CORE LABORATORIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Core Laboratories N.V. and its subsidiaries for which we have a controlling voting interest and/or a controlling financial interest. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information using the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the summary of significant accounting policies and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 Annual Report").

Core Laboratories N.V. uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has less than a majority interest and over which it does not exercise control but does exert significant influence. We use the cost method to record certain other investments in which we own less than 20% of the outstanding equity and do not exercise control or exert significant influence. Non-controlling interests have been recorded to reflect outside ownership attributable to consolidated subsidiaries that are less than 100% owned. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included in these financial statements. Furthermore, the operating results presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Core Laboratories N.V.'s balance sheet information for the year ended December 31, 2014 was derived from the 2014 audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts in order to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the reported net income or cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

References to "Core Lab", the "Company", "we", "our" and similar phrases are used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and relate collectively to Core Laboratories N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We include freight costs incurred for shipping inventory to customers in the Cost of product sales line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

In June 2015, we acquired a business providing additional reservoir fluids technology for $17.2 million in cash. We have accounted for this acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in an increase to goodwill of $14.3 million and an increase of $1.9 million in intangible assets. The acquisition was recorded in the Reservoir Description business segment.

The acquisition of this entity did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have two series of senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $150 million ("Senior Notes") issued in a private placement transaction. Series A consists of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of notes that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.01% and are due in full on September 30, 2021. Series B consists of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of notes that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.11% and are due in full on September 30, 2023. Interest on each series of the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 30 and September 30.
    
On March 13, 2015, we entered into an agreement to amend our revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity from $350 million to $400 million and to keep the uncommitted availability of an additional $50 million to bring the total borrowings available to $450 million if certain prescribed conditions are met by the Company. The Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates from LIBOR plus 1.25% to a maximum of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due August 29, 2019, when the Credit Facility matures. Our available capacity at any point in time is reduced by borrowings outstanding at the time and outstanding letters of credit which totaled $26.1 million at June 30, 2015, resulting in an available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $103.9 million. In addition to those items under the Credit Facility, we had $12.5 million of outstanding letters of credit and performance guarantees and bonds from other sources as of June 30, 2015.

The terms of the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes require us to meet certain covenants, including, but not limited to, certain minimum cash flow ratios. We believe that we are in compliance with all such covenants contained in our credit agreements. Certain of our material, wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors or co-borrowers under the Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

In 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million. See Note 12 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

The estimated fair value of total debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 approximated the book value of total debt. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs by calculating the sum of the discounted future interest and principal payments through the date of maturity.

5.  PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Defined Benefit Plan

We provide a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all of our Dutch employees ("Dutch Plan") who were hired prior to 2007 based on years of service and final pay or career average pay, depending on when the employee began participating. The benefits earned by the employees are immediately vested.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we contributed approximately $1.0 million to fund the estimated 2015 premiums on investment contracts held by the Dutch Plan.

Defined Contribution Plans

We maintain defined contribution plans for the benefit of eligible employees in certain countries including Canada, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Deferred Compensation Arrangements

We have entered into deferred compensation contracts for certain key employees. The benefits under these contracts are fully vested and benefits are paid when the participants attain 65 years of age.

We have adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows certain highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their salary, commission and bonus, as well as the amount of any reductions in their deferrals under the deferred compensation plan for employees in the United States, due to certain limitations imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We have been and may from time to time be named as a defendant in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. These include, but are not limited to, employment-related claims and contractual disputes or claims for personal injury or property damage which occur in connection with the provision of our services and products. Management does not currently believe that any of our pending contractual, employment-related, personal injury or property damage claims and disputes will have a material effect on our future results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In connection with an audit of the 2008 and 2009 U.S. federal income tax returns of our U.S. consolidated group, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has proposed that certain transfer pricing positions taken by the Company be adjusted, which could result in additional federal income tax of approximately $11 million plus interest for this two-year audit period. We believe that these transactions are valid as originally recorded, and we are appealing this proposed adjustment. It is our belief that we will prevail on this issue; consequently, we have made no additional income tax accrual for this proposed adjustment.

