Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of National Oilwell Varco, Inc. (“NOV” or “the Company”) present information in accordance with GAAP in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables were approximately the same as their presented carrying values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is provided in Note 8, and the fair values of derivative financial instruments are provided in Note 11.

2.	Inventories, net

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s international entities in which there is a substantial investment have the local currency as their functional currency. As a result, currency translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the entities’ financial statements into the reporting currency are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded income of $9 million and a loss of $171 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively and income of $18 million and $38 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

The effect of changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, until the underlying transactions are realized. The movement in other comprehensive income (loss) from period to period will be the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives of $23 million and ($33) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020; and, 2) the outflow of other comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives that have settled in the current period ($10 million and $14 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020).

Performance Obligations

Net revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to change orders.

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders for all revenue streams for which work has not been performed on contracts with original expected duration of one year or more. We do not disclose the remaining performance obligations of royalty contracts, service contracts for which there is a right to invoice, and short-term contracts that are expected to have a duration of one year or less. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,919 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $591 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in 2020 and $3,328 million in 2021 and thereafter.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets include unbilled amounts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer under contracts where revenue is recognized over-time. Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in excess of revenue recognized under over-time contracts, customer advance payments and deferred revenue.

The changes in the carrying amount of contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows (in millions):

	Contract Assets			Contract Liabilities
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	643		$	427

Leases

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment to support its operations around the world. These leases generally require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other operating costs in addition to rent. Renewal options are common in longer term leases; however, it is rare that the Company initially intends that a lease option will be exercised due to the cyclical nature of the Company’s business. Residual value guarantees are not typically part of the Company’s leases. Occasionally, the Company sub-leases excess facility space, generally at terms similar to the source lease. The Company reviews agreements at inception to determine if they include a lease and, when they do, uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the future lease payments as most do not include implicit interest rates.

Components of leases are as follows (in millions):

	June 30,		December 31,

Other debt		48		9
Total	$	2,029	$	1,989

The Company has a $2.0 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on October 30, 2024. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 29.4% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

Additionally, the Company has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia. Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance. Other debt at June 30, 2020 included $17 million on the books of consolidated joint ventures due to the minority interest partner.

The Company had $524 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2020, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,833 million and $1,947 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,981 million and $1,980 million, respectively.

9.	Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 35.1% and 8.7%, respectively, compared to 6.5% and 6.6% for the same periods in 2019. The company’s 2019 and 2020 effective tax rates are negatively impacted by incremental valuation allowances primarily on net operating loss and tax attributes available in those years and the impairment of nondeductible goodwill. Furthermore, the Company revised its estimated income tax benefit related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $123 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 in anticipation of filing a refund claim to carryback its 2019 United States net operating loss to its 2014 tax year. The Company refined its estimated income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in a reduction to the income tax benefit from $123 million to $100 million. The Company received a cash refund of $94 million in June 2020 and anticipates receiving an additional refund upon the filing of the final 2019 United States income tax return and final net operating loss carryback claim to 2014. The Company will complete these computations during the three months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the effective tax rate in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by an income tax benefit of $90 million related to the Company’s decision to amend its 2016 United States income tax return in order to deduct foreign taxes paid rather than to claim foreign tax credits which would carryforward and be expected to expire unused in 2026. The resulting net operating loss in 2016 will be carried back to the Company’s 2014 tax return and will result in a net income tax refund of $90 million. The income tax receivable of $90 million is recorded in Other Assets on the balance sheet as the Company believes the refund will not be received within twelve months.

10.	Stock-Based Compensation

On May 20, 2020, the Company granted 99,696 restricted stock awards with a fair value of $13.00 per share. The awards were granted to non-employee members of the board of directors and vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Total expense for all stock-based compensation arrangements was $28 million and $55 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively and $30 million and $63 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all stock-based compensation arrangements was nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and $4 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

11.	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit (cash flow hedge). The Company also executes forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on recognized nonfunctional currency monetary accounts (non-designated hedge).

The fair value of these derivative financial instruments are determined using level 2 inputs (inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability) in the fair value hierarchy as the fair value is based on publicly available foreign exchange and interest rates at each financial reporting date.

Forward currency contracts consist of (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company instituted a cash flow hedging program. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (e.g., in “revenues” when the hedged transactions are cash flows associated with forecasted revenues). The Company includes time value in hedge relationships.

