Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue was $432 million for the fourth quarter of 2021
  • Net income was $12 million and non-GAAP net income excluding other costs was $8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.11 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding other costs was $0.07 for the fourth quarter of 2021
  • Non-GAAP EBITDA excluding other costs for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $17 million
  • Cash and cash equivalents was $313 million and long-term debt was zero at December 31, 2021

David Cherechinsky, President and CEO of NOW Inc., added, “I am proud of the solid results we achieved in 2021, punctuated by an expansion of EBITDA excluding other costs of $92 million on revenue growth of $13 million during the year, driven by the highest full-year gross margins in our history and a reduction in warehousing, selling and administration expenses of $50 million. We accomplished this while modernizing our facilities and investing in the future, as we continue to evolve a more efficient, customer-centric model.

I would like to thank all of our highly-talented women and men for making DistributionNOW a premiere destination for our customers to seek our solutions, acquire our products and share our collective knowledge that will help us win in the market. Your hard work and dedication give me great confidence in our future.”

(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)

In an effort to better align with management’s evaluation of the Company’s performance and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies, beginning for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2021, EBITDA excluding other costs excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Prior periods presented have been adjusted to conform with the current period presentation. Stock-based compensation excludes net credits of $4 million for 2020 as such separation amounts were included in Other.

(3) 

Other includes certain income and expenses not included in stock-based compensation. For three months ended December 31, 2021, Other primarily included $3 million of impairment and other charges and $3 million in separation and transaction-related expenses, which were included in operating profit, partially offset by a benefit of $11 million related to the decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, which was included in other income (expense). Other for 2021 primarily included $7 million of impairment and other charges and $5 million in separation and transaction-related expenses, which were included in operating profit, partially offset by a benefit of $10 million related to the decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, which was included in other income (expense). Other for 2020 included $321 million of impairment charges and $18 million in net separation and transaction-related expenses, which were included in operating profit (loss) and $6 million in pension expense related to the de-risking of our defined benefit plans which was included in other expense.

(4)

EBITDA % excluding other costs is defined as EBITDA excluding other costs divided by Revenue.

(5) 

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, Other, net of tax included an expense of $1 million from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, as well as $3 million related to impairment and other charges and $3 million related to net separation and transaction-related expenses, partially offset by a benefit of $11 million related to a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. Other, net of tax for 2021 included an expense of $2 million from changes in the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, as well as $7 million related to impairment and other charges and $5 million related to net separation and transaction-related expenses, partially offset by a benefit of $10 million related to a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. The Company has excluded the impact of these items on its valuation allowance in computing net income (loss) excluding other costs.
