NOV Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

July 27, 2021 at 6:50 PM EDT

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 27, 2021-- NOV Inc. (NYSE: NOV) today reported second quarter 2021 revenues of $1.42 billion, an increase of 13 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of five percent compared to the second quarter of 2020. Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $26 million, or 1.8 percent of sales, which included pre-tax net charges (“Other Items”, see Other Corporate Items for additional detail) of $15 million. Adjusted EBITDA (operating profit excluding depreciation, amortization, and Other Items) increased sequentially to $104 million, or 7.3 percent of sales.

“Rising demand in oilfield and offshore wind markets led to stronger orders for NOV during the second quarter,” stated Clay Williams, Chairman, President and CEO. “Both Rig Technologies and Completion & Production Solutions segments posted book-to-bill ratios north of 100%. Wellbore Technologies continued to execute well on modestly higher oilfield activity, generating its second quarter in a row of double-digit revenue growth with leverage greater than 50 percent.”

“While our second quarter financial results continued to reflect 2020’s historic decline in oilfield activity and orders, we are encouraged by rising inquiries and activity, and we believe post-pandemic global economic recovery will spur further top-line growth. In the meantime, government-mandated shutdowns continue to disrupt global supply chains, limit raw material availability, and pose challenges for our workforce. NOV did a better job navigating these headwinds in the second quarter, while continuing to advance the Company’s leading-edge technology offerings for the oilfield and renewables markets. NOV’s portfolio of newly-developed technologies positions the Company well to take advantage of what we believe is the beginning of a multi-year growth market for both conventional and clean energy technologies.”

Wellbore Technologies

Wellbore Technologies generated revenues of $463 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 12 percent from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of five percent from the second quarter of 2020. The increase in revenues was driven by continued growth in North American activity levels and a slight improvement in international markets. Operating profit was $6 million, or 1.3 percent of sales, and included $18 million of Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased $29 million sequentially to $63 million, or 13.6 percent of sales.

Completion & Production Solutions

Completion & Production Solutions generated revenues of $497 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 13 percent from the first quarter of 2021 and a decrease of 19 percent from the second quarter of 2020. Improved sales volume in six of the segment’s eight business units drove the improvement in revenue despite continued COVID operational disruptions. Operating loss was $6 million, or 1.2 percent of sales, and included -$6 million in Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million sequentially to $4 million, or 0.8 percent of sales.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $462 million, representing a book-to-bill of 167 percent when compared to the $276 million of orders shipped from backlog. At June 30, 2021, backlog for capital equipment orders for Completion & Production Solutions was $1.0 billion.

Rig Technologies

Rig Technologies generated revenues of $487 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 13 percent from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of two percent from the second quarter of 2020. Second quarter revenues included $74 million related to the final settlement from the cancellation of offshore rig projects. Operating profit was $49 million, or 10.1 percent of sales, and included $8 million of Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA, which includes $57 million from the settlement, increased $62 million sequentially to $75 million, or 15.4 percent of sales.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $232 million, representing a book-to-bill of 138 percent when compared to the $168 million of orders shipped from backlog. At June 30, 2021, backlog for capital equipment orders for Rig Technologies was $2.66 billion.

Other Corporate Items

During the second quarter, the Company recognized $15 million of Other Items, primarily due to severance, facility closures and inventory write downs, net of related credits. See reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.

Cash flow provided by operations for the second quarter was $177 million and capital expenditures totaled $49 million. During the second quarter, the Company repaid the $183 million (face value) of its 2.60% unsecured Senior Notes due December 2022 using available cash balances. Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total debt of $1.69 billion, with $2.00 billion available on its revolving credit facility, and $1.57 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

Significant Achievements

NOV continued its expansion into the offshore wind energy market, utilizing the Company’s expertise in heavy lift and marine design to accelerate the evolution of the next generation of offshore wind equipment. During the quarter, NOV signed a contract for the design and jacking systems for a European client’s new wind installation vessel in addition to a contract for a heavy lift crane upgrade to an existing wind installation vessel that will give it the capability to install next-generation wind turbines. NOV also successfully tested its new in-line chain tensioner that facilitates the offloading of floating wind turbines as well as the mooring operations of FPSO systems, which led to a subsequent project award.

