Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
- Revenue was $547 million for the fourth quarter of 2022

- Diluted earnings per share attributable to NOW Inc. stockholders was $0.28 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to NOW Inc. stockholders excluding other costs was $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2022
- Non-GAAP EBITDA excluding other costs for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $47 million or 8.6% of revenue
- Cash and cash equivalents was $212 million and long-term debt was zero at December 31, 2022 with total liquidity of approximately $564 million
- Completed two acquisitions in December 2022 for $59 million in cash, one with a patented process technology solution that expands our suite of greenhouse gas emission reduction products, and one that enhances our pump strategy
- Repurchased $3 million of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2022
David Cherechinsky, President and CEO of NOW Inc., added, “I am thrilled about our strong fourth quarter results, which capped off a stellar, record year for DNOW on many fronts. For the year, we achieved revenue growth of $504 million or 31% compared to 2021, without consuming cash from operations, as we turned working capital seven times, delivered impressive gross margins of 23.7% and generated $175 million in EBITDA excluding other costs, or 8.2% of revenue.
Our investments in four supercenters equip us to grow in those regional markets and calibrate product availability to resolve customer supply chain challenges. Additionally, the three acquisitions we completed during the year further enhance our competitive position and importance to suppliers, while deepening our appeal to customers. In December, we added two of these acquisitions, one that fortifies our pump position in the Permian and the other that positions DNOW as a vital energy evolution partner in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Entering 2023, we are in a great place as a company, remain debt-free with ample liquidity and are well positioned for continued growth and success. The highly talented women and men of DNOW show dedication, enthusiasm, resilience and a competitive spirit toward positioning our company to win the market.”
Prior to the earnings conference call a presentation titled “NOW Inc. Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Key Takeaways” will be available on the Company’s Investor Relations website.