7.  EQUITY

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we repurchased 359,732 of our common shares for $42.9 million. Included in this total were rights to 11,829 shares valued at $1.3 million that were surrendered to us pursuant to the terms of a stock-based compensation plan in consideration of the participants' tax burdens that may result from the issuance of common shares under that plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repurchased 1,043,022 of our common shares for $115.8 million. Included in this total were rights to 18,478 shares valued at $2.0 million that were surrendered to us pursuant to the terms of a stock-based compensation plan in consideration of the participants' tax burdens that may result from the issuance of common shares under that plan.Such common shares, unless canceled, may be reissued for a variety of purposes such as future

acquisitions, non-employee director stock awards or employee stock awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, 40,128 and 62,774, respectively, treasury shares were distributed upon vesting of stock-based awards.

At the annual meeting of shareholders on May 21, 2015, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 1,250,000 shares of our common stock then held as treasury stock. These treasury shares will be cancelled after the expiration of the waiting period required under Dutch law. In accordance with ASC 505-30-30-8, we will charge the excess of the cost of the treasury stock over its par value to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

In February and May 2015, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock. In addition, on July 7, 2015, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock for shareholders of record on July 17, 2015 and payable on August 17, 2015.

8.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per common share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common and potential common shares include additional shares in the weighted average share calculations associated with the incremental effect of dilutive restricted stock awards and contingently issuable shares, as determined using the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

10.  INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 22.5% and 21.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 22.7% and 22.6%, respectively. The change in tax expense is primarily the result of changes in activity levels among jurisdictions with different tax rates.

11.  SEVERANCE AND OTHER CHARGES

In response to lower commodity pricing and reduced spending by our clients related to oil and gas producing fields in 2015, we decided during the first quarter of 2015 to reduce our cost structure, primarily through a reduction in our workforce, to better align with anticipated activity levels for 2015, which is summarized below. As a result of these cost reductions, we recorded a charge of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Depending on how the market situation evolves, further actions may be necessary, which could result in additional charges in future periods.
Reduction in Force ($6.4 million): termination benefits expensed and paid or accrued at March 31, 2015,

10
                                                                    Return to Index



Facility Exit Costs ($0.5 million), and
Asset Write-Offs ($0.2 million): write-off of assets that have no associated future cash flows.
During the second quarter of 2015, we continued to closely monitor rig counts, crude oil and natural gas prices, and activity levels within the industry. We continued our reduction in force initiative which began in the first quarter of 2015, but no additional accruals or write-offs were recorded during the second quarter of 2015.

12.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates from LIBOR plus 1.25% to a maximum of LIBOR plus 2.00%. We are subject to interest rate risk on the debt carried through our Credit Facility.

In 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million to hedge changes in the variable rate interest expense on $50 million of our existing or replacement LIBOR-priced debt. Under the first swap agreement of $25 million, we have fixed the interest rate at 2.98% through August 29, 2019, and under the second swap agreement of $25 million, we have fixed the interest rate at 3.75% through August 29, 2024. Each swap is measured at fair value and recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability. They are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments and are highly effective. Unrealized gains/losses are deferred to shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and are recognized in income as a decrease/increase to interest expense in the period in which the related cash flows being hedged are recognized in expense.

At June 30, 2015, we had fixed rate debt aggregating $200 million and variable rate debt aggregating $220 million, after taking into account the effect of the swaps.

The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments are as follows:

The Company's only financial assets and liabilities which involve fair value measures relate to certain aspects of the Company's benefit plans and our derivative instruments. We use the market approach to value certain assets and liabilities at fair value using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) with the assistance of a third party specialist. We do not have any

14.  SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate our business in three reportable segments.  These complementary segments provide different services and products and utilize different technologies for improving reservoir performance and increasing oil and gas recovery from new and existing fields.

Reservoir Description: Encompasses the characterization of petroleum reservoir rock, fluid and gas samples. We provide analytical and field services to characterize properties of crude oil and petroleum products to the oil and gas industry.
Production Enhancement: Includes services and products relating to reservoir well completions, perforations, stimulations and production. We provide integrated services to evaluate the effectiveness of well completions and to develop solutions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of enhanced oil recovery projects.
Reservoir Management: Combines and integrates information from reservoir description and production enhancement services to increase production and improve recovery of oil and gas from our clients' reservoirs.

