Company Guidance -

Q1 2025

During the Q1 2025 earnings call, NOV Inc. reported several key metrics and provided guidance for the upcoming quarters. The company recorded revenues of $2.1 billion and a net income of $73 million, translating to $0.19 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $252 million, representing 12% of sales, an increase of 80 basis points year-over-year. The Energy Equipment segment improved its margins by 430 basis points compared to Q1 2024, driven by strong demand for deepwater production equipment and cost reductions. However, the Energy Products and Services segment faced margin pressures due to a decline in drilling-related capital equipment sales, despite outperforming a 5% reduction in global drilling activity. Looking ahead, NOV expects modest sequential growth in revenues and EBITDA for Q2 2025 but anticipates potential challenges in the latter half of the year due to macroeconomic headwinds, including an emerging trade war and OPEC's decision to increase oil supply. The company remains focused on operational efficiencies and cost management to navigate these uncertainties.

Improved EBITDA and Cash Flow

NOV reported an EBITDA of $252 million for Q1 2025, marking a 5% increase. EBITDA margins expanded by 80 basis points to 12%, with 14 consecutive quarters of year-over-year margin improvement. Additionally, NOV generated $135 million in cash from operations and $51 million in free cash flow.

Strong Performance in Energy Equipment Segment

The Energy Equipment segment increased margins by 430 basis points to 14.4% of sales, driven by high-margin backlog and operational efficiencies. Bookings for the quarter increased by 12% year-over-year, with a backlog of $4.41 billion, up 12% from Q1 2024.

Offshore Production Outlook

The outlook for offshore production remains robust, with 2025 potentially having more awards for FPSOs than previous years. NOV's subsea flexible pipe business and Process Systems continue to show strong performance, with significant revenue growth and improved margins.

Strategic Positioning and Product Innovation

NOV introduced new products that improve efficiency, safety, and environmental impact, gaining significant market share. The company is well-positioned to supply technologies needed for deepwater and international shales, anticipating future industry trends.
