Robert Workman, President and CEO of NOW Inc., commented, "We are pleased by the performance of our U.S. Process Solutions team as they exceeded pre-acquisition second quarter 2014 revenue levels, back when U.S. rig counts were nearly double the levels we're seeing today. This was achieved by leveraging our full suite of products and infrastructure throughout the major shale plays and by bundling opportunities through our U.S. Energy Centers and U.S. Supply Chain Services channels.

We completed two small acquisitions late in the quarter. One expanded our territory with a manufacturing supplier and another addresses choke points for our production equipment and positioned our process packaging capabilities closer to the Eagle Ford, Permian and downstream markets. This quarter we generated $66 million in free cash flow, cut our balance outstanding on our credit facility in half sequentially and returned to a net cash position. Finally, even though the market is softer now than we originally anticipated when we first gave guidance for 2019, our revenue outlook remains unchanged as we believe we can deliver 2019 year-over-year revenue levels near our 2018 results to down slightly in the low single-digit percentage range."

Prior to the earnings conference call a presentation titled "NOW Inc., Second Quarter 2019 Key Takeaways" will be available on the Company's Investor Relations website.

(1)

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose various non-GAAP financial measures in our quarterly earnings press releases and other public disclosures. The non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding other costs, (ii) net income excluding other costs and (iii) diluted earnings per share excluding other costs. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other costs and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the schedules herein.

(2)

Other costs primarily includes the transaction costs associated with acquisition activity in 2019.

(3)

EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue.

(4)

Other costs, net of tax, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, included a benefit of $5 million and $10 million, after tax, respectively, from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets; as well as, $1 million and $1 million, respectively, after tax, primarily related to transaction costs associated with acquisition activity, which are included in operating profit.

(5)

Totals may not foot due to rounding.
