Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

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 accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of National Oilwell Varco, 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 2019 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 months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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 components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows (in millions):

				Derivative			Defined

The components of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020										2019
	Currency		Derivative			Defined					Currency		Derivative		Defined

	$	—	$	4		$	—	$	4		$	—	$	1	$	—	$	1

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). For the three months ended March 31, 2020, a majority of these local currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar, resulting in other comprehensive loss of $180 million compared to other comprehensive income of $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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 they hedge are realized. The movement in other comprehensive income (loss) from period to period will be the result of the combination of: 1) changes in fair value of open derivatives ($-56 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020); 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 ($4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020).

Performance Obligations

Net revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3,558 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $937 million in revenue for the remaining performance obligations in 2020, and $2,621 million in 2021 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 net contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows (in millions):

	Contract Assets			Contract Liabilities
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	643		$	427
Provision		(4	)		-
Billings		(84	)		282
Revenue recognized		99			(233	)
Currency translation adjustments and other		(15	)		(6	)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	639		$	470

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):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Current portion of lease liabilities:
Operating	$	83	$	84
Financing		32		30
Total	$	115	$	114

Long-term portion of lease liability:
Operating	$	394	$	424
Financing		252	$	250
Total	$	646	$	674

8.Debt

Debt consists of (in millions):

	March 31,		December 31,
	2020		2019
$1.1 billion in Senior Notes, interest at 3.95% payable semiannually, principal due on December 1, 2042	$	1,089	$	1,088
$0.5 billion in Senior Notes, interest at 3.60% payable semiannually, principal due on December 1, 2029		493		493
$0.4 billion in Senior Notes, interest at 2.60% payable semiannually, principal due on December 1, 2022		399		399
Other debt		21		9
Total	$	2,002	$	1,989

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 March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 29.2%.

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 March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance.

The Company has a commercial paper program under which borrowings are classified as long-term since the program is supported by the $2.0 billion, five-year credit facility. At March 31, 2020, there were no commercial paper borrowings, and there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of funds available under this credit facility.

The Company had $524 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,445 million and $1,947 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 or similar instruments. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $1,981 million and $1,980 million, respectively.

9.	Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 7.1% and 11.8%, respectively. The Company established valuation allowances on deferred tax assets for losses and tax credits generated in 2020 and 2019. The change in the effective tax rate from 2019 to 2020 was impacted by a change in jurisdictional mix of income between the two periods and 2020 was negatively impacted by the impairment of nondeductible goodwill partially offset by an income tax benefit of $123 million 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. The Company anticipates filing a refund claim to carryback its 2019 United States net operating loss to its 2014 tax year which will result in a cash refund of $123 million.

10.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan, known as the National Oilwell Varco, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), was approved by shareholders on May 11, 2018 and amended and restated on May 28, 2019. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, phantom shares, stock appreciation rights, stock payments and substitute awards. The number of shares authorized under the 2018 Plan is 20.2 million. The 2018 Plan is also subject to a fungible ratio concept, such that the issuance of stock options and stock appreciation rights reduces the number of available shares under the 2018 Plan on a 1-for-1 basis, and the issuance of other awards reduces the number of available shares under the 2018 Plan on a 2.5-for-1 basis. At March 31, 2020, 1,348,877 shares remain available for future grants under the 2018 Plan. The Company also has outstanding awards under its other stock-based compensation plan known as the National Oilwell Varco, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), however the Company is no longer granting awards under the Plan.

