HOUSTON, TX, October 30, 2014 — National Oilwell Varco, Inc.

Clay Williams, Chairman, President and CEO of National Oilwell Varco, stated, “Thanks to outstanding execution by our employees, the Company posted strong results for its third quarter of 2014. We set new records for operating profit, EBITDA and earnings per share during the period on solid revenue gains from continuing operations. Looking forward, we are closely monitoring the potential impact of lower oil prices on our markets; nevertheless, our strong backlog, our growing aftermarket business supporting NOV equipment, our diverse product and service offering, our terrific team of employees and our strong balance sheet, all give us confidence in the bright long-term prospects for the Company.

Note 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 primary non-GAAP financial measures we focus on are: (i) revenue excluding other items, (ii) operating profit excluding other items, (iii) operating profit percentage excluding other items, (iv) operating profit excluding other items before depreciation & amortization, (v) operating profit percentage excluding other items before depreciation & amortization (vi) EBITDA and (vii) Operating (non-GAAP) per fully diluted share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other items 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 here within.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s on-going economic performance. We have chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of operating results and as a means to emphasize the results of on-going operations.
