Robert Workman, President and CEO of NOW Inc., added, "We are encouraged about delivering solid top line, bottom line and free cash flow results in 2018, in a market that has seen, for the most part, an uneven recovery. During the fourth quarter, we were able to sustain gross margin percent gains, improve operating efficiencies, generate $69 million in free cash flow and reduce net debt to $16 million.
For 2019, many in the industry are forecasting a year softer than last, especially in Canada. However, we expect the investments we made in completions- and LNG-levered acquisitions during the downturn, will help us offset these declines with 2019 revenue levels near our 2018 results to down slightly in the low single-digit range. We enter the year with a clean balance sheet, positioned to allocate capital towards further differentiating us from our competitors, should the opportunities present themselves in these uncertain market conditions.”
Prior to the earnings conference call a presentation titled "NOW Inc., Fourth Quarter 2018 Review & Key Takeaways” will be available on the Company’s Investor Relations website.

| (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 non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding other costs, (ii) net income (loss) excluding other costs and (iii) diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding other costs. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain other costs 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 in the schedules herein. |
| (2) Other costs includes severance expenses and accelerated debt issuance costs, which are included in operating profit (loss) and other expense, respectively. |
| (3) EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue. |
| (4) Other costs, net of tax, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, included a benefit of $5 million and $14 million, after tax, respectively, from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets; as well as, less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, after tax, in severance expenses and accelerated debt issuance costs, which are included in operating profit (loss) and other expense, respectively. The Company has excluded the impact of a $9 million tax charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and a $4 million tax charge related to the write-off of a previously recognized deferred tax asset on its valuation allowance in computing net income (loss) excluding other costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. |
| (5) Totals may not foot due to rounding. |
