which are the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2008. The Company has occasionally been assessed interest or penalties by major tax
jurisdictions and these assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In accordance with our accounting policy, both before and



45

##### Table of Contents

after adoption of FIN 48, interest expense assessed by tax jurisdictions is included with interest expense and assessed penalties are included in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures under fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP (FASB Staff Position) FAS 157-2 which
would delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP partially
defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157 except as it
applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-2. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active. FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and addresses application issues such as use of internal assumptions when relevant observable data does not exist, the use of observable market
information when the market is not active and the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective immediately and did not have an impact on the Company upon adoption. The Company did
not have any assets or liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed on a fair value basis as of December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents include investments in various financial instruments which are carried at cost.

The Company has a credit facility with Guaranty Bank, FSB providing an unsecured revolving line of
credit of up to $10 million. At the option of the Company, borrowing under this facility bears interest at either a rate equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 1.75% or the Guaranty Bank base rate. The facility calls for quarterly
interest payments and terminates June 1, 2009. The facility also contains certain covenants including maintaining minimum tangible net worth levels, not exceeding specified funded debt amounts and required interest coverage ratios. As of

interest at the Bank of Scotland base rate, which was 2.0% at December 31, 2008, plus 1%, and is repayable in 120 equal monthly installments, plus interest. Substantially all of this facility was used to finance capital expenditures in Norway.
The outstanding balance of this facility at December 31, 2007 and 2008 was approximately U.S. $2.7 million and U.S. $1.4 million, respectively. The facility is secured by land and buildings in Aberdeen, Scotland and contains no
restrictive financial covenants.

Interest paid on long-term debt for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 was $749,000,
$253,000 and $132,000 respectively. Scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2009$584,000; 2010$584,000; 2011$195,000; and none thereafter.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Based upon existing market conditions and the Companys earnings prospects, it is anticipated that all deferred tax benefits will be
realized in future years. Significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:



|                                      |  |                |        |   |      |   |        |

Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are considered to be
indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject
to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provides for a tax deduction for qualified production activities. Under the guidance of FASB Staff Position No
109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the deduction will be treated as a special
deduction as described in FASB No. 109 and not as a reduction in the tax rate. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing on the date of enactment. The Companys production activities
qualify for the tax deduction and the Companys 2008 tax provision includes an estimated deduction of approximately $4.5 million.

The
Company paid $15.2 million, $41.9 million and $40.5 million in income taxes in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases certain office, shop and warehouse facilities, automobiles, and equipment. The Company expenses all lease payments when incurred. Total lease expense incurred was $3.0 million,
$2.7 million and $2.6 million in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Future annual minimum lease commitments, including required leasehold improvements, at December 31, 2008 are as follows: 2009$1.7 million;
2010$0.8 million; 2011$18.9 million; 2012$3.0 million; 2013$0.1 million; and thereafter$2.3 million.

In 2006, the Company entered into a contract in the amount of approximately $47 million with MPF Corp. Ltd. (MPF) under which the Company was to construct risers and related equipment to be installed on an
offshore drill ship being constructed for MPF. MPF and its affiliates filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in September 2008 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Under the Bankruptcy Code, at some
point MPF must either assume this contract or reject it. Since MPF is not required to make a decision on the handling of the contract right away, we cannot assure you when our rights under the contract will be clarified. Currently, the Company has
possession of all the raw materials purchased to date and work-in-progress under the contract. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, the Company had recognized approximately $20 million in revenues under the contract and had received payments of
approximately $16 million. No further revenue has been recognized since the second quarter of 2008. The Company believes the remaining $4 million of unpaid receivables will be realized through the workings of the contract or through its interest in
the partially constructed inventory. While the Company has made filings in the bankruptcy proceedings that it believes are appropriate to protect its rights, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to receive the expected benefits of
the contract with MPF. While the Company does not expect the outcome of this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows, the Company may be required to write down or forfeit some
portion of the revenues recognized to date if it becomes probable that the Company will not receive such funds.

