NOV Provides Operational Update for the Fourth Quarter 2020

22.01.2021
NOV Inc. announced that it expects fourth quarter 2020 revenue and earnings to be below prior guidance.

On a consolidated basis, the Company expects to report revenues of $1.33 billion, a GAAP operating loss of $327 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million.

“While rising North American activity levels drove higher revenues in the U.S. for our shorter-cycle businesses, international markets and demand for capital equipment remained soft through year-end, which led to fourth quarter results that were below our expectations for our three segments,” commented Clay Williams, Chairman, President, and CEO. “The resurgence of COVID-19 caused customers to defer orders and resulted in a slower pace of bookings in the second half of the quarter; however, we still achieved a sequential increase in orders of 27 percent for our Completion & Production Solutions segment and a 105 percent book-to-bill for our Rig Technologies segment.”

“Despite the challenging operating environment for our later-cycle business and our ongoing investments in developing new products and technologies, free cash flow remained healthy and in-line with prior guidance. While we expect continued softness in our first quarter 2021 results, we are optimistic that improving commodity prices, rising activity, and the actions we are taking to position NOV for the future will result in improved profitability over the course of 2021.”

The Company is finalizing its financial close process for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 and will provide complete results in a press release issued after market close on Thursday, February 4, 2021.