The Company expects $15 million of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Non-designated Hedging Strategy

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge certain nonfunctional currency monetary accounts. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in other income (expense), together with the changes in the hedged nonfunctional monetary accounts.

The amount of gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense), net was $5 million and ($38) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and ($7) million and ($3) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company has the following fair values of its derivative instruments and their balance sheet classifications (in millions):

	Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
		Fair Value					Fair Value
	Balance Sheet	June 30,		December 31,		Balance Sheet	June 30,		December 31,

Cash dividends per share	$	—		$	0.05		$	0.05		$	0.10

Companies with unvested participating securities are required to utilize a two-class method for the computation of net income attributable to Company per share. The two-class method requires a portion of net income attributable to Company to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents if declared. Net income (loss) attributable to Company allocated to participating securities was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company had stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive totaling 28 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 25 million and 21 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

13.	Cash Dividends

Cash dividends were nil and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $19 million and $38 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors.

14.	Asset Impairments

Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company tests intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate they could be impaired. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to: a sustained increase in worldwide inventories of oil or gas, sustained reductions in: worldwide oil and gas prices or drilling activity; the profitability or cash flow of oil and gas companies or drilling contractors; available financing or other capital for oil and gas companies or drilling contractors; the market capitalization of the Company or its customers; or, capital investments by drilling companies and oil and gas companies.

During the first quarter of 2020 the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread across the world, driving sharp demand destruction for crude oil as whole economies ordered curtailed activity. Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries (OPEC+), including Russia, increased production into the already oversupplied market, decimating oil prices. The result was the Company’s stock price reaching a new low during the quarter and its market capitalization falling below its carrying value. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a key benchmark for the US oil market, fell more than $40 per barrel from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 (losing two thirds of its value in 90 days) to its lowest level in nearly two decades. As travel restrictions and government directives to shut down businesses increased, demand was expected to continue declining in the second quarter of 2020. Management reduced its forecast accordingly.

In the Company’s view, falling rig count levels in the first quarter and a depressed outlook provided evidence to the equity markets that oil and gas producers were committed to reduced levels of capital investment in drilling, which will further reduce levels of demand for capital equipment and oilfield services that the Company sells to its customers. Also, due to the prolonged poor market conditions, capital availability to many of the Company’s customers became even more limited and is unlikely to improve near-term. In management’s judgement the facts and circumstances including those described above constituted a triggering event in the first quarter which indicated the Company’s goodwill and other long-lived assets may be impaired. The Company performed a detailed analysis under ASC 350, incorporating this refined outlook, which determined that the fair values were less than the respective carrying values for all of the Company’s business units (“Reporting Units”).

The Company primarily uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its Reporting Units when conducting the impairment test, but also considers the comparable companies and representative transaction methods to validate the test result and management’s forecast and other expectations, where possible. The valuation techniques used in the test were consistent with those used during previous testing. Fair value of the Reporting Unit is determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs are based on internal management estimates, forecasts and judgements, using discounted cash flow. The inputs used in the test were updated to reflect management’s judgement, current market conditions and forecasts.

The discounted cash flow was based on management’s forecast of operating performance for each Reporting Unit. The two main assumptions used, which bear the risk of change and could impact the test result, include the forecast cash flow from operations from each of the Company’s Reporting Units and their respective weighted average cost of capital. The starting point for each of the Reporting Unit’s cash flow from operations was the detailed forecast, modified to incorporate our revised outlook, as appropriate. The Reporting Unit carrying values were adjusted based on the long-lived asset impairment assessment noted below. Cash flows beyond the plan or forecast were estimated using a terminal value calculation which incorporated historical and forecasted financial cyclical trends for each Reporting Unit and considered long-term earnings growth rates. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgement must be applied to determine whether credit changes are a short-term or long-term trend.

For the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $1,295 million in impairment charges to goodwill and $83 million in charges to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Following the impairment charges, several Reporting Units did not have a fair value substantially in excess of their book value. Further deterioration of market conditions, in management’s judgement, beyond those incorporated into the extended forecast by management, will likely result in additional impairment charges. The remaining goodwill balance for these Reporting Units at June 30, 2020 is as follows: Rig Equipment ($661 million), Marine Construction ($51 million), ReedHycalog ($124 million), M/D Totco ($10 million), Wellsite ($174 million), XL Systems ($64 million), Fiberglass Systems ($346 million), and Process and Flow Technologies ($63 million).