Results for these segments are presented below. We use the same accounting policies to prepare our segment results as are used to prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements. All interest and other non-operating income (expense) is attributable to the Corporate & Other area and is not allocated to specific segments. Summarized financial information concerning our segments is shown in the following table (in thousands):

15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 relating to revenue from contracts with customers (FASB ASC Topic 606), which provides guidance on revenue recognition. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance requires entities to apply a five-step method to (1) identify the contract(s) with customers; (2) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (on July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the implementation date for one year). We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 which affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: (1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interest in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those for registered money market funds. This pronouncement is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, including those under the headings "Outlook" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources", and in other parts of this Form 10-Q, are forward-looking. In addition, from time to time, we may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", or other similar words, including statements as to the intent, belief, or current expectations of our directors, officers, and management with respect to our future operations, performance, or positions or which contain other forward-looking information.

Outlook

As part of our long-term growth strategy, we continue our long-term efforts to expand our market presence by opening or expanding facilities in strategic areas and realizing synergies within our business lines subject to client demand and market conditions. We believe our market presence provides us a unique opportunity to service clients who have global operations whether they are international oil companies, national oil companies, or independent oil companies.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the prices for both WTI and Brent crude oil began to fall sharply, particularly after the OPEC meeting held on November 27, 2014. Average prices for the majority of the 2014 calendar year were in excess of $99 per barrel for WTI and in excess of $105 per barrel for Brent; however, were down to approximately $50 per barrel by year’s end. These depressed prices have caused a significant decrease in the activities associated with both the exploration and production of oil during 2015.

The North American land-based activity has been impacted more significantly with the average rig count decreasing by more than 56% in 2015 when compared to the 2014 fourth quarter levels. If the WTI crude oil price remains near its current level, we believe the significantly lower levels of industry activity experienced in the first half of 2015 may continue through the remainder of 2015, which could negatively impact our North America operations.

Outside of North America, activities associated with the exploration and production of oil have also decreased from 2014 levels, although not as significantly as the land-based activities in North America. The average international rig count in the first half 2015 is down approximately 13% as compared to the 2014 fourth quarter. These reduced international activities have impacted most regions, except the Middle East, where we continue to see sustained levels and some potential growth in 2015. As with North America land-based activity, we believe international activities will also remain at reduced levels, without a meaningful improvement in the current Brent crude oil prices.

We saw the U.S. production start to decline in the second quarter of 2015 which we believe is an indication that the balancing of worldwide crude-oil markets is underway. Additionally, the most recent International Energy Agency estimates project worldwide demand to increase in 2015 by 1.4 million barrels of oil per day in response to low commodity prices. With the very steep decline curves associated with the unconventional tight oil reservoirs in the U.S., we now believe that U.S. supply growth rolled over in April of 2015 and that year-over-year crude-oil production will be down several hundreds-of-thousands of barrels per day. Therefore, at current activity levels, U.S. production could fall significantly in 2015 and 2016, while worldwide oil production continues to stagnate or decrease slightly because recent international production gains may not be sustainable over the long term.

Response to Decline in Oilfield Services Activities

In response to lower commodity pricing and reduced spending by our clients related to oil and gas producing fields in 2015, we decided during the first quarter of 2015 to reduce our cost structure, primarily consisting of reductions in our workforce, to better align with anticipated activity levels for 2015, which is summarized below. As a result of these cost reductions, we recorded a charge of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Depending on how the market situation evolves, further actions may be necessary, which could result in additional charges in future periods.

Reduction in Force ($6.4 million): termination benefits expensed and paid or accrued at March 31, 2015,
Facility Exit Costs ($0.5 million), and
Asset Write-Offs ($0.2 million): write-off of assets that have no associated future cash flows.
During the second quarter of 2015, we continued to closely monitor rig counts, crude oil and natural gas prices, and activity levels within the industry. We continued our reduction in force initiative which began in the first quarter of 2015, but no additional accruals or write-offs were recorded during the second quarter of 2015.

Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Services Revenue

Services revenue decreased 17% to $156.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 when compared to $188.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, services revenue decreased to $319.8 million as compared to $377.0 million for the same period of 2014. Prices at the end of the second quarter of 2015 for WTI and Brent crude oil declined 44% and 46%, respectively, since the end of the second quarter of 2014. As a result, the global rig count plummeted, primarily in North America, resulting in decreased demand for our well analysis and completion services. Our continued focus on worldwide crude oil related and large natural gas liquefaction projects, especially those related to the development of deepwater fields off West and East Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, kept services revenue from declining further.