On February 25, 2020, under the 2018 Plan, the Company granted 1,650,262 stock options with a fair value of $5.83 per option and an exercise price of $20.23 per share; 2,535,174 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units with a fair value of $20.23 per share; and performance share awards to senior management employees with potential payouts varying from zero to 1,063,274 shares. The stock options vest over a three-year period from the grant date. The restricted stock and restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. The 2020 performance share awards can be earned based on performance against two established goals over a three-year performance period. The performance share awards are divided into two independent parts that are subject to two separate performance metrics: 85% with a TSR (total shareholder return) goal and 15% with an internal NVA (“National Oilwell Varco Value Added”) (return on capital metric) goal. Performance against the TSR goal is determined by comparing the performance of the Company’s TSR with the TSR performance of the members of the OSX index for the three-year performance period. The TSR portion of the performance share awards is subject to vesting cap equal to 100% of Target Level if the Company’s absolute TSR is negative, regardless of relative TSR results. Conversely, if the Company’s absolute TSR is greater than 15% annualized over the three-year performance period the payout amount shall not be less than 50% of Target Level, regardless of relative TSR results. The NVA goal is based on the Company’s improvement in NVA from the beginning of the performance period until the end of the performance period. NVA shall be calculated as an amount equal to the Company’s (a) gross cash earnings less (b) average gross operating assets times an amount equal to a required return on assets.

Total stock-based compensation for all stock-based compensation arrangements under the Plan and the 2018 Plan was $27 million and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for all stock-based compensation arrangements under the Plan was nil and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

11.	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with sourcing goods and services in a currency different than the

currency of sale. Forward currency contracts are executed to manage the foreign exchange risk on forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit (cash flow hedge). In addition, the Company executes forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency risk on recognized nonfunctional currency monetary accounts (non-designated hedge).

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2020 (in millions):

	Currency Denomination
	March 31,		December 31,
Foreign Currency	2020		2019
South Korean Won	KRW	17,600	KRW	17,600
Norwegian Krone	NOK	5,232	NOK	5,377

British Pound Sterling	GBP	38	GBP	20
Danish Krone	DKK	25	DKK	21
Singapore Dollar	SGD	18	SGD	42
Canadian Dollar	CAD	1	CAD	3

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

To protect against the volatility of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from forecasted revenues and expenses, the Company has 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 $41 million of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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 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 ($43) million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company has the following fair values of its derivative instruments and their balance sheet classifications (in millions):

	Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
		Fair Value					Fair Value
	Balance Sheet	March 31,		December 31,		Balance Sheet	March 31,		December 31,
	Location	2020		2019		Location	2020		2019

12.	Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Company Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding (in millions, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020			2019
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Company	$	(2,047	)	$	(77	)
Denominator:
Basic—weighted average common shares outstanding		383			380
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and other
unvested stock awards		—			—
Diluted outstanding shares		383			380

Net loss attributable to Company per share:
Basic	$	(5.34	)	$	(0.20	)
Diluted	$	(5.34	)	$	(0.20	)

Cash dividends per share	$	0.05		$	0.05

ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” requires companies with unvested participating securities 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 these participating securities was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and therefore not excluded from net income attributable to Company per share calculation.

The Company had stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive totaling 27 million shares and 21 million shares for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

13.	Cash Dividends

On February 27, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The cash dividend was paid on March 27, 2020, to each stockholder of record on March 13, 2020. Cash dividends were $19 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. 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.	Asset Impairments

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company tests intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate they could be impaired. Potential impairment indicators include, but are not limited to: a sustained increase in worldwide inventories of oil or gas, sustained reductions in: worldwide oil and gas prices or drilling activity; the profitability or cash flow of oil and gas companies or drilling contractors; available financing or other capital for oil and gas companies or drilling contractors; the market capitalization of the Company or its customers; or, capital investments by drilling companies and oil and gas companies.

The unprecedented global oil and gas downturn that began in 2014 has repeatedly exhibited signs of recovery that subsequently faded. There have been three points when, in management’s judgement, based on the information available at the time, market factors, events and circumstances clearly indicated a fundamental shift to a more prolonged downturn and shallower recovery than had been expected. As a result, management reduced its forecasts in the third quarter of 2016, the second quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Forecasts were based on management’s judgement of the information management had at the time the forecast was made, which often included, but was not limited to: internally developed market intelligence and sales forecasts; formal and informal communications from customers and other industry participants about their economic outlook and spending plans; 3rd party industry analysts and information compilers and the reports and forecasts they publish; and, industry-specific and general global economic statistics, outlook and forecasts from Governmental and other sources. These external sources assisted management in developing our views regarding forecasted rig counts and capital spending by our customers, among other matters.

