Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION ChampionX Corporation is a global leader in chemistry solutions and highly engineered equipment and technologies that help companies drill for and produce oil and gas safely and efficiently around the world. Our products provide efficient functioning throughout the lifecycle of a well with a focus on the production phase of wells. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “ChampionX” mean ChampionX Corporation, together with our subsidiaries where the context requires. On June 3, 2020, the Company and Ecolab Inc. (“Ecolab”) completed a Reverse Morris Trust transaction in which we acquired the Chemical Technologies business (“the Merger”). In association with the completion of the Merger, the Company changed its name from Apergy Corporation (“Apergy”) to ChampionX Corporation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Merger Transaction

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Merger Transaction

MERGER TRANSACTION

On June 3, 2020 we completed the acquisition of the Chemical Technologies business. To complete the acquisition, we issued 122.2 million shares of common stock, at a share price of $10.34 per share, in exchange for 100% equity ownership of Chemical Technologies.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:


(in thousands)
Equity consideration	$	1,263,931
Replacement awards attributable to pre-combination services(1)	43,964
Unfavorable supply agreement(2)	46,000
Favorable supply agreement(2)	(59,000)
Fair value of consideration transferred	$	1,294,895

_______________________

(1) Represents the fair value of the replacement equity awards to the extent services were provided by employees of Chemical Technologies prior to closing.

(2) As part of the Merger, the Company entered into a Cross Supply and Product Transfer Agreement with Ecolab in which over a period of approximately three years from the merger date, certain products will be manufactured by one party for the other. The cross selling prices in which each party will transfer their products, and include a take-or-pay element, have been set forth within this agreement and are not reflective of market terms. As a result, we recognized an intangible asset recorded at fair value for the favorable terms and a liability recorded at fair value for the unfavorable terms. The intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year period into cost of goods and services and the liability will be amortized as a component of product revenue.

As of March 31, 2021, we have substantially completed the allocation of the consideration. The primary areas in which the preliminary purchase price allocation is not yet finalized relate to filing of income tax returns that provide taxes payable and receivable from tax authorities as well as under the Tax Matters Agreement with Ecolab, deferred income taxes and residual goodwill. We will complete the purchase price allocation and valuation during the second quarter of 2021.

The following table provides the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

REVENUE

Our revenue is generated primarily from product sales. Service revenue is generated from providing services to our customers. These services include installation, repair and maintenance, laboratory and logistics services, chemical management services, troubleshooting, reporting, water treatment services, technical advisory assistance and other field services. Lease revenue is derived from rental income of leased production equipment. These lease arrangements generally allow customers to rent equipment on a daily basis with no stated end date. Management accounts for these arrangements as a daily renewal option beginning on the lease commencement date, with the lease term determined as the period in which it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. As our costs are shared across the various revenue categories, cost of goods sold is not tracked separately and is not discretely identifiable.

Revenue disaggregated by geography was as follows:

