Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

  1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of NOV Inc. (“NOV” or the “Company”) present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform with current period presentation.

In our 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 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.

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 effect of changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are accumulated in other comprehensive loss, net of tax, until the underlying transactions are realized. The movement in other comprehensive loss from period to period will be the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives of $5 million and $21 million during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025; and, 2) the outflow of other comprehensive loss related to cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives that have settled in the current period, which were $(5) million and $(1) million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(1)

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 and corporate costs include intercompany transactions conducted between the two reporting segments that are eliminated in consolidation, as well as corporate costs not allocated to the segments. Intercompany transactions within each reporting segment are eliminated within each reporting segment. Also included in the eliminations and corporate costs column are capital expenditures and total assets related to corporate. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and fixed assets.

(2)

Operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, included charges of $62 million and $85 million, respectively, reported in “Cost of Revenue,” primarily relatedto a discount charge to reflect delayed timing of the expected cash collection of royalty receivables currently in litigation as discussed in Note 6, the write-down of certain long-lived assets and inventory, and severance charges associated with facility consolidations and other restructuring activities during the third quarter of 2025, and charges related toseverance and other restructuring costs during the first nine months of 2025. Operating profit included charges of $3 million and $12 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, reported in “Selling, General, and Administrative.” These charges were primarily related to the release of cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) balances to earnings upon the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary during the third quarter of 2025, streamlining our business processes during the second quarter of 2025, and the deconsolidation of the Company’s Russian subsidiaries in the first quarter of 2025. Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, included charges of $5 million reported in “Cost of Revenue,” primarily attributed to severance pay. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating profit included a credit of $116 million reported in “Cost of Revenue,” primarily attributed to a pre-tax gain on the sale of a business during the second quarter of 2024.

Performance Obligations

Net revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Remaining performance obligations represent 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 September 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $5,037 million. Although numerous factors can affect timing of revenue recognized on performance obligations, such as customer change orders and supplier accelerations or delays, the Company expects to recognize approximately $544 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in the remainder of 2025, $1,796 million in 2026, $1,109 million in 2027, and $1,588 million 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):

Balance at September 30, 2025$576$564

Royalty Revenue

The Company recognizes royalty revenue due under various licenses for the Company’s intellectual property, including for technology related to drill bits. The Company recognized revenue for drill bit licenses of approximately $19 million and $57 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $17 million and $50 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As previously disclosed, the Company is currently pursuing litigation against certain non-paying licensees, which will impact our ability to collect the receivables timely. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash discount charge of approximately $24 million to reflect the delayed timing of expected cash collection. As of September 30, 2025, royalty receivables of $129 million, net of related reserves of $78 million and the remaining timing related discount of $51 million, are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reserves and discounts do not impact the amount the Company is entitled to recover on its claims from the licensees in litigation. While we continue to believe it is probable the Company will collect all or substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled pursuant to the terms of the licensing agreements, the Company will also continue to evaluate the collectibility of the receivables. Also see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the ongoing litigation.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses 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 receivables and contract assets. 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 September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets totaled $68 million.

The changes in the carrying amount of the allowance for credit losses are as follows (in millions):

  1. 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 intends to exercise a lease option at inception 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 new agreements 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.

Long-term debt$1,692$1,703

The Company has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion through September 12, 2029. The Company has the right to increase the aggregate commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), or Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (NIBOR), plus 1.25% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant establishing a maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 23.5% and hadno outstanding borrowings or letters of credits issued under the facility, resulting in $1.5 billion of available funds.

A consolidated joint venture of the Company borrowed $120 million against a $150 million bank line of credit, payable by June 2032, for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia. Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon SOFR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of September 30, 2025, the joint venture was in compliance and will not have future borrowings on the line of credit. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $89 million in borrowings related to this line of credit. The carrying value of debt under the Company’s consolidated joint venture approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates. The Company has $11 million in payments related to this line of credit due in the next twelve months. The Company can repay the entire outstanding facility balance without penalty at its sole discretion.

Other debt at September 30, 2025 included $48 million of amounts owed to current and former minority interest partners of NOV consolidated joint ventures, of which $23 million is due in the next twelve months.

The Company had $889 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2025, primarily in Norway and the United States, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,344 million and $1,285 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the GAAP fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,588 million and $1,587 million, respectively.

  1. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 39.7% and 24.9%, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 25.0% for the same period in 2024. The U.S. statutory tax rate was 21% for all periods presented. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions, pre-tax charges discrete to the quarter in lower tax rate jurisdictions, and losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, partially offset by interest income related to payments made in connection with tax disputes of $11 million. The effective tax rate for thenine months ended September 30, 2025 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions and losses in certain jurisdictions with no benefit, an increase to reserves for uncertain tax positions of $23 million, unfavorable adjustments related to the carrying value of deferred tax assets of $15 million, and unfavorable adjustments related to changes in certain foreign currency exchange rates of $6 million, partially offset by the release of previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions of $59 million as well as interest income related to payments made in connection with tax disputes of $11 million. The effective tax rate for the three andnine months ended September 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by a mix of earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions, losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, and adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets, partially offset by the reduction of valuation allowances related to U.S. and state deferred tax assets.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan, known as the NOV Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “NOV Plan”), was approved by shareholders on May 11, 2018 and was amended and restated on May 24, 2022 and May 20, 2025. The NOV Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, phantom shares, stock appreciation rights, stock payments and substitute awards. The number of shares authorized under the NOV Plan is 70.9 million. At September 30, 2025, approximately 17.1 million shares remained available for future grants under the NOV Plan. The Company also has outstanding awards under its former stock-based compensation plan known as the National Oilwell Varco, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Former Plan”); however, the Company is no longer granting new awards under the Former Plan.