At June 30, 2020, the Company has approximately $1.49 billion of goodwill, by segment, as follows (in millions):

	Wellbore Technologies			Completion & Production Solutions			Rig Technologies			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	843		$	1,054		$	910		$	2,807
Impairment		(517	)		(580	)		(198	)		(1,295	)
Additions		4			—			—			4

Balance at June 30, 2020	$	308		$	473		$	712		$	1,493

Accumulated goodwill impairment was $7,261 million at June 30, 2020.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets)

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, right of use, and identified intangible assets, comprise a significant amount of the Company’s total assets. The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and estimated useful lives.

The Company identified its Reporting Units as individual asset groups. The carrying values of these asset groups are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. We estimate the fair value of these intangible and fixed assets using an income approach that requires the Company to make long-term forecasts of its future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts require assumptions about demand for the Company’s products and services, future market conditions and technological developments. The forecasts are dependent upon assumptions including those regarding oil and gas prices, the general outlook for the global oil and gas industry, available financing for the Company’s customers, political stability in major oil and gas producing areas, and the potential obsolescence of various types of equipment we sell, among other factors. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our income forecast. Changes to these assumptions, including, but not limited to: sustained declines in worldwide rig counts below current analysts’ forecasts; collapse of spot and futures prices for oil and gas; significant deterioration of external financing for our customers; higher risk premiums or higher cost of equity; or any other significant adverse economic news could require a provision for impairment.

During the first quarter of 2020, the results of the Company's test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and the other negative market indicators described above, were a triggering event that indicated that its long-lived tangible assets and finite-lived intangible assets were impaired.

Impairment testing performed in the first quarter resulted in the determination that certain long-lived assets associated with most of the Company’s asset groups were not recoverable. The estimated fair value of these asset groups was below the carrying value and as a result, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $209 million to customer relationships, patents, trademarks, tradenames, and other finite-lived intangible assets, $262 million to property, plant and equipment, and $42 million for right-of-use assets. Additionally, the Company recorded a $224 million impairment on its equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company has approximately $525 million of identified intangible assets, by segment, as follows (in millions):

	Wellbore Technologies			Completion & Production Solutions			Rig Technologies			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	326		$	275		$	251		$	852

15.	Commitments and Contingencies

Our business is governed by laws and regulations promulgated by U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory agencies, as well as international governmental authorities in the many countries in which we conduct business, including those related to the oilfield service industry. In the United States these governmental authorities include: the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls, state and international environmental agencies and many others. We are unaware of any material unreserved liabilities in connection with our compliance with such laws. New laws, regulations and enforcement policies may result in additional, presently unquantifiable or unknown, costs or liabilities.

The Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The Company maintains insurance that covers many of the claims arising from risks associated with the business activities of the Company, including claims for premises liability, product liability and other such claims. The Company carries substantial insurance to cover such risks above a self-insured retention. The Company believes, and the Company’s experience has been, that such insurance has been enough to cover such risks. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company is also a party to claims, threatened and actual litigation, private arbitration, internal investigations of potential regulatory and compliance matters arising from ordinary day-to-day business activities in which parties, including government authorities, assert claims against the Company for a broad spectrum of potential claims and theories of liability, including: individual employment law claims, collective actions or class actions under employment laws, intellectual property claims, (such as alleged patent infringement, and/or misappropriation of trade secrets), premises liability claims, environmental, product liability claims, warranty claims, personal injury claims arising from allegedly defective products, negligence or other theories of liability, alleged regulatory violations, alleged violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and other commercial claims seeking recovery for alleged actual or exemplary damages or fines and penalties. For some contingent claims, the Company’s insurance coverage is inapplicable or an exclusion to coverage may apply. In such instances, settlement or other resolution of such contingent claims could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. As of June 30, 2020, the Company recorded reserves in an amount believed to be sufficient, given the range of potential outcomes, for contingent liabilities representing all contingencies believed to be probable. These reserves include all costs expected for reclamation of a closed barite mine and product liability claims, as well as other circumstances involving material claims.

