NOV INC.

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 GAAP in the United States 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 in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States 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 income (loss), net of tax, until the underlying transactions are realized. The movement in other comprehensive income (loss) from period to period will be the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives of ($1) million and ($3) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; and, 2) the outflow of other comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives that have settled in the current period of ($3) million and ($3) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Total operating profit (loss)	$	12		$	(100	)	$	(76	)	$	(2,050	)

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 include intercompany transactions conducted between the three reporting segments that are eliminated in consolidation. Intrasegment transactions are eliminated within each segment.

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021, includes pre-tax charges of $42 million (severance, facility closure, and inventory write downs) net of related credits of $18 million. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, includes pre-tax charges for impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible and long-lived tangible assets ($1,891 million); inventory charges ($132 million); and, severance, facility closures and other items ($102 million).

Rig Technologies’ second quarter 2021 revenue included $74 million related to the cancelation of offshore rig projects.

Performance Obligations

Net revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to change orders.

Remaining performance obligations represents 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 June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,867 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $594 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in 2021 and $3,273 million in 2022 and 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):

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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 June 30, 2021, allowance for credit losses totaled $98 million.

7. 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 initially intends that a lease option will be exercised 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 agreements at inception 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.

Components of leases are as follows (in millions):

The Company has a $2.0 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on October 30, 2024. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 27.2% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

Additionally, the Company has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia.  Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance. Other debt at June 30, 2021 included $25 million of funding provided by a minority interest partner of an NOV consolidated joint venture.

On April 8, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by one additional year to October 30, 2025. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion through October 30, 2024, and a borrowing capacity of $1.655 billion from October 31, 2024, to October 30, 2025.

On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of $182 million of its 2.60% unsecured Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 using available cash balances. Upon redemption, the Company paid $191 million, which included a redemption premium of $6.8 million as well as accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million in the second quarter, including a make whole premium of $6.8 million and non-cash charges of $0.3 million to write-off unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.  Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029.

The Company had $470 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2021, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,610 million and $1,833 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,583 million and $1,764 million, respectively.

9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was (9.5%) and 2.8%, respectively, compared to 35.1% and 8.7% for the same periods in 2020. The Company has established valuation allowances on deferred tax assets for losses and tax credits generated in 2021 and 2020.   The effective tax rate for 2021 was negatively impacted by current year losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, partially offset by favorable adjustments related to utilization of losses and tax credits for prior year tax returns.  The effective tax rate for 2020 was negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit as well as the impairment of nondeductible goodwill, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years. In addition, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $90.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the Company’s decision to amend its 2016 United States income tax return and resulting net operating loss carryback to 2014.  The income tax receivable of $90.3 million is recorded in Other Assets on the balance sheet as the Company believes the refund will not be received within the next twelve months.

10. Stock-Based Compensation  

On May 19, 2021, the Company granted 78,552 restricted stock awards with a fair value of $16.50 per share. The awards were granted to non-employee members of the board of directors and vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Total expense for all stock-based compensation arrangements was $20 million and $40 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively and $28 million and $55 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

There was no income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for stock-based compensation arrangements under the Plan for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

11. 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 value 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.

Forward currency contracts consist of (in millions):

	Currency Denomination

Brazilian Real	BRL	—	BRL	768

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company instituted 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 income (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 $18 million of the accumulated other comprehensive income 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 income (expense), net was ($1) million and ($5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $5 million and ($38) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Cash dividends per share	$	—		$	-		$	—		$	0.05

14

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 (loss) attributable to Company allocated to participating securities was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company had stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive totaling 23 million and 21 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 28 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

13. Cash Dividends

Cash dividends were $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0 and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. 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.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Our business is governed by laws and regulations, including those directed to the oilfield service industry, promulgated by U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory agencies, as well as international governmental authorities in the many countries in which we conduct business. In the United States these governmental authorities include: the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls, state and international environmental agencies and many others. We are unaware of any material unreserved liabilities in connection with our compliance with such laws. New laws, regulations and enforcement policies may result in additional, presently unquantifiable, or unknown, costs or liabilities.

The Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The Company maintains insurance that covers many of the claims arising from risks associated with the business activities of the Company, including claims for premises liability, product liability and other such claims. The Company carries substantial insurance to cover such risks above a self-insured retention. The Company believes, and the Company’s experience has been, that such insurance has been enough to cover any such material risks. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company is also a party to claims, threatened and actual litigation, private arbitration, internal investigations of potential regulatory and compliance matters which arise from legacy businesses that the Company has acquired over many years and from the Company’s current ordinary day-to-day business activities. These regulatory matters and disputes may involve private parties and/or government authorities, which assert claims against the Company for a broad spectrum of potential claims including: employment law claims, collective actions or class action claims under employment laws, intellectual property claims, (such as alleged patent infringement, and/or misappropriation of trade secrets), premises liability claims, environmental claims, product liability claims, warranty claims, personal injury claims arising from exposure to or use of allegedly defective products, alleged regulatory violations, alleged violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and other commercial claims seeking recovery for alleged actual or exemplary damages or fines and penalties. Such claims involve various theories of liability which include: negligence, strict liability, product liability, and other theories of liability.  For some of these contingent claims, the Company’s insurance coverage is inapplicable or an exclusion to coverage may apply.  In such instances, settlement or other resolution of such claims, individually or collectively, could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. As of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded reserves in an amount believed to be sufficient, given the range of potential outcomes, for contingent liabilities representing all contingencies believed to be probable. These reserves include all costs expected for reclamation of a closed barite mine and product liability claims, as well as other circumstances involving material claims.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has assessed the potential for additional losses above the amounts accrued as well as potential losses for matters that are not probable but are reasonably possible. The litigation process as well as the outcome of regulatory oversight is inherently uncertain, and our best judgement concerning the probable outcome of litigation or regulatory enforcement matters may prove to be incorrect in some instances.  The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially affect our financial position, cash flow or results of operations.  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. Because of uncertainty and risk inherent to litigation and arbitration, actual liabilities incurred may exceed our estimated liabilities and reserves, which could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company.

15

In many instances, the Company’s products and services embody or incorporate trade secrets or patented inventions.  From time to time, we are engaged in disputes concerning protection of trade secrets and confidential information, patents and other intellectual property rights.  Such disputes frequently involve complex, factual, technical and/or legal issues which result in high costs to adjudicate our rights and difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome.  Because of the importance of the Company’s intellectual property to the Company’s performance, an adverse result in such disputes could result in the loss of revenue from royalties or a decline in sales of products protected by patents, which could materially and adversely impact our financial performance.

Further, in some instances, direct or indirect consumers of our products and services, entities providing financing for purchases of our products and services or members of the supply chain for our products and services  become involved in governmental investigations, internal investigations, political or other enforcement matters. In such circumstances, such investigations may adversely impact the ability of consumers of our products, entities providing financial support to such consumers or entities in the supply chain to timely perform their business plans or to timely perform under agreements with us.  We may, from time to time, become involved in these investigations, at substantial cost to the Company. We also are subject to trade regulations, supply chain regulations, and other regulatory compliance in which the laws and regulations of different jurisdictions conflict or these regulations may conflict with contractual terms. In such circumstances, our compliance with U.S. laws and regulations may subject us to risk of fines, penalties or contractual liability in other jurisdictions. Our efforts to actively manage such risks may not always be successful which could lead to negative impacts on revenue or earnings.  

The Company is exposed to customs and trade regulation risk in the countries in which we do business or to which we transport goods. Such trade regulations can be complex and conflicting, as different countries use trade regulation to promote conflicting policy objectives. Compliance with these laws and regulations present challenges which could result in future liabilities (for example, when laws conflict between countries). The Company may face increased tariffs and trade costs, loss of revenue, loss of customers, increased costs, the need for renegotiation of agreements, and other business disruptions. In addition, trade regulations, export controls, and other laws may adversely impact our ability to do business in certain countries, e.g.: Iran, Syria, Russia, China and Venezuela.

Uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact many jurisdictions and disrupt normal economic activities. The demand for energy may be constrained with adverse consequences for our customers and for the Company. As a result, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks.

Due to market conditions and ongoing concerns about the energy transition, demand for our products and services may decline. Our customers may attempt to cancel or delay projects, cancel contracts or may invoke force majeure clauses. Our customers may also seek to delay or may default on their payments to us.  

The Company also continues to see operational delays due to supply chain disruption and closure or limitations imposed on our facilities and work force, from “shelter in place” orders around the world.  The Company’s ability to perform services could also be impaired and the Company could be exposed to liabilities resulting from interruption in its ability to perform due to limited manpower and travel restrictions.  These potential operational and service delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could result in contractual or other legal claims from our customers. At this time, it is not possible to quantify these risks, but the combination of these factors could have a material impact on our financial results.

15. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 for the first quarter of 2021 with no material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 and 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.  Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified our most critical accounting policies. In preparing the financial statements, we make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported. We periodically evaluate our estimates and judgments that are most critical in nature which are related to revenue recognition (See Note 6); allowance for doubtful accounts; inventory reserves; impairment of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets); goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; purchase price allocation of acquisitions; warranties; and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on our future expectations that we believe are reasonable. The combination of these factors forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results are likely to differ from our current estimates and those differences may be material.

Oil & Gas Equipment and Services Market and Outlook

During 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread across the world, driving sharp demand destruction for crude oil as countries took measures that curtailed economic activity to slow the spread of the outbreak. Companies across the industry responded with severe capital spending budget cuts, curtailed production, cost reductions, personnel layoffs, facility closures and bankruptcy filings.  Beginning late in 2020 and continuing in 2021, commodity prices stabilized and began to recover resulting in improving industry activity levels in North America.  

During the first half of 2021, accelerating distribution of COVID-19 vaccines resulted in the gradual reopening of certain economies around the world.  Pent-up consumer and industrial demand combined with government economic stimulus programs to hasten and amplify the recovery resulted in improving economic activity and higher demand for oil and gas, which management believes is setting the stage for a global recovery in drilling activity.

Despite near-term disruptions from ongoing COVID outbreaks, pandemic related supply chain disruptions, and inflationary forces, management is optimistic that improving market fundamentals and the actions NOV has taken to position its business for the future will drive growth and improve profitability for the company. NOV remains committed to improving organizational efficiencies while focusing on the development and commercialization of innovative products and services, including environmentally friendly technologies, that are responsive to the longer-term needs of NOV’s customers. We believe this strategy will further advance the Company’s competitive position, regardless of the market.

Operating Environment Overview

The Company’s results are dependent on, among other things, the level of worldwide oil and gas drilling, well remediation activity, the prices of crude oil and natural gas, capital spending by other oilfield service companies and drilling contractors, and worldwide oil and gas inventory levels.

Wellbore Technologies

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Revenue from Wellbore Technologies was $463 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $442 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $21 million or five percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from Wellbore Technologies was $876 million compared to $1,133 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020, a decrease of $257 million or 23 percent.

Operating profit from Wellbore Technologies was $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss of $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $73 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating loss from Wellbore Technologies was $8 million compared to $730 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020, an increase of $722 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

Completion & Production Solutions

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Revenue from Completion & Production Solutions was $497 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $611 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $114 million dollars or 19 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from Completion & Production Solutions was $936 million compared to $1,286 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020, a decrease of $350 million or 27 percent.