During the first quarter of 2020 the widely publicized and discussed coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread across the world, driving sharp demand destruction for crude oil as whole economies ordered curtailed activity. Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries (OPEC+), including Russia, met in early March to discuss additional production cuts to help stabilize prices, however, the group could not come to an agreement and production was instead increased into the already oversupplied market, decimating oil prices. The result was the Company’s stock price reaching a new low during the quarter and its market capitalization falling below its carrying value. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a key benchmark for the US oil market, fell more than $40 per barrel from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 (losing two thirds of its value in 90 days) to its lowest level in nearly two decades. As travel restrictions and government directives to shut down businesses increase, demand is expected to continue declining in the second quarter of 2020. Management reduced its forecast accordingly.

In the Company’s view, falling rig count levels in the first quarter and a depressed outlook provided evidence to the equity markets that oil and gas producers were committed to reduced levels of capital investment in drilling, which will further reduce levels of demand for capital equipment and oilfield services that the Company sells to its customers. Also, due to the prolonged poor market conditions, capital availability to many of the Company’s customers became even more limited and is unlikely to improve near-term. In management’s judgement the facts and circumstances including those described above constituted a triggering event in the first quarter which indicated the Company’s goodwill and other long-lived assets may be impaired. The Company performed a detailed analysis under ASC 350, incorporating this refined outlook, which determined that the fair values were less than the respective carrying values for all of the Company’s business units (“Reporting Units”).

The Company primarily uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of its Reporting Units when conducting the impairment test, but also considers the comparable companies and representative transaction methods to validate the test result and management’s forecast and other expectations, where possible. The valuation techniques used in the test were consistent with those used during previous testing. Fair value of the Reporting Unit is determined using significant unobservable inputs, or level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs are based on internal management estimates, forecasts and judgements, using discounted cash flow. The inputs used in the test were updated to reflect management’s judgement, current market conditions and forecasts.

The discounted cash flow was based on management’s forecast of operating performance for each Reporting Unit. The two main assumptions used, which bear the risk of change and could impact the test result, include the forecast cash flow from operations from each of the Company’s Reporting Units and their respective weighted average cost of capital. The starting point for each of the Reporting Unit’s cash flow from operations was the detailed forecast, modified to incorporate our revised outlook, as appropriate. The Reporting Unit carrying values were adjusted based on the long-lived asset impairment assessment noted below. Cash flows beyond the plan or forecast were estimated using a terminal value calculation which incorporated historical and forecasted financial cyclical trends for each Reporting Unit and considered long-term earnings growth rates. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through the weighted average cost of capital used to determine a discount rate. During times of volatility, significant judgement must be applied to determine whether credit changes are a short-term or long-term trend.

For the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $1,295 million in impairment charges to goodwill and $83 million in charges to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Following the impairment charges, several Reporting Units did not have a fair value substantially in excess of their book value. Further deterioration of market conditions, in management’s judgement, beyond those incorporated into the extended forecast by management, will likely result in additional impairment charges. The remaining goodwill balance for these Reporting Units at March 31, 2020 is as follows: Rig Equipment ($661 million), Marine Construction ($51 million), ReedHycalog ($124 million), M/D Totco ($32 million), Wellsite ($174 million), XL Systems ($64 million), Fiberglass Systems ($346 million), and Process and Flow Technologies ($63 million).

