NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO ANNOUNCES

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 EARNINGS

HOUSTON, TX, February 3, 2015 — National Oilwell Varco, Inc. (NYSE: NOV) today reported that for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, it earned net income from continuing operations of $595 million, or $1.39 per fully diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $699 million, or $1.62 per fully diluted share in the third quarter of 2014 and $627 million, or $1.46 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding $163 million in pre-tax other items, which includes asset impairment costs and a loss associated with a divestiture, net income was $721 million, or $1.69 per fully diluted share, up four percent from the third quarter of 2014, and up 13 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013, excluding other items from all periods.

Revenues reported for the full year 2014 were $21.44 billion, and net income from continuing operations was $2.45 billion, or $5.70 per fully diluted share. Excluding other items, net income from continuing operations was $2.61 billion for the full year 2014, or $6.07 per fully diluted share. Operating profit for the full year 2014 was $3.56 billion. Operating profit for the full year, excluding other items, was $3.77 billion, or 17.6 percent of sales. EBITDA for the full year, excluding other items, was $4.59 billion, or 21.4 percent of sales, up 14 percent from the prior year.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $5.71 billion, an increase of two percent from the third quarter of 2014 and an increase of eight percent from the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating profit for the quarter, excluding other items, was $1.02 billion, or 17.8 percent of sales. EBITDA for the quarter, excluding other items, was $1.22 billion, or 21.3 percent of sales, up one percent from the prior quarter.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has repurchased and retired 11.6 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $66.97 for a total purchase price of $779 million, under the $3 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in September 2014.

Ending backlog for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $12.54 billion for the Company’s Rig Systems segment and $1.78 billion for the Company’s Completion & Production Solutions segment.

Clay C. Williams, Chairman, President and CEO of National Oilwell Varco, stated, “NOV accomplished a great deal in 2014, and I want to thank all of our employees for our record results. We completed the spin-off of our distribution business to our shareholders, we substantially increased our regular dividend and we launched a $3 billion share repurchase program. We also effected a reorganization of our operations to better serve our customers, while expanding our global reach and furthering our technology and product portfolio through the year.


Looking into 2015 we face a very challenging market. Our customers are sharply reducing their oilfield activity and expenditures. Nevertheless, NOV’s strong backlog of capital equipment orders, our leading service and technology franchises, strong financial resources and positive cash flow position us well to navigate this cyclical decline. In the meantime we will continue to pursue strategic opportunities arising from the current market, to position the Company to emerge better and stronger from this cyclical decline.”

Note 1: In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in our quarterly earnings press releases and other public disclosures. The primary non-GAAP financial measures we focus on are: (i) revenue excluding other items, (ii) operating profit excluding other items, (iii) operating profit percentage excluding other items, (iv) operating profit excluding other items before depreciation & amortization, (v) operating profit percentage excluding other items before depreciation & amortization (vi) EBITDA and (vii) Operating (non-GAAP) per fully diluted share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other items and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included here within.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s on-going economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
