NOW Inc. Announces First Quarter 2016 Results
HOUSTON, TX, May 4, 2016 - NOW Inc. (NYSE: DNOW) reported for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016 a net loss of $63 million, or $0.59 per fully diluted share, compared to net loss of $10 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share in the same period of 2015. Excluding other costs, net loss was $38 million or $0.35 per fully diluted share. Other costs in the first quarter of 2016 included $4 million in acquisition-related and severance charges and an after-tax charge of $23 million related to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Also included in the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 results, but not characterized as other costs, was a pre-tax charge of $3 million approximating $0.02 per fully diluted share, for high steel content inventory cost adjustments, related to falling steel prices.
The Company’s revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $548 million, a decrease of 15 percent from the fourth quarter of 2015.
Cash flow from operating activities was $89 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to cash used in operating activities of $13 million in the same period of 2015.
As announced last week, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the businesses of Power Service, Inc., Industrial Tool & Repair, Inc. & Power Transportation LLC (collectively, “Power Service”). The completion of this acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval. Power Service is a distributor of OEM parts including pumps, generator sets, air compressors and blowers, and a fabricator of custom Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) units, Vapor Recovery Units, ASME Code Vessels and Water Production skids serving the Upstream, Midstream & Downstream oil and gas markets, as well as the Mining, Power Generation and General Industrial industries.
Robert Workman, President and CEO of NOW Inc., remarked “Market conditions entering 2016 remain difficult, as reflected in the continuing decline in North American rig count. In the current environment, we continue to focus on the fundamentals of our business: maximizing cash generation by improving collections, monetizing inventory, curbing excess costs and integrating recent acquisitions, while working to enhance our services and solutions for our existing and prospective customers. We are pleased that our strong balance sheet enables us to continue to capitalize on attractive opportunities like the Power Service acquisition we announced last week. While the timing of a market recovery remains uncertain, we will continue to focus on the long-term future of our business and position ourselves for success and growth when the market recovers.”
United States
First quarter revenues for the United States were $357 million, down 18 percent from the fourth quarter of 2015, or down 21 percent when ignoring the favorable impact of acquisitions, amid 26 percent fewer rigs being active. Revenues decreased 41 percent from the first quarter of 2015, or 49 percent when excluding acquisitions, outperforming the U.S. rig count decline, where rig counts tumbled 60 percent in the same period.
Canada
Canada revenues were $63 million, down 20 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 and down 46 percent from the first quarter of 2015. Sequential revenue declines were driven by significant purchasing freezes by key customers and lower rig counts. Year over year, Canada outperformed the 47 percent rig count decline and overcame a seven percent foreign exchange disadvantage.
International
International operations generated first quarter revenues of $128 million, down three percent from the fourth quarter of 2015 and down 12 percent from the first quarter of 2015, versus international rig count declines of eight percent and 19 percent, respectively. The year over year revenues contributed from acquisitions, approximately $30 million, were outweighed by the continued deterioration in market activity and a renewed customer focus on utilizing owned inventory.

| (1) | We believe that net loss is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to EBITDA excluding other costs. EBITDA excluding other costs measures the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. EBITDA excluding other costs is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of EBITDA excluding other costs may vary from others in the industry. EBITDA excluding other costs has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. |
| (2) | Other costs, pre-tax, in the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $4 million in transaction costs associated with acquisitions including the cost of inventory that was stepped up to fair value during purchase accounting related to acquisitions and severance expenses which are included in operating loss. Other costs, net of tax, was approximately $25 million, and includes a $23 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2016. |
| (3) | EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue. |
| (4) | We believe that diluted loss per share is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that is most directly comparable to diluted loss per share excluding other costs. Diluted loss per share excluding other costs measures the Company’s operating performance without regard to certain expenses. Diluted loss per share excluding other costs is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the Company’s computation of diluted loss per share excluding other costs may vary from others in the industry. Diluted loss per share excluding other costs has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. |