The Company has approximately $1.52 billion of goodwill, by segment as follows (in millions):

	Wellbore Technologies			Completion & Production Solutions			Rig Technologies			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	843		$	1,054		$	910		$	2,807
Impairment		(517	)		(580	)		(198	)		(1,295	)
Additions		4			—			—			4
Currency translation adjustments and other		—			(1	)		—			(1	)
Balance at March 31, 2020⁽¹⁾	$	330		$	473		$	712		$	1,515

(1)	Accumulated goodwill impairment was $7,261 million as of March 31, 2020.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Excluding Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets)

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment, right of use, and finite-lived intangible assets, comprise a significant amount of the Company’s total assets. The Company makes judgements and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and estimated useful lives.

The Company identifies its Reporting Units as individual asset groups. The carrying values of these asset groups are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows. We estimate the fair value of these intangible and fixed assets using an income approach that requires the Company to make long-term forecasts of its future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review. These forecasts require assumptions about demand for the Company’s products and services, future market conditions and technological developments. The forecasts are dependent upon assumptions including those regarding oil and gas prices, the general outlook for the global oil and gas industry, available financing for the Company’s customers, political stability in major oil and gas producing areas, and the potential obsolescence of various types of equipment we sell, among other factors. Financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our income forecast. Changes to these assumptions, including, but not limited to: sustained declines in worldwide rig counts below current analysts’ forecasts; collapse of spot and futures prices for oil and gas; significant deterioration of external financing for our customers; higher risk premiums or higher cost of equity; or any other significant adverse economic news could require a provision for impairment.

During the first quarter of 2020, the results of the Company's test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and the other negative market indicators described above, were a triggering event that indicated that its long-lived tangible assets and finite-lived intangible assets were impaired.

Impairment testing performed in the first quarter resulted in the determination that certain long-lived assets associated with most of the Company’s asset groups were not recoverable. The estimated fair value of these asset groups was below the carrying value and as a result, during the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $209 million to customer relationships, patents, trademarks, tradenames, and other finite-lived intangible assets, $262 million to property, plant and equipment, and $42 million for right-of-use assets. Additionally, the Company recorded a $224 million impairment on its equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.

The Company has approximately $534 million of identified intangible assets, by segment as follows (in millions):

	Wellbore Technologies			Completion & Production Solutions			Rig Technologies			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	326		$	275		$	251		$	852
Impairment		(78	)		(214	)		—			(292	)
Additions		—			—			—			—
Amortization		(4	)		(6	)		(7	)		(17	)
Currency translation adjustments and other		(2	)		(5	)		(2	)		(9	)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	242		$	50		$	242		$	534

At March 31, 2020, the Company’s Wellbore Technology segment recorded $71 million, Completion and Production Solutions recorded $221 million and Rig Technology reported $12 million of the total $304 million impairment related to property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets.

15.	Commitments and Contingencies

Our business is governed by laws and regulations 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, including those related to the oilfield service industry. In the United States these governmental authorities include: the U.S. Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), 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 such 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 arising from ordinary day-to-day business activities in which parties, including government authorities, assert claims against the Company for a broad spectrum of potential claims and theories of liability, including: individual employment law claims, collective actions or class actions under employment laws, intellectual property claims, (such as alleged patent infringement, and/or misappropriation of trade secrets), premises liability claims, environmental, product liability claims, warranty claims, personal injury claims arising from allegedly defective products, negligence or other theories of liability, 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. For some 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 contingent claims could have a material financial or reputational impact on the Company. As of December 31, 2019, 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.

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 final 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. Of course, because of uncertainty and risk inherent to litigation and arbitration, the 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 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 have 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 and other regulatory compliance in which the laws and regulations of different jurisdictions conflict or trade 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 regulatory risk in the countries in which we do business or to which we transport goods. For example, the effects of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, known as Brexit, may have a negative impact on our results from operations. Uncertainty concerning the legal and regulatory risks of Brexit, include: (i) supply chain risks resulting from lack of trade agreements, potential changes in customs administrations or tariffs; (ii) revenue risk, loss of customers or increased costs; (iii) delays in delivery of materials to the Company or delay in delivery by the Company; and (iv) the need for renegotiation of agreements; and other business disruptions. In addition, trade regulations and laws may adversely impact our ability to do business in certain countries, e.g.: Iran, Syria, Russia and Venezuela. Such trade regulations can be complex and present compliance challenges which could result in future liabilities.