Operating loss from Completion & Production Solutions was $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an operating profit of $42 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $48 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating loss from Completion & Production Solutions was $23 million compared to $971 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020, an increase of $948 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

The Completion & Productions Solutions segment monitors its capital equipment backlog to plan its business. New orders are added to backlog only when the Company receives a firm written order for major completion and production components or a contract related to a construction project. The capital equipment backlog was $1.0 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $3 million from backlog of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020. Although numerous factors can affect the timing of revenue out of backlog (including, but not limited to, customer change orders and supplier accelerations or delays), the Company reasonably expects approximately 55 percent of backlog to become revenue during the rest of 2021 and the remainder thereafter. At June 30, 2021, approximately 65 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 66 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Rig Technologies

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Revenue from Rig Technologies was $487 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $476 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $11 million or two percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from Rig Technologies was $918 million compared to $1,033 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020, a decrease of $115 million or 11 percent.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, operating profit from Rig Technologies was $41 million compared to an operating loss of $227 million for the six months ending June 30, 2020 an increase of $268 million, primarily due to asset impairments.

The Rig Technologies segment monitors its capital equipment backlog to plan its business. New orders are added to backlog only when the Company receives a firm written order for major drilling rig components or a signed contract related to a construction project. The capital equipment backlog was $2.66 billion at June 30, 2021, a decrease of $132 million, or five percent, from backlog of $2.79 billion at June 30, 2020. Although numerous factors can affect the timing of revenue out of backlog (including, but not limited to, customer change orders and supplier accelerations or delays), the Company reasonably expects approximately 14 percent of backlog to become revenue during the rest of 2021 and the remainder thereafter. At June 30, 2021, approximately 26 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 91 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Eliminations and corporate costs

Eliminations and corporate costs were $37 million and $86 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $50 million and $122 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. 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 include intercompany transactions conducted between the three reporting segments that are eliminated in consolidation. Intrasegment transactions are eliminated within each segment.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net were expenses of $16 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to expenses of $8 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The change in expense was primarily due to the fluctuations in foreign currencies.  

Provision for income taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was (9.5%) and 2.8%, respectively, compared to 35.1% and 8.7% for the same periods in 2020.   The Company has established valuation allowances on deferred tax assets for losses and tax credits generated in 2021 and 2020.   The effective tax rate for 2021 was negatively impacted by current year losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, partially offset by favorable adjustments related to utilization of losses and tax credits for prior year tax returns.  The effective tax rate for 2020 was negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit as well as the impairment of nondeductible goodwill, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years. In addition, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $90.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the Company’s decision to amend its 2016 United States income tax return and resulting net operating loss carryback to 2014.  The income tax receivable of $90.3 million is recorded in Other Assets on the balance sheet as the Company believes the refund will not be received within the next twelve months.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA (defined as Operating Profit excluding Depreciation, Amortization and, when applicable, Other Items) in its periodic earnings press releases and other public disclosures to provide investors additional information about the results of ongoing operations. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate and manage the business. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, such as Net Income. Other items in 2021 include restructure charges of $42 million (severance, facility closure, and inventory write downs) net of related credits of $18 million. Other items in 2020 include impairment charges for Goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, long-lived tangible assets, and restructure costs for facility closures, inventory write downs, and severance payments, net of related credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

At June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,572 million and total debt of $1,686 million. At December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $1,692 million and total debt was $1,834 million. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $906 million of the $1,572 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries and the earnings associated with this cash could be subject to foreign withholding taxes and incremental U.S. taxation if transferred among countries or repatriated to the U.S. If opportunities to invest in the U.S. are greater than available cash balances that are not subject to income tax, rather than repatriating cash, the Company may choose to borrow against its revolving credit facility.

The Company has a $2.0 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on October 30, 2024. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 27.2% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

The Company also has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia.  Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance.

The Company’s outstanding debt at June 30, 2021 was $1,686 million and consisted primarily of $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, $494 million in 3.60% Senior Notes, and other debt of $103 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2021. Lease liabilities totaled $700 million at June 30, 2021.

