2025 Acquisitions
MRC Global Acquisition. On November 6, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of MRC Global in an all-stock transaction fora purchase price consideration of $1,763 million, net of cash acquired. MRC Global shareholders received 0.9489 shares of DNOW common stock for each share of MRC Global common stock. Existing indebtedness of MRC Global was repaid at acquisition.
The combination of DNOW and MRC Global creates a premier energy and industrial solutions provider with a balanced portfolio of businesses and a diversified customer base fortifying long-term profitability and cash flow generation.
The Company completed its preliminary valuations as of the acquisition date of the acquired net assets and recognized goodwill of $383 million, $289 million in the U.S. segment and $94 million in the International segment, and intangible assets of $510 million in the U.S. segment, which are subject to change. The fair values of trade names in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and customer relationships acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 inputs. The amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and subject to revision as more information becomes available. The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain intangible assets pending the completion of a final third-party valuation report, the final determination of net working capital, and the tax basis of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to these provisional amounts will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date (in millions):
| Equity consideration for the conversion of MRC Global common stock outstanding | $1,185 |

For the year ended December 31, 2025, actual results included in the consolidated statements of operations consist of approximately $388 million of revenue and approximately $145 million of net loss from the acquisition.

Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)
The unaudited pro forma information has been presented as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2024. This information is based on historical results of operations, adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and factually supportable. The pro forma information does not reflect any synergy savings that might have been achieved from combining the operations and is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of fiscal year 2024.
The unaudited pro forma revenue on consolidated statements of operations with the acquisition for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would be approximately $5,274 million and $5,556 million, respectively. The unaudited pro forma net income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would be approximately $10 million and $17 million, respectively.
These amounts have been calculated by applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting for the incremental depreciation, amortization, interest and cost of products sold related to the fair value step-up, as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2024, including the consequential tax effects. Additionally, acquisition-related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, have been reclassified to the year ended December 31, 2024, along with the corresponding tax effects.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed an additional acquisition in Singapore for a purchase price consideration of approxima tely $8 million, netof cash acquired. The acquisition expands the Company's electrical supply capabilities in the Asia Pacific region, serving traditional and renewable energy, infrastructure and other commercial and industrial end-markets.

The Company completed its preliminary valuations as of the acquisition date of the acquired net assets and recognized goodwill of $3 million and intangible assets of $2 million in the International segment, which are subject to change. The primary areas of the preliminary valuation that are not yet finalized relate to the adjustments to working capital. If additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimate of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; any such revisions are not expected to be significant. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to expected synergies and is not deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has not presented supplemental pro forma information because the acquired operations did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated operating results.