The Company has assessed the potential for additional losses above the amounts accrued as well as potential losses for matters that are not probable but are reasonably possible. The litigation process as well as the outcome of regulatory oversight is inherently uncertain, and our best judgement concerning the probable outcome of litigation or regulatory enforcement matters may prove to be incorrect in some instances. The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially affect our financial position, cash flow or results of operations. These estimated liabilities are based on the Company’s assessment of the nature of these matters, their progress toward resolution, the advice of legal counsel and outside experts as well as management’s experience. Of course, because of uncertainty and risk inherent to litigation and arbitration, the actual liabilities incurred may exceed our estimated liabilities and reserves, which could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. In many instances, the Company’s products and services embody or incorporate trade secrets or patented inventions. From time to time, we are engaged in disputes concerning protection of trade secrets and confidential information, patents and other intellectual property rights. Such disputes frequently involve complex, factual, technical and/or legal issues which result in high costs to adjudicate our rights and difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome. Because of the importance of the Company’s intellectual property to the Company’s performance, an adverse result in such disputes could materially and adversely impact our financial performance.

Further, in some instances, direct or indirect consumers of our products and services, entities providing financing for purchases of our products and services or members of the supply chain for our products and services have become involved in governmental investigations, internal investigations, political or other enforcement matters. In such circumstances, such investigations may adversely impact the ability of consumers of our products, entities providing financial support to such consumers or entities in the supply chain to timely perform their business plans or to timely perform under agreements with us. We may, from time to time, become involved in these investigations, at substantial cost to the Company. We also are subject to trade regulations and other regulatory compliance in which the laws and regulations of different jurisdictions conflict or trade regulations may conflict with contractual terms. In such circumstances, our compliance with U.S. laws and regulations may subject us to risk of fines, penalties or contractual liability in other jurisdictions. Our efforts to actively manage such risks may not always be successful which could lead to negative impacts on revenue or earnings.

The Company is exposed to customs and regulatory risk in the countries in which we do business or to which we transport goods. For example, the effects of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, known as Brexit, may have a negative impact on our results from operations. Uncertainty concerning the legal and regulatory risks of Brexit, include: (i) supply chain risks resulting from lack of trade agreements, potential changes in customs administrations or tariffs; (ii) revenue risk, loss of customers or increased costs; (iii) delays in delivery of materials to the Company or delay in delivery by the Company; and (iv) the need for renegotiation of agreements; and other business disruptions. In addition, trade regulations and laws may adversely impact our ability to do business in certain countries, e.g.: Iran, Syria, Russia, China and Venezuela. Such trade regulations can be complex and present compliance challenges which could result in future liabilities.

As a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks. “Shelter-in-Place” and other governmental orders and restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a severe slowdown in economic activity, and a sharp reduction in oil activity and a corresponding decline in demand for oil. This has and will lead to a sharp reduction in drilling activity in North America and reduction of activity internationally. The persistence of this supply/demand imbalance caused oil prices to drop precipitously, to the lowest prices in decades. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact many jurisdictions and continues to disrupt normal economic activities. As a result, the demand for energy continues to be constrained with continued adverse consequences for our customers and for the Company.

As a result of these market conditions, demand for our products and services has declined. Our customers may attempt to cancel or delay projects, cancel contracts or may invoke force majure clauses. Our customers may also seek to delay or may default on their payments to us. Further, we have seen, and expect to see, an increasing number of energy companies filing bankruptcy. Our collection of receivables could be materially delayed and/or impaired.

The Company also may be exposed to liabilities resulting from operational delays due to supply chain disruption and closure or limitations imposed on our facilities and work force, from “shelter in place” orders around the world. The Company’s ability to perform services could also be impaired and the Company could be exposed to liabilities resulting from interruption in its ability to perform due to limited manpower and travel restrictions. These potential operational and service delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could result in contractual or other legal claims from our customers. At this time, it is not possible to quantify these risks, but the combination of these factors could have a material impact on our financial results.

