Forward Guidance

The company anticipates continued demand for its equipment and technologies, expecting improved profitability and sequentially improving free cash flow, particularly in the fourth quarter and continuing into 2024. Inventory balances are expected to remain elevated as supply chains normalize, before reversing out in the fourth quarter.

Positive Outlook

  • Substantial backlog of oil and gas development projects across offshore and international land markets will continue to push oilfield service asset utilization higher.
  • Anticipate continued demand for NOV’s critical equipment and technologies.
  • Global supply chain is continuing to improve, which is positively impacting sales growth and profitability.
  • Expect improved profitability as the pace of customer backlog conversion accelerates through the second half of the year.
  • Expect sequentially improving free cash flow, particularly in the fourth quarter and continuing into 2024.

Challenges Ahead

  • Economic uncertainty.
  • Continued declines in North American rig activity.
  • Compressing delivery times from most, but not all, of our vendors led to higher inventories in the second quarter.
  • Higher inventories in the second quarter contributed to NOV’s working capital growth and cash draw.
  • Expect inventory balances to remain elevated as supply chains normalize.