Total expense for all stock-based compensation arrangements was $17 million and $50 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $17 million and $53 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The total income tax expense (benefit) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for stock-based compensation arrangements was $(1) million and $5 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $(2) million and $1 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

  1. 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 values 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.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company maintains 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 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 accumulated other comprehensive income of $8 million 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 Expense, net was $(13) million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and$19 million and $29 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Diluted$0.11$0.33$0.59$1.20
Cash dividends per share$0.075$0.075$0.435$0.20

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 attributable to the Company allocated to these participating securities was immaterial for each of thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company had stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive totaling 19 million and 16 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 17 million and 16 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

  1. Cash Dividends

Cash dividends were $28 million and $163 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $29 million and $79 million for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024. 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.

  1. Share Repurchase Program

On April 25, 2024, the Company established a share repurchase program for up to $1 billion of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock over a period of 36 months. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, including Rule 10b-18. The timing and total amount of any stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices and other considerations.

The Company intends to fund the repurchases using its available U.S. cash balances, which may involve the repatriation of foreign earnings not indefinitely reinvested. However, depending on U.S. cash balances, the Company may choose to borrow against its revolving credit facility or issue new debt to finance the repurchases. As shares are repurchased, they are constructively retired and returned to an unissued state. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock under the program for an aggregate amount of $80 million. During thenine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 17.1 million shares of common stock under the program for an aggregate amount of $230 million.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits, investigations and legal actions involving a variety of matters. As of September 30, 2025, in the ordinary course of business, the Company recorded reserves in an amount believed to be sufficient, given the estimated range of potential outcomes, for contingent liabilities believed to be probable. 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. The litigation process and the outcome of regulatory oversight is inherently uncertain, and our best judgment concerning the probable outcome of litigation or regulatory enforcement matters may prove to be incorrect. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of these matters. The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, should not materially affect our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

The Company is currently pursuing litigation against several companies involving royalties due under licenses for technology related to drill bits. This technology resulted in a portfolio of patents related to leaching technology, a revolutionary technology owned by the Company that improves the performance of drill bits and other products utilizing certain synthetic diamond parts. The Company previously sued several drill bit manufacturers for patent infringement and those lawsuits were resolved by a series of licensing agreements with various drill bit manufacturers. To settle and end litigation or to avoid litigation, the licensees were provided access to the portfolio of leaching patents owned by the Company in exchange for a royalty payment, as defined in each license agreement. The companies agreed to pay the royalties for the right to use the portfolio of patents, whether they used some, all or none of the specific patented claims in any particular patent. The license agreements provide that they terminate on the date of the last to expire of the patents in the licensed portfolio. Having obtained the benefit of these licenses for more than a decade, all of the drill bit manufacturer licensees unilaterally stopped making royalty payments even though all of the patents in the portfolio have not expired. These companies have asserted, among other reasons, that they are entitled to stop making these payments because they claim to not manufacture products covered by the unexpired patents. Some of these companies stopped making payments after the expiration of what are allegedly the patents in the portfolio that they elected to use. Others paid for some period of time after that date but have since stopped making payments. The Company has sued asserting that failure to pay the royalties is a breach of the license agreements at issue. The Company is in litigation with most of the licensees seeking a judicial determination that it is entitled to be paid royalties pursuant to the terms of the licenses. The licensees have responded with a number of alleged defenses and requests for declaratory judgment all focused on avoiding the payments called for under the licenses. The parties’ legal filings to date can be found in the following cases: Grant Prideco, Inc., et al. v. Schlumberger Technology Corp., et al., No. 4:23-cv-00730; Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. v. Grant Prideco, Inc., et al., No. 4:23-cv-01789; and Grant Prideco, Inc., et al. v. Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations Inc., et al., No. 4:25-cv-03459, all in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. We have also recently initiated litigation against Taurex Drill Bits. The legal filings to date can be found in the case Grant Prideco, Inc., et al. v. Taurex Drill Bits, L.L.C., No. 25-BC11B-0065, in the Eleventh Business Court Division for Harris County, Texas. On September 29, 2025, and October 7, 2025, in the lawsuits against Halliburton, Ulterra and Varel, the Court issued two rulings, the effect of which is that NOV cannot collect royalties under the License Agreements, after the date each Licensee stopped making royalty payments. NOV believes the Court’s ruling is incorrect, and once the Court has entered an appealable order in each case, NOV intends to appeal the Court’s rulings. While the Company continues to strongly believe that the royalties for which it has sued are due and owing pursuant to the terms of the licensing agreements, there is inherent risk with the related litigation and the Company makes no assurances as to the outcome of such litigation. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the financial impact of royalties.