16.	New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2020, with no material impact. The Company estimates its reserves using information about past events, current conditions and risk characteristics of each customer, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing risk associated with the collectability of Trade Accounts Receivables, Contract Assets, Unbilled Accounts Receivables, and Long-Term Receivables. The Company’s customer base, mostly in the oil and gas industry, have generally similar collectability risk characteristics, although larger and state-owned customers may have lower risk than smaller independent customers. As of June 30, 2020, allowance for bad debts and contract assets totaled $117 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Rig Technologies supports land and offshore drillers. Demand for the segment’s products depends on drilling contractors’ and oil and gas companies’ capital spending plans, specifically capital expenditures on rig construction and refurbishment; and secondarily on the overall level of oilfield drilling activity, which drives demand for spare parts, service, and repair for the segment’s large installed base of equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified our most critical accounting policies. In preparing the financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments that are most critical in nature which are related to revenue recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory reserves; impairment of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets); goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; purchase price allocation of acquisitions; warranties; and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe are reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company generated revenues of $1.50 billion, compared to $1.88 billion for the first quarter of 2020 and $2.13 billion for the second quarter of 2019. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $100 million, and net loss was $93 million. Operating loss and net loss include non-cash, pre-tax charges (“other items”, see Other Corporate Items for additional detail) of $102 million. Adjusted EBITDA (operating profit excluding depreciation, amortization, and other items) decreased $94 million sequentially to $84 million, or 5.6 percent of sales. Other items included inventory charges, impairment charges, severance accruals, and restructuring costs.

Segment Performance

Wellbore Technologies

Wellbore Technologies generated revenues of $442 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 36 percent from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 48 percent from the second quarter of 2019. The sequential decline in revenue was driven primarily by the severe fall in global drilling activity, particularly in North America and Latin America. Operating loss was $67 million, or -15.2 percent of sales, and included $62 million of other items. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 59 percent sequentially to $42 million, or 9.5 percent of sales.

Completion & Production Solutions

Completion & Production Solutions generated revenues of $611 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of nine percent from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of eight percent from the second quarter of 2019. Operating profit was $42 million, or 6.9 percent of sales, and included $12 million in other items. Deteriorating conditions in the global completions market and logistical disruptions from COVID-19-related restrictions were partially offset by strong execution on existing backlog. Adjusted EBITDA decreased four percent sequentially to $68 million, or 11.1 percent of sales.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $196 million, representing a book-to-bill of 51 percent when compared to the $388 million of orders shipped from backlog. At June 30, 2020, backlog for capital equipment orders for Completion & Production Solutions was $1.0 billion.

Rig Technologies

Rig Technologies generated revenues of $476 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 15 percent from the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 29 percent from the second quarter of 2019. Operating loss was $25 million, or -5.3 percent of sales, and included $20 million of other items. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 75 percent sequentially to $14 million, or 2.9 percent of sales. Declining global rig activity combined with COVID-19-related logistics issues, which were particularly acute in the aftermarket business, drove the sequential decline in revenue and profitability.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $74 million, representing a book-to-bill of 34 percent when compared to the $219 million of orders shipped from backlog. At June 30, 2020, backlog for capital equipment orders for Rig Technologies was $2.79 billion.

Oil & Gas Equipment and Services Market and Outlook

Following approximately two and a half years of steady improvements in oil prices and global drilling activity levels, prices declined sharply during the fourth quarter of 2018 due to stronger than expected growth in U.S. production and concerns regarding the global economy. As a result of reduced budgets, and despite a modest recovery in commodity prices, drilling activity levels in the U.S. declined throughout 2019 resulting in the first double digit percentage decrease in the average annual rig count since 2016. While the North American market deteriorated, the new-found capital austerity and fiscal discipline exhibited by U.S. operators along with declining production from underinvestment in overseas markets and rapidly growing demand for LNG inspired greater levels of confidence from international oil and gas companies. The industry entered 2020 anticipating higher international and offshore activity levels would mostly offset the ongoing effects of capital austerity in the North American land marketplace, where a meaningful recovery was not expected before 2021.

During the first quarter of 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread across the world, driving sharp demand destruction for crude oil as whole economies ordered curtailed activity. In response to declining demand for crude oil, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries (OPEC+), including Russia, increased production into the already oversupplied market, decimating oil prices and rapidly filling worldwide storage facilities. In April 2020, OPEC+ began to reduce production, which had a muted positive effect on oil prices due to market concerns that the cuts were significantly less than the demand destructions caused by COVID-19. As a result, companies across the industry responded with severe capital spending budget cuts, cost cuts, personnel layoffs, facility closures and bankruptcy filings. The COVID-19 virus continued to spread during the second quarter of 2020, extending depressed demand, uncertainty and spending constraint by the entire oil and gas industry even as oil prices recovered and appeared to stabilize near $40 bbl.