On April 8, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by one additional year to October 30, 2025. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion through October 30, 2024, and a borrowing capacity of $1.655 billion from October 31, 2024, to October 30, 2025.

On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of $182 million of its 2.60% unsecured Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 using available cash balances. Upon redemption, the Company paid $191 million, which included a redemption premium of $6.8 million as well as accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million, which included the make whole premium of $6.8 million and non-cash charges of $0.3 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.  Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029.

The Company had $470 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2021, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by continuing operating activities, continuing investing activities and continuing financing activities for the periods presented (in millions):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2021			2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	150		$	417
Net cash used in investing activities		(89	)		(111	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(182	)		(27	)

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first six months of 2021

• Cash flows provided by operating activities was $150 million. This included changes in the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable).

• Capital expenditures were $97 million.

• Repaid $182 million of Senior Notes.

Other

The effect of the change in exchange rates on cash flows was an increase of $1 million and a decrease of $3 million for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

24

We believe that cash on hand, cash generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facilities and from other sources of debt will be sufficient to fund operations, lease payments, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, dividends and financing obligations.

We may pursue additional acquisition candidates, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We continue to expect to fund future cash acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including the unborrowed portion of the revolving credit facility or new debt issuances, but may also issue additional equity either directly or in connection with acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be available at terms acceptable to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Additional information concerning each of these matters follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We have extensive operations in foreign countries. The net assets and liabilities of these operations are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although such fluctuations have a muted effect on net income since the functional currency for the majority of them is the local currency. These operations also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. We recorded a foreign exchange loss in our income statement of approximately $19 million in the first six months of 2021, compared to approximately $3 million in the same period of the prior year. The gains and losses are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and adjustments to our hedged positions as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency exchange rate fluctuations may create losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of the countries using the local currency as their functional currency.

Some of our revenues in foreign countries are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our earnings to the extent that costs associated with those U.S. dollar revenues are denominated in the local currency. Similarly, some of our revenues are denominated in foreign currencies, but have associated U.S. dollar costs, which also give rise to foreign currency exchange rate exposure. In order to mitigate that risk, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to better match the currency of our revenues and associated costs. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company had other financial market risk sensitive instruments (cash balances, overdraft facilities, accounts receivable and accounts payable) denominated in foreign currencies with transactional exposures totaling $459 million and translation exposures totaling $344 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10 percent movement of all applicable foreign currency exchange rates on the transactional exposures could affect net income by $36 million and the translational exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect the future fair value by $34 million.

The counterparties to forward contracts are major financial institutions. The credit ratings and concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored on a continuing basis. In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of a foreign currency contract, our exposure is limited to the foreign currency rate differential.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2021, borrowings consisted of $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes and $494 million in 3.60% Senior Notes. At June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of funds available under this credit facility. Occasionally a portion of borrowings under our credit facility could be denominated in multiple currencies which could expose us to market risk with exchange rate movements. These instruments carry interest at a pre-agreed upon percentage point spread from either LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR, or at the U.S. prime rate. Under our credit facility, we may, at our option, fix the interest rate for certain borrowings based on a spread over LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR for 30 days to six months. Our objective is to maintain a portion of our debt in variable rate borrowings for the flexibility obtained regarding early repayment without penalties and lower overall cost as compared with fixed-rate borrowings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at a reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of NOV Inc. (“NOV” or the “Company”) present information in accordance with GAAP in the United States 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 in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States 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 income (loss), net of tax, until the underlying transactions are realized. The movement in other comprehensive income (loss) from period to period will be the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives of ($1) million and ($3) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; and, 2) the outflow of other comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives that have settled in the current period of ($3) million and ($3) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Rig Technologies’ second quarter 2021 revenue included $74 million related to the cancelation of offshore rig projects.

Performance Obligations

Net revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to change orders.

