HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 27, 2022-- NOV Inc. (NYSE: NOV) today reported second quarter 2022 revenues of $1.73 billion, an increase of 12 percent compared to the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 22 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021. Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $69 million, or 4.0 percent of sales, which included $14 million of Other Items (see Corporate Information for additional details). Operating profit was $68 million, or 3.9% of sales, and included $14 million of Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially to $150 million, or 8.7 percent of sales.

“NOV’s second quarter results reflect improving execution, customer demand, and pricing,” stated Clay Williams, Chairman, President, and CEO. “Our team was better able to navigate through persistent global supply chain challenges, improving our ability to meet the rising demand for our critical product and technologies and resulting in significantly improved profitability.

“Diminished global oil and gas inventories and productive capacity; rising energy security risks; and higher commodity prices are spurring increased oilfield activity. However, the industry is struggling to ramp up following years of downsizing and underinvestment. The urgent need to rebuild oilfield service capabilities remains constrained by the limited availability, of certain critical components; freight and logistics challenges; tightness in many labor markets; inflationary pressures; and higher costs-of-capital for oilfield enterprises.

“Nevertheless, NOV’s second quarter book-to-bill exceeded 100 percent for the fifth quarter in a row, a key indication that the industry is embracing its critical mission of restoring its capabilities to provide oil and gas supply to an energy-starved global economy. As the early phase of this up-cycle advances, the people of NOV are diligently working to assist our vital industry in its efforts to alleviate challenges in meeting the world’s need for affordable, secure, and clean energy supplies,” concluded Williams.

Wellbore Technologies

Wellbore Technologies generated revenues of $666 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 10 percent from the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 44 percent from the second quarter of 2021. Operating profit was $81 million, or 12.2 percent of sales, and included $7 million of Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased $21 million sequentially and $59 million from the prior year to $122 million, or 18.3 percent of sales. Improved results were driven by continued growth in the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East, market share gains, higher prices, and improved management of ongoing supply chain disruptions.

Completion & Production Solutions

Completion & Production Solutions generated revenues of $639 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 21 percent from the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 29 percent from the second quarter of 2021. Operating profit was $20 million, or 3.1 percent of sales, and included $1 million in Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased $22 million sequentially and $28 million from the prior year to $32 million, or 5.0 percent of sales. Growing demand for oil and gas equipment and improving execution against ongoing supply chain challenges and operational disruptions in shipyards drove improved results for the segment.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $530 million, representing a book-to-bill of 132 percent when compared to the $401 million of orders shipped from backlog. As of June 30, 2022, backlog for capital equipment orders for Completion & Production Solutions was $1.44 billion, an increase of 6 percent from the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 44 percent from the second quarter of 2021.

Rig Technologies

Rig Technologies generated revenues of $462 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of five percent from the first quarter of 2022 and a decrease of five percent from the second quarter of 2021. Operating profit was $31 million, or 6.7 percent of sales, and included ($8) million of Other Items. Adjusted EBITDA increased $5 million sequentially and decreased $34 million from the prior year to $41 million, or 8.9 percent of sales. Growing demand for the segment’s aftermarket products and services as a result of increased global drilling activity levels, and the rising number of offshore wind power installation vessel projects drove the sequential improvement in results.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $140 million, representing a book-to-bill of 80 percent when compared to the $174 million of orders shipped from backlog. As of June 30, 2022, backlog for capital equipment orders for Rig Technologies was $2.84 billion.

Corporate Information

During the second quarter, the Company recognized $14 million of Other Items due to restructuring costs, net of related credits (see Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss).

Cash flow used in operations was $124 million for the quarter driven primarily by the funding of working capital to support growth of the business and the payment of a $51 million transfer pricing tax assessment in Denmark. The Company and its advisors believe the assessment is without merit, is presently appealing, and believes it will be reimbursed following a successful appeals process.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total debt of $1.72 billion, with $2.00 billion available on its primary revolving credit facility, and $1.22 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

Significant Achievements

NOV’s Rig Technologies segment was awarded contracts to reactivate eleven idle jack-up rigs in Singapore and China in preparation for work in the Middle East. As the global jack-up rig market recovery begins to accelerate, key drilling contractor customers are depending on NOV’s OEM aftermarket parts and service capabilities to return idle assets back to service, allowing NOV’s customers to bid from advantaged positions and deliver best in class performance in upcoming drilling campaigns.

NOV’s Grant Prideco drill pipe business won several orders for its premium drill pipe in the Middle East. In Qatar, NOV was awarded an order that will be the first land project for Grant Prideco’s Delta™ 544 connection in this key growth market. Delta’s market penetration continues to accelerate as its extensive track record of offering lower total cost of ownership with no compromises on performance is becoming more apparent to customers in the region. NOV also received orders for premium drill pipe that will enable three rigs in Saudi Arabia to drill some of the world’s most challenging onshore wells.

NOV‘s NOVOS™ process automation system continued to expand its presence in the key market of Saudi Arabia. During the second quarter, NOV received an order from a major oilfield service company to install NOVOS on six rigs. NOV will also provide automation lifecycle management services through a licensing agreement and will leverage NOVOS’ expanded functionality, enhanced rig control, and open-access operating platform to assist the customer in deploying custom applications on the rigs in an integrated manner. NOVOS is already included as a standard feature of the fifty rigs NOV is building at its new manufacturing facility in the Kingdom.

NOV’s Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) operation won a contract to deliver a dual drill string isolation tool (DSIT) package and Cyberbase™ upgrade for a major offshore drilling contractor’s ultra-deepwater drillship. The DSIT will enable the customer to quickly close the riser below the termination joint, allowing gas in the riser to be circulated out safely and efficiently. The super-major operator to which the drillship is contracted has approved the DSIT as a riser safety closing device for use with their enhanced controlled mud level system. The package is now under consideration to be the new operating standard for both the operator and the drilling contractor.

NOV was awarded an order to design and equip a special hybrid wind turbine and foundation installation vessel, which is a bespoke version of the GustoMSC™ NG-20000X. The NG-20000X is designed for use in harsh environments and water depths of up to 70 meters using a telescopic leg crane with a capacity of up to 2,500 tons. This unique vessel is the third award from this customer, who has come to view NOV as a key partner in their pursuit of opportunities in the growing offshore wind energy market.

NOV’s Tuboscope operations won several key project awards for its TK™-Liner systems based on its ability to provide cost-effective alternatives to corrosion-resistant alloys (CRAs) and provide a proven solution for internal and external corrosion mitigation. These qualities facilitated the award of three new contracts for NOV’s TK-Liner technology supporting geothermal operations in the Netherlands. One of these orders, an 11 ¾-in. flush connection, represents a technical first for the geothermal industry and required significant engineering to establish a flush connection for a Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) lining, a crucial differentiating factor when compared to competitive threaded and coupled products. The business also secured a contract with a national oil company to provide TK™-Liner system with Tubo-Wrap™ coating for a critical injector well.

NOV’s XL Systems wedge thread technology was chosen for use in a key geothermal project in California. Identified by the customer as an ideal fit for their geothermal wells, the metal-to-metal thread fit seals of XLF connections provide the robust sealing performance required in the elevated temperatures found throughout the casing string in geothermal wells, allowing for efficient operations and improved cementing results.

NOV received an order to provide its Bondstrand^TMfiberglass glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) piping for two X-Class Wind Turbine Installation Vessels. The first X-Class vessel will be delivered in the third quarter of 2024 and has already been contracted by a renewable energy company to transport and install 100 14MW wind turbines at the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm in the North Sea.