In response to the economic destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments implemented stimulus programs to aid individuals and businesses. The size, method and effectiveness of these programs varies greatly and, although generally helpful to the target economies, they have not fully restored prior levels of demand for oil and gas.

Management expects industry activity levels and spending by customers to remain depressed throughout the remainder of 2020 as demand destruction from COVID-19 continues. NOV remains committed to streamlining operations and improving organizational efficiencies while focusing on investing in innovative products and services, including environmentally friendly technologies, that are responsive to the longer-term needs of our customers. We believe this strategy will further advance the Company’s competitive position, regardless of the market environment.

Operating Environment Overview

The Company’s results are dependent on, among other things, the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling, well remediation activity, the prices of crude oil and natural gas, capital spending by other oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, and worldwide oil and gas inventory levels.

Wellbore Technologies

Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Wellbore Technologies was $442 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $850 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $408 million or 48 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue from Wellbore Technologies was $1,133 million compared to $1,657 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, a decrease of $524 million or 32 percent.

Operating loss from Wellbore Technologies was $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3,295 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $3,228 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating loss from Wellbore Technologies was $730 million compared to $3,276 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,546 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

Completion & Production Solutions

Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Completion & Production Solutions was $611 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $663 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $52 million dollars or eight percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue from Completion & Production Solutions was $1,286 million compared to $1,244 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, an increase of $42 million or three percent.

Operating profit from Completion & Production Solutions was $42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to an operating loss of $1,932 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1,974 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating loss from Completion & Production Solutions was $971 million compared to $1,967 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, an increase of $996 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

The Completion & Productions Solutions segment monitors its capital equipment backlog to plan its business. New orders are added to backlog only when the Company receives a firm written order for major completion and production components or a contract related to a construction project. The capital equipment backlog was $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $215 million, or 18 percent from backlog of $1.22 million at June 30, 2019. Numerous factors may affect the timing of revenue out of backlog. Considering these factors, the Company reasonably expects approximately 67 percent of backlog to become revenue during the rest of 2020 and the remainder thereafter. At June 30, 2020, approximately 63 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 90 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Rig Technologies

Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Rig Technologies was $476 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $671 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $195 million or 29 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, revenue from Rig Technologies was $1,033 million compared to $1,274 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, a decrease of $241 million or 19 percent.

Operating loss from Rig Technologies was $25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $422 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $397 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating loss from Rig Technologies was $227 million compared to $391 million for the six months ending June 30, 2019, an increase of $164 million, primarily due to asset impairments.

The Rig Technologies segment monitors its capital equipment backlog to plan its business. New orders are added to backlog only when the Company receives a firm written order for major drilling rig components or a signed contract related to a construction project. The capital equipment backlog was $2.79 billion at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $381 million, or 12 percent, from backlog of $3.17 billion at June 30, 2019. Numerous factors may affect the timing of revenue out of backlog. Considering these factors, the Company reasonably expects approximately 12 percent of backlog to become revenue during the rest of 2020 and the remainder thereafter. At June 30, 2020, approximately 26 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 93 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Eliminations and corporate costs