The 2020 Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory amortization payments of $6.7 million paid quarterly, which began on September 30, 2020, and contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default for loan facilities of this type. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings during the period was 2.64% and 6.00% for the 2018 Term Loan Facility and 2020 Term Loan Facility, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Mar. 31, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to, among other things, workers’ compensation, general liability (including product liability), automobile claims, health care claims, environmental matters, and lawsuits. We record liabilities where a contingent loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. In accordance with applicable GAAP, the Company discloses a contingent liability even if the liability is not probable or the amount is not estimable, or both, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred. Guarantees and Indemnifications We have provided indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including representations and warranties, covenants and related indemnities for environmental health and safety, tax, and employment matters. We do not have any material liabilities recorded for these indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. In connection with the Company’s separation from Dover Corporation (“Dover”) in 2018, we entered into agreements with Dover that govern the treatment between Dover and us for certain indemnification matters and litigation responsibility. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Dover’s business with Dover. The separation and distribution agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. In addition, pursuant to the tax matters agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Dover and its affiliates against any and all tax-related liabilities incurred by them relating to the separation and/or certain related transactions to the extent caused by an acquisition of ChampionX stock or assets or by any other action or failure to act undertaken by ChampionX or its affiliates. In connection with the Merger, we entered into agreements with Ecolab that govern the treatment between Ecolab and us for certain indemnification matters and litigation responsibility. Generally, the separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Ecolab’s business with Ecolab. The separation and distribution agreement also establishes procedures for handling claims subject to indemnification and related matters. In addition, pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Ecolab and its affiliates for (i) all taxes for which ChampionX is responsible as defined within the Tax Matters Agreement, (ii) all taxes resulting from a breach by ChampionX of any of its representations (but only to the extent relating to a breach occurring after the consummation of the Merger) or any of its covenants under the Tax Matters Agreement, (iii) all taxes resulting from an acquisition after the Merger of any of the stock or assets of ChampionX, other than as a result of the Merger or a repayment of the ChampionX Credit Facilities and (iv) reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) related to the foregoing. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $88.0 million and $88.8 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees which expire at various dates through 2027. These financial instruments are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. Generally, we would only be liable for the amount of these letters of credit and surety bonds in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which we believe is remote. Litigation and Environmental Matters We are involved in various pending or potential lawsuits, claims and environmental actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of our products, patent infringement, employment matters, and commercial disputes, as well as possible obligations to investigate and mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain chemical substances at various sites, such as Superfund sites and either operating or owned facilities. We review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and accrued to date, and the availability and extent of insurance coverage. We accrue a liability for legal matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, the Company records the most probable estimate of the loss or the minimum amount when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation and unfavorable rulings or developments could occur, and there can be no certainty that the Company may not ultimately incur changes in excess of recorded liabilities. However, we believe the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental Matters The Company is currently participating in environmental assessments and remediation at approximately 11 locations, the majority of which are in the U.S., and environmental liabilities have been accrued reflecting our best estimate of future costs. Potential insurance reimbursements are not anticipated in the Company’s accruals for environmental liabilities. As of March 31, 2021 environmental liability accruals related to these locations were $7.7 million. Prior to the separation from Dover in 2018, groundwater contamination was discovered at the Norris Sucker Rods plant site located in Tulsa, Oklahoma ("Norris"). Initial remedial efforts were undertaken at the time of discovery of the contamination and Norris has since coordinated monitoring and remediation with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality ("ODEQ"). As part of the ongoing long-term remediation process, Norris contracted an engineering and consulting firm to develop a range of possible additional remedial alternatives in order to accelerate the remediation process and associated cost estimates for the work. In October 2019, we received the firm’s preliminary remedial alternatives for consideration. We have submitted our long-term remediation plan and it was approved by ODEQ. We are now in discussion with ODEQ to finalize a consent order. Because we have not yet finalized the consent order for further remediation at the site and discussions with ODEQ remain ongoing, we cannot fully anticipate the timing, outcome or possible impact of such further remedial activities, financial or otherwise. As a result of the recommendations in the report, we accrued liabilities for these remediation efforts of approximately $2.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Liabilities could increase in the future at such time as we ultimately reach agreement with ODEQ on our remediation plan and such liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated, however, there have been no changes to our estimated liability as of March 31, 2021. Matters Related to Deepwater Horizon Incident Response On April 22, 2010, the deepwater drilling platform, the Deepwater Horizon, operated by a subsidiary of BP plc, sank in the Gulf of Mexico after an explosion and fire, resulting in a massive oil spill. Certain entities that are now subsidiaries of ChampionX as a result of the Merger (collectively the “COREXIT Defendants”) supplied COREXIT™ 9500, an oil dispersant product listed on the U.S. EPA National Contingency Plan Product Schedule, which was used in the response to the spill. In connection with the provision of COREXIT™, the COREXIT Defendants were named in several lawsuits. Cases arising out of the Deepwater Horizon accident were administratively transferred and consolidated for pre-trial purposes under In Re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon” in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010, Case No. 10-md-02179 in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana (E.D. La.) (“MDL 2179”). Claims related to the response to the oil spill were consolidated in a master complaint captioned the “B3 Master Complaint.” In 2011, Transocean Deepwater Drilling, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Transocean Entities”) named the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated companies as first party defendants (In re the Complaint and Petition of Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, et al, MDL No. 2179, Civil Action 10-2771). In April and May 2011, the Transocean Entities, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively, the “Cross Claimants”) filed cross claims in MDL 2179 against the COREXIT Defendants and other unaffiliated cross defendants. In April and June 2011, in support of its defense of the claims against it, the COREXIT Defendants filed counterclaims against the Cross Claimants. On May 18, 2012, the COREXIT Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims in the B3 Master Complaint. On November 28, 2012, the Court granted the COREXIT Defendants’ motion and dismissed with prejudice the claims in the B3 Master Complaint asserted against the COREXIT Defendants. There currently remain three “B3” cases that had asserted claims against Nalco and that remain pending against other defendants. Because the Court’s decision was not a “final judgment” for purposes of appeal with respect to those claims, under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a), plaintiffs will have 30 days after entry of final judgment in each case to appeal the Court’s summary judgment decision. The Company believes the claims asserted against the COREXIT Defendants are without merit and intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously. The Company also believes that it has rights to contribution and/or indemnification (including legal expenses) from third parties. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the involvement it might have in these matters in the future, or the potential for future litigation.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES

During 2021, we approved a restructuring plan (the 2021 Plan) related to the consolidation of product lines and associated facility closures and workforce reductions. As a result, we recognized charges of $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisting of employee severance and related benefits. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $2.8 million.

The following table presents the restructuring and other related charges by segment as classified in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share excludes awards with an anti-dilutive impact. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the diluted shares include the dilutive impact of equity awards except for approximately 0.4 million shares that were excluded because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we excluded all outstanding equity awards from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive as we were in a loss position.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets.

Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.

The carrying amount and the estimated fair value for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount
Assets
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	1,863	$	4,576

Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	4,839	$	6,561

The carrying value of foreign currency forward contracts is at fair value, which is determined based on foreign currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and is classified within Level 2. For purposes of fair value disclosure above, derivative values are presented gross. See Note 14—Derivatives And Hedging Transactions for further discussion of gross versus net presentation of the Company’s derivatives.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of our senior notes is based on Level 1 quoted market prices. The fair value of our term loan facilities are based on Level 2 quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments. The carrying amount and the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, held by the Company were:


	March 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
2018 Term Loan Facility	$	140,000	$	138,950	$	140,000	$	137,200

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions

Mar. 31, 2021

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. Derivative contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. We evaluate hedge effectiveness at contract inception and thereafter on a quarterly basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot exchange rates for derivative contracts that have been designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings and are presented in the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the statement of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts. We monitor our exposure to credit risk by using major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitoring their financial condition and credit profile. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and therefore, recording a valuation allowance against the Company’s derivative balance is not considered necessary.

Derivative Positions Summary

Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to settle with the same counterparties. These arrangements generally do not call for collateral and as of the applicable dates presented in

the following table, no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives. We have elected to present our derivative balances on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table summarizes the gross fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivatives and the lines in which they are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, primarily related to inventory purchases. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in AOCI until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the gain or loss is reclassified into the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as the underlying exposure being hedged. The forward points are marked-to-market monthly and recognized in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) as the underlying exposure being hedged.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset its exposure to the change in value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, which are remeasured at the end of each period. Although the contracts are effective economic hedges, they are not designated as accounting hedges. Therefore, changes in the value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Income

The loss of all derivative instruments recognized is summarized below:

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we transferred $8.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of inventory into property, plant, and equipment as a result of assets entering our leased asset program. Expenditures for assets that are placed into our leased asset program expected to be recovered through sale are reported in leased assets in the operating section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. All other capitalizable expenditures for assets that are placed into our leased asset program are classified as capital expenditures in the investing section of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2021
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ChampionX have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission pertaining to interim financial information. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise specified) necessary for a fair statement of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these financial statements may not be representative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
New Accounting Standards	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSAll new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. A hierarchy has been established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels: Level 1- Inputs are quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2- Inputs include observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.