NOV continues to drive innovation in the managed pressure drilling (MPD) market and delivered its first project that integrates the NOVOS™ drilling system and the MPowerD™ MPD system, which enables the automation of multiple drilling sequences with precise pressure control, creating significant drilling time efficiencies while also fostering a safer drilling process. The success of this initial project, which utilized our single-choke 1500SE system, led to an award of three additional packages, for which NOV will provide field operations support, MPD planning advisory, and its 1500SE system.

NOV continued to expand its market with the Company’s growing portfolio of products that enable customers to reduce their carbon footprint while improving economics. NOV worked with a customer to design and deliver a proprietary system that automatically tilts and orients a sailing mast, improving the efficiencies of sails on large vessels. The initial application of this system is for a large cruise ship but can also be used on large cargo vessels. The wind propulsion technology will supplement conventional propulsion systems and is expected to reduce the ship’s carbon footprint by 40 to 50%.

NOV received a contract award to supply a large submerged turret production (STP) system for a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the Barossa gas field offshore of Australia. NOV’s STP system with swivel is designed for high pressures, temperatures, and volumes to transfer all fluids, data, and power between the subsea system and the FPSO, which is designed for a 25-year life of uninterrupted operation without drydocking.

NOV secured a repeat order for our PowerBlade™ hybrid energy storage and regeneration system, which provides up to a 70% reduction in power consumption of the draw-works and significantly reduces drilling rig emissions. NOV also collaborated with a customer to design an interface for unique energy and carbon optimization solutions, enabling the customer to deliver a rig that utilizes smart controls to optimize power deployment and battery storage.

NOV delivered the industry’s first 3 million-pound, 20,000 psi-rated landing string. NOV worked closely with its customers for more than six years to develop a product that meets the offshore market’s most challenging needs. Designed to provide higher tensile capacity, increased elevator capacity, and greater slip-crushing resistance, Grant Prideco™ landing strings are optimized to provide the highest-possible tensile strength to enable running and landing casing and other heavy equipment on offshore wells, particularly in deep water.

NOV technology continued to enable geothermal operators to overcome some of the most challenging drilling conditions. An initial run using ReedHycalog’s™ PDC ION+™ 3D shaped cutters significantly exceeded a key customer’s expectations in an ultrahard rock formation, resulting in the customer’s decision to utilize NOV’s bits on all wells in their critical geothermal research project that will be drilled in the second half of 2021.

NOV won a large contract to supply 59,875 ft of TK-Liner for geothermal wells in the Netherlands. In the past three years, Tuboscope has provided more than 70,000 ft of large-diameter TK-Liner products for the Netherlands’ geothermal market. Available in a variety of connection options, this engineered system is proven to prevent corrosion, reduce heat loss, and minimize friction.

NOV has secured orders for seawater treatment, gas dehydration, and produced water treatment modules for two separate FPSOs to be operated offshore Brazil. The orders demonstrate NOV’s ability to combine global process systems execution capabilities with local content, placing NOV in a strong position for a growing FPSO market in Brazil.

NOV offered the most efficient bit selection for an important drilling campaign in Oman. Our 17½-in. Falcon™ bit, featuring ION™-Alpha cutters, successfully drilled the entire 3,202-m section from shoe to total depth at a ROP of 104 ft/hr, beating the field’s previous best ROP performance by more than 18%. The 12¼-in. Falcon bit, including ION and ION-3D cone and DiamondBacks™ cutters, was used to successfully drill an entire planned interval of 4,019 ft in one run, achieving a 118-ft/hr ROP, outclassing the best competitor field run by 46%. 

NOV’s Subsea Production Systems business unit was awarded two large contracts in Brazil. The first contract includes 212 miles of flexible pipe for oil production, gas injection, water injection, and gas export. The pipe will be utilized in the Post-Salt Campos Basin as well as the Pre-Salt Santos Basin, where water depths range from 4,900 to 8,200 ft. The order, which also includes loading, storage, installation, and technical services, is the second largest contract in the history of the Subsea Production Systems business unit. Additionally, the second contract awarded in Brazil was for 57 miles of flexible gas lift risers.