Eliminations and corporate costs were $50 million and $122 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $79 million and $142 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Sales from one segment to another generally are priced at estimated equivalent commercial selling prices; however, segments originating an external sale are credited with the full profit to the company. Eliminations include intercompany transactions conducted between the three reporting segments that are eliminated in consolidation. Intrasegment transactions are eliminated within each segment.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net were expenses of $8 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to expenses of $8 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change in expense was primarily due to the fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Provision for income taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 35.1% and 8.7%, respectively, compared to 6.5% and 6.6% for the same periods in 2019. The company’s 2019 and 2020 effective tax rates are negatively impacted by incremental valuation allowances primarily on net operating loss and tax attributes available in those years and the impairment of nondeductible goodwill. Furthermore, the Company revised its estimated income tax benefit related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $123 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 in anticipation of filing a refund claim to carryback its 2019 United States net operating loss to its 2014 tax year. The Company refined its estimated income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in a reduction to the income tax benefit from $123 million to $100 million. The Company received a cash refund of $94 million in June 2020 and anticipates receiving an additional refund upon the filing of the final 2019 United States income tax return and final net operating loss carryback claim to 2014. The Company will finalize these computations during the three months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the effective tax rate in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by an income tax benefit of $90 million related to the Company’s decision to amend its 2016 United States income tax return in order to deduct foreign taxes paid rather than to claim foreign tax credits which would carryforward and be expected to expire unused in 2026. The resulting net operating loss in 2016 will be carried back to the Company’s 2014 tax return and will result in a net income tax refund of $90 million. The income tax receivable of $90 million is recorded in Other Assets on the balance sheet as the Company believes the refund will not be received within twelve months.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA (defined as Operating Profit excluding Depreciation, Amortization and, when applicable, Other Items) in its periodic earnings press releases and other public disclosures to provide investors additional information about the results of ongoing operations. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the business. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, such as Net Income. Other items include impairment charges for Goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, restructure costs for facility closures, inventory write downs, severance payments and adjustments of certain reserves.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,447 million and total debt of $2,029 million. At December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $1,171 million and total debt was $1,989 million. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $849 million of the $1,447 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries and the earnings associated with this cash could be subject to foreign withholding taxes and incremental U.S. taxation. If opportunities to invest in the U.S. are greater than available cash balances that are not subject to income tax, rather than repatriating cash, the Company may choose to borrow against its revolving credit facility.

The Company also has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia. Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance.

From time to time, we participate in factoring arrangements to sell accounts receivable to third-party financial institutions. Our factoring transactions are recognized as sales, and the proceeds are included as operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Our outstanding debt at June 30, 2020 was $2,029 million and consisted primarily of $399 million in 2.60% Senior Notes, $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, $493 million in 3.60% Senior Notes, and other debt of $48 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2020. Lease liabilities totaled $752 million at June 30, 2020.

We had $524 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2020, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by continuing operating activities, continuing investing activities and continuing financing activities for the periods presented (in millions):

	Six Months Ended

	2020			2019
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	417		$	(111	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(111	)		(156	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(27	)		(39	)

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first six months of 2020

•

Cash flows provided by operating activities was $417 million. This included changes in the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable), primarily related to strong collections on accounts receivable.

•

We did not sell any accounts receivable in the second quarter.

•

Capital expenditures were $124 million.

•

We paid $19 million in dividends to our shareholders.

Oil and Gas Market Downturn and COVID-19 Pandemic

Since the oil and gas market downturn began in late 2014, the Company has maintained a continuous process of actively managing its strategy, structure and resources to the changing market conditions and new realities. The Company has closed or realigned hundreds of facilities, reduced headcount, sharply lowered costs and reviewed all product lines for acceptable returns in the evolved market. Additionally, the Company has proactively reduced the balances and extended the maturity profile of its debt. In the fall of 2019, the Company retired $1 billion of notes due 2022 for cash, issued $500 million of notes due 2029 and extended the maturity of its undrawn credit facility to 2024. While aggressively matching size and spend to the market, and protecting its balance sheet, the Company has continued investing in new products and technologies that enable its customers to improve their operational efficiencies.

When the COVID-19 global pandemic and OPEC+ actions further depressed oil prices and industry activity beginning in March of 2020, the Company’s prior prudent actions helped ensure adequate available resources. Management intends to continue managing the business to the market realities to ensure the Company’s access to capital remains sufficient. – See Item 1A Risk Factors.

Other

The effect of the change in exchange rates on cash flows was a decrease of $3 million and $0 for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facilities and from other sources of debt will be sufficient to fund operations, lease payments, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, dividends and financing obligations.

We intend to pursue additional acquisition candidates, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We continue to expect to fund future cash acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including the unborrowed portion of the revolving credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms acceptable to us.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information in this document contains, or has incorporated by reference, forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. All statements herein regarding expected merger synergies are forward-looking statements. You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to changes in oil and gas prices, customer demand for our products, difficulties encountered in integrating mergers and acquisitions, and worldwide economic activity. You should also consider carefully the statements under “Risk Factors,” as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, current or prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any such factors or forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Additional information concerning each of these matters follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We have extensive operations in foreign countries. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although such fluctuations have a muted effect on net income since the functional currency for the majority of them is the local currency. These operations also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. We recorded a foreign exchange loss in our income statement of approximately $3 million in the first six months of 2020, compared to approximately $12 million in the same period of the prior year. The gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and adjustments to our hedged positions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may create losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of the countries using the local currency as their functional currency.