Remaining performance obligations represents 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 June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,867 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $594 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in 2021 and $3,273 million in 2022 and 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):

	Contract Assets			Contract Liabilities

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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 June 30, 2021, allowance for credit losses totaled $98 million.

Leases

7. 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 initially intends that a lease option will be exercised 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 agreements at inception 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.

The Company has a $2.0 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on October 30, 2024. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 27.2% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

Additionally, the Company has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia.  Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance. Other debt at June 30, 2021 included $25 million of funding provided by a minority interest partner of an NOV consolidated joint venture.

On April 8, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by one additional year to October 30, 2025. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion through October 30, 2024, and a borrowing capacity of $1.655 billion from October 31, 2024, to October 30, 2025.

On April 9, 2021, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of $182 million of its 2.60% unsecured Senior Notes due December 1, 2022 using available cash balances. Upon redemption, the Company paid $191 million, which included a redemption premium of $6.8 million as well as accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million in the second quarter, including a make whole premium of $6.8 million and non-cash charges of $0.3 million to write-off unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.  Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029.

The Company had $470 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2021, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,610 million and $1,833 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,583 million and $1,764 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was (9.5%) and 2.8%, respectively, compared to 35.1% and 8.7% for the same periods in 2020. The Company has established valuation allowances on deferred tax assets for losses and tax credits generated in 2021 and 2020.   The effective tax rate for 2021 was negatively impacted by current year losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit, partially offset by favorable adjustments related to utilization of losses and tax credits for prior year tax returns.  The effective tax rate for 2020 was negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions with no tax benefit as well as the impairment of nondeductible goodwill, partially offset by an income tax benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that was enacted on March 27, 2020 allowing net operating losses originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years. In addition, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $90.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 to reflect the Company’s decision to amend its 2016 United States income tax return and resulting net operating loss carryback to 2014.  The income tax receivable of $90.3 million is recorded in Other Assets on the balance sheet as the Company believes the refund will not be received within the next twelve months.

Derivative Financial Instruments

11. 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 value 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.

Forward currency contracts consist of (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company instituted 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 income (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 $18 million of the accumulated other comprehensive income 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 income (expense), net was ($1) million and ($5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $5 million and ($38) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

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 (loss) attributable to Company allocated to participating securities was immaterial for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company had stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive totaling 23 million and 21 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 28 million shares for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Our business is governed by laws and regulations, including those directed to the oilfield service industry, promulgated by U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory agencies, as well as international governmental authorities in the many countries in which we conduct business. In the United States these governmental authorities include: the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls, state and international environmental agencies and many others. We are unaware of any material unreserved liabilities in connection with our compliance with such laws. New laws, regulations and enforcement policies may result in additional, presently unquantifiable, or unknown, costs or liabilities.

The Company is involved in various claims, regulatory agency audits and pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. The Company maintains insurance that covers many of the claims arising from risks associated with the business activities of the Company, including claims for premises liability, product liability and other such claims. The Company carries substantial insurance to cover such risks above a self-insured retention. The Company believes, and the Company’s experience has been, that such insurance has been enough to cover any such material risks. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company is also a party to claims, threatened and actual litigation, private arbitration, internal investigations of potential regulatory and compliance matters which arise from legacy businesses that the Company has acquired over many years and from the Company’s current ordinary day-to-day business activities. These regulatory matters and disputes may involve private parties and/or government authorities, which assert claims against the Company for a broad spectrum of potential claims including: employment law claims, collective actions or class action claims under employment laws, intellectual property claims, (such as alleged patent infringement, and/or misappropriation of trade secrets), premises liability claims, environmental claims, product liability claims, warranty claims, personal injury claims arising from exposure to or use of allegedly defective products, alleged regulatory violations, alleged violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and other commercial claims seeking recovery for alleged actual or exemplary damages or fines and penalties. Such claims involve various theories of liability which include: negligence, strict liability, product liability, and other theories of liability.  For some of these contingent claims, the Company’s insurance coverage is inapplicable or an exclusion to coverage may apply.  In such instances, settlement or other resolution of such claims, individually or collectively, could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. As of June 30, 2021, the Company recorded reserves in an amount believed to be sufficient, given the range of potential outcomes, for contingent liabilities representing all contingencies believed to be probable. These reserves include all costs expected for reclamation of a closed barite mine and product liability claims, as well as other circumstances involving material claims.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has assessed the potential for additional losses above the amounts accrued as well as potential losses for matters that are not probable but are reasonably possible. The litigation process as well as the outcome of regulatory oversight is inherently uncertain, and our best judgement concerning the probable outcome of litigation or regulatory enforcement matters may prove to be incorrect in some instances.  The total potential loss on these matters cannot be determined; however, in our opinion, any ultimate liability, to the extent not otherwise provided for, will not materially affect our financial position, cash flow or results of operations.  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. Because of uncertainty and risk inherent to litigation and arbitration, actual liabilities incurred may exceed our estimated liabilities and reserves, which could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company.

