  • National Oilwell Varco Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results

    National Oilwell Varco, Inc. today reported a fourth quarter 2016 net loss of $714 million, or $1.90 per share. Excluding other items, net loss for the quarter was $57 million, or $0.15 per share. Other items totaled $706 million, pretax, and were primarily associated with inventory charges, facility closures, and severance.

    Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $1.69 billion, an increase of three percent compared to the third quarter of 2016 and a decrease of 38 percent from the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $766 million, or 45.3 percent of sales. Excluding other items, operating loss was $72 million, or 4.3 percent of sales. Adjusted EBITDA (operating profit excluding other items before depreciation and amortization) for the fourth quarter was $102 million, or 6.0 percent of sales, an increase of $34 million from the third quarter of 2016. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter was$153 million.

    Revenues for the full year 2016 were $7.25 billion, operating loss was $2.41 billion, and net loss was $2.41 billion, or $6.41 per share. Excluding other items, net loss was $320 million, or $0.84 per share, and operating loss was $381 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $322 million, or 4.4 percent of sales, and cash flow from operations was $960 million.

    “We are very encouraged by our results, as our fourth quarter consolidated revenues increased for the first time since the downturn began in late 2014,” commented Clay Williams, Chairman, President and CEO. “Three of our four reporting segments generated higher sequential revenues in the fourth quarter, and overall Adjusted EBITDA margins increased 190 basis points on strong incremental leverage. Our efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiencies through the past two years of this difficult downturn are driving improving performance, and I am grateful for the continued hard work and dedication of our employees.”

    “For the first time in many years, the Company’s total revenues from land markets exceeded its total revenue from offshore, driven by sharply rising demand in North America. The Company has continued to enhance its portfolio of technologies that drive better economics for our customers, such as drilling automation and optimization, horizontal drilling tools, completion technologies and big-data analytics. The investments we have made and our continuous focus on optimizing the efficiency of the organization leave us well positioned to capitalize on improving industry fundamentals, and we look forward to a brighter year ahead.”

    Significant Events and Achievements

    NOV’s eVolve™ automation and optimization services was awarded a project in the Anadarko Basin. The project will incorporate NOV’s NOVOSTM process automation platform; IntelliServTM networked drillstring; TrueDrillTM application, which drives the rig’s autodriller with downhole weight-on-bit measurement for faster drilling; wired AgitatorTM and drilling jar assemblies to allow extended laterals while maintaining high-speed downhole communication; and BlackStreamTM Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tool, which provides real-time downhole drilling measurements used to determine curve build rates and improve borehole quality.

    NOV acquired a symmetric propagation wave resistivity logging while drilling (LWD) technology, which is being integrated into the Company’s directional drilling bottom hole assembly (BHA) platform. In addition to the new LWD technology, the platform will include advanced TolteqTM MWD tools, VectorTM Rotary Steerable System and Reed HycalogTM Drill Bits. NOV plans to provide customers with a complete suite of drilling and measurement tools that improve well placement and allow for more precise geosteering in horizontal drilling applications. Real-time broadband communication of the data captured from the advanced BHA will be enabled through IntelliServ wired drill pipe, and the system will be optimally configured to leverage the full capabilities of NOV’s NOVOS process automation drilling control system.

    NOV ReedHycalog introduced its Reflektor™ 3D polished cutters, an impact and thermal resistant shaped cutter technology for harsh rock drilling. The cutting-edge geometry significantly improves drilling efficiency in medium to high strength formations. Customers using the new cutters on NOV’s Tektonic™ drill bits have averaged 20% improvements in rate of penetration.

    NOV Grant PridecoTM introduced DeltaTM, its fourth-generation drill pipe connection. Delta delivers enhanced mechanical performance and improved total-cost-of-ownership relative to Grant Prideco’s XT® connection. The connection is easier to run in the field and provides wider field inspection tolerances to reduce repair frequencies, making it an ideal solution for horizontal land applications. Since its release, NOV has sold multiple strings of drill pipe with Delta connections for use in U.S. shale plays.

    NOV booked an order from an independent U.S. service provider for 75,000 HHP of hydraulic fracture stimulation pumps and associated support equipment. The order is expected to be delivered over the first half of 2017.

    NOV completed the acquisition of Axiom Process Ltd. (Axiom), an Aberdeen-based manufacturer of solids separations technologies, to complement the Company’s existing BRANDTTM Solids Control portfolio. Axiom’s unique shale shaker design features interchangeable operational modes for improved fluid handling capacity and solids separation efficiency. The transaction provides NOV the opportunity to combine the best attributes of the Axiom and BRANDT technologies to deliver next-generation shale shakers and allows current Axiom customers to benefit from NOV’s expansive global distribution and service infrastructure.

    NOV Tuboscope’s Zap-Lok™ coating was approved for gas flow line applications by the technology board of the national oil company in Argentina, creating a new market for NOV. Zap-Lok is a safe, high-speed, cost-effective mechanical pipeline connection used in both onshore and offshore applications.

    NOV’s MPowerD™ rotating control drive (RCD) qualified for a five-year managed pressure drilling (MPD) operation in the North Sea. The qualification provides NOV with the opportunity to pursue the work with its existing RCD product, and the framework of the qualification also allows NOV to introduce upcoming MPD technologies into the project.

    NOV and Maersk Drilling entered a five-year partnership to improve maintenance cost predictability for NOV drilling equipment on seven of the driller’s offshore floating rigs. Under the agreement, the driller is moving away from calendar-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance. Enabled by NOV’s remote connectivity services, continuous data collection and analysis, Maersk and NOV can carry out the right level of maintenance, at the right time, without interfering with drilling schedules.

    In December, NOV set a field record for the most footage drilled in a 24-hour period with a single drill bit in the Hibernia oil field off the coast of Newfoundland. NOV ReedHycalog’s 17-1/2” SK716-A1 drill bit drilled 3,500 feet, surpassing the previous record by 217 feet.

    NOV Grant Prideco released the industry’s first-ever welded 7-5/8” drill pipe for use in offshore completion and intervention applications. The 7-5/8” intervention string with MaxIt™ connections was used by a major operator in a Deepwater Gulf of Mexico completion application in the fourth quarter. The operator reduced slip-to-slip times 62% while tripping and reduced overall completion time by 3-1/2 hours using NOV’s drill pipe product in place of premium casing. In addition, because no specialized casing crews or equipment were required to run the product, NOV delivered substantial cost-savings to the operator.

    Other Corporate Items

    As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $1.41 billion in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $3.21 billion, a decrease of $2 million from September 30, 2016. NOV had $4.5 billion available on its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2016. The unsecured facility matures in September of 2018 and is subject to one primary covenant, a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60 percent. As of December 31, 2016, NOV had a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 18.7 percent.

    Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Conference Call