Some of our revenues in foreign countries are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our earnings to the extent that costs associated with those U.S. dollar revenues are denominated in the local currency. Similarly, some of our revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, but have associated U.S. dollar costs, which also give rise to foreign currency exchange rate exposure. In order to mitigate that risk, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to better match the currency of our revenues and associated costs. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company had other financial market risk sensitive instruments denominated in foreign currencies for transactional exposures totaling $357 million and translation exposures totaling $122 million as of June 30, 2020 excluding trade receivables and payables, which approximate fair value. These market-risk sensitive instruments consisted of cash balances and overdraft facilities. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10 percent movement of all applicable foreign currency exchange rates on the transactional exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect net income by $28 million and the translational exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect the future fair value by $12 million.

The counterparties to forward contracts are major financial institutions. The credit ratings and concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored on a continuing basis. In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of a foreign currency contract, our exposure is limited to the foreign currency rate differential.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2020, long term borrowings consisted of $399 million in 2.60% Senior Notes, $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, and $493 million in 3.60% Senior Notes. At June 30, 2020, there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds. Occasionally a portion of borrowings under our credit facility could be denominated in currencies which could expose us to market risk with exchange rate movements. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from either LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR, or at the U.S. prime rate. Under our credit facility, we may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR for 30 days to six months.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at a reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, the Company and its operations continue to be subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factor below updates our risk factors previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have had, and are expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business, and depending on the duration of the pandemic and its effect on the oil and gas industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

As a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks created by this unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented governmental actions ordering citizens in the United States and countries around the world to “shelter in place,” and issuing “stay at home orders,” which curtail travel and commerce. In the United States alone, over 26 million have filed for unemployment benefits during the sharp decline in economic activity resulting from governmental orders.

Oil demand has significantly deteriorated as a result of the virus outbreak and corresponding preventative measures taken around the world to mitigate the spread of the virus. At the same time, aggressive increases in production of oil by Saudi Arabia and Russia created a significant surplus in the supply of oil. Physical markets became distressed as spot prices were negatively impacted by a lack of available storage capacity. WTI oil spot prices decreased from a high of $63 per barrel in early January 2020 to a low of $14 per barrel in late March 2020 and briefly negative in April, before partially recovering to near $40 in June. While OPEC+ agreed in April to cut production (with subsequent plans announced to reduce the cuts over time), commodity prices remain low.

The forced shutdown of economic activity, has directly affected our business and has exacerbated the potential negative impact from many of the risks described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those relating to our customers’ capital spending and sharply reduced oil and natural gas prices. Demand for our products and services is declining as our customers continue to revise their capital budgets downwards and swiftly adjust their operations in response to lower commodity prices.

The nature, scale, and scope of the above-described events combined with the uncertain duration and extent of governmental actions prevent us from identifying all potential risks to our business. We believe that the well-known impacts described above and other potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

Disruption to our supply chain for materials essential to our business, including restrictions on importing and exporting products;

•

Customers may attempt to cancel of delay projects or may attempt to invoke force majeure clauses in certain contracts resulting in a decreased on delayed demand for our products and services;

•

Customers may also seek to delay payments, may default on payment obligations and/or seek bankruptcy protection that could delay or prevent collections of certain accounts receivable;

•

A credit rating downgrade of our corporate debt and potentially higher borrowing costs in the future;

•

A need to preserve liquidity;

•

Reduction of our global workforce to adjust to market conditions, including severance payments, retention issues, and an inability to hire employees when market conditions improve;

•

Liabilities resulting from operational delays due to decreased productivity resulting from stay-at-home orders affecting its work force or facility closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

Liabilities resulting from an inability to perform services due to limited manpower availability or an inability to travel to perform the services;

•

Other contractual or other legal claims from our customers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

Costs associated with rationalization of our portfolio of real estate facilities, including possible exit of leases and facility closures to align with expected activity and workforce capacity;

•

Additional asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill, along with other accounting charges as demand for our services and products decreases; and,

•

Infections and quarantining of our employees and the personnel of our customers, suppliers and other third parties.