Product Sales Revenue

Revenue associated with product sales decreased to $47.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $79.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, product sales revenue decreased to $97.7 million compared to $153.4 million during the same period in 2014. Rig count at the end of the second quarter of 2015 for the US and Canada declined 54% and 46%, respectively, since the end of the second quarter of 2014, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the demand for our well completion products.

Cost of Services

Cost of services expressed as a percentage of services revenue increased to 63% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 59% for the same periods in 2014. The increase is primarily due to our fixed costs structure being absorbed on lower revenues in 2015 when compared to 2014.

                                                                    Return to Index




Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales expressed as a percentage of product sales revenue increased to 77% and 79% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to 71% and 70%, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. These increases were primarily related to our fixed costs structure being absorbed on lower revenue in 2015 when compared to 2014. We took actions to reduce our cost structure in response to the sharp decline in North America activity during the first quarter of 2015. The cost benefits of these actions are reflected in the results for the second quarter of 2015 as we see a sequential improvement in the cost of product sales.
 
General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative ("G&A") expense includes corporate management and centralized administrative services that benefit our operations. G&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $12.6 million and $25.3 million, respectively, compared to $11.1 million and $21.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014 primarily due to compensation expense.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $6.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, compared to $6.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014.

Severance and Other Charges

Based on the still falling oil and natural gas prices, the falling rig counts and reductions in CAPEX spending by our clients, we responded with a reduction in our workforce and recorded the following charges and credits in continuing operations during the quarter ending March 31, 2015:
Reduction in Force ($6.4 million): termination benefits expensed and paid or accrued at March 31, 2015,
Facility Exit Costs ($0.5 million), and
Asset Write-Offs ($0.2 million): write-off of assets that have no associated future cash flows.
During the second quarter of 2015, we continued to closely monitor rig counts, crude oil and natural gas prices, and activity levels within the industry. We continued our reduction in force initiative which began in the first quarter of 2015, but no additional accruals or write-offs were recorded during the second quarter of 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $5.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 22.5% and 21.2%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 22.7% and 22.6%, respectively. The change in tax expense is primarily the result of changes in activity levels among jurisdictions with different tax rates.

Segment Analysis

Reservoir Description

Revenue from the Reservoir Description segment was $118.9 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decline of 2% from $121.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 and a decline of 9% from $130.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, revenue decreased $15.2 million to $240.7 million, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in revenue for all period comparisons is primarily related to the strengthening of the US dollar against certain currencies such as the Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound, and Russian ruble, in which we invoice some of the revenue. This segment’s operations continue to work on large-scale, long-term crude-oil and LNG projects with an emphasis on deepwater developments and international markets. We continue to focus on large-scale core analyses and reservoir fluids characterization studies in the Asia-Pacific areas, offshore West and East Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean region and the Middle East, including Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

Operating income was $30.9 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 8% compared to $28.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of 15% compared to $36.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $59.5 million compared to $71.2 million for the same period in 2014 primarily due to our fixed costs structure, which included additional charges for severance and other items, being absorbed on lower revenue in 2015 when compared to 2014. Operating margins were 26% in the second quarter of 2015, up from 23% in the first quarter of 2015 as the benefit from our cost reduction efforts is being realized, but down from 28% during the same period in 2014. This segment emphasizes technologically demanding services on internationally-based development and production-related crude oil projects over more cyclical exploration-related projects.

Production Enhancement

Revenue from the Production Enhancement segment was $70.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 6% from $75.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of $40.4 million from $111.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. Revenue decreased to $145.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $221.3 million for the same period in 2014. Revenue decreased primarily due to the declining rig count and stage count and associated activities related to the exploration and production of oil and gas, primarily in the US where the horizontal rig count fell 55% during the first half of 2015. This significantly reduced demand for products associated with land-based completion of oil wells in US unconventional developments.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2015 was $14.4 million, an increase of 45% compared to $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease from $37.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to decreased revenue caused by reduced capital spending in North America by our clients in 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating income decreased to $24.3 million from $74.9 million for the same period in 2014. Operating margins were 20% in the second quarter of 2015, and improved from 13% in the first quarter of 2015 when we absorbed additional severance expense associated with our reduction in workforce activities, but down from 34% in the same period of 2014 as we are absorbing our fixed costs on lower revenue in 2015.