As a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks. “Shelter-in-Place” orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a severe slowdown in economic activity, and a sharp reduction in oil activity and a corresponding decline in demand for oil. This has and will lead to a sharp reduction in drilling activity in North America and reduction of activity internationally. The persistence of this supply/demand imbalance has caused oil prices to drop precipitously, to the lowest prices in decades.

As a result of these market conditions, demand for our products and services will 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. Further, we have seen, and expect to see, an increasing number of energy companies filing bankruptcy. Our collection of receivables could be materially delayed and/or impaired.

The Company also may be exposed to liabilities resulting from 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.

16.	New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update improves financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2020, with no material impact. The Company estimates its reserves 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 Trade Accounts Receivables, Contract Assets, Unbilled Accounts Receivables, and Long-Term Receivables. 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 March 31, 2020, allowance for bad debts and contract assets totaled $138 million.

Recently Issued 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. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12 on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Rig Technologies supports land and offshore drillers. Demand for the segment’s products depends on drilling contractors’ and oil and gas companies’ capital spending plans, specifically capital expenditures on rig construction and refurbishment; and secondarily on the overall level of oilfield drilling activity, which drives demand for spare parts, service, and repair for the segment’s large installed base of equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, 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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated a net loss of $2,047 million, compared to a net loss of $385 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and a net loss of $77 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $1,950 million, compared to an operating loss of $349 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and an operating loss of $48 million in the first quarter of 2019. First quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA was $178 million, compared to $288 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $140 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Segment Performance

Wellbore Technologies

Wellbore Technologies generated revenues of $691 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 10 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 14 percent from the first quarter of 2019. The sequential decline in revenue was primarily due to seasonality in international markets and lower drilling activity levels in North America. Operating loss was $663 million and included $715 million of other items. Adjusted EBITDA was $103 million.

Completion & Production Solutions

Completion & Production Solutions generated revenues of $675 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 16 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 and an increase of 16 percent from the first quarter of 2019. Deteriorating conditions in the North American completions market, seasonality and logistical disruptions from COVID-19 related restrictions contributed to the sequential decrease in results. Operating loss was $1,013 million and included $1,054 million in other items. Adjusted EBITDA was $71 million.

New orders during the quarter totaled $335 million for the quarter, representing a book-to-bill of 81 percent when compared to the $416 million of orders shipped from backlog. Backlog for capital equipment orders for Completion & Production Solutions at March 31, 2020 was $1.19 billion.

Rig Technologies

Rig Technologies generated revenues of $557 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 27 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 and a decrease of eight percent from the first quarter of 2019. Operating loss was $202 million and included $238 million of other items. Adjusted EBITDA was $56 million. Revenues were impacted by lower sales of capital equipment and a decrease in aftermarket revenue, due in part to COVID-19-related disruptions.

New orders booked during the quarter totaled $146 million, representing a book-to-bill of 70 percent when compared to the $208 million of orders shipped from backlog. At March 31, 2020, backlog for capital equipment orders for Rig Technologies was $2.93 billion.

Oil & Gas Equipment and Services Market and Outlook

Following approximately two and a half years of steady improvements in oil prices and global drilling activity levels, commodity prices declined sharply during the fourth quarter of 2018 due to stronger than expected growth in U.S. oil production and concerns regarding the global economy. As a result of reduced 2019 budgets, and despite a modest recovery in commodity prices, drilling activity levels in the U.S. declined throughout last year resulting in the first double digit percentage decrease in the average annual rig count since 2016. While the North American market deteriorated, the new-found capital austerity and fiscal discipline exhibited by U.S. operators along with declining production from underinvestment in overseas markets and rapidly growing demand for LNG inspired greater levels of confidence from international oil and gas companies. The industry entered 2020 anticipating higher international and offshore activity levels would mostly offset the ongoing effects of capital austerity in the North American land marketplace, where a meaningful recovery was not expected before 2021.