In August 2007, our
Brazilian subsidiary was served with assessments collectively valued at approximately $12.8 million from the State of Rio de Janiero, Brazil, to collect a state tax on the importation of goods. We believe that our subsidiary is not liable for the
taxes and are vigorously contesting the assessments in the Brazilian administrative and judicial systems. At this time, the ultimate disposition of this matter cannot presently be determined and therefore, it is not possible to reasonably estimate
the amount of loss or the range of possible losses that might result from an adverse judgment or settlement of these assessments. Accordingly, no liability has been accrued in conjunction with this matter. We do not expect the liability, if any,
resulting from these assessments to have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows.

In
November 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement in Singapore for approximately 11 acres of vacant land. The lease term is 30 years and the Company elected to make a lump sum payment for the entire lease. In addition, under the terms of the
lease, the Company is obligated to make certain minimum investments in machinery, leasehold improvements and buildings within the next five years.

The Company operates its business and markets its products and services in most of the significant oil and gas producing areas in the world and is, therefore, subject to the risk customarily attendant to international operations and
dependency on the condition of the oil and gas industry. Additionally, products of the Company are used in potentially hazardous drilling, completion, and production applications that can cause personal injury,

product liability, and environmental claims. Although exposure to such risk has not resulted in any significant problems in the past, there can be no
assurance that future developments will not adversely impact the Company.

The Company is also involved in a number of legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such legal action, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect thereto will not have a material adverse
affect on the Companys operations, financial position or cash flows.

10. Stockholders Equity

The Rights Agreement between the Company and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C. dated as of October 17, 1997 included one right to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for each share of common stock. On October 17, 2007, the Rights Agreement and the rights issued thereunder expired by their terms, at which time no shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding.

Under a Stockholder Rights Plan adopted by the Board of Directors on November 24, 2008, each
share of common stock includes one right to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-hundredth of a share (a Fractional Share) of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a specific purchase price per Fractional
Share, subject to adjustment in certain event. The rights will cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire the Company without the approval of the Companys Board of Directors.

The Companys operations are organized into three geographic segmentsWestern Hemisphere
(including North and South America; headquartered in Houston, Texas), Eastern Hemisphere (including Europe and Africa; headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Asia-Pacific (including the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Australia, India and the Middle
East; headquartered in Singapore). Each of these segments sells similar products and services and the Company has major manufacturing facilities in all three of its headquarter locations as well as Macae, Brazil.

Eliminations of operating profits are related to intercompany inventory transfers that are deferred until shipment is made to third party customers.

In 2006, 2007 and 2008, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys revenues.

12. Employee Stock Option Plan and Awards

On
September 19, 1997, the Company adopted the Dril-Quip, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (as amended, the 1997 Plan) and the Company reserved 3,400,000 shares of Common Stock for use in connection with the 1997 Plan. During 2001, the Company
reserved an additional 1,400,000 shares for use in connection with the 1997 Plan. Some options remain outstanding under the 1997 Plan, however, no additional grants will be awarded under this plan. On May 13, 2004, the Companys
stockholders approved the 2004 Incentive Plan of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the 2004 Plan), which reserved up to 2,696,294 shares of Common Stock to be used in connection with the 2004 Plan. Persons eligible for awards under the 1997 Plan and 2004
Plan are employees holding positions of responsibility with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1997 Plan and the 2004 Plan have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-fourth
of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.

The fair value
of stock options granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life was based on the Companys historical trends and volatility was based on the expected life of the options. The risk-free
interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve at the grant date. The Company does not pay dividends and therefore, there is no dividend yield.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2006, 2007 and 2008 was $52.8 million,
$19.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The income tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $461,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Stock-based compensation is recognized as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 stock-based
compensation expense totaled $1.8 million, $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively. No stock-based compensation expense was capitalized during those years.

While the options granted to employees vest over four years, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. At December 31, 2008, there was $11.1
million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.0 years.

In September 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend. As a result, the
split was paid in the form of a stock dividend on October 5, 2006 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 21, 2006. The Company issued 19.9 million shares of common stock as a result of the stock split. In
addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Companys employee benefit plans were proportionately increased in
accordance with the terms of those respective agreements and plans. The transaction reduced additional paid-in capital by $0.2 million and increased common stock by $0.2 million. All share and per share data (except par value) for all periods
presented have been restated to reflect the stock split.