In many instances, the Company’s products and services embody or incorporate trade secrets or patented inventions.  From time to time, we are engaged in disputes concerning protection of trade secrets and confidential information, patents and other intellectual property rights.  Such disputes frequently involve complex, factual, technical and/or legal issues which result in high costs to adjudicate our rights and difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome.  Because of the importance of the Company’s intellectual property to the Company’s performance, an adverse result in such disputes could result in the loss of revenue from royalties or a decline in sales of products protected by patents, which could materially and adversely impact our financial performance.

Further, in some instances, direct or indirect consumers of our products and services, entities providing financing for purchases of our products and services or members of the supply chain for our products and services  become involved in governmental investigations, internal investigations, political or other enforcement matters. In such circumstances, such investigations may adversely impact the ability of consumers of our products, entities providing financial support to such consumers or entities in the supply chain to timely perform their business plans or to timely perform under agreements with us.  We may, from time to time, become involved in these investigations, at substantial cost to the Company. We also are subject to trade regulations, supply chain regulations, and other regulatory compliance in which the laws and regulations of different jurisdictions conflict or these regulations may conflict with contractual terms. In such circumstances, our compliance with U.S. laws and regulations may subject us to risk of fines, penalties or contractual liability in other jurisdictions. Our efforts to actively manage such risks may not always be successful which could lead to negative impacts on revenue or earnings.  

The Company is exposed to customs and trade regulation risk in the countries in which we do business or to which we transport goods. Such trade regulations can be complex and conflicting, as different countries use trade regulation to promote conflicting policy objectives. Compliance with these laws and regulations present challenges which could result in future liabilities (for example, when laws conflict between countries). The Company may face increased tariffs and trade costs, loss of revenue, loss of customers, increased costs, the need for renegotiation of agreements, and other business disruptions. In addition, trade regulations, export controls, and other laws may adversely impact our ability to do business in certain countries, e.g.: Iran, Syria, Russia, China and Venezuela.

Uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely impact many jurisdictions and disrupt normal economic activities. The demand for energy may be constrained with adverse consequences for our customers and for the Company. As a result, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks.

Due to market conditions and ongoing concerns about the energy transition, demand for our products and services may decline. Our customers may attempt to cancel or delay projects, cancel contracts or may invoke force majeure clauses. Our customers may also seek to delay or may default on their payments to us.  

The Company also continues to see operational delays due to supply chain disruption and closure or limitations imposed on our facilities and work force, from “shelter in place” orders around the world.  The Company’s ability to perform services could also be impaired and the Company could be exposed to liabilities resulting from interruption in its ability to perform due to limited manpower and travel restrictions.  These potential operational and service delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could result in contractual or other legal claims from our customers. At this time, it is not possible to quantify these risks, but the combination of these factors could have a material impact on our financial results.

New Accounting Pronouncements

15. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 for the first quarter of 2021 with no material impact on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 and 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.  Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