Reservoir Management

Revenue from the Reservoir Management segment decreased to $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 from $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $31.1 million compared to $53.3 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in 2015 when compared to 2014 is primarily related to the decrease of the oil commodity price and as a result reduced spending from our oil and gas clients. We continue to have interest in our existing multi-client reservoir studies such as the Duvernay Shale Project in Canada and the Tight Oil Reservoirs of the Midland Basin study as well as our new joint-industry projects in the Williston Basin targeting the tight oil of the entire Three Forks sections and a study in the Appalachian Basin of the emerging Devonian shales in the liquids window.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2015 decreased to $3.5 million from $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating income was $7.3 million compared to $20.3 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in operating income in the second quarter of 2015 was due primarily to decreased revenue. We are still focused on our joint industry projects, including the Utica, Duvernay, Montney, Wilrich, Mississippi Lime and Central Atlantic studies and the Marcellus, Niobrara, Wolfcamp, Eaglebine and Eagle Ford plays. Operating margins were 24% in the second quarter of 2015, up from 23% in the first quarter of 2015, but down from 38% when compared to the same period in 2014. Although operating margins for Reservoir Management can fluctuate due to sales of fully completed studies, which generate significant incremental margins, the lower margin during the second quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to the fixed costs associated with product sales being absorbed by lower product sales revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically financed our activities through cash on hand, cash flows from operations, bank credit facilities, or the issuance of debt and equity financing.

We utilize the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow to evaluate our cash flows and results of operations. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure) less cash paid for capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the cash available in the period that was in excess of our needs to fund our capital expenditures and operating activities. Free cash flow is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation nor construed as an alternative to operating profit, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for distribution because we may have other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Moreover, since free cash flow is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP and thus is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, free cash flow as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

The increase in free cash flow for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a reduced investment in working capital and a decrease in capital expenditures, offset somewhat by lower net income.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 remained relatively unchanged.

The increase in cash flows used in investing activities during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to the acquisition in 2015, offset by lower capital expenditures in 2015.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. During the first six months of 2015, we increased our debt by $64 million, as compared to increasing it by $66 million during the first six months of 2014. In the first six months of 2015, we repurchased 1,043,022 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $115.8 million compared to the repurchase of 709,559 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $125.3 million during the same period in 2014. We increased the amount of our quarterly dividend from $0.50 per share to $0.55 per share, resulting in dividend payments of $47.5 million during the first six months of 2015, compared to $44.9 million during the first six months of 2014.

Notes, Credit Facilities and Available Future Liquidity

We have two series of senior notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $150 million ("Senior Notes") issued in a private placement transaction. Series A consists of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of notes that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.01% and are due in full on September 30, 2021. Series B consists of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of notes that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.11% and are due in full on September 30, 2023. Interest on each series of the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 30 and September 30.

On March 13, 2015, we entered into an agreement to amend our revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity from $350 million to $400 million and to keep the uncommitted availability of an additional $50 million to bring the total borrowings available to $450 million if certain prescribed conditions are met by the Company. The Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates from LIBOR plus 1.25% to a maximum of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due August 29, 2019, when the Credit Facility matures. Our available capacity at any point in time is reduced by borrowings outstanding at the time and outstanding letters of credit which totaled $26.1 million at June 30, 2015, resulting in an available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $103.9 million. In addition to those items under the Credit Facility, we had $12.5 million of outstanding letters of credit and performance guarantees and bonds from other sources as of June 30, 2015.

The terms of the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes require us to meet certain covenants, including, but not limited to, certain minimum cash flow ratios. We believe that we are in compliance with all such covenants contained in our credit agreements. Certain of our material, wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors or co-borrowers under the Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

In 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50 million. See Note 12 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Our ability to maintain and grow our operating income and cash flow depends, to a large extent, on continued investing activities. We are a Netherlands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flow depends upon the ability of our subsidiaries to pay cash dividends or otherwise distribute or advance funds to us. We believe our future cash flows from operations, supplemented by our borrowing capacity and issuances

of additional equity, should be sufficient to fund our debt requirements, capital expenditures, working capital, dividend payments and future acquisitions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A complete discussion of our controls and procedures is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015 at the reasonable assurance level.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
