NEW YORK, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Dril-Quip, Inc. (NYSE: DRQ) and Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR). Our investigations concern whether these companies have violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices. Additional information about each case can be found at the link provided.

Dril-Quip, Inc (NYSE: DRQ)

On July 8, 2024, Dril-Quip disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had identified “an error in the classification of certain inventory write-downs from 2021.” Specifically, the Company disclosed that it “misclassified inventory write-downs from 2021 totaling approximately $67 million, including $19.3 million related to the 2018 global strategic plan and approximately $47.7 million due to the discontinuation of certain product categories under the 2021 global strategic plan. The Company classified these charges as ‘Restructuring and other charges’; however, these charges should have been classified in ‘Cost of sales’ in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with ASC 420-10-S99-3. As a result, ‘Cost of sales’ was understated and ‘Restructuring and other charges’ was overstated by $67 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the ‘Affected Period’).” Accordingly, Dril-Quip stated that its previous statements regarding the Affected Period “should no longer be relied upon” and will be restated. Dril-Quip further noted that “the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023 were not effective.”

On this news, the price of Dril-Quip shares declined by $1.76 per share, or approximately 9.9%, from $17.77 per share on July 8, 2024 to close at $16.01 on July 9, 2024.