During the first quarter of 2020, the widely publicized and discussed coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread across the world, driving sharp demand destruction for crude oil as whole economies ordered curtailed activity. In response to declining demand for crude oil, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries (OPEC+), including Russia, met in early March to discuss additional production cuts to help stabilize prices. The group failed to reach an agreement, and production was instead increased into the already oversupplied market, decimating oil prices and rapidly filling worldwide oil storage facilities. OPEC+ eventually reached an agreement in April 2020 to reduce production, which had a muted effect on oil prices due to the belief that the cuts were significantly less than the demand destructions caused by COVID-19. As a result, companies across the industry responded with severe capital spending budget cuts, cost cuts, personnel layoffs, facility closures and bankruptcy filings.

Management expects industry activity levels and spending by customers to decrease throughout the remainder of 2020 as oil supplies continue to increase and demand destruction from COVID-19 remains. NOV remains committed to streamlining operations and improving organizational efficiencies while continuing to focus on investing in innovative products and services, including environmentally friendly technologies, that are responsive to the longer-term needs of our customers. We believe this strategy will further advance the Company’s competitive position, regardless of the market environment.

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. Key industry indicators for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, and the fourth quarter of 2019 include the following:

Wellbore Technologies

Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Wellbore Technologies was $691 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $807 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $116 million or 14 percent.

Operating loss from Wellbore Technologies was $663 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to an operating profit of $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $682 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

Completion & Production Solutions

Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Completion & Production Solutions was $675 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $581 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $94 million or 16 percent.

Operating loss from Completion & Production Solutions was $1,013 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $978 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 $1.19 billion at March 31, 2020, an increase of fourteen percent from backlog of $1.04 billion at March 31, 2019. Numerous factors may affect the timing of revenue out of backlog. Considering these factors, the Company reasonably expects approximately $957 million of revenue out of backlog for the remainder of 2020 and approximately $229 million of revenue out of backlog in 2021 and thereafter. At March 31, 2020, approximately 64 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 85 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Rig Technologies

Three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from Rig Technologies was $557 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $603 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $46 million or eight percent.

Operating loss from Rig Technologies was $202 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to an operating profit of $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $233 million primarily due to the impairment of certain assets.

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 $2.93 billion at March 31, 2020, a decrease of seven percent, from backlog of $3.14 billion at March 31, 2019. Numerous factors may affect the timing of revenue out of backlog. Considering these factors, the Company reasonably expects approximately $530 million of revenue out of backlog for the remainder of 2020 and approximately $2.4 billion of revenue out of backlog in 2021 and thereafter. At March 31, 2020, approximately 28 percent of the capital equipment backlog was for offshore products and approximately 93 percent of the capital equipment backlog was destined for international markets.

Eliminations and corporate costs

Eliminations and corporate costs were $72 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This change is primarily due to the change in intersegment eliminations. 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 $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to expenses of $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in expense was primarily due to the fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

At March 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,115 million and total debt of $2,002 million. At December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $1,171 million and total debt was $1,989 million. As of March 31, 2020, approximately $744 million of the $1,115 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 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 or utilize its commercial paper program.

At March 31, 2020, there were no commercial paper borrowings, and there were no outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of funds available under this credit facility.

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 March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance.

From time to time, we participate in factoring arrangements to sell accounts receivable to third-party financial institutions. Our factoring transactions are recognized as sales, and the proceeds are included as operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 we sold accounts receivable of $45 million at a cost of approximately $0.2 million.

Our outstanding debt at March 31, 2020 was $2,002 million and consisted primarily of $399 million in 2.60% Senior Notes, $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, $493 million in 3.60% Senior Notes, and lease liabilities of $646 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2020.

We had $524 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2020, 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):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020			2019
Net cash provided by (used by) operating activities	$	39		$	(38	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(53	)		(107	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(43	)		(20	)

Significant sources and uses of cash during the first three months of 2020

•

Cash flows provided by operating activities was $39 million. This included changes in the primary components of our working capital (receivables, inventories and accounts payable), primarily related to strong collections on accounts receivable.

•

Capital expenditures were $68 million.

•

We paid $19 million in dividends to shareholders.

Oil and Gas Market Downturn and COVID-19 Pandemic

Since the oil and gas market downturn began in late 2014 the Company has maintained a continuous process of actively managing its strategy, structure and resources to the changing market conditions and new realities. The Company has closed or realigned hundreds of facilities, reduced headcount, sharply lowered costs, cut capital expenditure budgets and reviewed all product lines for acceptable returns in the evolved market. Additionally, the Company has proactively reduced the balances and extended the maturity profile of its debt. In the fall of 2019, the Company retired $1 billion of notes due 2022 for cash, issued $500 million of notes due 2029 and extended the maturity of its undrawn credit facility to 2024. While aggressively matching size and spend to the market, and protecting its balance sheet, the Company has continued investing in new products and technologies that enable its customers to improve their operational efficiencies.

When the COVID-19 global pandemic and OPEC+ actions further depressed oil prices and industry activity beginning in March of 2020, the Company’s prior prudent actions helped ensure adequate available liquidity resources. Management intends to continue managing the business to the market realities to ensure the Company’s access to capital remains sufficient. – See Item 1A Risk Factors.

Other

The effect of the change in exchange rates on cash flows was an increase of $1 million and $8 million for the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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.

We undertake no obligation to update any such factors or forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

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 generally do not affect income since their functional currency is typically 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 no foreign exchange loss in our income statement for the first three months of 2020, compared to approximately $9 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 denominated in foreign currencies for transactional exposures totaling $234 million and translation exposures totaling $79 million as of March 31, 2020 excluding trade receivables and payables, which approximate fair value. These market risk sensitive instruments consisted of cash balances and overdraft facilities. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10 percent movement of all applicable foreign currency exchange rates on the transactional exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect net income by $18 million and the translational exposures financial market risk sensitive instruments could affect the future fair value by $8 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 March 31, 2020, long term borrowings consisted of $399 million in 2.60% Senior Notes, $1,089 million in 3.95% Senior Notes, $493 million in 3.60% Senior Notes. At March 31, 2020, there were no commercial paper borrowings and 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, the Company and its operations continue to be subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factor below updates our risk factors previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have had, and are expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business, and depending on the duration of the pandemic and its effect on the oil and gas industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

As a result of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may be exposed to additional liabilities and risks created by this unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented governmental actions ordering citizens in the United States and countries around the world to “shelter in place,” and issuing “stay at home orders,” which curtail travel and commerce. In the United States alone, over 26 million have filed for unemployment benefits during the sharp decline in economic activity resulting from governmental orders.

Oil demand has significantly deteriorated as a result of the virus outbreak and corresponding preventative measures taken around the world to mitigate the spread of the virus. At the same time, aggressive increases in production of oil by Saudi Arabia and Russia created a significant surplus in the supply of oil. WTI oil spot prices decreased from a high of $63 per barrel in early January 2020 to a low of $14 per barrel in late March 2020. Physical markets have been distressed as spot prices have been negatively impacted by the lack of available storage capacity. While OPEC+ agreed in April to cut production, downward pressure on commodity prices has continued and could continue for the foreseeable future.

The forced shutdown of economic activity, has directly affected our business and has exacerbated the potential negative impact from many of the risks described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those relating to our customers’ capital spending and sharply reduced oil and natural gas prices. Demand for our products and services is declining as our customers continue to revise their capital budgets downwards and swiftly adjust their operations in response to lower commodity prices.

The nature, scale, and scope of the above-described events combined with the uncertain duration and extent of governmental actions prevent us from identifying all potential risks to our business. We believe that the well-known impacts described above and other potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:

•
